6 more days

Last Friday, I finally went out for an hour! Why? I had to go see my dermatologist. I was going to wait after my sitting month, but with my rash I just couldn't wait any longer. When I was pregnant, I started to have the rash on my face. I've always have eczema problem, ever since I was a baby, but I never had it on my face. With this pregnancy, I did. I was hoping after the pregnancy, my rash will get better. Instead, it got worse. I got rash all over my body, my arms, my legs and even on my feet! This is also another reason why I couldn't stand breastfeeding anymore. Can you imagine me sitting there nursing or pumping while sweating and itching the whole time? YIKE! Today is the 4th day after seeing the doctor, I am certainly feel better. Thou, I still get itchy here and there, but it's not that bad anymore. My face definitely clear out a lot better!

My father came over on Saturday to take over from my mom. For the past 2 nights, Adrian definitely cooperate much better with my dad than with my mom. He had been sleeping great for the past 2 days with very little fuss at nights between feedings. Ha, I am sure my mom won't be too happy when she sees this!

I am in my 4th week of my sitting month now and I do feel my energy is coming back little-by-little. During pregnancy and after delivery, I would need to have my afternoon nap almost everyday. After delivery, I could simply just sit there and doze off. For the past few days, I realize I am getting more and more energetic. Because I don't sleep with Adrian at nights, I do get pretty good sleep except if I have to get up to comfort Cassandra if she has bad dreams, that if I take nap now in the afternoon, I don't feel sleepy at all until 2 or 3am! This is when I know that my energy is back!

So, yes, I broke the rule. I went out of the house. I had to go see the doctor. But, it didn't count. I was only out for an hour, and was just sitting in the car and in the doctor's office. Ahhh..6 more days, like my friend just said, I do feel I am almost a foot out of the house!!!!
