So,,,,assuming that a lot of girls go through this.....It still sucks. It is amazing that the moment I get less sleep then 6 or 7 hours (like last night), the whole next day I feel like the world is going to cave in on me. Everything is so sad, and......I always want to cry. Over REALLY dumb things! I just feel like anything can set me off. Sleep is so essential I am finding, and really relieves the weight off my shoulders that follows no sleep.
Some things I have been told to look forward to after having the baby...
No Sleep
No Sleep
No Sleep
Having your hormones go absolutely insane (worse than pregnancy) the first two weeks after having the kid...
Milk Leaking through your shirt
Constipation unless you use stool softeners...Yummy!
Losing Your Nursing Pads in the Grocery Store (Haha, now THAT would be embarrassing!)
Blowouts all over the Car Seat (Have I ever told anyone poo totally grosses me out??!!)
Bleeding Through Your Pants
Painful Sex
Getting milk all over your husband during sex.
Cracked, Bleeding Nipples
Leakage of whatever is left inside of you for about 3 weeks...
Nursing?? Oh yes, that is ALL I do. Takes an hour and then 2 hours later...Ope time to latch on for more.....
So..basically as I hear all this I think....If I can't even go a day with a small amount of sleep without the world seeming as though it will cave in....What will I be like with all of those things, and no sleep day after day....I think my husband just might want to die at the end of all this....I should warn him, LOTS!! So all in all....I'm a little nervous about not getting any sleep. Ha....Oh dear....But He'll be worth it. Oh he's kicking right now...probably punching me telling me he sure as hell will be :) Oh,,,,now I'm really excited too...(and want to start crying). AAAAhhhh!! Oh dear...Ok, Bye!!
Ahahahahhaa!! I loved this post, because it is so candid, and TRUE!! You'll be fine.... You get used to it after awhile, and it doesn't last forever! It goes by faster than ya think! But breast feeding really does suck... Not my fav thing in the world!
ReplyDeleteI think you're not normal if you DON'T go a little crazy after having a baby. Ask me sometime about the time Evan refused to eat. But it doesn't last that long a
ReplyDeletend you never know. I liked breastfeeding. Baby does all the work to make you lose tons of weight while you watch TV.
Haha wow... so much to look forward to!
ReplyDeleteHaha, seriously!! :) I'm sure it will all be ok.
