officially the worst maternity leave

not at all because of my time with Eden--that has been glorious. :)

but because i got my period this week. my hair has started to fall out by the handful. and yes, it has only been 10 weeks. smh. and my breast is sore again. might become mastitis again if i'm not careful. bah. i don't want to go on antibiotics again. poor eden has had enough drugs.

but more than that, my mother is back in the hospital. her brain is swelling causing her to go back and forth between laughing uncontrollably and being unresponsive. she's on steroids, which i'm guessing has quieted her down, but she's not really even able to feed herself anymore. i'm sad. sad doesn't really describe it adequately, but that's what i've got.

also, we got into a car accident last week. our van has been out of commission this week. bah.

so, that's three more things to add to the list that i started at week 6 or so. i'm ready for things to get better already.

the upside is that i decided Moses should go back to daycare for my last two weeks of maternity leave, so i could really regroup and get some rest before going back to work. i miss him terribly, but it was/is a good choice for me. i think it will really help our relationship too, because all this time together has really been tough on both of us, i think.

and beautiful eden, please sleep through the night. please. pretty please?
