What're all the awesome things you're enjoying now that you've done your duty carrying that little love??

leksiL · December 2016

Have enjoyed countless baby snuggles.

I was just thinking the same thing this morning. But I can't think of a reason to go through that trouble just yet! It's winter, and there is no action going on over here till February!

Nursed this turbo cluster feeding girl for like 80% of her life

karmba · December 2016

@ea301 I hadn't shaved in at least 3 weeks when he was born, and now he's 4.5 weeks old.... I told DH I'm going to need to use his beard trimmer haha

For me - I've had a beer and sushi!

1MommyRunner · December 2016

I slept on my stomach and it is glorious!

capps42613 · December 2016

I have consumed a 20oz of Mountain Dew Code Red per day. (It's like my drug of choice)

cayaylonglegs · December 2016

Lost all my baby weight plus 5lbs. Breastfeeding is the only thing I can attribute it to cause homegirl hasn't worked out at all.

karmba · December 2016

@1MommyRunner I wish I could do that! I'm too afraid of waking up in a puddle of breast milk.

cgss11 · December 2016

Haven't slept more than two hours at a time. Sigh.

Our baby tracking app told me that I have been spending about 4.5 hours a day breastfeeding.

DiFazette · December 2016

I have changed about 1000 diapers... and have only been peed on once! I'm also in a state of constant hunger and quite bitchy about never getting to eat.

sourlemon · December 2016

Lost all but half a pound of the baby weight.

Haven't shaved my legs..or my girly parts! I'm all lopsided from where the nurse shaved for the c section cuz I hadn't shaved there for a few weeks prior to that haha.

Had a few beers / glasses of wine.

cayaylonglegs · December 2016

@karmba - I wake up in a breast milk puddle everyday! I started putting a towel down because stomach sleeping is a must.

allicat89 · December 2016

Cuddling with DH without my ginormous whale belly getting in the way! He says at least once a day that he is so glad I am not pregnant anymore. Me too, hubs. Me too.

Also, I have eaten ALL of the cold cuts.

PharmDMom · December 2016

Have been loving not being pregnant anymore! So thankful for a healthy baby boy but man, I'm so glad he's outside now. It was about one hour after delivery I was raving to DH about how awesome it felt to have Parker out instead of in. No more constant BH, no more being kicked and punched from the inside, no more lightening crotch or groin spasms, my varicose veins are almost gone, I can eat a normal meal without heartburn. I'm loving loving unpregnant life. Now I just need to lose the last 13 lbs of weight pregnancy gifted me and I'll really feel like I'm back to normal! :-P

brittnic86 · December 2016

haha omg I shaved my legs as soon as I got home from the hospital. I was so excited. Got out of the shower and told DH I shaved places I hadn't been able to reach in months! lol.

Christinaruth74 · December 2016

Just reading this thread because I'm a glutton for punishment *one more week, one more week, one more week*

PensiveCrayon · December 2016

@Christinaruth74 SAME. I'm so jealous of all these ladies with their outside babies and the renewed ability to stomach sleep! Our time will come soon enough

fauxpa-2 · December 2016

Ditto the jealousy of stomach sleeping and being able to shave! Don't mind my hairy ass, just passing through...

maamawaabangi · December 2016

Yep... totally envious! I can't wait to sleep on my back or stomach!!! Glorious! I can't wait to wear jeans!!! Oh wow!!! Even looking forward to having a floppy PP belly.

mysteryship · December 2016

I've slept on my back (and will soon do it in my own bed), eaten the first of many deli meats, and am about to enjoy my first postpartum beer.

It's gonna be a while before shaving even crosses my mind...

1MommyRunner · December 2016

@karmba it's worth the puddle.

haha I just make sure I've got the nursing pads on and since I'm up every 3 hours anyway it's not tooooo bad. The towel idea is really smart though!

dmontgo · December 2016

I've been weird PP, that's for sure.

-Cried over spaghetti
-Thought my PP body was magnificent
-Thought my PP body was disgusting
-Decided to learn martial arts
-Squatted down to pick something up, immediately reevaluated martial arts decision
-Loved/hated/loved BFing
-Laughed until I cried because despite our efforts, Ash loves peeing on his face
-Decided to move to England because the movie "Love Actually" is beautiful
-Realized I'm too poor to move to England: cried
-While Ashton was in the NICU, I suddenly understood Britney Spears' head-shaving period of life---realized most of my head is already shaved and it solved nothing
-Pretty sure I'm the best mom of all time
-Pretty sure I'm the worst mom of all time
-Ate 17,000 Christmas cookies, then complained about my body--ate more cookies to comfort myself
-Had one glass of wine---immediately shit-faced

-Fell in love with my life, husband, and son all over again.

