Week One Post Pardum

I've been home with my child for a week now and it feels like a month. The little ups and downs are:

• Realizing she likes to hold her poops and chooses to do one whopping one every few days. When it happens, it scary (my husband is still traumatized).
• She is still adorable. Her appetite has increased, which is good.
• I've lost almost 30 pounds since giving birth. I have weighed in so low since in the last four years since my last surgery. It's the breastfeeding, I know, but I just didn't know it would be so fast.
• I'm starting to recognize my ankles again! Yay!!!!!

• I'm getting a little cabin feverish. I plan on buying my Mother's Day cards today and send them out. I've gotten a few of them and it's so weird to me.

I know I'm a mother now and do motherly things, but it still feels strange to call myself a mother. I don't have a problems saying, " my daughter, my child, my baby, my baby girl..." I guess once I hear her call out "Mommy" I'll get the shivers and it will feel real.
