I admit it, I feel like crap this morning. Just drained. I know it is my own doing, you know. I’ve been staying up late for so long researching and waking up early because of the kids. Now that we have a diagnosis, there is SO much more to learn and research. The information is overwhelming.
I have been like a machine for the past 48 hours since the phone call. Now I feel like I’m going to crash…but I can’t. Though I think I will catch a nap (at 8 AM) with Hannah now that Big Boy E and Little Girl A are off to school, and I finally get back to a routine.
I’m going to have to call my eye doctor again today and reschedule for the THIRD time to get my prescription because I’m running out of contacts. I don’t remember why the first time, but the second time was because we got the call to go to see the genetics doctor, and today I realized I rescheduled my appointment at the same exact time as Hannah’s already established therapy session with early intervention. I need to become more organized, I think!
Remember to take care of yourself in all of this! Moms get lost in the shuffle when the little ones need things, but it is sooo important to do things for YOU! You can’t take care of Hannah if you aren’t taken care of! We moms have to look out for each other- 🙂
Sending you hugs and order to take a nap.
It be such a relief to know what’s wrong with your sweet baby girl! But at the same time, I’m sure you want to find every way possible to help her but you also have to take care of yourself! Don’t lose yourself in the middle of all this!! If you can, try to take a few minutes every day to just sit still, be in the moment and take deep breaths!! Your family is very blessed to have you!
I agree with everyone else. You have to take time to rest and refuel so you don’t crash unwillingly. Our bodies have a way of shutting down at the most inconvenient time so don’t force your body to turn on you. Good luck with getting some rest and maybe get a new planner where you can write everything down.
