So MIL dropped dd off this morning after having her for the past week. I soon realized that things are going to be harder than I thought. DD immediately got jealous of the baby and wanted to feed her and when she was refused she starts this crying fit on the couch. It wasn't a tantrum cry, but a really "hurt my feelings" cry. So I decided to have her sit down and get a clean bottle to help feed the baby. Then she took one of her toys and almost hit the baby in the head with it trying to show me. Of course this started the crying fit again. Then when dh was trying to get her ready for school and I needed to feed the baby again, she wanted to sit on my lap as well.
I can't really blame her for acting this way. None of it was done to be mean and most of the time she is trying to help, though it doesn't end up helping at all. Also with not seeing me for a week it must be hard for her. I really do feel bad for all the changes she is going through right now. Today she had her last day of toddler group. Next Tuesday she turns 3 so she will no longer be able to go to her class that she has been going to since she was 17 months and will start preschool. So a new school, new teachers, and new kids. Then with all the changes at home, it is a lot for a little girl that is already having issues.
Luckily the baby has been pretty easy so far, though I am not doing well with the lack of sleep and this pumping business is starting to take it toll. Not to mention my stomach issues continue to happen so I have to force myself to eat and then all morning long today I was in and out of the bathroom having diarrhea. I guess buying the milk of magnesium wasn't a good idea Sunday night.
I was going to call the doctors, but looked it up and I guess GI issues can happen post csection so I am hoping it is just my body trying to work itself out then me actually having caught a bug.
Luckily the incision pain is mostly gone, though my feet is making up for that. My poor feet, ankles, legs, and even knees are so swollen it hurts to do anything.
