6 weeks postpartum?

Today is my six weeks postpartum appointment... except that it's only been 5 weeks. hmm... I didn't realize that until yesterday. When my doctor's office made me the appointment 5 weeks ago, I assumed that was 6 weeks later. But yesterday I realized it's only 5 weeks. Hmmm... Oh well. Not my fault. hopefully the doc will still give me the green light on returning to excercise and driving because I gotta tell you, I feel so dependent these days. It's be nice to regain some independence.

I have to say that cutting Toni's nails was... well IS quite a workout. At first I left them alone because they are so soft and thin and tips seemed to still be attached to the skin. I definitely didn't want to use a nail cutter and risk clipping her fingertip and the nail was too thin for a nail file. So I put mitts on... except that the mitts are too big for her tiny hands. They kept coming off. Finally around the second week I had to cut her nails because she was scratching up her face. I waited until she was asleep to do it. Let me tell you, I SUCK at doing so. I was able to cut her nails, but not so great. I tried filing them first, but her nails are still too thin to soften the edges. That or I just really suck at doing so. I'm getting better, though. That or her nails are just getting easier to cut. But I do have to trim them fairly often because they grow like crazy! But atleast the scratches on her face aren't as bad. My poor thing. It's cute that she doesn't have complete control over her hands and arms yet so when they move around like they have a mind of their own it's cute. But then again, the other day she look like she was trying to gauge her eyes out and ended up poking herself in the eye. She cried, my poor thing.

Yesterday was Junior's first father's day! We didn't get him anything... YET! Well I couldn't really go anywhere. But we will definitely get him a late gift. We did celebrate with my brothers and their families with a BBQ. It was cool and my sis in law took a great picture with my brothers, Junior and all the kids. Awww... I have to post that pic up once she sends it to me.
