Updates

Today is better than yesterday. I'm not feeling sorry for myself so much any more. Sometimes its nice to have a day like that. And now its over. Here are some updates on things that have been going on lately.

Emmett and I still have a little healing to do. When his umbilical cord stump fell off, the skin didn't heal immediately and it looks like he has an outie, so it thats making it harder for the skin to heal completely. I called our doctor last week to see if we needed to bring him in and have it looked at but he doesn't think so. We just need to watch for signs of infection. So far, so good. My incision is still open in one place. My OB had said we could stop irrigating over a week ago, but we've needed to continue that every couple of days because of signs of infection.

Emmett has an odd sense of humor that we haven't quite figured out yet, so still no pictures of his adorable smile. He seems to like being naked so maybe next time I change him I'll have the camera ready. We're starting to get into a routine that he will more than likely change in a few days. He's awake for a few hours in the morning, sleeps until around six and then stays up until ten or eleven when we put him to bed.

My baby blues are pretty much gone. I did cry a little yesterday but it had been at least a week since the last time I'd cried. My hair isn't falling out when I brush it yet so it seems like the hormones are still hanging around, but at least its mostly manageable.

Crys and I are doing pretty good. We still have some bad days, but mostly, we have good days. So all in all, I'm happy to report that things are going pretty well.
