Hi Everyone. I find it very difficult to get all that I want done accomplished. DH is sweet, but we both seem to tire at the exact same time, and then he's useless. Emma passed all her tests yesterday and today. We moved her into our room at 2:30am this morning. She's been nursing very well, which helped her transition off her IV easily. Unfortunately, my milk already came in. I've got milk engorged breasts already. Ouch!!! We were discharged after breakfast and came home. Emma napped while I expressed milk from my achy boobs and acclimated. Soooo much milk. I already have a little supply in my freezer. Wow. My sister's family came over and my parents brought Cam back. After the parade, just when I needed sleep, DH and Cam both fell asleep on either side of me. I woke up to them passed out and Emma needing me. Such is my life now. The boys mean well, but can't deal with Emma like I can, so I'm the most sleep deprived one awake nursing and changing the needy little one. Sigh. I knew this would happen. I'm not supposed to overdo it, but I just want to sleep. If I can't, I want to cook and do chores. And I'm chained to a newborn. So annoying. Anyway, just a little post-partum angst. My family needs me more than ever. Fortunately, I'm much more capable after a speedy delivery. I can already tell I don't require as much healing. God knows what he's doing. It just seems unfair. Love love love our little girl. She's worth it. I just know I'm going to be on edge from exhaustion and hormones. Gotta get through it.
