They even cooked, did the dishes, laundry and cleaned up - with some supervision from dad. The rewards will come as your children grow and you will be blessed by the loving care your children will give you - remember they learnt all this loving care from a mom who stayed home and took care of them in the good days and the bad from the time they were a wee babe.

And I am blessed to have really awesome support from my mom close by. Logistically #2 isn't even possible at the moment but I fear spending another 5 months with uber-anxiety while trying to care for 2 children. And in-laws, oof, don't wanna go there.mzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18058633356374866613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566055197730422533.post-35291730610414485442009-08-24T14:33:32.358-05:002009-08-24T14:33:32.358-05:00RM, just remembering what I have to look forward t...RM, just remembering what I have to look forward to. :P<br /><br />Ewe, older ladies I've talked to also think it's insane that we're home the day after. They remember being cared for either at home or in the hospital for two weeks.<br /><br />Susan, you're already tougher than any of us.<br /><br />Marie, the physical recovery is not as difficult for me as it used to be, but I think part of it is just being acclimated to the trauma (I get pretty beat up, too, even this far into it). And of course nothing compares to a recovery from Boob Hell, where I recollect you also spent time.Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129136210164478753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566055197730422533.post-29857746409514156632009-08-24T13:10:54.725-05:002009-08-24T13:10:54.725-05:00Yup!

But, what I really needed was a PPD group!"<br /><br />I totally relate to what you've written, however, I've also had close friends (whom I believe would spill the beans to me and not put up a front about labor and delivery) who said that it honestly wasn't that bad... they didn't need dozens of stitches (I visited one friend in the hospital was sitting cross-legged!), and they didn't feel that tired! Are these extraordinary women, one of whom I am not? Or have they just gotten "lucky" and maybe this time won't be so bad for me, either?Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08479968112307646145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566055197730422533.post-49381983869085340022009-08-24T10:33:01.725-05:002009-08-24T10:33:01.725-05:00Can't wait! :)Can't wait! :)Susan Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04244777381841276144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566055197730422533.post-53248388881298097672009-08-24T09:50:34.159-05:002009-08-24T09:50:34.159-05:00This post is so true.

I didn't expect it to be so difficult because #2 didn't have health problems like #1 did. I was more mentally prepared and not surprised at the lack of offers to help with #3. The church ladies here all talk about when they had their babies they stayed in the hospital bed for 10 days and usually fainted when they got up then. I think there is something to the 10 days in the hospital although it would drive me crazy and the staying in bed is not healthy.Ewehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09049392222474704158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566055197730422533.post-46395846780245055112009-08-24T09:23:46.561-05:002009-08-24T09:23:46.561-05:00Feeling cheerful this morning, are we? ;PFeeling cheerful this morning, are we? ;PReb.
