The DR (or rather, midwife) didn't know what's causing the pain in my incision area. She says the most likely suspects are a haematoma caused by some stitches being ripped out, or a muscle torn somehow. She gave me more pain medicine and told me if it's no better by next Weds that I need to go and have an MRI. It is actually a bit better mind you, as I've done very little for the last couple of days. We've been out, but not on major excursions, and I've been careful to avoid lifting things.
Instead, I'm on day 2 of a migraine. I think this is because I unwittingly got a caffeine addiction going again in the form of diet coke. I don't usually drink it but with G around (and him being an addict) it's been plentiful in the fridge so I've been having a couple of cans a day. I bought some caffeine free ones instead and as of yesterday switched to those, and sure enough - stonking migraine. Note to self: Avoid fizzy drinks with caffeine in!!
I bought Tabby a play gym today - she absolutely loves it. I lay her on it this evening and she smiled away at all the little toys and kicked her legs in glee. I also put her on her tummy for some 'tummy time' for the first time...... I never really did this with the boys because I'm a slacker and maybe it accounts for their being slow to crawl. Although thinking about it, I'm not sure I want her to crawl early. Immobility is alot easier!
On the colic front, we fixed her last night. She was screaming inconsolably again and G decided to take her for a drive. He was out for an hour and she fell asleep almost immediately that they left. When she got back she was hungry but no longer screaming. This is definitely the way forward if this continues for another 2 months as predictions for colic tend to say..... far less stressful than listening to her cry and not being able to do anything for her, the poor lamb.
