That is what my life feels like right now. I don't even know where to start. OVERWHELMED! That's a word that I get.
The big kids are out of town at my aunt's right now. While the responsibility of taking care of them is lifted, I am feeling so very lonely. I can't wait for them to get home.
Grant's surgery is scheduled for next Wednesday. I can't seem to accept this decision. There is so much that can go wrong, either way. It is a decision full of What-Ifs. Please pray that I am making the right one.
I'm not making enough milk to feel Cade. I am not sure why this is so emotional for me, but it is. I feel like I am letting him down by supplementing with formula. I wish that I could get him back on the breast. My plan is to meet with a lactation consultant next week while we are all at the hospital. If I can't start making more, I think that I am going to give up the pump. It doesn't seem to be worth the headache for only 1/2 of what he needs.
I am feeling so down about myself physically. None of my clothes fit, but I can't justify spending money on clothes right now when Grant's bills are mounting up. Speaking of clothes not fitting, the boys are quickly going through their stash that I started. I need to get some of their newborn clothes on Ebay, so that I can buy more. Who has the time?
I haven't been able to work because the boys are too difficult for George to handle right now. Being broke isn't helping things one bit.
Oh, and finally....what in the hell am I supposed to do with all of my kids next week??? They are saying that we should expect at least a 4 day hospitalization. You would think that D and T's dad would keep them, but NO. I am desperately trying to piece together places for them to go without freaking them out completely.
Sorry that this is such a downer post, but it feels good to get it all out on print. Just one thing at a time, right??

I'm sorry for you. I feel your pain. I'm sure the surgery will go fine and help him out so much.
As for the milk department, all you can do is your best. It's hard. Big hugs.
I'm so sorry you are going through so much. I don't know exactly how you feel but I can relate to a lot of what you are saying regarding financial issues and not fitting into your clothes. For the mile issues, I used Fenugreek and it really helped me. ((hugs))
Oh wow, S - I'm so sorry.
I know nothing I say can make things better, but just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you guys - hopefully both the lactation consultant and the surgery help (good luck tomorrow) get things moving in the right direction.
