So how does one spend the first day of maternity leave and bedrest? By walking all over SF, Dublin and other places and having sex.

the sex was just because I am now desperate to get the nut out. Cross my fingers. It wasn't even good sex either. Seeing as I haven't had sex since last December, it was kind of a pain.

tomorrow the bear and I go to a breastfeeding class. Joys. It's also going to talk about post partum stuff. Maybe I will go into labor tonight. Small contractions all day... You never know.

Did I mention the fact that it is snowing? Not enough to stay around, but still kind of pretty to watch.

And if you have any questions, especially on breastfeeding, I hope you'll e-mail me. Here are two things I didn't know.

It can hurt really bad at the beginning- even if you're doing it right. Days 7-10 are the worst, after that, it stops hurting. Everyone I know had the same experience. Just get through that time and don't give up.

One thing I found that I now wish I'd had from the beginning were these little um, gel nipple pads called Soothies. They keep scabs from forming if you wear them regularly when you first start breastfeeding. If I have another baby, I will wear them for the first two weeks the entire time.

Keep us posted on those contractions!; 6:26 AM
