So obviously, my life has changed since having Adam. I’ve mentioned this before.
But I have been thinking about physical changes lately.
Some of them are small, like the fact that my hands seem to get waterlogged a lot quicker these days. One round of washing up and my palms are all wrinkled. I used to soak in the bathtub for hours and barely be wrinkled.
Or the fact that I get hangnails, which I never used to get. I think that’s because I use that alcohol rub stuff after nappy changes, since there is no sink in his room. Could be the reason for the wrinkly hands too, I guess.
Of course, some of them are big. I have a very long scar just above my pubic bone, for example. But I like that scar. It brought my son into the world.
My hips hurt more than they used to. Also due to my son.
Of course, all of these things are due to my son.
And I revel in every one of them.
my favorite change is the peeing, the little bit that still happens when I sneeze or laugh realy hard- oh but they are worth it!
I’m curious about health csre in Ireland. You’ve mentioned that Adam will need an MRI for the lump on his side, but it seems like a long wait to get it. Are you happy with the health care there and is it state-suppported? As you know, this is a big issue here in the states right now. Topic for a blog post? 🙂
