She said as long as I&#8217;m not taking the pain pill and just the prescription Ibuprofen then I can drive&#8230;WAHOO! I only take the actual pain pill once every other day or so and its only at night so I&#8217;m good.  Anyway, I haven&#8217;t really driven but maybe once or twice to the store since July! That&#8217;s 3 1\/2 months people.  I&#8217;ve felt like Driving Miss Daisy forever having to depend on others to take me places, and if you know me, you know I hate it! <\/p>\n<p>Saturday I left Jonathan at home with the boys alone, and while they had their own little <a href=\"http:\/\/www.casadeblundell.com\/jonathan\/adventures-in-fatherhood-a-surprise-attack\/\">adventure<\/a>, I got to venture out to see my nephew play football which I was pretty excited about.  While on my way to the game, driving by myself, it hit me&#8230;&#8221;I&#8217;m all alone&#8221;.  It was a very weird feeling.  It wasn&#8217;t a feeling of &#8220;I&#8217;m all alone, I&#8217;m so lonely, woe is me&#8221;.  It was more of a surreal feeling of &#8220;I&#8217;m alone, there is no one else here&#8221;&#8230;make any sense or is it just sounding like it makes sense in my head?!  For the last 8 months I have carried 2 little bambinos with me everywhere I went.  They heard everything around me, they heard when my stomach growled, my heart beat and felt every movement I made.  They were always there.  I watched what I put in my body so I could keep them as safe as possible and had to watch what I did with my body (ex: bed rest) so I could keep them in there longer. Like I said, it was just a surreal feeling of &#8220;I&#8217;m alone again&#8221;, not a sad feeling, just a feeling.  But that is the one thing that I will miss about being pregnant&#8230;knowing that they are always there and safe inside my tummy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Thursday I had a 2 week check-up with my OB after having my c-section.
