Blogless in Pennsylvania

We’re here… barely. We’ve been completely off-line for the past few days. Sorry to our readers that we’ve been MIA in the blogosphere. I hate not blogging because I feel like I’m missing out on my own processing/journaling and also because I feel like I’m leaving all these important days somehow undocumented. But late Thursday night I started coming down with a yucky bad sick thing. Very feverish with high fever all day Friday. My OB put me immediately on an antibiotic. But it was not anything related to my c-section or breast-feeding. Saturday and today I’ve had a terrible bad flu bug– congested, achy all over, sore throat, headache, the whole nine yards. As if the whole newborn-nursing24x7-twinados-transition2PartyOf5-CsectionRecovery-thing wasn’t enough. So here we are: Blogless (and sleepless) in Pennsylvania. Braydon and I are surviving… but barely. The boys are hanging in there o.k. (I’ll put it this way: we have our high points and we have our low points), all things considered. Meera is eating like a champ (good for baby; rough for Mommy) — but is having some trouble sleeping (rough for all parties involved). Braydon goes back to work tomorrow… which is deeply depressing on every level. So, there you have it. I’m hoping that at some point soon I’ll figure out how to find time to blog. As they say, ‘this too shall pass.’ In the meantime… the truth is… we’re struggling.
