So, I went in to see the midwives early due to pain issues (instead of my 6 week postpartum check, Benjamin will be 5 weeks this Thursday...) and it's a good thing that I did. I saw them this morning and unfortunately it was bad news.
As I suspected I have not been healing properly and the midwife told me I needed to "lay on my side" in order for the tear to stay closed and heal.
(I'm keeping this as simple as possible so feel free to call or email me if you have questions) but basically for the rest of the week and the weekend I am on bedrest.
As you can imagine this poses a problem seeing as I have two other children to care for... but once again my sweet husband and my AMAZING parents are stepping in and doing the best they can, and we're hiring a babysitter for some coverage as well.
I'm depressed and it's definitely not how I intended to spend my Holy Week or Easter but, you gotta do what you gotta do. I'm going to attempt to make the most of this "rest" time I guess... it'll probably be the most rest I get for the next couple years. ha ha
I'd greatly appreciate your prayers for a speedy recovery!
Life is never dull! :)

The Meaning of Homemaker...
"I love the title 'home maker' because the home is our children's safe haven, shelter from the world. The home is where children receive their confidence, their spirit, their love for themselves and others. The home is where the family blossoms. What an honorable task we have as the 'maker' of such a sacred and beautiful place." - Kim V. Cooper

Aww I'm so sorry to hear that Lisa :( Life certainly is never dull! But Lord knows you could probably use the rest, and it will probably be a blessing in disguise for you in the long run. Our prayers are with you!
