Three Weeks and Hanging On By A Thread

But, it is one of those super strong threads for sewing carpet and stuff, so it is OK.

I put that outfit on her at two weeks for the picture and had to take it off right away because it was way too small and the headband was squeezing her poor head.

So, I imagine transitioning from two kids to three kids would be easier if we hadn’t started preschool at exactly the same time, making us have two big things to adjust to. And of course, preschool drop off would be easier without a recent c-section. The drop off involves me carrying the baby, infant car seat, diaper bag, and the two year old at the same time. The pick up involves carrying all that and sometimes the four year old as well if he had a bad day. This is a load even for a person working at full capacity!

I also cannot use my laptop well, since my hip and leg issues came back so a chair is not working. However, the laptop sits on my incision if I use it on the couch, which is also uncomfortable. So, work is mess. The house is a mess. I am a mess. The kids are a mess. Oh, and we were all hit by some super charged virus that refuses to leave. It involves fevers, barfing, coughing, snot blowing, headaches, sore throats, earaches, and who knows what else. This past week has been BAD and I am slipping when it comes to emotional fortitude.  I need a few days alone with just the baby screaming at me instead of what seems like an army screaming at me. I really, really wish my husband had a few more days of vacation left for the year. I am drowning a bit here and everyone is crying due to being sick, and I just want to cry too most of the time.

  1. You can do this! Your place is full and it feels even more overwhelming when your hormones are still re-adjusting! Someone told me 3-6 weeks PP is the lowest your estrogen will be until menopause and everyone cries. It’s not just you. Remember to ask for help if someone can!
