John slept in his room, which is right next door to the guest room. Here are some pictures of the finished nursery:
I have been feeling A LOT better every day. I have to admit I was skeptical about the second week after the birth being some sort of miracle week, but there have been huge improvements every day. Last night I slept flat on the bed on my side for the first time in two weeks; I can't begin to tell you how amazingly good that felt! Andy and I have also been getting out a bit, going to lunch, visiting my parents, etc., which has been really beneficial psychologically. I feel much more human!
I've lost 20 pounds, which I love. Still some to go, but I am still pretty swollen so I hope that a little bit more will melt off before I have to start working for it. :)
I had my two-week doctors appointment yesterday and it looks like everything is healing up nicely. It was also nice to hear the doctor say that I am right on track as far as recovery goes; it helps to hear a medical professional tell you that you're not just being a wuss! :)
Andy is going back to work on Monday, so my mom is going to help out if I need to go somewhere. I'm cleared to drive, but lifting John's carseat into the middle of the backseat of the truck might be a little more than I can handle. But then again, if next week is as good as this week, maybe I'll be all better!
John is doing great. Still eating like a champ, sleeping at least 3 hours at a stretch, and spending increasingly long periods of time awake after his feedings. I just love to sing to him and see his big blue eyes staring back at me! His cheeks are getting chubbier so I think we will find that he weighs a bit more at his next doctors appointment on Wednesday (his due date!)
