Back To Basics

It’s been a week after my c-section, and I’m really trying my best to take it easy, but it’s driving me crazy. I like to stay busy around the house, and this not being able to lift more than 10 pounds is getting tricky… I’m limiting my laundry washing to just 1 load a day, and usually in the evening the kiddos will let me fold at least that 1 load of laundry.

The MOPS moms have been really great to my family, and have supplied a ton of homemade meals and sweet treats too. I might never cook again. We are really appreciative of all of the meals, and I’ve enjoyed the break from the kitchen.

I’ve taken the kiddos out a few times to Walgreens and Dollar General too. It is still a bit of a mess getting everyone into the car, and into the store, but I’m sure we’ll get it all worked out sooner than later.

Mornings are hectic around here. There is always a mad dash to get everyone bundled up, and out the door, so Thade can be at school on time. By the time we are home though, Agnes is tired, so she chills out for most of the morning. Dylan and I catch up on dishes and cleaning while she naps. We are falling into a good routine, and if I could just get a little more sleep in there, I’d be all set.

  1. I kind of know how you feel. No bending over here, no lifting more than 5 pounds, no stooping and the packing is driving me crazy (it makes me so light headed). I will be glad to get rid of it tomorrow and feel a little more like myself!

    Sounds like you’ve got the routine down. How is everything else going with Agnes’ well baby visits and such. I’ve been praying for all! It’s also nice to have some help in the kitchen! Blessings and hugs!!

  2. Hi Nicole,You sound like you are staying busy and happy, and that’s what counts.
    Tell Dylan and Thade that I am very impressed with them, they are so nice to help their mommy. Agnes is a lucky girl to have 2 big brothers. I hope that you get some quality sleeping time soon.
    Hugs, Mimi
