recovery

Cute picture? Okay, I have way cuter things to talk about but I thought I would give an overview for everyone who has been asking about our recovery.
Turns out I got a horrible infection in my leg after a vein burst during delivery. I was laid up for over a week, limping about, until I got it looked at and the antibiotics kicked in. I can't say enough about all the help we had, with Travis home from work and his folks visiting (more on this in a different post). Also, my sister came for a few days and was a huge help.
After my leg was almost better I woke up with pink eye in both eyes and feeling like someone dumped a bunch of sand under my eyelids. My mom and sister are here now, helping, since I am still suppose to stay off my leg as much as possible.
I am not meaning to whine, because I have been able to stay positive throughout. I have felt so taken care of and blessed. Felix is doing great and is such an enjoyable baby (more on this later, also). Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.

I can't believe you got pink eye too! So sad for you! I saw that your mom was here, that I'm sure has been a big help! Get better and I will call you soon!

Holy schnikees!! I had no idea. Why is the postpartum recovery always filled with craziness just at the exact time period of your life your hormones can't handle it!!! I always have a hard time getting a grip on things after I give birth.

That Felix is ADORABLE!!! I love the picture you have of him on the side of your blog, it totally makes me smile. I am glad you have help and family, thats always nice. I hope your legs and eyes continue to heal. Can't wait to chat with you!

Ok, your picture looks like me everyday, except I don't have pink eye. I am sorry it has been so rough for you. I hope you are doing better.
