Bad, bad day today.

Ugh. I feel completely awful today. I hurt my back some time earlier this week, and it's been getting worse and worse. There isn't much I can take for it, so I just have to suffer. I try to do as little lifting as you can do with an 8 month old, but that's nearly impossible. Getting up at night with him is excruciating on my back because he either needs to briefly be picked up, and placed back down. Or I still have to reach over the crib to pat him back to sleep. Both leave me practically in tears with my back.

 DS wanted to get up at 6 AM this morning, and I just couldn't do it. I had DH take him, and he got him to sleep again at 7 AM. I then had to drive my mother to work for 9 AM, and just felt totally miserable.

To my disbelief, DH took care of DS all morning until 12 PM today while I was bed ridden. He just came in asking for an hour to lay down cause he's exhausted. I couldn't say no, although I feel so terrible right now.

Poor DS... I plopped him in his highchair with some puffs, and threw in a Baby Einstein DVD. I just don't have any other choice right now. I physically cannot take care of him today. It's horrible.

I'm counting down until my mother is out of work so I can have her take DS for the night. I hope she doesn't have a late night tonight. Parenting shouldn't feel like torture, but unfortunately today it does...

 I love my kiddo. He's just more than I can handle today.

I'm out of things to say about the Zoloft today. It is what it is. It's clearly going to take awhile for me to adjust.

I dont know what else to say to you. I feel so bad for you but things can only get better. Try heat on your back. Also I pulled something in my upper neck when I was like 8 months pregnant and it lasted for weeks so finally they put me on tylenol 3 (which was safe) and it did help numb the pain

Earlier in this pregnancy, I was having a migraine for over 7 days straight for a full 24 hours. My family doctor refused to give me Tylenol 3. Every doctor is different. They won't give it to me! It's not like I was in my first trimester, either.

As much as I want that kind of pain relief, those specifically make me tired. I can't be drowsy from Zoloft and groggy from Tylenols on top of that!! Ah!! I'd be passed out somewhere.

 DS has been so great the last hour. I can't believe it. God is parenting my child today because I have been laying on the couch while he watches the TV and plays on the floor.

Remember when I was so mad over DS wanting nothing to do with me? As much as today sucks, I appreciate his independence now more than ever...

I have been laying in bed since 4 PM yesterday. Definitely feeling a little better with my back.

For some reason, me and DH had fevers last night. At 6:30 this morning I found him throwing up in the bathroom all night!! So awful. We're in bad shape!

AND.. my mother said DS slept from 11-7 without a peep!! He only does this at her house. And she always puts him down so late!!
