Final Post Partum Check Up

So yesterday I had my final post partum check up - and all looks good! That means I now have the go ahead to start exercising and went for a run / jog today. It also means I don't need to go to the OB/GYN until August for my annual check up! (I don't much like going, you see.) With the final report card in, it makes me look back on my pregnancy with a little distance and some reflection. I had a pretty easy pregnancy overall, below are some of the highlights:
  • - I carried small, so I only ever really had 1 maternity wardrobe. I know other girls who went through 3 distinct sets of clothes. It has been the same pants for me since October. The only bad news is that I am still in them...
  • - Other than 2 migraines in the first trimester, I felt great - no morning sickness which means I never had to puke in the bathroom at work (a huge going-in fear).
  • - My belly button never popped.
  • - Labor was ok - I didn't need any major interventions. Though the vomiting wasn't to swell, the epidural more than made up for it.
  • - With all the raging hormones, I was pretty even keeled - I did have some meltdowns and tantrums, but Tim and I were expecting worse.
  • - We got a beautiful healthy little boy named Miles. Even if it was the worst pregnancy in the world, it would still be worth it.
