Sweet!

My midwife has ordered me a years supply of prenatal vitamins.

No more buying them!  

[Zphal]

That is nice! biggrin

I have a little white baggy FULL of Bacitracin pouches. I squeeze a packet out onto each n****e every day... so that'll mean I use 28 total and I think I have plenty. xd Always nice to have what you need.  

[Mama Ame]

What's that for exactly?

And yeah it's nice having them. Especially not having to pay. You're supposed to keep taking a prenatal as long as you breastfeed. She asked how long the other girls nursed and she goes "Well I'm going to write you up for a year. When the year passes and you run out let me know. I'll get you more."

It's just an ointment that protects against infection. It's very similar to Neosporin.

And sounds like you've got connections. emotion_dealwithit

Ah, gotcha! Definitely don't want an infection in that area!

Speaking of n****e creams I need to buy some lanolin.

Yeah, especially while I'm still scabbing. There's a surface layer of skin that has to naturally come off over these two weeks. Apparently a lot of FTMs freak that their "nipples are falling off" but that's not actually the case. lol  

[Mama Ame]

Yeaaaah we don't want any nipples falling off. That would be bad.

I'm totally jealous you're going to be able to go topless at the beach and stuff if you want.

If I do it this summer I'll have to have an extremely high SPF and not stay out too long. You're supposed to avoid sun exposure for six months to a year, if you're concerned about the appearance of the scars. But yeah, after that, I'll be absolutely home-free.

At the surgeon's office after I'd gotten the bandages off and had my check-up, hubbie said "Put your shirt back on." and I responded "But it's socially acceptable for me to be topless outside now!" and he replied right back "Yes, but it's winter and it's cold. Now put it on." xd

I don't think the nurse could tell I was joking.  

[Mama Ame]

Ahhh yeah it would make sense with the scarring and stuff.

Hmpf I have freaking hot flashes right now. If I could walk around topless I would.
