The Papa

The D&E (I was suctioned, not scraped) was accomplished without much ado. I've recovered relatively well - better than expected, really - but too much activity brings on cramping. So, I rest so as not to make my body mad.

It was nice to be around my family last night. To feel their love and concern. I told them M needs more hugs than I do. He's sad.

I told him yesterday that my belly's already flatter. He said "don't say that! That makes me sad!" My sister gave us a card, which made him a little sad too.

Then last night, he laid his hand on my stomach and said "I feel like the emperor penguin who's lost my egg!" Poor guy!So far, I'm doing OK emotionally and physically. I f/u with my doc in 2 weeks. Right now, my major concerns are how my body's going to take the hormone plummet, how long it's going to take for my cycle to return, and whether we'll be ready to stand back up and try this all over again.
