Sorry for the delay...

in the updating. As some of you already know the last week and a half have been less then fun. Last Wednesday I had to go back to the ED because I started running a 101.5 fever and I had a hard bump on the left side of my c-section incision. I called my OB and he told me to get right over to the ED to be looked at. We got there and they took me right back his called and told them I was on my way. The doctor there told me that he wanted to open it up and let it drain out. They ended up giving me a 4 inch deep hole over my left hip to get it all out. I had to have a cat scan to make sure that the infection hadn't gotten any where else, thankfully it didn't. They were thinking about keeping me but as the tests kept coming back good they said I could go home. The next morning I got a call from my OB office and told me that they were going to try to set up home health to come out and help train Chris to change my dressing. I have to have it re-packed every other night. Long story short they weren't able to get someone out here so Chris and I had to go back to the ED over the weekend to get it changed. When I saw my OB on Monday he gave a script for the packing and I told him that I would train Chris myself how to do it b/c we weren't going back to the ED again. He also said that I could take a real shower and leave the house!! The ED had me pretty much on house arrest until I saw him. Since then Chris is thankful that I can shower again and has been doing the dressing changes and I am feeling much better. Everyone is doing much better. Chris is back to work this week. We go back to see my OB in another week to check in. Until Chris will continue to play nurse... and for those who know Chris know that the jokes just keep coming... Although there is no joking while he is doing the packing he gets all sweaty and upset. It is really sweet, not that he is upset but that he is that afraid to hurt me.

On a happy note Charlotte has gained wt! She is up to 8 lbs 3 oz!! Both girls have cleared up their colds.. thank goodness! Lily is a great big sister, there has been a little regression, she doesn't think she can walk anymore LOL!! I think on the whole though she is doing great with the new little being in the house. She loves to try to feed her and whenever she finds a diaper she try's to put it on her baby dolls. Tonight she helped me make bottles... yes I said bottles (I haven't been able to breast feed b/c of all of the meds I have been on. I am afraid that I might poison her. We are going to try again once I am sure everything is gone until then it is formula. Please know that this is a very sensitive subject for me as I REALLY wanted to breast feed. I will let it known if and when we are able to breast feed again. I just ask that no one bring it up to me.) Lily also helped with Charlotte's bath time she loves to help lotion her and putting on her diaper. She can't quite say Charlotte so she calls her CharDette!! It is so sweet to watch them together! What is even better is when they both want to snuggle with Momma... nothing better in the world!
