Make sense of that. I feel about the worst I've felt in years physically, but life just couldn't get much better. I shouldn't have the flu because I did get my flu shot to keep from getting very sick with baby, but it feels pretty close to that. Can't sleep, can't breathe, neck hurts, head hurts, can't swallow most of the time. But I can eat...so that's a GREAT thing!!
On another note...
I can't wait for Wes and I to go to the OB on Friday. He's going to be such a great daddy. So far, he hasn't missed a doctor's appointment, which I love. Not nly does it give me extra support, our OB is really including him in everything that is going on since he's showing his face each time. That is really important to me! With so many things about babies being looked at as a mom's thing or a mom's decision, I want him to feel included. I feel like too many things get made out to be mom's choice and not a family choice, and that's why I think a lot of dad's disconnect themselves. It's easier than feeling like they aren't included. That's where part of my decision has come in about baby's feeding. I want our baby to have all the benefits of breastfeeding, but I think very often it leaves dads out. That's why after building my milk supply, I plan to exclusively pump. Another reason for this choice is to avoid the complications of weaning. I think a lot of bfing moms continue to bf because it is easier than weaning. I think children start to think of breasts as "theirs" not mom's. And, personally, I don't like that.
So here's to another choice I'll probably have to fight some people in my life to accept, I'm proud of my choice!!
