Infected sutures suck lots. At least I can take comfort in the fact that a) I caught the infection early on and got appropriate help and b) it's the internal ones that are infected which means it's not my fault hygiene-wise. Still sucks, and the pain makes sitting and breastfeeding more painful than it already is :P
Anyhow, if anyone is still concerned I just wanted to clarify that I don't think I'm doing a horrible job at being a mom (especially a new one), but that I think I'm doing ok and not great. I just really don't think I deserve that much praise, but please don't worry that I'm depessed, etc. etc. and think that I suck. I appreciate the support; I just don't happen to agree given that infant mortality rates are just not that high. Therefore survival of my particular baby isn't that great an accomplishment (though it is awesome in its own right) :)
Anyhow, off to the world of high stakes diaper changes and risky feedings.
