*lol* I just trimmed my toenails and was able to breathe throughout the entire process! :cheers:

Also, a roll of toilet paper seems to last an awful long time these days. I can actually go hours in between having to pee.

What postpartum perks have you been enjoying, besides an adorable new baby of course?

I can hug my husband straight on instead of sideways!
And I can put on my underwear and pants without sticking my leg out at a ridiculous angle.

Sleeping on my belly, wearing pants that zip and button, being able to breathe while putting shoes on, and not get winded when I carry ds1 around.

I was able to give my 4 year old a bath last night and my back didn't feel like it was going to break.

I'd love to try belly sleeping but I ended up with a c-section so I'll have to put that off for a few weeks. Not to mention, I doubt that sleeping on top of milk-filled, porn star sized boobs would be comfy.

I'm 30 pounds lighter since I had TJ ( i was HUGE, and have many more to go), and am already feeling the difference. I like being able to shave my legs, bend over to do laundry and cuddle DS #1.

I can't think of anything that ISN'T better now that I'm not pregnant!!
I can lay on the floor or the bed propped on my elbows, (but no way can I sleep that way on these milk-balloons .)
I like being able to get out of the car without looking and sounding like a 90 year old sumo wrestler.
I can fit past other people, and I no longer scrape my belly on the broken oven door handle.
I have a new object of cuteness to photograph constantly!

And I can pick up my big boys again!!!

I can move without grunting.
I can hug my little girl and pick her up again.
I can cook without my belly getting hot.
I can snuggle my baby!!!
