While Matthew had the boys yesterday morning and most of the afternoon I enjoyed the quiet and did some laundry and began the task of 'the great clothing migration' for Aaron. I was just finishing up when they got home. I don't know if it was timing or the energy they came in with, but I felt zapped after that. I ended up on the couch and fell asleep. Jared asked me why I'd slept so much the last few days. I don't remember exactly what I said, but I think it was something like I've been tired and not feeling well.

I ended up having more cramping the rest of the day. It wasn't as painful as before delivery, but they were still pretty uncomfortable. I am sure it was just the afterbirth cramping for the uterus to shrink again but it was miserable. I ended up laying in bed most of the evening. Matthew ordered Papa Johns for us and we all ate on the bed together. Jared and Matthew played on the Wii and Aaron played on my computer til midnight while I crashed out. I was so worn out.

I did not want to get up this morning but with Stake Conference we couldn't sleep in very late either. I have felt pretty well today with just a little cramping off and on but I still feel pretty tired. I am more weepy today though. I was thinking this morning that unlike when you have a newborn, I'm not getting any of the oxytocin to counter the effects of labor and delivery. What a wild ride pregnancy is.
