i am feeling a bit more optimistic today.
i have enough milk pumped for a couple feedings. 2 bottles (the max i can figure she'd need, altho i'm hoping she'll just sleep the whole time) will NOT permanently put her off the boob, since that's all i plan on offering the kid once i'm home.
once they stop the bleeding & the pressure is off the giant wound, i'm guessing (hoping) i'll feel loads better. kind of like when you finally get the splinter out, or pop that giant blister... right?
i am not a wuss & am thinking N will pry stress out during the procedure more than i will. (the man is a soldier when it comes to blood & gore, unless it's mine, in which case he tends to freak.)
both my parents are coming over to watch the kids, so despite my totally unfounded, but very real, anxiety over leaving my week-old baby for a couple hours, i know all 3 goobers will be well cared for & spoiled as much as possible during that time.
i am very much looking forward to this all being over.
Praying for you today!!! I know your babies will be so well taken care of while your gone, its always harder on Mommy. Lots of prayers for you and your family today!
ReplyDeleteI have no experience with these things, but it sounds like once you're out of surgery you'll already be feeling better. Like you said - you've been in such pain already, that once they fix the oozy wound, not only will that ease the pain, but also the whole not being able to get around easily thing.
ReplyDeleteAlso - I am SO HAPPY you are having such an awesome breastfeeding experience this time around!!! I hope Em sleeps the whole time you're gone so you don't have to deal with any anxiety over bottlefeeding! Lots of fast healing vibes coming your way pretty momma!
