So apparently I’m ovulating. Like, right now. Just laying in bed chatting and stuff and ow!<\/i> A few minutes later, ow<\/i> again. Left ovary. When they said you could feel it more after giving birth, they weren’t kidding. Other than my clomid\/IVF cycles – where I had a ton of stuff going on in my ovaries – normally I could sometimes feel something that, maybe, possibly, might be ovulation. But this is like someone taking my ovary and thwacking it with their thumb and forefinger. Multiple times. Last cycle I was at the grocery store when it happened, and I hunched over the bar of my cart for a few moments. And then grinned because HELLO EGG!! So exciting. (Don’t worry, the excitement wears off quickly.)<\/p>\n

You know what else is different? Cravings. As in, I have HUGE CRAVINGS now. Way worse than when I was pregnant. I’m telling people it’s because my body shunned chocolate for almost my entire pregnancy… now it’s trying to make up for it. I’m trying to lose weight, so this is really not great timing on my body’s part. And it has to be sweets, too.<\/p>\n

I have some photos to share.<\/p>\n

This is my belly 3 months after giving birth. (Well, 15 weeks to be exact.) I walked away looking pretty damn good, in my opinion. No stretch marks on the belly. No real wrinkling or anything going on… just a little doughy. You can still see my linea nigra lightly running from my belly button down.<\/p>\n

Alas, the side view is not so impressive. Actually, looking at my photos, it doesn’t look all that different from the pics I took at 4 weeks post-partum. But I’m working on it.<\/p>\n

And lastly, to close out the post, some photos of me and my cats… because, well, they were there when I was taking photos. And apparently they were not impressed at all by my decision to scoop them up.<\/p>\n
