Surgery

Eric's surgery went well. The doctor had to cut a larger incision because one of Eric's gall stones was too big to fit through it. It was apparently the size of a robin's egg. Yikes!!! He's been feeling a little better everyday. Today, he's 5 days out from surgery and just had his first sneeze. He didn't like it, ha! He's kind of had a cough ever since the day of the surgery, so he's had to deal with that though. And if I recall correctly, sneezes hurt way worse...they're kind of more violent, ya know?

It's super sad because Claire just wants him to hold her and huge her and carry her around and he can't. It's almost like she got mad at him for a few days. Now, she's back to being whiney towards him. It makes me so sad. :( It really hurts Eric that he can't play with her..I just feel so sad for both of them.

I'm also feeling pretty stressed out that I'm having to do absolutely everything around the house. I am changing every single diaper, doing every single dish, cleaning everything...it's kind of stressful not having any help. I can't imagine how a single mother feels! I've been having a lot more Braxton-Hicks since Eric's surgery. I'm pretty sure I'm at the point where I'm not supposed to carry around a 25-pound toddler, but I have no choice right now. Literally no choice. I HAVE to in order to get her in and out of the car. I HAVE to when I put her to bed. I can change her clothes and diapers on the floor if need be, but I literally have no choice in other ways. I kind of had a mini freakout last night...I'm just so frustrated. And it's not even like I can be frustrated with Eric or Claire. It's just a frustrating situation in itself. I know that I'm pushing myself over what I should be doing, but there's no other way or things won't get done around here. Ugh, I can't wait for Eric to be healed. Haha, I sound selfish and I'm kind of pissing myself off. :-P

I have 5 weeks and 1 day to work. I can't wait to be done. I'm at the point of not caring anymore. I also don't feel like anyone there understands that it's harder to get around and move around quickly. I guess I'm just frustrated all around.
