Return of an Old Friend

Warning:  Girlie Material Follows

Indeed, I started spotting yesterday, with a full-fledged period today.  First time in 23 months since the pregnancy and birth, and I suppose I should be rejoicing, because it is a positive aspect of the larger fertility picture.  It means that I could have another child, should I make that choice.  And it means that I can continue nursing, for as long as my milk supply lasts.

On the other hand, my body is freaking out from the sudden influx of hormones, I had great difficulty sleeping last night, and I hate the feeling of wearing female instruments of torture that feel like a diaper, though it connects me in a physical way to Raphaela's life experience.
