C-Sections

Maybe I'm being a baby but the whole c-section is still a really painful experience. It's been over a week and it's continues to be very sore and hurt. Oh and if you own a minivan well getting in and out of it after a c/s is NOT a fun time. I'm grabbing on to the "oh crap bar" and then the armrest to help pull me in. I guess watching me it might be quite humorous. On top of that Jackson keeps asking me if he can look at the hole in my stomach. I'm not sure why he is so fascinated with it but he is.

So for those of you who are pregnant do what you can do avoid a c/s. If no one else tells you I will. It is painful. I mean really really painful. Getting in and out of bed is not an easy thing and lying on your side, well it'll take a little bit. So is sitting down to potty, well the lowering process is just uncomfortable. I honestly don't know how people can come home from the hospital after a c/s with their new baby and 2 other kids and not be worn out and do it all.

The good news financially though is I've decided I'm never ever getting a tummy tuck. I've wanted one for years but after this c/s I'm not letting anyone cut into my stomach again. So I will be striking the tummy tuck off my list of things to save money for. :-)
