Hello, everybody, and welcome to another edition of Getting Hammered.

I'm Mary Catherine Hamm, and I'm here with Vic Mattis, and I'm just, you know, what,

eight or nine days post baby now.

Mary Catherine, have you reached that point post delivery where nobody's asking about you anymore?

It's just, how's the baby?

Oh my gosh, yes.

That was quick.

I had this experience where I went shopping the other day and by myself, and I look basically normal and I'm walking around and I don't have a baby

and I realize, oh, I am no longer special. The baby is special. I am chopped liver. You are. The fact

that you look basically, as you say, normal is not going to get much sympathy, I think,

with a lot of women. But, yeah.

You know, it's the upside of my crappy pregnancies is that once they're over, they're

definitely over.

So the baby is fine.

The baby's great.

It remains easy.

Last night, my husband took care of the baby from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m.

And I got my first block of real sleep.

And that first six-hour stretch after having a baby really hits different. And so today I feel invincible. I've had all the sleep you could possibly have. I was going to say it. How are you

feeling? So you're feeling great then. Yes. I have a little thing that is probably

diagnosable as some sort of postpartum mania. I just, I just need to, I need to be doing everything.

The key is for your husband to just make way. Yeah. And not question any of the, quote, insanity.
