Yesterday was a day that ran just a little too long. Nausea and insomnia the night before had held me captive, not allowing for much sleep to be had. Kate was in a good mood all day, thankfully, but I was just too thin after a long day spent trying to occupy her and keep her happy. It was a day when I count down to bedtime. Three more hours. Two more hours. One. Bedtime! All I could think about was sagging into bed to read my book. Simple, but desperately needed.<\/p>\n
And so of course fate should dictate that when I gratefully lowered Kate into her crib and left the room with a large sigh of relief a loud wail started. She doesn’t normally make any fuss at bedtime. I ignored it for a few minutes but shortly couldn’t do anything at all without my head aching with the very loud, unpleasant sound.<\/p>\n
I went and got her up. Her face was red and tear-streaked. It took a while before she would let me put her down. When she was distracted by her dad and the tv I slunk away, leaving them to fend for themselves. I was just done and knew it.<\/p>\n
I read my book in bed… for a brief while. My eyes closed. I fell asleep in the middle of a sentence. Just laid my head down and closed my eyes and couldn’t find within me the strength to open them again.<\/p>\n
Den apparently fed her again and then put her back to bed, this time without complaint. He came to bed shortly after, quite surprised to find my face-first in my pillow, kindle next to my hand.<\/p>\n
Now of course it is after midnight and I woke first having just to pee. But then the nausea settled in, worms squirming in my belly, gag reflex twitching helplessly. I may need to get up to eat something more substantial than crackers – not sure how else I am going to get any sleep. Or maybe I might get up to puke. Right now that seems a distinct possibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
