zap, bang, the chorus sang
He turns over now, from belly to back. He also holds his head up constantly and seems able to find my boob and latch at night even when I'm not helping, aware or even awake (though the latching does wake me).
He took a bubble bath with me yesterday and seemed scared but approving. While he never relaxed his arms and hands from their tight grips on me, he did seem to have a kind of smile on his face the whole time. His smiles are small but seem intentional. My mom is the most able to inspire them.
I'm still bed-resting but feeling a little better. It seems like I won't hurt and be swollen for*ever* which had been my fear. I've canceled 3 lunch dates and 3 dinner dates now and I am hopeful that I won't have to cancel any more. And when I'm well again I will take it easy and not stay so busy, active. I am learning.
Despite the physical pain and the new feeling of post-partum fatness, I don't think I've ever been this happy. We are far from smooth-running and still not emerged from basic-survival-land but so happy.
We watched the Barack-fo-mercial last night and I thought it was well done. What did y'all think?
