No Worries: Day 11
Regarding the odd bleeding, I did end up talking to a nurse at the hospital last night and she agreed that I should call my doctor, but that it could wait until the morning. Yep, I consulted Dr. Google at around 11pm last night and per usual, Dr. Google had me whipped into a frenzy. I spoke to the doctor this morning and it seems that everything will be fine and that I will live, after all. I am not running a fever, I am not achy or chilly, I am not experiencing abdominal pain or any other pain that is unusual for 11 days post-partum. So, things seem to be good.
Last night was awesome - I nursed Anju at 11pm, read in bed for awhile and was asleep myself by midnight. She woke up at 3am and I was finally able to get a good latch while lying down with her. I slept while she ate and when she was done, I changed her diaper, then quickly got back to sleep. I was up all of 30 minutes, so I was able to wake up at 7:30 and easily fit in my shower before she woke up at 8am.
Speaking of showers, I used to always hear how new mothers wouldn’t have time to shower, blah blah. Um, that is one thing I refuse to sacrifice to the motherhood cause. I REFUSE. Even if I am in and out with a quickie 5 Minute Cursory Wipedown, I still get a shower in. If I don’t have a shower, that is a sure fire path to the doldrums for me. No thanks!
So, overall, I am actually feeling pretty good. The knowledge that a certain boy wizard is waiting for me at my local Borders makes me feel even better.

I’m with ya on the not sacrificing showers. I was always and I mean always able to fit in the shower. There were times that hubby couldn’t figure out how I did it (when he stayed home he would wait to shower until I got home) and I couldnt’ figure out why he couldnt’ since his showers are shorter than mine. Go figure.
Glad to hear that the BF is going so well! I can’t wait to get started on #2 so I can give BF another chance.

I’m another non-shower-sacrificer. I had zero problems with putting baby in bouncy seat, playpen, swing, or whatever I needed to in order to find 15 minutes to shower.

Glad the bleeding was normal.
As for showering, with the first 2 I wouldn’t do it unless hubby was home but this time around I will not sacrifice but I also have 2 fairly competent helpers to keep their eyes on lil bit.
