is always so much easier than living through it! I had my 6 week post-partum appointment today and I got pretty emotional on the ride to the clinic. I have (now) such fond memories of the great care I received during my pregnancy. I had a little "family" that I started to see every week for quite some time and then I saw Dr. L and her partners everyday for the month I was in ante-partum. It's not that I was ever unhappy with my care, it was just a very high risk pregnancy that caused a lot of stress followed by many uncomfortable days towards the end. When I was pregnant all I wanted was for it to be all over; and now, looking back, all I can think about is the incredible experience I went through and question whether I knew that at the time. I think I felt the same way after I had Brody, that being pregnant wasn't that bad!! I guess that's why women like me who don't especially like being pregnant decide to do it all over again- because after birth we completely block out all of the negative memories that were once all consuming, ha!
I guess the purpose of this post is to thank everyone who had a hand in my care and saw me through the most difficult experience of my life (to date)! I am so fortunate to have had such a great Dr with a fabulous support staff that it makes me sad that I won't get to experience it all ever again. It was both the longest and shortest experience of my life.
**Ben, please don't have a heart attack when you read this- in NO WAY does this mean I want to have another baby!! I am just hormonal and nostalgic today, heehee.
