The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly


This post idea was blatantly stolen from another blog I read recently, but I can't remember which blog and I couldn't find it today.

The Good:
1. At my doctors appointment on Monday I was informed that I have lost 25 lbs in two and a half weeks. Giving birth took a load off!
2. Princess Wiggle Worm is finally taking her nap, its been a battle all day long :p
3. The dr. said I can now go walk around the mall if I feel up to it :) Hurray I will be reunited with my dear loves, clothes and sephora.
4. I received a $40 rewards gift certificate to Trade Secret. Me love hair products!

The Bad:
1. I look like I still need to lose some serious poundage.
2. Yesterday I decided to try not taking my pain prescription to see how things would go. Bad idea. Bad, bad idea. By the time Neil came home I was a wreck, everything hurt! That may be my last time trying to be all granola.
3. I can't find my Trade Secret gift certificate. I think I must have put it somewhere strange while I was still on the serious, cause drowsiness, pain meds.

The Ugly:
1. Princess Wiggle Worm's nails are growing and she successfully scratched her face up today. Note the redness under her eye which became apparent during our photo shoot.
2. The 6 1/2 inch scar on my abdomen, its all red and sore looking.
3. Right after I found a top that looked ok on, Princess Wiggle Worm spit up all over me, mondo amounts! Thanks kid.

oh the scratching. it's awful. why are their little nails SO SHARP? i hate that! i really hope you find your gift card. and if your pain meds are too strong, try extra strength tylenol or advil (if you're nursing ask your doctor, but if drowsiness-inducing pain meds are okay then i'm sure the other OTC kinds are). i love advil geltabs, they work for EVERYTHING. hope you feel better soon! i love that quilt in the picture, so cute!

I always took 600mg. of motrin after my c-sections. I love motrin. It WILL get better soon! Hang in there.

I laughed and laughed. English is definitely your forte. You should start your own Chronicles. Once, when Steven was taking care of Holly he cut her finger nails and accidentally clipped her finger! He felt soooooo badly about it. But she's lived to tell suffer much worse.
A regular nap will make life so much more manageable for both Princess Wiggle Worm and YOU! Kudos on that milestone.

"Laughed and laughed" in a good way, not at you but with you. You seem to be able to articulate your thoughts with such a fun sense of humor.

congrats on the weight loss! Told you it would melt off :)
And put socks on her hands so she doesnt scratch herself, that is what we did. It looks funny, but it keeps their face pretty.
