Break it to me gently
Sep. 3rd, 2004 01:14 pmI won't gross you out with the details of how my illness progressed yesterday. It was bad. The good news is, both I and Maggie seem to be on the mend -- feeling better today, if still a bit weak and tired.
I've lost a lot of the baby weight, assisted in part by this week's sickness. Maggie continues to gain weight, so we're both doing well on that front.
I'm back to my earliest maternity clothes, stuff I was wearing at the end of the first trimester, beginning of the second. Unfortunately, my ass seems to have deflated. While I think it would be nice for Maggie to (eventually) have a shape like mine, I do not want her to have my shape. I'd like to keep my shape for myself for a few more decades, thanks. But I'm guessing that this is the beginning of the bad news. Does anyone know if a 30-something first-time mom can get her ass back after delivery?
Oh, and I'm not sure what kind of exercising I can do. I seem to have injured my tailbone in the process of giving birth, and I'm waiting to hear more advice from the doctor regarding movement.
