Got my staples out yesterday, and I feel a lot better. I can move around so much more easily without that pulling sensation the staples cause. I still have some whelps above the incision, but even those feel better.
Travis is having lots of tummy trouble. Lots of gas, and night before last he had a lot of poopy diapers. He hasn't slept well the past couple of nights, which is rough.
Last night Emily wanted me to put her to bed, but I was nursing Travis. She got upset and told me that I never spend any time with her anymore, etc, and it broke my heart. It made me cry.
Of course, today she is fine, but I still feel like a lousy mommy.
Emotionally, I am up and down. Yesterday I was great, today I am I can't figure it out. Travis is still a pretty easy baby, even in light of the tummy trouble, but adding a second child to our family has really changed the dynamic, and it's going to take some time to get used to it.
So, that's it. I am physically feeling pretty good, but emotionally, it varies. I am not looking forward to Kyle going back to work on Monday. I want him here with us, but that's not realistic. I am afraid I will be a mess next week.

Honey you are not a baby mommy at all. I'm sure that as things settle down you will get into a great rhythm. It's only been a week and the beginning is so tough on everyone. 
) Try to get Emily to help out with Travis as much as she can...like bringing you some water or diapers or wipes...something to get her involved.
MIL wanted to go to church (just her and Kyle) and then to go look at a car she found, and I said no, that they could not do both. I don't know that she liked that, but I am not ready to be by myself with them both for a whole day yet.
