It was inevitable. 13.5 months after having Samantha, my period has returned. I sort of expected it because there were signs of ovulation about 10 days ago and I was dropping everything in sight yesterday. I'm a total clutz right before I get my period. So there it is. I'm actually pretty psyched that I've had about 2 years without a menstrual cycle - 37 weeks of pregnancy and now 13.5 months post-partum. Hooray for breast feeding! Body, you have served me well and I thank you.
*As an aside, I am still nursing Sammy but it is only in the mornings now. And if I miss a feeding, there seems to be no difference in how I feel. Certainly, there is no pain or engorgement. It's been so nice weaning her gradually (as opposed to forcing Ian to wean around 11 months).
