I am tired and I am afraid.
Afraid of what lies ahead, of how I will manage. I hope to manage with grace and dignity but I am afraid I will be overwhelmed and there will be a lot of yelling and crying and stuff that is the opposite of g & d. I take comfort in that sometimes it's ok to let people know that you're not ok and I remind myself that this too shall pass.
I have a cough now and Aditi is still on antibiotics for an ear infection and as is inevitable Ro thinks that he is falling sick too. We are not happy campers.
I'm going to sleep now, hopefully I'll feel better in the morning, finally called the doctors office and found out what medication I can take - I'm planning to take Aditi back to school tomorrow and maybe things will start feeling like they've turned around in a couple of days.
Send me hugs ok?

ReplyDeleteHey Nags - it's not so much the giving birth I'm worried about, although it's more being a mom of 2 that I am suddenly freaking out over - I know! I should have thought about that a bit earlier :)
Deletebig hug coming your way. feel better, hun.
ReplyDeleteThanks Shobha! I already do, a little bit today.
DeleteBog big big hugs x
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I haven't visited your blog in so long! It was SO nice having you all over for dinner. Dave and the kids commented that we need to do that again. Matt even said that after the baby is born, Emily can come over your house to help and he can be Aditi's big brother.
ReplyDeleteWe are raising 2 kids by yelling, laughing, carefully mastered dirty looks, hugging, and simply letting go. It's not perfect, but on any given day we're happy (for the most part). There are bad days but luckily they are outnumbered by the good days. Sending you a big strong hug and the promise of friendship and all the Girl Scout Cookies you desire. :)
darling Beks, you must have delivered the little lump by now?! :) anyway, a big hug - these are mildly crazy times for the whole family, but hey the priceless 'together' times ahead are so worth it.
ReplyDeletetake care!
Haven't been by your blog in ages. I am short of time but felt I had to comment on this... Been there With a second baby (who was breastfeeding at the time). Since that time, I have become a great believer in the healing powers of Sleep. Got a babysitter for two hours and Slept. There was no other way....it worked. File it away for later.
