Post partum: Week 3

Weight: 134 lbs
Waist: 33.5 inches

Aches and pains: headaches, incision pain and itching due to healing, aching back and hips. My knees are starting to buckle from time to time and I feel wobbly on my feet.

This week is much better than last. I feel like I have a lot more energy and I really want to go out and do some things.

Mike took me to the studio to drop off some things and to check in with Rachele, but when we got back I was pretty tired and needed a long nap.

Naps are a daily necessity. I keep waking up in the middle of the night because Finnegan comes down to our bedroom around 4:00 a.m. and wants to sleep with us.
It takes about two hours to take care of him and then Elijah that when the alarm clock rings at 7:00 a.m. I'm exhausted.

Elijah is doing really well, except for a shared yeast infection that we both have. So, we are taking medication to treat it. He has a lot of white spots on his tongue and on the inside of his mouth. I have itchy, burning nipples that really hurt when he's nursing. Just when I thought things were getting better, thrush comes along. We'll get over it.
