The Magical Two Week Mark?

[Curlita]

So it has been two weeks since Conrad was born. Here's where I am:

• Hemorrhoids nearly gone, with one 'roid still making it's presence known
• Stitches not bothering me nearly as much
• Constipation letting up, since I'm adjusting to the iron supplements
• Energy level coming up a bit, although I still have the tendency to overdo it.
• Lochia letting up for the most part, although the last two days I've overdone it and the lochia has been heavier again.
• Post partum hormonal roller coaster still rolling... fewer tearful outbursts every day, but things are still a little rough.
• Latch issues pretty much resolved, but now we seem to have thrush. I need to either locate some GSE (store was out of it when hubby went out for some yesterday) or go to the doc and get some nystatin.
• Baby is eating on a more sane schedule and taking a paci to satisfy his constant need to suck.

So overall... I need to combat thrush and keep my activity level in check.

How is everyone else doing as you approach, hit or pass the two-week mark?

We hit 2 weeks yesterday. Stitches less painful, just slightly aggrevating. Nursing going well. Not much sleep and emotional rollercoaster just now slightly getting stable. Still a mess on a daily basis. Still bleeding a lot. ALl in all, not too bad, but a MUCH slower recovery than with my first.

2 1/2 weeks here.

Stitches, costipation, lochia all fine, never really been problematic.

Nursing fine, only had a few days of soreness, easily fixed with Lansinoh.

Having more teary outbursts actually, but still hardly any compared to DD (maybe 1/day this time).

Baby is starting to wake up more and be less content - eek!

Toddler is refusing to nap and is being a raging cranky mess from 2 pm on and on can go as long as 10:30 pm even with the no nap:

12 days here.

Stitches...never had any this time...yay!
constipation...ouch..working on it.
lochia....easing up a bit and no more golf ball sized clots....big big yay to that.
Moods....still rollercoaster and can cry at the drop of a hat(or Christmas commercial!
Nursing....going better then expected...milk is in....considering after I nurse all night I am still pumping 540ml app in the AM...Callie has a huge sucking urge we just have to work on quickly getting latched and not frustrated, her or me. Here is hoping we get some sleep soon, so that the house can become a little less dependent on the Televised babysitter of Barney and Dora....and I feel a little less like...:
