Girly matters.

I have my period. I’m bleeding profusely and am crampy, achy and miserable. I’m also very, very drained and tired feeling. St00pid anemia.

You know, after I had Alyssa my period returned at eight weeks postpartum. At the time I was breastfeeding, but I was also supplementing with formula.

This time around I thought I’d be like the other breastfeeding mothers and get a break for several months or even a year or more, since I would br be breastfeeding exclusively and not supplementing. I even pumped in between feedings! Yet there was my period, rearing its ugly, bloody, painful head at six weeks postpartum.

It’s not fair, I tell you. Simply not fair. *sulk*
