Tough day for this AP momma
I posted over on the EFF board so this is kind of a XP but not really. I found out today that I will for sure need another back surgery...the only thing is we aren't sure which one and how many.
But it's looking like it will be another low back fusion and because of the damage in my spine they told me I am not supposed to hold/pick-up Kate if it can in any way be avoided. I also am not supposed to wear her. 
And I'm looking at 3 months of VERY strict bed rest and because of that and the 3 horrific weeks following the surgery it would be best if I looked into weaning her. And...co-sleeping is going to be really tough if not impossible.
Nothing is set in stone yet except for the not wearing her/picking her up. The rest we are going to see what we can do and I have to have a lot of tests to figure out when and what surgery it will be.
Not a good day. For sure not what a babywearing, co-sleeping, extended bfing AP momma wants to hear.

Re: Tough day for this AP momma
I just got it.
My dh is taking the day off of work so I can decompress and he is going to get the house ready for our Halloween/Open House that we have been planning. He also said that I am free to cry and be as frustrated as I want tomorrow because I do not have to worry about being the PIC (Parent In Charge). 
How awful for you!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so sorry.
I'm so sorry! I hope your recovery goes well and you heal quickly
(((hugs))).
you definitely don't need what is already a tough time to become even tougher. i'm so sorry that the most likely answer to all your pain brings with it all of this stuff.
I want to cry for you - I know how terrible I'd feel if I had to quit BFing, etc.
Hopefully the surgery goes well & you recover quickly. Hugs girlie.
Aww, Im so sorry. I would be mourning all those losses too. Can you at least pump while your down? I mean, if you cant BF that would be the next best things, right?
So does this mean that DH will take on the babywearing?! That could pretty dang cute, if I do say so myself. I love when DH wears our DD, its adorable.
Lets hope that everything works out okay and your recovery is super duper fast!
Lucky for us dh has been wearing her from day one so this will be an easy transition.
I'm feeling better this morning. My API local group has really made me feel so much more comfortable. They are planning meals to be delivered and a Freezer Meal Party! My friend who moved 3 hours away is even coming in for it...so I am beyond touched.
aw, I'm sorry.
I love her pic in your sig.
