A little sore...

Last night was a little rough. Dr. Lo removed my staples yesterday and my incision was extremely sore yesterday and last night. Dr. Lo said she had to go about an inch farther on each side than she normally does because "his ass just wouldn't come out!" So I tell myself that most other c-sections probably wouldn't hurt that badly but my darn incision is pretty long. Erik is off now to refill my pain meds. He has made sure I stay on top of them so up until yesterday my pain was manageable. Brady did not want to sleep or keep quiet last night around 11-12 either, so Erik did all he could to calm him while I slept. We'll try to keep him awake in the early evening tonight to see if that will allow us to sleep. After that episode, he did sleep for a good 2-3 hours each time inbetween feedings. Breastfeeding is going great. He's big though so I'm not sure how much longer the 'football' hold will work, but I can't hold him in front yet because the weight of him on my belly hurts. Not much else is new. I want visitors, but I know I'm still healing and need my rest. So don't get your feelings hurt that I haven't called to say come over! Getting up and down is still quite a challenge - as well as finding clothes that are comfortable and presentable! :)


Here is a picture of Brady in his crib yesterday (he sleeps in a bassinet in our room right now) . We set him in there to check it out...I know, no stuffed animals when he sleeps!
