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!
