A woman's body is an amazing thing.

Tuesday, April 8, 2008 | |

Not only do we get to make a baby, we get to nurse her, and share a bond. I woke up this morning with my baby next to me sleeping so soundly and I just took a few minutes just to stare at her as I do at some point everyday. She brings me so much joy and pride. I can't imagine my life without her and I don't know how I survived this long without her in my life. I suppose the last 32 years helped me prepare for her arrival.

After 19 months, I finally got my period back today. Nothing out of the ordinary for women but it just fascinates me how well the body works. I know I sound a little crazy for being excited to get my period and it definitely was NOT missed but I'm glad it's here. This means that my body is working properly which is always a good thing.

I'm very grateful for my body and it's ability to conceive, carry, deliver, nurse, and love a baby; A baby that shows me love and how to love like no other.

We women are AMAZING! Now my muffin-top belly just needs to shrink back to nice abs. ;)

Wow! I'm actually jealous you got it back while not having to cut down on nursing! I had to cut down, but now we are back to infant feeding...at least it feels like it to me!
I agree our bodies are amazing. Especially when everything works the way i9t is supposed to, my heart goes out to those who can't or have issues TTC. My SIL will probably never have kids and she is only 27. I feel almost guilty letting her know my good news.
