Oh em eff gee. (warning - TMI!)

I don't even know why I bother giving a TMI warning anymore. I think we can all agree that at this point about 99% of my posts have something that is TMI in them!

So, the bleeding. I obviously knew ahead of time there would be bleeding, and that I still have a ways to go before it's over. I also knew there could be clotting, but I figured that was just in the first couple days after, and that it would get less and less as time went on. I had a couple notable clots the first day after, but since then it's just been tiny little things here and there.

Imagine my reaction when I gave birth to a mouse last night.

I swear to you guys, this clot was the size of your average field mouse. [I know because we have a mouse problem in our basement. Another story for another day :-P] I actually measured it because I wanted to have the dimensions in hand when I called the doctor, because I figured there was no way this was normal! J even told me not to flush in case they wanted me to bring it in or take a picture or something.

Ahh, we are so naive. Turns out that is totally normal. Super awesome! I will say, my personal care is quite possibly the hardest part about this having a baby business. I am so very much looking forward to the day I stop bleeding. Especially since I am one of those lucky bitches that has 3 day periods with a very light flow, so this is just a totally different world for me, and one that I am looking forward to leaving!
