Massage

I had my first massage since Carly was born. It was great! I also had one of my first expiriences leaving Carly with someone (Holly) while also leaving the compound long enough for her to need a bottle. On one hand it was great, and freeing, but on the other hand it felt strange to leave her behind. Holly was good to me though and sent me a few pictures of Carly playing happily which helped.

The massage was great and much needed. It was firmer than I usually like but I figured my body probably needed the work out after pregnancy, labor and carrying around a nice sized baby for 4 weeks. Next time I think I'll ask for someone who isn't trying to leave bruises though.

The whole time I was getting massaged I couldn't help but think about how both my boobs hurt. Yep. And I'm not sure why. They are empty, as far as I can tell, and they hurt. I haven't been very good about taking my antibiotics and I'm scared that now I have the beginnings of mastitis in both sides. Ugh. Normally I'm the champion pill taker but as I'm sure you know (or can at least imagine) my life is a bit disorganized at the moment. My days and nights are confused and I'm just not in a routine. I also have a raging head ache that I can't seem to control with tylenol, not even the super Tylenol 3 they gave me at the hospital. What's that about? Dehydration? I've had lots of water.
