A post…period- December 13, 2011
I know what you’re thinking, “Oh God, Amy! Didn’t you promise not to write about your lady parts on the Internet?!” I did. This isn’t about them, so get over it. Plus, that promise was during pregnancy. Now that I’ve actually had a baby, much of my former modesty has gone out the window. So here goes a post along similar lines…
I forgot all about these….

Yeah, a funny thing happens when you stop breastfeeding. Not like funny “ha ha”, but funny like “oh s#*&!” You see, it’s been almost two years since AF. (That means Aunt Flo, for people who don’t frequent pregnancy message boards.) In that time I fell out of the habit of packin’ heat, a.k.a. carrying sanitary items in my purse.
Today I had a horrible flashback to an unfortunate day in 7th grade that ended in tears and wearing my jacket tied around my waist. I’m sure you ladies can relate. I frantically left the courtroom while working today. I dashed to the car for some backup. I was sweating when I made it to the bathroom.
::phew::
Everything was cool.
I chuckled to myself, thinking how things that were routine the year-before-last now catch me off guard. Then I thought, “Oh, God! I have to explain all this to my daughter one day!”
Womanhood. ::sigh::
Spread it around:
Oh man I hated when that happened… the long break was wonderful. Looking forward to this one.
I don't want to have to think about explaining it to my daughter either… crap.
Oh no! That is the worst. Now you'll be prepared though!
Wow! I'm just surprised that you lasted without your period for two years! I got mine back at 8 weeks and 6 weeks with my two kids, while breast feeding.
