Mommy break
I intended to update yesterday but The Academy Awards cut into my morning nap time. So in the afternoon, when I usually use the computer, I had to sleep. I will say this though, it is a DREAM to have your husband "working" from home when you're recovering from childbirth and caring for a baby. Especially a husband who is more than willing to change diapers again and again and again. I love you Mike! Even if having you around means you're teasing me ALL THE TIME, it's worth it as long as you're the one dealing with the poopy machine.
Yesterday I decided to do away with the cloth binder. It's come to a point that, all though it's still hanging loose, wearing something tight around it is just as uncomfortable (or in a way moreso) as not wearing it. So yesterday and today, my flabby tummy Mimi is liberated from her confinement. I'll probably put on a binder again when I have to go out. Can't walk around very fast without it. But around the house, ok lang.
Also, the bleeding has significantly lessened. I practically didn't bleed at all yesterday. So for those who were scared by my last entry, and have decided to adopt na lang, it's not so bad naman pala. I was just getting impatient. But at least you're forewarned. There will be blood. But it won't be forever. ;)
I was just thinking, siguro if I didn't have househelp, and didn't have my mother-in-law living just beyond a wall, and Mike had a strict 9-5 job, I'd be going insane by now. My friend Meg, who had a child also just last year, said the baby blues will hit you around this time, 2 weeks into motherhood. I told her it's hard to get depressed with a husband who's constantly either trying to make you laugh, or trying to annoy you. It's also easier to feel ok with the whole When can I ever get out of this house??!?! feeling if you can get away from the baby for a few hours a day, bury yourself in the internet while she naps, and let the lola or the yaya take over minding the baby. Because after a couple of hours, you're already wondering why she hasn't cried out for you yet, is she ok, doesn't she miss me? And you're happy to be a mommy once again.
Remember this, internet. I'm counting on you to keep me company.
