back to work...

26 April 2011
Well, last day before I go back to work. I don't enjoy the end of holidays melancholy, that dreaded feeling of knowing I have to get up, get showered and dressed, eat breakfast, breastfeed Monkey and then get to work on time. Then Husband will be texting if I'm not home right on the dot and as soon as I walk in the door my "other" job as a mum starts. Juggling work and baby is very, very tiring. I love her to bits, don't get me wrong - would love to be a SAHM instead! I do enjoy my job most days though, and the adult interaction is nice. Plus, lets face it, I'll fall backwards in my career if I had taken any more time off, AND we need the income to pay the mortgage, etc.

Monkey's cold seems to be slowly going. Meanwhile, she's been doing 2 huge poos a day - very unusual for her. So far I've been out each time (woohoo!) so husband has "won" those times.

Very much looking forward to curling up on the couch this Friday and watching the Royal wedding. Poor Kate though - how hard it must be to know millions will be watching on your wedding day.

Went to the Dr today as I'm still exhausted and have foot pain. Sending me for more blood tests. He said maybe the iron I'm taking is giving me the joint pain - blah! I do wonder if I should stop BFing and maybe my energy will return. It feels like it's perpetually midnight in my world and I could fall into bed for 8 hours sleep given half a chance, no matter what time of day it is. This is the 3rd lot of bloods since I had Monkey, so hopefully they can find some answers this time. I might even take the results to a naturopath if the doctor can't help. The foot pain is annoying, but not terrible. Makes me wonder if I did something to my feet during pregnancy and now it's causing the pain. Who knows?

Bed time for me, then. Have just given Monkey a feed (she woke up to do a poo) so hoping she sleeps a good chunk now.
