The road to recovery
Nine days later, and Baby Ian is doing splendidly! He's such a good baby and is surprising the heck out of us by sleeping through the night. We wonder if that will last. Although, he does seem like he's on a fairly regular schedule of feeding/waking/sleeping. He's a very docile baby and often doesn't complain even when his diaper is rather messy, so we have to work hard to keep on top of things. It's a good challenge, though. We are having so much fun with him.

His mommy is still struggling a little bit, though. I tore a lot during the rather quick delivery, so I'm still pretty sore. On Thursday, I had to make an impromtu visit to the Ob/Gyn to take care of some infection and pulled stitches, but I think I'm on the road to recovery. I still can't walk or sit real well, but it's getting better everyday. Maybe soon, I'll be able to eat dinner at the dining room table instead of on a comfy chair in the living room! The doctor said my recovery will be about two weeks longer than it would have been without the infection or pulled stitches, but that's ok. I'm just glad I have a healthy baby!
