Yesterday we had an appointment with Carmen at her house. It was from 5-7pm, but it actually lasted past 8pm. My Mom, Rob, Gabriel, and myself headed over to her place in the late afternoon. The meeting went well. We went over a lot of baby care things including infant massage and different exercises that can help stimulate brain development early on. We brought her two boxes of Godiva chocolates and a blue baby rubber duckie and my Mom tipped her over the amount that was due. She's amazing. If I ever know anyone who's pregnant around here, I will most definitely recommend her to them. I don't think I could have gotten through everything without her.

Other than that, we've been spending a lot of time around the house. Other than necessary trips out (like to my doctor, the pediatrician, and to Carmen) I'm pretty much housebound. My Mom and Rob are doing things like the grocery store and drug store runs. I'll be stuck around the house for awhile.

So, as if the pain and discomfort of my incision aren't enough I now have two other pains to worry about. My tailbone is killing me. It hurts so bad to sit and when I stand up just throbs. I found out the reason for this is twofold. One is because I'm always on it. Even in bed I need to be propped up (I can't sleep on my side, only on my back and I can't sleep flat, there's a wedge I need to sleep on) and around the house I sit a lot because it's still not super easy to walk and move around. The other reason is because of the back labor it's bruised on the inside from where Gabriel was hitting it when he was trying to get out for sixteen and a half hours. My other pain is my left ankle. I have no idea what I did, but I tweaked it something fierce. Rob got me an ankle brace when he was picking up my presciptions at the drug store and that's working nicely. Now if I could get the incision and my tailbone to stop hurting I'd be set.

My Mom is out here until Tuesday morning. Her limo is picking her up around 10am. I'm golden until then, but kind of freaking out about Tuesday from 10am on. Rob will be at work and she'll be on her way back home. I'll be here and have to take care of the baby on my own. Tonight and tomorrow I'm going to be taught how to hold him and walk with him and change his diaper on my own and all that stuff. I'm still worried. I have to take care of a little helpless baby all on my own while still recovering myself. Scary. Let's hope I don't fuck up too badly. *meeps*
