Clearing Our First Hurtle
Doesn't it figure? Four days after giving birth and I catch a cold! This isn't fair. Last night was miserable. If Adam hadn't been here I don't know what I would have done. I couldn't breath, my back was killing me, I could hardly move without cringing. We hooked up the baby monitor so that Adam could come in and take care of Julia if she woke up during the night so I wouldn't have to be up with her while I was sick. It was the first night in the past 4 days I got some half way decent sleep. Today I feel a little better. I can breath at least. My back still hurts but not quite as bad as it did yesterday and I was actually able to get a little cleaning and organizing done.
We're working our way through Julia's first real bump in the road, mine too. She decided the other day she didn't want to suckle from my breast anymore and when we tried to get her to eat she just whaled and screamed and refused to eat. However, if I pump the milk into a bottle she will take it that way so I can't complain too much. At least she is getting some breast milk, even if it isn't as often as I'd like. Once I start feeling a bit better I should be able to pump more often.
Adam put Julia's bouncer together this afternoon and she's sound asleep in it now. She's so adorable, lol. I took some pictures which I'll have to post in a little bit.
