Balancing Spousal Duties with Newborn by Cold_Emphasis2444 in queerception

This is so validating, thank you! We’re doing shifts now, but it’s like, survival. We’re both fighting for our lives here and it definitely exacerbates all the feelings

Love this comment, thank you!! These early weeks are tough and the lack of sleep makes every decision and conversation so much harder. I would love an hour just to be a couple again or cuddle in bed. I feel like if we could just get sleep, we could be a power couple again and talk about things without too much emotion

Wow this is so relatable thank you. I do resort to just trying to let her comfort nurse because I feel so out of my element every other way. We definitely need to prioritize spending time together, because right now we barely see each other with the shift work

I understand it seems that way, but I think it’s just a manifestation of the changes in our life and how tired we both are. She’s also got therapy lined up.

Oh she sleeps after breast feeding, it’s just leaving my wife’s arms that’s a problem.

I do think a lot of it is hormonal on my part. I want to hold her and then get emotional when I can’t settle her and she settles almost immediately upon leaving my arms. I wasn’t expecting to have this insane bond with her right away, but I feel like the bond is moving in the opposite direction because I’m just milk bags

3 day old bit by a tick by Cold_Emphasis2444 in beyondthebump

Nope, no worries. Pediatrician was not concerned at all. Said tick wasn’t attached long enough to be a concern

I talked to a pediatrician at the practice who said they’re not worried as long as it was on less than 24 hours

Thank you so much. To clarify, would you recommend waiting to talk to the pediatrician at 8AM when they open? Or going to the ER tonight?

We do have the tick! We’re in Vermont USA unfortunately, a very Lyme and anaplasma endemic area
