(spew warning) Hospital Happenings

Sounds like your DF has my own sense of humour! Glad to hear you are
feeling okay. Don't forget to take it easy.

Got sprung from the hospital yesterday - they took out the baby carriage
and
left the playpen, as my DF says and put my bladder in a sling.

I had several visiters - including a delightful 3 month old who was quite
happy to snuggle with me in bed while her mom and I visited. Had more
company arrive while I was holding the baby - the looks on their faces
were
priceless! They were NOT expecting to find me to be cuddling a baby!

I really do have to laugh about this. I was sent home from hospital after
DD1's c-section and told NOT to lift anything on pain of death. Okay I
said. After one week I was hefting the laundry basket, the groceries, the
vacuum. After second DD's c-section, same warning, only difference DH was
home for 2 weeks. After springing me with a full laundry basket he said
"Why didn't you call me and I would have moved it?". My answer? "How do
you think it all got moved after Madeline was born?" Then it dawned on
him.....the Heavy Lifting Fairy does not exist.

Glad you're feeling fit enough to post! Just you take heed of all the
dire warnings about lifting stuff - or not! - and make sure you heal
well.

good to know I'm not the only one who disregards doc's advice at times!
Within a day after getting home with Rebekah, I was totaing laundry,
doing dishes, moving things around....of course, this was all after
moving furniture and repainting our bedroom while pregnant...guess I
just don't know how to slow down for anything!

Nel the gadget queen will tell you the consequences of lifting an 8 YO 3
weeks after a hysterectomy are not too good!

That lifting after babies is one of the things my mom got hollered
about by her mom and she hollered at me. We each learned the
hard way and they were right. YOu don't stay young forever and it all
adds up. It really does pay to take care of yourself when you are
young!

when katie was born...36 hours of induced, THEN a c-section...we came home from
the hospital, and that day, (in all the ice...) i took the dogs for a walk
around the block. our block is one mile. i was constantly running up and down
the stairs ...the dr. i had at that point, never gave me instructions on what i
could and could not do.

fast forward 8 years later with nate...another c-section (this time
scheduled...he came out weighing 10lb6oz).....i did take it easier and asked
for help more often. but, instead of being 29, i was now 37, and feeling it
more! lol...
