This may fall into the category of too much information for some people, but you know, too bad. Birth = lots of blood loss = the use of pads. That’s just a fact. Anyway.
Tonight I was in the bathroom with Hayley and realized that my pads were all the way over on the dryer and I was already in mid-pee. I noticed one was out of the bag and sitting right near the edge. I asked Hayley to go get it. Figuring I’d need to describe it, I said, “I need that yellow thing on the dryer. See the little yellow square package that looks kind of like it’s wrapped in a plastic bag? Yeah, that’s it! Can you bring it to me please?”
She then walked over with it and passed it to me, saying, “Here’s your pad Mommy.”
Oh. Well duh. I guess she did know what it was after all.
lol
Too Funny. Little sponges they are.
Heh! The first time Samantha wore panties she said “I need one of those things that you have”. I was really pregnant with Erika at the time and was wearing a liner. I didn’t know what she was talking about and asked her to show me. She opened the drawer and asked to put one on.
Heh. Keep the info forthcoming…I’m due in late May, and every extra detail or perspective helps prepare me. Or so I like to think.
My sister warned me on T-day that sometime before I deliver, in preparation for coming home from the hospital, I should “go to Costco and buy the biggest box of pads you can find…with the wings…because you’ll need them. All.”
LOL!! heehee
I remember being surprised at the blood and gore the second time around. I guess it was there the first time around, I just didn’t notice it as much.
Haha!
That’s not terrible at all. Both of my kids, even my son, know what tampons and pads are and which is which. =/
