My third visit to the ortho in six days confirms that something is indeed wrong, as I suspected. It’s kinda cool, actually, in a grisly sort of way. Apparently I’m rejecting an internal suture. Cool, huh? Except that now a little bit of infection is starting, so we’re nipping that in the bud.

I have a little green glass octopus that sits on my vanity, that my mom gave me years ago. This weekend, Zoe saw it for the first time.

A few tears this morning at drop-off, but these images posted today already:
