One day short of 3 months after Brynlee was born and Aunt Flo has returned. I honestly have been dreading this day. Brynlee has had so much trouble with nursing and being so on and off that I was pretty sure I would start while I was still nursing, but I didn't think it would be this early.
Mostly I'm just scared. I had SUPER painful visits from Aunt Flo every month before Brynlee came around, but I didn't really have any responsibilities. Now, if I am having terrible cramps, I still have to get up and take care of Brynlee. I really hope having a baby changed Aunt Flo's mind about how she wants to visit and will make my life easier.
I also read online (only because I noticed a difference) that Aunt Flo causes your milk supply to decrease. Well, as I mentioned above...Brynlee has already had a really hard time with nursing and now we want to add on the fact that she won't be getting as much as she is used to?? Whoever decided that giving a mom a hungrier, fussier baby while Aunt Flo is here was a good idea, was mean. Aren't we emotional enough when she comes?? You want to add even less sleep and more crying???? Goodness!
I know I have it good, lots of people start even earlier than I have, but that does not make me any less scared or excited about it.
I guess that's what I get for having a baby who sleeps through the night.
Being a girl stinks.
