How is Mom and Violet doing?

On Monday, April 2nd, I was informed that Violet had jaundice and the doctor made her get blood taken -- I bawled my eyes out while she screamed. She screamed so much she pooped right up her back. I was able to feed her and calm her down so that we could leave the building peacefully. She was also 7 lbs 8.5 oz which concerned the doctor. He said she was gaining weight, but slowly. (She was born 7 lbs 15 oz) ...my milk had just come in, so I really felt inadequate. On Wednesday we went back and were told that the jaundice level was normal, and she now weighed in at 7 lbs 13 oz, yay! Doctor told me to keep doing what I'm doing.


As for me, my PUPPPs returned with a fucking vengeance. Dominating my entire body with massive, itchy, red/purple hives. My c-section is also infected, and a little open. Wonderful. I'm taking antibiotics to help heal it, and Benadryl and cream to get rid of this rash. $ 59 dollars later... On top of that, when I was discharged from the hospital I had to buy fifty dollars worth of medication (Iron supplements, stool softeners, pain medication (Oxy) and anti-inflammatories) ...I stopped taking the stool softeners, as well as the Oxy. 

Anyway, today Violet spent her entire day fussing. She used my boob to soothe her and right now she's on my lap in and out of sleep. She needs her diaper changed but if I wake her to do that, it'll be hours before she's down again. What to do ...what to do... I need to change my pad and gauze but I can't. I'm stuck.

Oh yeah, I'm moving into Matthews house. We'll save money, it'll be more convenient, blah blah. I'm hardly thrilled but I am excited to get away from this drama-packed hell hole I currently reside in. Oh, and I'm quite excited to snuggle with my boyfriend every single night! (Providing miss Violet sleeps in her damn crib!)
