I’ve been doing a lot of sitting this week.<\/p>\n
After Eric was gone two weeks ago, and after all the laundry that I finished last week, my body decided it had had enough.<\/p>\n
In the middle of the night on Saturday night, Eric took Erin downstairs to rock her (she was up from 11-3 am), and I tried to relax. But while I was lying there, I felt a weird, hard cramp that took a few minutes to release. Needless to say, that was NOT what I wanted to feel. But since there was no other issues (bleeding, etc) and it didn’t happen again, I figured it was something to heed, but not worry about.<\/p>\n
I did call my OB’s office on Monday just to make sure they also thought I was on the right track. The nurse agreed. She said I probably was developing an irritable uterus (had to look that one up!) and told me to start wearing my support belt, to drink lots of water, and to avoid over-doing (a huge feat if you know me at all!). So that’s what I’ve been trying to do.<\/p>\n
To be honest, I feel pretty lazy. But I can tell how quickly my body fades, especially when I do a lot of bending. This morning, I tidied the toy area while the babies ate breakfast, and in just that short time (10 minutes, maybe), my belly started tightening up. I guess it’s going to take more than a day or two to undo the wear of the last couple of weeks, huh? <\/p>\n
Anyway, I’ve tried to do more productive “sitting” activities, like reading or crafting, when the babies are napping. And I’ve done a lot more hanging out while they play. But it is hard to see so much that needs done around my house, knowing that I really need to leave it un-done for a while longer. <\/p>\n
So that’s been the fun of this week. Hope yours has been less exciting! Happy Wednesday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
