So, while I'm working on typing up Miles' birth story, here are some things that suprised me about post-birth life. Miles' face in the photo above represents how I feel about them.
1. My feet look/feel like hippos. I can't believe how swollen my hands and feet are. They feel heavy!I'm also hoping once they go down, a few more pounds slide off.
2. Cravings. I didn't really have any while pregnant, but now it seems all I want is food! I'm thinking it may have something to do with the fact I was on the 'clear hospital diet' for 2 days straight.
3. Downstairs- I figured that I would be miserable from birthing the little dude, but I have no physical symptoms to prove I just gave birth. I feel great. That was certainly a surprise, and not gonna lie, I'm glad that I'm not dealing with ice packs, creams, sprays, pain meds, etc.
4. Swings- I knew that I may have some mood swings, but I didn't expect my body to go from one extreme temperature to another. I'm rational enough to notice when I may be feeling more overwhelmed about something than I normally would and talk myself out of it, but I have no way to control the huge range of temperatures my body seems to be going through.
