I am remembering (like Rebecca) the bliss of the post C-section feeling. Sure, the drugs had a lot to do with it. But I think the ease of breathing and ability to once again lay on my back had MORE to do with it! Also, I was pretty happy to look down and see my feet again - haha!

Ohhh, the memories. Just when I thought that waking up 5 times per night with Baby B here was the pits, I’m reminded that at least I have a soft, warm baby to hang out with. You know, instead of just an uncomfortable bed and an umoving clock and Baby A trying to kick a foot out of my rear end. So my lack of sleep these days is way better than a year ago.

Ooh, the last few weeks. I almost cried when my OB told me she wouldn’t induce right at 38 weeks, that I might go to, gasp, 38 weeks and 4 days. Seriously, almost cried. Of course, I had the babies almost two weeks shy of that goal. I woke up from 18 hours of real unpleasantness (stalled labor, pitocin, more pitocin and then finally a C section) to the thought, “Oooh, I feel fantastic!!”". Ok, so some of that was the morphine IV they had in me, but the other part was that I could breathe finally, my back no longer hurt and my body had finally stopped aching.

Thank you so much for your suggestions and help! (and may I add, your sympathy!!) I’ll try some of those that I hadn’t thought of! Like you said, the end is not more than 6 weeks away! I keep reminding myself that although I am uncomfortable, the twins are sure easier to take care of now than they will be in 6 weeks!
