It's baaaa-aaaack

September 19, 2012. A day that will live in infamy. After a twenty month hiatus, my period returned.

I've heard so many varying stories from other moms, I had no idea when to expect it. So I was caught completely by surprise. But my response was instant, pure joy. I'm not exactly looking forward to the return of monthly cramps, bleeding and mood swings. But after months of feeling in limbo and like I had no control over my body, it's nice to have a familiar regular marker back in my life. Yes it means I have to worry about putting tampons on the grocery list again, but it also means that my body is moving on after being solely Piper focused for over a year and a half. it means we're almost to the end of our Breastfeeding journey. It means my body is almost mine again.

And oh yeah- it means we can start trying for baby number two.

I'm back, baby.
