Running on Fumes

Well, we are pretty much running on fumes around here although I am feeling better every day. I have been taking everyone's advice and resting as much as possible (not like there is much else I can do) and it really seems to be helping. I even have had a couple of bursts of energy which resulted in unloading and loading the dishwasher and doing several loads of laundry!

Jack is fabulous. Absolutely 100% perfect and more than I ever imagined he could be. We have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning and hopefully he will check out fine and we won't have to keep him on the light anymore. Then I can spend all day holding him! :) I am kind of dreading the appointment tomorrow (the last one took a lot out of me, physically and emotionally). I feel much better equipped for this appointment though than the last one and I am looking forward to hearing good news from the doc, so I'm thinking positive and I know it will be easier than the last one!

The cats are so upset it's almost funny (it would be if they didn't voice their anger by running into the room and jumping on Jack's stuff as soon as I take it out of the dryer, meowing endlessly, staring at Jack with huge eyes and fully dilated pupils, opening every single cabinet they can reach - even Dinah - and then letting them slam, etc.). I do feel a a little guilty as just last week they had full run of the house and could do whatever they wanted to and had free range of my lap for their daily naps. They will adjust and as Jack gets bigger I'm sure I will worry less.

Janga also came home today. Jack's sleeping so she hasn't met him yet but she's been running around the house and smelling everything like she's never been here before. We'll introduce them when Jack wakes up from his nap.

Sleep is number one for you to rest your back. I totally want to bring you soup. Eat well to keep up with your milk supply and drink a lot of water. :D
