Hi.

Sorry for the delay in the birth story. I seriously have been working on it. Here's my problem. And this is gross and embarrassing but since we are so close, I feel I can share... A couple days ago I broke out in a huge itchy rash on my belly. OK. Fine. Pulled up trusty WebMD, performed self-diagnosis, and started slathering on the Cortisone. Well, yesterday it started to spread. All. Over. My. Body. And did I mention how itchy it is? In between my fingers, in my armpits, behind my ears...what a nightmare. So Leo finally calls my OBGYN office for me and I talk to the doctor... Turns out she thinks I'm having an allergic reaction to my pain medication prescribed for my C-Section.  She then proceeds to instruct me to STOP TAKING SAID MEDICATION EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A HUGE OPEN WOUND ON MY ABDOMEN THROUGH WHICH AN EIGHT AND A HALF POUND BABY WAS PULLED OUT. Ok. No problem. Stop taking pain medication, and treat the allergic reaction with Benadryl.  So, I am already sleep deprived...hello, I have a 10 day old, and now I'm drugged on Benadryl. Let's all say it together: ZOMBIE. I still itch, by the way. And I'm hobbling around like a geriatric when 5 days ago I was practically swinging from the chandeliers.

I'm in a bad mood.
