When you're pregnant you focus so hard on that due date that you forget about what comes on the other side of that finish line. My body has had a hard time adapting to the many things that do not seem to work quite right.
Luckily I have a baby that sleeps 22 hours a day and looks around contentedly the other two, a sister who took excellent care of my three girls while I was in the hospital, a ward that has kept us very well fed, a good friend down the street that I owe a million playdates to for taking in my girls so many times the last few days, a doctor who listens and helps when I tell him things are not going quite right, and a husband who helps all of the time, whether at 3:00 pm or 3:00 am.
It's been a long week, but I have been so blessed.

Amen! I was not prepared for how tough my recovery was with Maeve. Nursing was a nightmare and I had postpartum depression--it was all very brutal but I too felt enormously blessed. It's an emotional intense time but so tender too.
I am glad you are getting the help you need and hope you get back to "normal" soon, but probably not soon enough for you.
I think it gets harder each time and I've never had a c-section. Hang in there
I hope things become "quite right" for you soon!!!
