Well, E is doing well, she is regaining weight after the post birth weight loss (of all babies, not just E). She is also alert, a good colour, content and so on. And the brightest baby ever (since my last ones) obviously.
So, me.
My blood pressure is normalising. Woohoo. It is still high, but it is no longer dangerously so. No more hospital!
My body is a slightly better version of the one I had prepregnancy. Seriously. I apparently don't do the baby weight thing and the ginormous bump is vanishing at an astonishing rate.
We won't talk about the udder and the new added udder of udder. We shall pretend that it's not there and that I wear Spanx for comfort only.
I have had odd compliments on my thinness. While I was having my spinal block given prior to E being delivered, I was pleasantly aware that there was little flabby resistance to the anaesthetist's fingers when he was feeling for my hipbones in order to ascertain my symmetry. He later commented that I had a "nice back" with nothing in the way of the vertebrae. When giving injections to prevent clotting, the midwife complained that I didn't have enough fat on my legs.
I'm not skinny. By a long shot. However, I was gratified in hospital every time the "large" blood pressure cuff had to be replaced by the "medium" one. Most other patients seemed to need the large and I have noted that most ladies seem to have lardy arms in pregnancy. Even skinny ladies.
I am feeling a bit less hormonal now, I managed to do stuff around the house and generally feel more, well, normal. With a cute little baby added in.
