...just call me a cow. I feel like I have utters. Its almost impossible to get anything done and the whole "rest when the baby rests" thing.... yay, that only works so well. I'm trying, believe me. But, I really have hardly any downtime with this breastfeeding schedule we have. Not that I'm complaining because I really and truly trust the lactation specialist and know that we are on the right path, but it really is pretty intense and time consuming.

BTW- You know you are married when your legs and feet are incredibly swolen from surgery, you have a flabby belly that just days before housed an 8-lb baby and is now droopy, a huge incision across your abs, sore/cracked nipples and you are hooked up to a breastfeeding monitor, haven't showered, etc and your husband still loves you.

Oh boy do I remember these days...it does get easier, I promise. But just when it does, everything changes again. :) Congratulations and welcome to parenthood! Sounds like you've been through quite an ordeal already. Hang in there, it really does get better and better. I'm dying to see pics!!
