I smell like pine tar and afterbirth.

And I'm really so over it--is there much more to be said? :)

But the PUPPP is close to gone and the zoloft seems to have regulated my PPD. Cool. Plus, at least so far I've got a laid-back, colic-free little baby and have had my mom here helping me all week; things are ok.

I can't believe I've got an 11 day old son and haven't had a minute (or the mental space) to write about him yet. He's gorgeous though, golden skin and shimmering blond hair just like his sister. And as John noted the other morning, he's just so kind. He's really just patient and sweet. Don't get me wrong--I love my wild daughter to pieces, but a laid back kid this time around is just what the doctor ordered. Knock wood.

Yay for less itching and better moods! I'm so excited and happy for you guys! Can't wait to hear more about the birth! xoxo

You have the advantage of pine tar being a very seasonal scent - just add a sprinkling of cinnamon, and you'd practically be Mother Christmas.

Typical sarcasm aside, I'm glad to hear you're doing better, and hope things continue in that general direction.
