You know, I had forgotten how much I enjoy sleep until I stopped getting any. I love my new baby, but I really miss sleep. DH has been home, supposedly to help out, but I feel guilty asking him to help since he has been working from home the last week.
Tomorrow is my surgery, and I am having second thoughts. I was so lucky when I had new baby in that I felt wonderful afterward. No matter how well the surgery goes I am going to hurt after it. I am a wimp about pain. And DH has to go into work this week for meetings, so I will be home with baby without him. Dear old dad is coming to help out (and taking time off from hunting to do it, thank you), so I won't be totally alone.Still, I wish this whole thing could have been more convenient for everyone.
Anyway, that's all I got for today...

Believe me, having survived twins, and still dealing with a daughter with a sleep disorder three years later, I have great sympathy for anyone with sleep problems. There's a reason they use sleep depravation as an interrogation technique. Get sleep any time you can, get help from anyone you can, and hang in there.
e4,
Thanks so much for the good thoughts. i have so much respect for you and parents like you who have had to live with multiples or children with any kind of special need. I have always known that the fates gave me relatively easy children because I just don't have the strength to deal with anything more. I know my friend (2 special need children born 1yr apart) has told me over and over that you just do what you have to do to get through each day, but I think you have to be a special person to be able to handle it.
