break on through
Almost three weeks and I’ve left the house only a handful of times. Spice is doing good, gaining weight well and such. Our pediatrician put it well; “medically speaking, she’s a very boring baby”.
Talked to a counselor today about the baby blues. She said I was very high functioning, and was a very mild case, which is fine by me. Anything to stay off of meds. I just need much more sleep and need to eat more. (I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight in less than two weeks.)
The spouse is exhausted, too. We’re considering hiring a postpartum doula to help us catch up on sleep and eating until we can get our feet back under us.
It’s strange, though. I don’t feel tired and yet I haven’t gotten more than one stretch of sleep longer than 4 hours in almost three weeks. Amazing what the mind can trick itself into…
