Blog to Another Baby

Same song, second verse. My second pregnancy resulted in a boy. I still need somewhere to write, and this blog is for thoughts, feelings, and observations regarding DS2.

We need help.

DH and I are both so exhausted that we can barely function. We overslept this morning. I was aware of the time, but DH wasn't and was very upset when I pointed out to him how late it was. I told him not to worry about me and DS, but he still got the diapers ready and packed my pump bag since those are things that he can do quickly to help me in the morning. He was probably about 15 minutes late to work. I was about an hour and a half late because I'm supposed to be there at 8 (not 8:30 like him), and I left after him and stopped to drop DS off at day care and stopped at McDonald's for breakfast.

I didn't sleep well again last night because DS semi-wakes up wanting to nurse, but there is not much there so he is very fitfull. When I try to get out of bed to get a bottle he starts to cry, so the past couple of nights, instead of waking DH to comfort DS while I get the bottle, I have been taking DS into the kitchen with me. That's very tiring for me, plus it wakes him up more, but it's one of the few things I can do to help DH get a decent night's sleep.

My head really hurts today, too. Part of it is not eating well, because nothing sounds good; and part of it is not sleeping well. I really do like having DS in bed with us when he needs to nurse, but I relax much better when he is not in bed with us. Something needs to change, but my fuzzy pregnant brain can't come up with a good solution. That's another reason we need help: my brain just isn't working very well.
