My back hurts. My entire body hurts. I'm constantly sleepy but can't sleep because I hurt too much. Yet my baby gets heavier and heavier everyday, racking my back more and more everyday.Last night I tried to be disciplined and went to bed at 9 - a miracle, since I'm a night owl. So I slept till about 12:30 and then only fell asleep again after 4:30!! 4:30!! Had to nurse Melissa at 7:30ish, of course. My entire plan of recharging my batteries went down the drain. I don't know what to do. I'm trying to strech myself more so I'll relax my muscles, and it has helped a bit. But I still feel like I'm broken.
So this post doesn't have any tips or anecdotes. It's just simply me letting you know my pain and why I might disappear from the blog for the time being.
ps: Melissa's still adorable. This is all her fault - she distracts me with her adorableness while I break myself.

I absolutely can relate to sleep deprivation and I love the photo.
I hope the pain is just tiredness and not a back out of whack:)
They can definitely wear you out, can't they?
PS You might want to check your feed from me...you might need to re follow..it's acting funny! I'm still here! www.reallyareyouserious.com
@ Susan - I'm SO glad someone relates to this! I know, it seems obvious, but I was wondering if I posted too much of a downer of a post :). But I guess we have to talk about the hard stuff too, don't we! And the back is getting better, thank you - got a little better sleep last night (though still not much).
@ Krystyn - yes they can! I never knew love could be so exhausting! :) And yup, got your feed!
DO you have a good baby carrier? They are a godsend. It is amazing the difference they make when you have a baby who wants to be held and you want to hold. Don't get one of the baby bjorn type pouches, a wrap, meitai or structured carrier like an ergo or patapum are worth it.
The conundrum: baby gets heavier, you are lifting more, and if you are like me you aren't losing any weight! Argh. I totally hear you on the sleep management plan; your body backfired on you! Just dropping by from LBS!
