10 days post op

Today I relaxed a lot in the morning. DJ and Shelby went to swim class without me and I stayed in bed and then did some research on the computer. After they came home, I went down to make DJ lunch and feed Shelby. For the most part, still taking it easy.

In the afternoon, we went to Strudivant to meet a potential childcare provider. I got very sick there. Sweating, weak, lightheaded... so bad I had to have DJ drive home - if you know me well, you know I don't normally let DJ drive. He frightens me.

After talking it over with the support group and the DOC, we think it was hypoglycemia. I hadn't eaten in several hours and I was way overdue. Considering I hardly get much in at this stage to begin with, every meal counts.

The rest of the evening I was tired and lethargic.

Today I consumed 62 grams of protein and so far 45 ounces of water. Currently working on sip, sip, sip to meet my 60 ounces of water.

Also, I learned today, that no matter what I do, I will lose my hair. This upsets me, but I guess its for a good cause. One person said that it was more of a thinning of the hair and that if she didn't point it out, others wouldn't have known. But others said it was noticeable.

If you see me around end of Oct. or after, and you notice my hair loss, please don't tell me!

Childcare Update: 4 Calls from the ad in the paper. Interviewed 1, don't think its a good fit. Went to meet one for watching in her house; her house is not prepared for babies. No childproofing and not a lot of room. The search continues...
