(no subject)
We're back from the grownup doctor today, who checked in on the aftermath of the Labor From Hell. He says everything seems pretty good, but still no exercise for another month, just walking. And no lifting anything much heavier than Paddy's car seat. Humbug to that. But on the up side, I'm allowed to drive again*, so I'm not completely stuck at home any more. YES!! We're goin' on a field trip, kid!
The scar appears to be healing nicely, and it's low enough that only Coleman will ever see it. Or if it ever is visible, it would be because I'm doing something so scandalous that no one will notice.
Paddy is still doing fabulously. He even slept through Mom getting a haircut, blowdryer and all, and he's currently sitting in my lap wrapped up like a little Oki-Dog, kicking me in the stitches and staring sleepily into space. He's working really hard at holding his head up, but he's not quite there yet. We finally lost the umbilical stump, too. His new bellybutton is still a little gooey, but once it heals up a little more, we can finally give him a real bath instead of just scrubbing him off with a washcloth.
I may be a little biased, but he's about the most mellow, sweet-natured babe.. well, ever. He eats like his dad. Once he's out, he'll sleep for hours, and he doesn't even fuss too much, unless we forget his pacifier on car rides (sorry kid, Mom sucks). We've been so lucky that he's such a good kid.

* as long as I'm not taking the pain meds. Not gonna be a huge problem, since I don't take it during the day-- sleepy Kar3n is a nonfunctional Kar3n.
