Week 2

Have you ever been stuck in your house unable to go anywhere or do much of anything? As we rush from place to place and go, go, go, we think it'd be fun to be stuck in the house for a few days to get caught up! Then it happens to you, and you wish you were anywhere but home! Due to my c-section complications, I have been limited on what I can do and with a newborn you are not suppose to get out for 4 weeks. Needless to say I am going stir crazy!

We went for Garrett's two week check up on Tuesday and he weighed 8 lbs. 7 ozs. That is almost a pound more than his birth weight. She said everything else looked good as well! We go back at 2 months to start shots....Mommy is not looking forward to this. Daddy is going to take off work and go with us! Garrett's naval cord feel off on Thursday! So, he got to take a bath in the little tub on our kitchen counter! How exciting! I was going to publish some of those pictures but you can see all his business and I would rather not put that out for the whole world to see!

On Monday, I had to go back to the dr. before my scheduled appointment on Thursday because when my nurse, Robert (ha ha) changed my packing on Sunday, there was green puss on the gauze. The home health nurse came back and checked it and called the dr. on call and they said I call the dr. on Monday. So, back we go to the dr. and had to see a different one because my doctor was on call at the hospital. He cleaned it out and agreed that it is infected but since I am already on antibiotics that it should get better. We then returned to the dr. on Thursday and I saw my dr. She cleaned it out again and said it looked really good! She thought we'd have it all healed up in the next two weeks! Yippee! She also said I could get out and start walking around the neighborhood! Yahoo!! I am already back down to my pre-pregnancy weight, so I want to start walking to lose some more.

We hope everyone has a wonderful Easter! We thank God for the blessings he has brought into our lives every day!
