Day 10: Ouch

Today was my first day back at work. It went pretty well. However I only slept about a total of two hours last night. I felt okay at first but as the day went on I found myself desperate for energy. So instead of using my two hours of sleep as an excuse, I worked out! And I didn't want to and it wasn't easy. But I did it! I was able to take a nap for an hour and a half thanks to my husband's help.

I think I need to up my calories. I am not telling all of you to do that. I am doing this because I am nursing and I am literally starving. Plus, my milk production has gone down. So, my meals might consists of a little more.

My day started at 5:30 this morning and I am just now (midnight) eating my last snack headed for bed, if the baby sleeps (cross your fingers)
