Very Unexpected

I'm supposed to "sleep when the baby sleeps." I try to. But at some point, things need to get done around the house. Most days I do all right as far as getting enough rest. And I don't have too much trouble putting sleep before less important things (like dusting the furniture, for example). But I know I'm really tired when even eating becomes a chore - one more thing I have to do before I can take a nap. And though I never expected to feel this way, sometimes I find myself wishing I could survive without having to eat so much! SOMEtimes... but then Steve comes home with a pint of Ben&Jerry's ice cream and suddenly I'm very grateful to be allowed 2500 calories a day. Gotta love breastfeeding!
