I am coming to the conclusion that I am not taking good care of myself as I should. I am very tired and can't relax. I am suppose to be taking it easy trying to recover from giving birth. I also get the added stress of not being able to have Sophia home. Instead I am cleaning the house running around etc.. you get the point. I am running myself ragged and I am about to fall over in complete exhaustion. I went up to see Sophia today as I do every day. It was the most relaxed I can get these days. I got to hold her for 2 1/2 hours. She just slept on my chest and we were both content. I was sad to have to leave her. I am hoping I don't have to continue to have that feeling for too long. My hope would be to be able to take her home in the next 2-3 weeks. Until then I will continue to go to the hospital every day to see her. She is small but a joy.
I am having a time pumping for milk. It hurts pretty good. It is getting less painful every time. I had pretty good luck today for milk and I hope it helps Sophia grow strong and healthy faster. Besides that I had dinner with the folks and ran some errands. I am waiting to do my last pump for the night and then I am hitting the hay. Can't wait to see Sophia tomorrow.

hey diana,
ReplyDeletekeep going, girlie. like you said, try to take it easy, you went through a lot. it's much easier to rest when you have to nurse a baby every two hours. maybe you can make a point to relax when you are pumping. read a book or something. i can't imagine how hard that would be. but like you said, it is one of the best things you can do for her health-wise. it is so worth the sacrifice. thinking of you...
