it's been less than a week and i'm ready to start weaning myself from high potent pain medicine that was prescribed to me to help me deal with recovery from the c-section surgery from Monday. i think it is affecting the baby b/c she is sleeping like 22-23 hours out of the day. She is like the baby Koala who i learned rarely have those same sleeping patterns.
and me too. i cannot keep my eyes open to save my life. unfortunately, i have to do some work tonight for some clients but can't seem to focus, let alone keep alert for longer than 10 seconds. it doesn't help that i do NOT want to do this work AT ALL!
i should be bonding with baby, catching up on sleep, and wrapping up my projects from pre-labor.
something about computer screens (including my Palm Treo screen) also hypnotize me and like a narcoleptic, I doze off easy, but then maybe, that is again the effect of the medicine taking its toll on my body.
i am stubborn and i want to stay awake and alert, but i should be resting, but i resist.
it doesn't help that the 10-12 times a day I nurse the baby is draining 500 energy calories out of me that I don't really have. I am STARVING all the time, but cannot eat more than a small portion of food before getting full.
i have been avoiding weighing myself b/c the doctor told me to not even think about exercising or changing my diet to begin the process of getting back to my pre-preggers size for TWO WEEKS. i know that stepping on a scale will be a triggering point for me to start getting crazy.
i forget how difficult c-section recovery can be, though i'm not sure this one is more difficult than the last two.
THANK GOD I HAVE THAT LITTLE ANGEL to keep me company. We love to curl up together and doze off in bed together.
