pain in my head.

I've had the same headache for about a week now. I've tried taking different things to get it to go away and it's still here. I'm just going to assume it's from lack of sleep.

Lance finished up the headache lady's house tonight. Well, he finished the inside anyway. He said she's going to have to wait on the outside. He's staying home for awhile. YAY!

I had a bad day today with the kids. Kailee was terrible. If Madelynn isn't eating, she's fussing. She finally went to sleep about 2 hours ago. I'm afraid to let her continue sleeping though because she may not sleep good tonight. *sigh*

I feel like I'm just dragging through life these days. By the time Lance gets home in the evenings, I'm ready to fall out. I haven't been very good company. I know you all keep saying it's going to get better but right now, I'm stressed.

Keep praying for me.

If you are having a different kind of headache, call the dr, you could have leaked spinal fluid and need to have a blood patch to make it go away...It can also be from anesthesia and you need to drink lots of water to flush all of it out of your system...Don't mess around with a different kind of headache, it could be something more serious than even the above, it could come from a clot from the surgery...Don't assume or second guess, all Dr Luhrs...

Although, it does get better...

It still ain't better UNTIL it gets better. :)

It's like laughing over a hard time....5 years after it happened. :)

I thought that I had it all down pat with the first child and thought adding a second would be a "piece of cake". Ha!!!!! The second child is a complete, whole different person...not an addition. Any time you might have carved out for yourself before, is now spent on another very complete person.

Your body has had a trauma (albeit a natural one), but still a time of bodily and emotional stress. Under normal circumstances, it is a difficult time of wild harmones, sleep deprivation and learning how to deal with a new baby. You also have RA (?) which makes things even more difficult.

Kailee is just acting out because she is learning the wonderful lesson that all children MUST learn. Ha! That the world does not revolve completely around them and they must share the universe with another sibling.

Pray, drink plenty of fluids, let Kailee visit the Grandma's. Go to church and let people hold the baby and Kailee, did I mention pray, grab little bits of rest while you can, eat right and PRAY.

God will always go with you through every difficulty...you just sometimes have to go THROUGH the difficulty...but it will worth it when you have two beautiful girls who love and help their momma!

Praying for ya!
