An Ode to Postp

Thank God for those glorious mesh panties they give you in the hospital after you have a baby. And the ice packs that they pretend are pads. Thank God for that satisfying “pop” when you bend the ice pack to activate. And thank God for its wonderous cooling…

All hail this miracle spray which I used like I was breathing air. My bathroom still smells of it all these years later…

Thank you to the postpartum nurses who kindly show you how to use your squirt bottle…

And thank God for the three holes that distribute the water with the perfect cleansing streams.
