His newborn rash is normal and will apparently go away on its own. I think it looks like the poor child has pimples, but she assured me it's fine. His peeper is healing decently, as is my incision, and all of his reflexes work fine. He sleeps almost constantly, but the doc tells me that's totally normal.
Due to the slight jaundice, she told me to have him sunbathe in his diaper on nice days, which I did today. I read a little Percy Jackson to him and he slept soundly. I love my little boy, but all the sleeping just has me worried. I'm petrified of SIDS so I don't rest well when he's resting, especially if it's in the crib.
Bad mommy moment- I accidentally clipped some of his skin when clipping his nails for the first time. It didn't bleed much, but I feel absolutely horrible about it. I keep kissing his fingers and apologizing.
I find it increasingly difficult to get any work done unless it's after midnight and I'm already exhausted. Now that my mother has gone back home (she left today) we'll see if that changes, but either way I know it's just something I have to do. Little guy needs me, I need money, thus I need to work around his schedule to make money. Thank goodness hubby loves watching him and taking care of me. I TOTALLY lucked out in the husband department.
Oh, in case you were wondering, this is what my baby looks like:
I may be a bit biased, but I think he's just the cutest.
