Happy Memorial Day

Hi everyone, I hope you had a good weekend. We have had by the far the best weather of any Memorial weekend I can remember. We have had visitors pretty much constantly since we got home late Friday afternoon. At first it was great to have extra hands around to help, etc, but by yesterday afternoon, I was starting to lose it when more people showed up.  I had to escape and get a pedicure, where, by the way, the nail tech asked me how far along I was!  DUDE.  Not cool.  Not cool at all.  I have included a picture of me from today. Yes, unfortunately I still look rather pregnant.  I have lost 18 lbs so far though!

I have been feeling fairly decent; the soreness from the stitches seems to be getting a little better each day, so that is good.  Still bleeding, but I guess you'll have that. I think the majority of my discomfort now is from my pretty wicked hemorrhoids. There doesn't seem to be any good way to get them to go away quickly.    Hot baths alternating with ice and lots of Prep. H seems to be the best route!

Liam has been a very calm good baby thus far, although tonight he has been very fussy. Of course this is the first night no one is here with us, so he is testing us I think!  My mom was a huge, huge, help, and we feel pretty helpless without her! We shall see how the night goes tonight. We have been getting semi-decent sleep so far, but it has involved me sleeping with him on the couch for a portion of each night.  For some reason that seems like less of a risky habit to get into than having him in bed with us for some reason.  He likes his pacifier at night, but when it falls out, he starts wailing.  Hopefully we can start to get a routine down a bit!

He was sleeping peacefully in his crib today.

The Belly today!
