I got my period!

I feel really strange... I haven't had a period since 3 April last year, so it's been awhile. It's nice to know that it's all still working properly down there — it is a nice reminder of my fertility, of the fact that I'll have another little Otis at some point in the future. It also makes me sad... Sad that that whole "period" of my life is over. It is a period in more ways than one — a full stop signalling the end of the amazing journey that is conception, pregnancy and birth. My baby is no longer fully reliant on me for sustenance — he has fewer breast feeds now, and can be nourished by others.

Getting a period is also an absolute pain in the ass — I haven't had to bother with tampons for almost 18 months!
