I do notice the effects of prolonged bed rest test, though. My lower back is killing me and super weak, I'm having to be very conscious of trying to correct my upper body posture and I can use my abs again.
My sleep schedule is pretty crazy since I'm trying to establish a good milk supply for later on (and that's going pretty well, considering I'm a Preemie mom).
Most days I still want to save my energy to make the walk from the parking garage to the ISCU (on opposite sides of the hospital...) and to be able to stand for longer amounts of time so I can touch William. So when I'm at home, I'm trying to make myself chill, even though I have all these projects I want to get my hands on and I really enjoy having the energy to take care of myself more. Hurray for getting my own beverages (except this morning... I was already hooked up when I realized I was thirsty and asked Jeff to supply me, lol)!!
When I go back to my next postpartum check up, I will be treated as low risk, for which I'm grateful.
You're doing good! I know how long that walk is from the parking garage to the NICU....it's quite a walk. I'm glad you are getting your strength back and not on bedrest anymore. Every time I go to that hospital I think "wow, this hospital is huge! Why don't they put the babies near the parking garage, haha. it would be so much easier for the poor tired morhers! And us grannies and granpas"..haha! But we love to visit WilLiam and you and Jeff...continued prayers!
