My three-week post-partum visit was today, and our wonderful midwife Judith gave me a clean bill of health!

I am still supposed to keep an eye on things and not push myself excessively, but anything I feel comfortable doing, I can do.

My incision is mostly healed, and the angry red scar will fade to silvery within a year. And The King is latching on well and not causing pain or  doing any damage when eating. (With one exception, yesterday, when eating was delayed for half an hour or so because we were out. He left an angry red mark of his wrath. But since it was just the one time, no one is too worried about it.)

In Other News….

The King is master of a game that we call "The ‘Psych’ Game." How it works is that any time anyone expects you to do something, don’t do it. Or not to do something, then do it.

For example, if you appear to be done eating, say by not swallowing or moving your mouth for more than a minute, as soon as mommy tries to move you, start sucking. Or if you’ve just had a giant poop and are having your diaper changed, poop again within 30 seconds of the diaper being closed, or better yet, the outfit being completely re-snapped.

He’s got mad skillz, my boy. But he’s cute, so we let him get away with it.

Here he is relaxing with Aunt Anna

And waving his rock-n-roll wave, while wearing the most adorable Winnie The Pooh outfit ever.

And my personal favorite…

Fresh from the bath, and all wrapped up in his ducky-head towel, looking at Aunt Anna.

Fruit & Veg Count, 3/2: There were fresh mushrooms on my pizza….
