first day home trauma
who would have thought the first day home could be so exciting!?!
we left the clinic in the morning but by late afternoon my scar was really painful – burning and stinging and it seemed red and swollen in just one spot. nervous, i called the clinic and they told me to head back in for a check. we got everything together to go out with our new baby but when we got to the car, we couldn’t get the car seat to fasten over her diaper without a lot of pressing and couldn’t figure out how to loosen it.
the dr. was waiting for me so we decided it wouldn’t take long so i would just run up and isseki would stay with the baby. no problem.
it doesn’t take too long and i head back nervous bjiou has been hungry and crying the whole time. the door is locked. eh!?! he took her out?
ok. no problem. i open the door…
the first thing i lay my eyes on are his house keys sitting by the door.
panic hits – i left them locked out!?! i scramble to call his phone only to hear it ringing INSIDE the house!
full panic – i’m a blubbering mess – i run around the entire house looking for god knows what. what can i do – i have to find them – but if i leave, i won’t hear if they ring the bell – shit shIT SHIT!!
after probably the LONGEST 10 minutes ever he calls – he’s happy at the neighbors and bijou has slept the whole time.
i have heard of separation anxiety of new mothers with their babies but being away from bijou for 30 mins or so is refreshing to me. on the other hand, to be unsure of where she is or how you can get in touch with her – that was sheer torture!
oh hun….I miss you!!!! When I read this, all I could do was smile and say ‘that’s my Heather’. Hugs honey xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Poor thing. I agree with Anouska – that is def our Heather.
I hope everything was ok with your scar??
separation anxiety is real! even worse when thrust upon you in unexpected circumstances.
the curse of the mama.
