So I've finally managed to break the Percocet habit, now that the pain is under control. I'm taking the odd dose of Tylenol if it starts to hurt at the end of the day but otherwise I think the worst of it is over (touch wood).
I have an 'incision check' on Thursday.... hopefully it will be healing and not infected :-/ I tried washing it with some antibacterial cleansing solution yesterday and it seems to have fetched off the steri strips - oops.
This morning on the scales I discovered that I am already back to my pre-pregnancy weight, which only goes to show that I must've been horribly overweight before getting pregnant because I still look like a whale, and my stomach resembles a half deflated beach ball. Still, the weight is literally falling off (25lb in 11 days) so I hope it will continue to do so and that I'll be stick thin very soon!
Tabitha is doing brilliantly, she's eating and sleeping like a champ. Last night she slept for 6 whole blissful hours and I almost felt human this morning! She has marathon feeding sessions in the evening but I can just about cope with those, and if not then G takes her and tries to keep her from screaming to give me a half hour break to replenish the supplies!
Harry is extremely cute with his sister. Every time she is fed he likes to help burp her. Being a bit over zealous with his smacks to the back you have to keep a close eye on him to say the least, but he loves to help. When she needs a bum change he's there handing out nappies and wipes. And if she's awake he wants to cuddle her all the time.
Dylan is also besotted with his sister. He offers to hold her all of the time. Yesterday after cub camp he got home and rushed in to show her off to his friend, and then showed him how to hold her. He and his brother are also obsessed with my breastfeeding and keep talking about it, and asking questions about it. Yesterday Dylan came into my bedroom and found me using the breast pump (trying to build up some supply for the fridge) and said 'That looks very worrying' in a very concerned voice. Too funny. They're so cute, my children :o)
