This has been such a long day, and I am definitely one tired mama.  It’s definitely going to take me time to adjust to a new baby in the house while dealing with my own sickness at the same time.  I really hope my preeclampsia and blood pressure start to settle out soon because I don’t know how long I can run like this.  I’m not on bed rest, but I’m not really allowed to do much.  No housework, no showering without anyone else in the room, no caring for the baby alone right now, etc. 

I’m trying to make my own no visitors policy right now because not only do I want to prevent my preemie child from picking up everyone’s germs, but I just can’t deal with people right now either.  No one seems to understand that, though.  The people who keep saying “you don’t need people coming over until you’re both well” are the same people who can’t seem to stay away.  You don’t know how many times I’ve chased people out of our house today even after explaining to them I was too tired for them to come over in the first place.  Elliana’s first trip to the pediatrician this morning completely wore me out, and I’m having a hard time getting people to understand that yes we’re home from the hospital but I’m STILL SICK and need time to recover!

At least Hubby’s friends have enough common sense and respect to stay away right now.  Hubby’s having withdrawals from his best friend, and I think it’s cute.  They’ve been chatting on the phone every night about everything from needing hair cuts to his best friend’s work with rv financing, and now they’re discussing Daddy stuff and housework.  Hubby has so much on him right now, and he’s going above and beyond when it comes to picking up my slack.

I know we’ll have it all in order soon, and we just need to get through these first few weeks.  Honestly I’m just happy I actually had the time between dirty diapers and breastfeeding to actually blog for a minute.
