I cooked dinner tonight!  The whole works, a nice MenuMailer meal, with veggies and everything.  All by myself!  And my tummy didn't hurt at all when I was done.  My back hurt a little, because I still hunch a little when I stand, but not my tummy.

Then I went and tried to take a walk, and my stomach started cramping before I managed to cross the street!  One thing at a time...

Bonus, though:  I found a way to nurse Liam to sleep.  I can sit in the corner of my sectional, cross-legged.  Our couch has great back support, and there are armrests around that corner that I can rest my knees against.  Then Liam can lay in my lap, without touching my tummy, and nurse to sleep.  Which he did, for naptime this afternoon.  Switching sides is a little tricky, because I really can't just pick him up and flip him like I usually do, but I can sort of slide him around after he sits up.  And he mostly climbs in and out of my lap on his own.  Yippee!!  I've missed cuddling him so much.

I also measured myself tonight, and compared to the measurements I took back in April.  I've lost a full inch in the waist, and and inch and a half in the hips.  And that's while I'm still all swollen and lumpy, too.  I guess I didn't gain inches after all!  I wonder how my pants are going to feel when I can get them back on.  I just can't imagine.
