I need to vent!

I haven't posted on here in forever! It's been a long month!! I had DS on 4/18 via emergency c section. He was 5 weeks early, and spent 18 days in the NICU. I hemmoraghed right after birth, and didn't get to see him for over 24 hours. He had blood in his stool a week after he was Abe to start eating, and I has to go dairy and soy free to EBF. Splitting the time between the NICU and being home with DD was exhausting, but we survived. we finally were starting to get used to being a family of 4 at home when I ended up in the ER Sunday night. I had my gall bladder removed Tuesday night, and I thought all was better. Well, I'm back here in the hospital with the same pain as before having the gall bladder removed. I'm so exhausted both physically and emotionally. I want to be home with my kids. I want to go back to just being mom. I miss the kids, and the fact that I've missed so much of DS short life so far. Im angry that while DD has been very well taken care of during this time that she has no sense of normalcy right now. I just want my life back. I know worse things can happen, but it's almost like a bad mean joke. Sorry this is so long and has no paragraphs, but I needed to just let it out. Thanks ladies.

    Aww, I am so sorry! You have definitely had a rough couple of months! Hopefully this will be the last time you (or anyone in your family!) will be in the hospital for a LOOOONGG time! All I can say is to hang in there and I will send some prayers and hugs your way. I know it's hard, but just try to rest and take care of yourself while you can so that way you heal/recover the best you can and then you can go home healthy and ready to take care of your kids! Good luck and hang in there!

    Ugh, that sounds rough:(  Feel free to vent, you have good reason to.  I always try to think that things could be worse but the current situation still sucks and a good vent usually helps a bit.  Hope things get better and please take it easy if you can!  This too shall pass...

    What a stressful few weeks! Vent away. The no dairy/soy thing stinks. My first had that, and it was so bad, he reacted from my breast milk if I ate anything he was sensitive to. I feel for you. And having surgery so soon after the c section must have been awful. I hope they figure out what's causing you pain, and get you o a point where you can all have some normalcy again.
