If you have a c-section ... and are 2u2....

dont, at 8 days post surgery, take your toddler to joann fabrics.  It only takes about 3 minutes for said toddler to run away... straight for the automatic opening doors... leaving you and your infant seated baby in the dust.

Thank goodness for the random fabric store lady who helped save Harper for me.... Alas I needed things for newbie photos this weekend:-/

    Oh, PP. All of it!!!

    Also- having a toddler is the one reason I might try for a VBAC next time.

    You should be taking it easy.  I am also one that over did it and my incision opened up at one of the ends at about a week post surgery.  I had to clean it and pack it 2x daily, completely grossed me out. 
    From miscarriages, a diagnosis of a bicornuate uterus, and fibroid removal surgery...It's been quite the journey but it was all well worth it. Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker
