Only had the 3rd kid home since tuesday, but got both the older boys (2 and 1) back thursday afternoon. I'm still ill from something affecting my lymph node in side of my groin so moving around a lot gets me tired and in pain. This is the first time I got on the laptop all day.
This is the third night I'll probably be staying up until 7 am taking care of the new born before I hit the sack and have my wife take over til noon. Worse part is, kid sleeps fine in the basinet earlier in the day, but then comes the 4am feeding and changing (it's currently 4:30am). After that he won't sleep unless I sit there and hold him most of the way til 7am (he'll usually want another feeding/changing shortly before then, least he's on routine).
Right now my brain is wiped, I can't really think of much other than taking care of the kid, finding it hard to get back on a working schedule so I can start bringing back in the income. My ankles hurt, my left thigh hurts, my head hurts, I'm tired but can't sleep.
Seriously thought bout seeing if I could score some adderall or similar, but then thinking I'd fuck myself up with that. My saving grace is that the two older boys tend to sleep thru the night, and I know (I hope), I'll be able to hit the bed at 7, since The wife has a friend come over while I sleep to help with the kids (she's not supposed to do any lifting, etc etc due to the c-section, yet she can be bloody impatient at time and try to do so anyways before I even rush over to help her, then gets all psycho at me that she had to do it).
I saw it coming, but didn't expect to get my "thinking" brain wiped that badly.
... 2 hours and 15 minutes to go.
