Freedom!

Now that I'm not pregnant or breastfeeding any baby anymore, it feels kinda strangely liberating to be able to eat whatever I want without feeling bad about it! I can drink as much coffee and tea as I want! I can drink beer! I can paint my nails/straighten my hair/color my hair without worrying about toxic fumes! I can even eat more salmon without worrying about extra mercury entering the bloodstream/breast milk. I'm so used to being cautious about all these stuff that it just feels weird to be able to indulge in them with wild abandon. I can even go have my tubes tied without worrying about the GA or painkillers (that one is another story for another day). And oh! I can eat any medicine now without requesting for those that are "safe for breastfeeding"( i.e. weak stuff)! I've been avoiding strong flu/cough meds, prescribed ones and OTC ones for so many years! 

Oh sweet freedom, how I've missed you!
