Now I know why everyone tells me to "sleep when your baby sleeps"... We are all so sleep deprived here! Nathan's schedule is so erratic. For a week or so there he seemed to have somewhat of a schedule but not anymore. I was up from 2am to 5am with him this morning. He doesn't cry, he just fusses. My husband took over then and brought him downstairs to keep him entertained for a while. He finally fell back to sleep around 8am this morning until 11am and we managed to sleep while he did. It's amazing what even 3 hours of sleep can do. I felt refreshed :) He just fell asleep again a little bit ago but instead of sleeping I'm up doing laundry and having some "me time". Yes, I will probably regret not using this time to nap too but I still have a house to take care of which brings me to my next paragraph...
My lochia doesn't seem to be slowing down. I'm afraid that I'm over doing things and not delegating household chores as often as I should. I'll call my doctor and make an appointment for next week about it.
Also I've got back pain which I've had even before being pregnant so I'm not terribly concerned about it other than it hurts. I'm taking Naproxen still for my carpal tunnel and it seems to help with my back. I may make an appointment with a chiropractor while we still have our health insurance. As far as the carpal tunnel goes, I've had some hand pain but nothing too bad but my fingers are still numb. I've had to keep my nails short because I started noticing small scratches on Nathan's legs from me changing him and not being able to feel where my fingers are. I have no worries about holding him, it's mainly small things that I can't grip like pens and silverware.
The moving company is coming out on Monday to get an idea of how much stuff they have to move.
I hope everyone is well. Once we hear from our new landlords about a move-in date then I'll send out address changes and birth announcements with pictures. Hopefully that'll be soon!
More later :)
Oh gosh I feel for ya!! I am so lucky that V is still on a schedule at night. My step sister had carpal tunnel while pregnant. I remember her crying because she couldn't pump gas because she literally couldn't pick up the pump.
ReplyDeleteI know, someone HAS to take care of the house too. It is all so exhausting!! Maybe you can nap later.
