ups and downs
Feb. 28th, 2008 11:31 amI have a little time while Robin is napping and Brian is cleaning up since my Mom shouold be here any minute. (I don't know why he's cleaning, his choices are kind of making me nuts today but oh well).
Things are going great. I mean, there are some problems but they're all the typical problems. So by all accounts things are going great. I'm having a lot of emo roller coaster issues - I hope it goes away fast. My midwife says with the milk comes the tears and that I should start feeling a little more even today or tomorrow now that the hormones have transitioned. I'm nervous about baby blues/ppd. My stupid placenta is still in the freezer because we keep forgetting to give it to Monica. I need my friggin' placenta pills!! Afternoon/evening is my low time and I just cry even when Robin is nursing great and things are going awesome. It feels very hormonal, very adolescent almost, so I'm hoping it IS the 'mones and not something bigger. Of course I understand the irony of being sad that I might be sad.
It would be great if all the Moms on my f-list could reply here and talk about what their early days were like so I can feel more normal and less panicky.
Robin is mostly a dream. She's settled down a lot and is generally pretty easy to care for. She does have a few times a day where she gets really mad that she can't latch on really easily and works herself up into a frenzy and that is really frustrating since what she wants is literally in her mouth and she is crying. But we always get it to work eventually.
OK, gotta go.
