Postpartum Update

It's been so long since I've posted anything on here and finding time for myself is quite difficult. Currently, I'm 26 weeks postpartum. It's truly amazing what the female body can do and endure. My C-section incision has healed quite well considering the area was numb until fairly recently. Every once in awhile I get some sharp pains and itchiness (not exactly the greatest place to be scratching) around the incision site and some lower back issues possibly related to weak abs and a previous injury from an accident. The babies sometimes kick me in that area or put pressure on it when I'm breastfeeding but, all things considered, the delivery and recovery weren't quite as painful as I thought it would be. The contractions I experienced beforehand were the most painful part of the whole experience. I gave birth to fraternal twin boys shortly after midnight, a little less than 12 hours before my scheduled surgery.
