Baby boy is healthy! He is now 9.05 lbs and 22 inches. His circumcision healed perfectly (o-he's gonna hate me for broadcasting that shit one day) but he has blood vessels that won't close in his belly button-so we have to use a topical steriod on that. He's two weeks old today!

I am still nauseated all the time-but I work thru it. I have this bruise that doesn't hurt-but wont go away. headaches, cramps, chills, and night sweats-not to mention exaustion and engorgement-but hey-still worth it.
Trin is practically potty trained. She hasn't had an accident in days and only wears diapers at night-and even then does not pee in them. We started when she was 18 months and here we are 11 months later-it took a while but we did it. Thank you to titi jenny for her first potty seat-so many months ago.

And I just have to share that I pumped a new personal best last night-13 ounces!!!!!! Dayum!!!!!! I know, I know-hold your applause.
lol.

queasiness

I'm in bad shape. Which puts me in an even worse mood. I am suffering from postpartum nausea. It's extremely rare. And not much is known about it-what causes it-or how to treat it. It pretty much is exclusive to breast-feeding mothers.
Most women affected by it, like me, experienced little or no "morning" sickness during the pregnancy.
I feel horrible. I'm starving-but I don't want to eat. I've tried emetrol, sea-bands, ginger......
I have a horrible headache from the dehydration-and my milk supply is suffering severely. I don't know what to do.
So if I don't return your phone calls or texts-please understand why. I'm just not up to anything right now. I'm not sleeping-cuz of the whole newborn(and active toddler) thing-and now I'm not really eating either. I'm just in a fucked up place.

quickie update

Well-I don't have time to type out the full birth story right now-but fashizzle I will have to share all the gory details at some point in the future.
My son, Verlander Thompkins III was born Wednesday, February 7, 2007 at 2:39 am. He weighed 9.2 lbs and was 21.5 inches long. I had a vaginal delivery with a walking epidural. And if they hadn't put him on my belly and let me look at him before the cord that connected us was even cut-I would be so sure that he was mixed up with another baby. Light brown hair, extremely fair skin, and greeney/bluey eyes.....he's the spitting image of his father. He is absolutely gorgeous and was worth every agonzing second of the wait.
