No, I was not holding Evelyn. Thank goodness. The thought of falling down the stairs with her gives me nightmares.
Because of the heavy duty pain meds I'm on I cannot nurse her right now. I'm super sad about it.
I am not allowed to lift anything, so I can't pick Evie up at all. This made me cry.
So, my mom picks her up and hands her to me and I get to feed her bottles. It's not as good, but it's something. This will be my life for about a month.
I miss my baby girl.
I'm sorry. That sucks.
ReplyDeleteI actually did fall down the stairs at my parent's house holding Gideon when he was around 4 months old. It was only the last few stairs, but it scared the crap out of me, and he screamed for like 5 minutes. Neither one of us were really hurt, but we were both bawling. Me because I had fallen down the stairs while holding my baby, and Gideon because it scared him.
I hope you feel better soon!
Oh Britany I wish so bad I could help out!! We'll be praying for you. I'm so glad your mom is there, and your ward's helping out too.

ReplyDeleteSo sorry, that just sounds miserable. Wish we lived closer to you guys.
ReplyDeleteI remember when I had to have my appendix out while pregnant with Dave, the two things that made me cry were worrying about unborn Dave in there, and when I was recuperating, having to have other people babysit Ariel a lot. I felt terrible about it, like my rebellious body was preventing me from taking care of my two littlest ones. It did pass. I got better in time and everyone was ok. And I learned a lot in those weeks about patience and endurance. Hang in there, and let yourself be taken care of so that you can heal faster. Love you.
