Todays Cuteness
I have been bathing with my almost five month old daughter everynight after our after dinner walk. Tonight she cried the whole way so I took the bus home. Anyway, she loves bath time esp sitting in front of the faucet and puttting her hand in the running water. When she gets tired my husband takes her out and dries her off and gets her ready for bed and the last chance bottle feed. Todays cuteness was, after she fell asleep on my husband he put her in her crib which is in our room. She woke up and was thrashing around, trying to eat her toes. But She wasn't crying so I didn't get up. Then she went quiet and I could see her peeping at me through the bars of the crib. We had a staring contest for awhile, then she fell asleep. So cute!
The last three nights have been hard to sleep. Mostly because of the heat. Tonight it cooled down and I feel normal for the first time in months. Not high or low just good. I have a session tomorrow and I want to ask to go off the seraquel. I missed a dose the other night and missed some sleep but I felt better than having taken it and sleeping 14 hours! I will have to be weaned off.
But they will want me to start on the Lithium. I am dreading that more than anything. Someone metioned to me how could they ( Dr's ) be sure I was Bi Polar when I was still so close to Post Partum and all the hormones are still settling? I start my Post Partum support group on Monday. Looking forward to it and I will ask this question.
