Yes, that Adelaide. In Detroit.

They say having a baby changes you, and I assumed this was true, but my god it really feels like that was a totally different person two weeks ago. Matrescence is too fucking real. In good and bad ways. Lots of tears, happy and sad. But I feel so, so different now, I think in the best of ways.

C-section incision not hurting so bad, lost 20 pounds already, and very obsessed with this full head of hair all that acid reflux gave me. I also slept for nine whole hours in three stretches last night, what a treat. Only gets harder I've heard, but it's definitely pretty bright right now.

Unplanned c-section yesterday after 20 hours of no epidural (did end up getting one around the 20-hr mark from lack of sleep and horrifying cervical checks) AND I had a bppv vertigo attack, but he is here. Our son is here.

A couple weeks ago I emailed my fave chicken sandwich spot to see if the flavor I love will ever come back on the menu. So they special made me four of them yesterday. Cried in the car on the way home. They were so, so good.
