I have been pondering over my upcoming and nonnegotiable LABOR. Going over previous ones and all the differences, such as just normal but fast for the first, not quite so normal, as in delivering in a massive snowstorm, on the side of the road in Jeremiah's work truck for the second, and fairly normal, but in Cali and in a hospital for the third. Comparing the in and outs of each.
As Miah was the first I had in a hospital, there were a few differences.
One thing in particular stuck out to me and brought back some rather funny and humorous moments.
After having her, and taking a bit to get it all back together, I attempt my first wobbling trip to the bathroom.
And there I find nicely laid out for me a pair of panties.
Wow, how sweet of them, and then I hold them up..............what?
These are not your normal run of the day panties, no these are FISHNETS. You read it, that's right, 'FISHNET'.
I mean................. REALLY?
I am already feeling slightly grotesque and jelloish and etc., etc. and you give me fishnets???????? Come on!!!!!! Lets rub it in a bit. My poor hubby is not getting any benefit out of these doosies.
And then, lets top it off............right beside these wonderful little things are what you are supposed to put inside them. Yep, the equivalent of at least three large toilet paper rolls.
I look at my non-sexy first time pair of fishnets, that when held up look like they might fit the newborn I just had and then over at my "toilet paper rolls" and think... "maybe I did loose a little to much blood and am slightly light headed and not thinking correctly. Should I page the nurse and see if she is really expecting this to happen? "
Finally getting myself 'put' together, I proceed to waddle, even worse then BEFORE I had the baby, considering that I cannot even get my legs two feet to within each other, back to the bed.
No wonder hospitals insist on wheeling you out in a wheel chair. They totally know there is no way that you could ever walk out normally. :}
