Noo, those little tiny ones are great, too! Everything is so new, and as a parent you get a constant reminder of the awe in which you once held the big mystifying world yourself.

Half watermelons here, wore a double G nursing bra (EU bra size). Thought I'd be able to see my feet again postpartum, but no such luck for a long time. And yes, I had a midwife who came twice a week and massaged me, bless her.
