Illness, day whatever:

Throat still hurts. A lot. Moving carefully so head does not come off. Mr. E has now got it as well. So far Rocket seems to have escaped; at least he's not crying & no fever.

How nursing is going: Mr. E changed him, handed him to me for feeding, we listened to the trumpeting sounds from his butt, Mr. E took him back for another change, looked at me, & said "He's heavier than when I handed him to you."

Well. Good. He is palpably heavier than when he was born, anyway.

This morning Mr. E woke me up after 2 hours of sleep to hand me a wailing, hungry baby. As I crankily nursed the baby, lying on my side, feeling exactly like a sow, he leaned over and murmured in my ear, "In the paper bag in the fridge are the last really good strawberries of the year. I got them yesterday. Eat some before our son gets them all."

Takeaway: "50 Shades" doesn't say dick about how to provide real pain and pleasure.

Whoa, indeed a life of extremes.

May you soon feel better!
