ok. what is w/ this. i have had strep before giving birth (about 2 wx prior), took 2 dift forms of antibiotix to knock that...then i gave birth and ever since then i've had a feeling of having the flu minus the fever. or maybe i have had a fever running all along and the motrin and percoset then motrin and then vicodin were making the temp not show up on thermometers? i don't know but this all over body ache from my head to my little piggy toes has got to end. i feel like i've been beaten up all over my body. and now, at 2 wx PP my OB won't give me any more narcotics, which is the only thing that took this discomfort away somewhat. ( nooooo i'm not having narcotic w/drawals.....
) i have a 3rd degree tear, and i'm very uncomfortable. i can now sit rather comfortably but i still have pain in my vagina...almost like i'm bruised inside there in the canal. 
why does that sound funny...canal! anyway......
is anyone else going thru this? i still get hot flashes where i'm sweating my arse off and i really do feel feverish yet stupid various forms of thermometers don't read it. i finally broke down and took a rectal temp w/ those beepity beep thermometers the hospital gives us and it was 100.7. the nurse at OB's said we read 1 degree higher than our babies so they won't consider that a temp. like HELLO!? something big could be going on here? unless my body is so darn sensitive its just still hurting from the whole birthing...it is a sensitive body, indeed so maybe all this is just who i am and how my body is and is what it is. it sucks though and MW and OB are telling me to take it even easier...i only get up for food or to watch tv in living room instead of in bed w/ megh and sheamas for change of pace (but not today or yesterday...) and yes, i've gone for a walk once which was probably too much when my vagina was hurting big time and i've taken megh to her ice skating lessons here at the resort and to swim class twice. had my mom take her today. anyway, so i've sloooooowed down. i just can't bear to have megh watch tv all day long and be bored stiff w/ mama laying in bed aching so badly and grumpy as hell. so i want to take her at least to some things every week...ok, so i've slowed down........ which is why i haven't been on here much...i feel like SH*T mamas. is this hormonal? can anyone explain this phenonmenon to me? my OB's office seems boggled. cuz no signs of infection...ie. no foul smelling lochia, no mastitis symptoms, not a lot of bleeding, no fever, no pains that are extreme. so WTF!? then WHY am i feeling this way...its a constant same feeling i've had since birthing and even before hand a little as i had that fatigue and icky feeling too. maybe i have some virus. but it doesn't really change as far as symptoms. this is odd. even my wrists ache. and it isn't from typing on here.
i'm not edemic now either...i have tiny ankles now. any ideas mamas? i do have my 2 wk OB appt tomorrow thank god but i feel like they won't do tests there to try and uncover what the heck is going on here. i could be wrong...this is so frustrating. and ok i'll whine a little...my mom had megh from 10 am til about 4pm today which was great for me to rest but i still feel like crap and my mom came in here and brought me some aleve to try instead (OB's suggestion to deviate from the ibuprofen), and she didn't even take out my 2 huge white trash bags full of stuff. it is frustrating as i feel she only does so much and no more. then again i think she has a cold so she probably isn't the happiest camper...then again...when is she. anyway...i'm going to let megh play her pbskids.org on here or something and go lay back down.
other than that, sheamas weighed in at 10 lbs even on sunday. yay!!! (was 10.7 at birth 2 wx ago...so by thursday he should have gained more oz. for his 2 wk pedi c/u). he is such a beautiful round well colored baby. not as fussy anymore either thank god.
love,