I think I'm forgetting a few things...

yellingbanana · December 2016

Have lost 30 lbs in 2 weeks! Only 25 more to go (eye roll).
Cried today when the insurance lady on the phone helped me enroll Lucas for insurance coverage... she was super nice!
Have decided to not have anymore babies for sure!
Talk about possibly having just one more in a few years, I just love them so much!

sourlemon · December 2016

Add to my list:

Watched way more lousy reality court shows than should be allowed in a lifetime!

Kacie209 · December 2016

- Shower maybe twice a week, IF we're doing anything and I need to leave the house looking decent.
- Slept on my back!!
- Haven't really slept in the same bed as DH since Wyatt was born. Although, we have been in bed together when he's brought him in to sleep with us, but we decided neither of us get any sleep that way since Wyatt is a grunter and no one sleeps peacefully.
- Had my first alcoholic drink since March 21, and it really didn't taste that great (Moscow Mule)... but I think the place burned it since it was before my college alum playoff game last Friday and the place was packed with fans who wanted to drink. My second drink was an Irish Coffee, which was much better.
- Have only lost 25lbs. since Wyatt was born. I thought it would be more since I don't each much during the day when I am home with him. 27lbs. more to go to get to pre-baby weight... and hoping these hips slim down some or else a shopping trip will be in order.
- Still am wearing my maternity clothes due to said hips
- Have left the house numerous times in yoga pants (when needing to leave the house, that is), which I never would have done before.
- Watched more daytime TV than I care to... some good, some bad. Started on Netflix, but I just watch shows that I used to watch cos I don't want to commit to something new on my own.
- Got sad at all the clothes on sale at Target yesterday that would look good in my closet that I couldn't buy...

DiFazette · December 2016

@dmontgo

Post partum is a total cluster F. When it's good, it's wonderful, when it's bad - the world is burning. Looking forward to these hormones to level out. I think weaning from pumping is not helping my cause.

jandd2014 · December 2016

I've eaten most of my meals with one hand... with baby in the other arm... while sitting on the couch.

Lisa3379 · December 2016

- watched 7 full seasons of The Office in a little over 2 weeks. I'm fairly convinced my son would recognize Steve Carell's voice over his father's at this point

- have taken a shower every day. It's something I must do to maintain my sanity.

- have felt so guilty about the following things: not pushing him out sooner so he didn't have a cone head like he still kinda has, only taking the dogs for a walk once, not seeing a lactation consultant sooner, etc

brittnic86 · December 2016

@dmontgo

yesss. But you're supposed to move to Oregon!?!? You're amazing ❤️

swhiddon33 · December 2016

Pump. Since I gave birth all I do is pump.

Pumpity pump pump pump.

Just me and muh pump.

sourlemon · December 2016

@swhiddon33 I feel like the pump is another child of mine that demands attention. Ugh.

Per dhs request, I taught him how to clean/assemble the pump. He's done it once since...it's been a week.

trut073014 · December 2016

-slept on my stopmach
-cried for no reasom
-constantly boiling water and bottles
-drinking nothing nut coke and dr pepper

sourlemon · December 2016

@trut073014 unless your pedi recommended for a health reason, there's no need to sterilize bottles after every use. Save yourself!

MissLeighAndBabyG · December 2016

Since I gave birth I have...

-Drank a glass of wine
-cluster breast fed till I thought my nipples were going to fall off
-shaved
-slept on my tummy and back
-lost all 12 pounds of baby weight plus 4 extra
-watched all 6 seasons of archer I have on DVD 3 times
-wrestled and rough housed with my toddler
-chased my toddler around the house
-sat with my knees up to my chest

And I haven't puked once! Life is good!

kaitmb88 · December 2016

Sleeping on my stomach! Had a couple glasses of wine. I can walk around and not feel like falling over.

yellingbanana · December 2016

Feel like I'm living in some alternate reality that is happy, sleepy, and foggy.

Christinaruth74 · January 2017

For the first time in forever (ok now frozen is stuck in my head....) I was able to sleep in my bed comfortably. This morning DD1 climbed in bed with us and I felt like i just melted into the mattress for a couple of hours. I let H take the girls downstairs and I'm still laying here in amazement.

Ate mozz sticks and didn't want to puke from the garlic

ive pooped so many poops!

zubenescamali · January 2017

I'm a little amazed at How quickly the reflux just disappeared after birth. I've eaten pizza twice now with absolutely no acid burning in my throat, and not waking up with acid and vomit in my mouth. And I'm off all the reflux meds.
I've slept on my back! I've climbed up the stairs in my house and stood up for more than 5 minutes without my back falling apart!
feeling like a new person.
