ONLY a momma who has been through this knows so here's to all the mommas who are AMEN~ING you. P.S....I actually loved those ice packs!! <br />Tidbit to add:<br />Nursing moms...never go to bed without a towel to swaddle your swollen feeding tubes or heavy duty bra with pads in it ...you might wake up in a huge puddle.Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01618178910722598005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606161041749648789.post-29356038002501172952010-05-08T21:31:58.543-04:002010-05-08T21:31:58.543-04:00P.S.

The ice chips are a nice alternative way to express your frustration and of course there's the added benefit: chomping down on those sucker's will make your breath smell like an icy mountain spring when your loving husband wants to kiss you in order to inadequately express to you how thankful and honored he is to stand next to the bedside of his beautiful princess whilst she daintily brings his offspring into the world!

Doctor's need to advise "at the very least, you should wait six to 10 weeks, or more, or not at all? And those post partum mood swings last a long time- like 13 or 25 or 27 years or so! I can still sob at the least little thing when I think about how quickly my baby's grew up! I hope you'll soon get over the labor and delivery part, so you can get on with enjoying every possible moment with the little guy-- it'll go so fast! I can't wait to see the new Mama holding little Levi!mary your sisnoreply@blogger.com
