Feeling Kinda Weird

I've been feeling weird and wasn't sure why. I had had this feeling before after Hannah was born and thought that it was just the process of my body healing its self after a long and hard labor compounded by the fact that I wasn't getting a lot of sleep. The best way to describe this feeling is that my uterus is going to fall out. It's tender to the touch and doesn't feel good when I jostle it around by jumping or bouncing Noah on the exercise ball.

This time around the feeling came about two weeks ago. I thought it may have something to do with the spermicide we've been using. Maybe it was irritating my uterus? Just a couple of days ago I noticed that I hadn't notice my uterus aching. Now I know what it was all about.

I started my period again today after a whole year. It came this time four months postpartum whereas last time, with Hannah, it started up just two months postpartum. It seems my body was made to have babies back to back. I'm still nursing Noah. Many women I know don't have a period until their child starts eating solids or even still until their baby is fully weaned. I'm a bit frustrated by how well my body works. I was hoping this time around I would have the full benefits of breastfeeding induced ammenorrhea and super-fast weight loss. No such luck here.
