Pansyiana: December 2004 Archives

"why did you draw pictures on Nana and Boompa's walls? You know you are not supposed to do that?"
"Oh, I'm so sorry...I...I...I..."
"Yes?"
"Well, I had to use the walls because nobody got me some paper!"

I had my 6 week checkup yesterday. My midwife said I lost 20 pounds, which was "very good". She said the rest of the weight should nurse right off. I hope so because I am not as happy.

She also apologized profusely about the birth and she hopes they will change the protocol about waterbirth for insulin dependent and VBAC mothers. I told her it didn't bother me, but that would be a really great change.

There is always this really weird feeling about not being pregnant anymore and closing the door on that life chapter. On the one hand I am so thankful I am not pregnant anymore, that I can breathe easy and get around. On the other hand, there is always a feeling of slight sadness that the pregnancy is over. What is that? I guess because that person will never be that close to you again...

are so kind. We were visiting my mother yesterday and when we came home there were two wagon tracks in the snow. Not unusual because my Amish neighbors use our phone. They left a casserole for us by the phone.

That was just so sweet. It is also a big comparison to the neighbors who used to just stare at us through their windows in Albany.
