We’ve made it through another day with a baby and with me in very tough recovery. I started having a sharp, stabbing pain on the left side of my vagina this evening… perhaps it is a stitch that has partly dissolved, leaving a pointy bit poking me. Seems likely, given the feeling and the length of time since getting them, ten and a half days. It really sucks.
However, I have mostly enjoyed our chance actually to discuss name ideas this evening. My brain has been clear enough at last for me to be with the baby and have thoughts beyond pain. We still don’t have a name set, but we are actually making progress now. And that feels good.
I’m hoping my husband and I bath will have dreams tonight that give us a clear answer on names for this little baby. We shall see!
God, grant us ease, please, through healing my body. Show us this baby’s names, that we may call her by them and make her fully ours and part of our family. Keep our family safe. Make us well, please. And heal my body fast as only you can do, please. In your name, we pray. Amen.
