On a roll!

I would first like to point out that I have posted 3 days in a row. 3 days people, that's amazing (hey, simple pleasures for the simply soggy, right?). Expect to see posts daily for the next few days. Read on to see why.

Yesterday was totally fun. A great time was had by all at our little friend's birthday party. I got to rub my friends very pregnant belly too. I sort of miss those little kicks in the bladder at 2am. Ok, maybe not really, lol. I do miss being pregnant, just a teeny bit. I'm 2 weeks postpartum though, I'm allowed to be sentimental towards things that were the bane of my existance 2 weeks ago. Blame the hormones. But that's not why I'm going to be posting regularly. Keep reading.

Last thursday was the fun sewing party. That was fun as usual. Friday was a busy day as well. All these busy days so soon after having a baby and still I feel fine.

That brings us to today. Wait for it... Here's why I'll be a post whore over the next few days. So Neall is busy working on his lab notebook for school. This is important stuff, usually results in an all-nighter. I decide to haul the kids to the mall. It's too hot outside for the park with the baby and the mall has a Sonic. Iced tea, a play area, a place for mama to sit. This should be fine, yes? Well, I park (in the expectant mother parking, I figure 2 weeks pp is close enough to expectant, maybe even a step up, kwim?). Zella in the stroller, Oak in the sling, Winnie and Finn walking, we hike to the food court. I order our stuff from Sonic. We're waiting for it to be ready. A strange, weak-kneed feeling comes over me, followed by a glop/goosh feeling. Those of you who've had babies are nodding your heads right now. The food comes, I load up kids, we head directly to the restroom where my fears are confirmed. I'm bleeding. Sorry for the graphic description. I explain to the kids that we can't go to the play area. You can imagine their responses. I hike back through the mall slightly light headed and hoping the big stain on my pants isn't blatantly visible. I load the kids back up and we head home.

I've been placed back on limited mobility. I'm supposed to "take it easy for another few days", as if that's even possible for a mama of 4. I don't have any help to call, though I could probably call on a few friends if necessary, but they've been so ding-dang helpful already I hate to do it. Neall is smack in the middle of the most chaotic time of his school life (so far at least) and can't really do much. He's not even started his lab notebook. What if he doesn't get it done? Argh.

So, all I can do is post to the blog. Perhaps I'll come up with something witty and hilariously funny like Becka's sister. Or maybe I'll figure out how to post a picture and show something crafty. I'd like to show some of Winnie's artwork.
