I’ve never in my life had a sinus infection but I do now. It’s been several days and my symptoms are worsening to the point it hurts to chew so I figured I’d cave and get antibiotics. I was prescribed cefdinir but I’m nervous to take it and baby get thrush etc. I’m like do I just tough it out in fear of affecting our nursing journey or what. What’s your experience?!
My husband hasn’t worked in over a year and a half. He’s brought in income through other investments but he hasn’t actually “worked”. These investments aren’t enough for me to stay home. I still work full time and commute 10 hours a week. I’m burnt out. We have a 5 year old, 3 year old and 3 month old. I don’t feel like our weight is pulled evenly. I’m breastfeeding so I’m the one losing sleep and going to work on 2 hrs while he gets a restful night. I do everything around the home. He does cook but he never cleans after himself so it’s more work for me. He just had a surgery and is out of pocket for 4 weeks. Which is ironic right. When moms give birth they don’t really get to recover. They’re caring for someone else immediately. I’m just tired of constantly cleaning messes. I wash the sheets and inevitably someone throws up on them. I mop the floors then kids immediately spill juice. This would all be more manageable I feel if one of us was working and the other managing the home. Not me working, managing the home and the kids while he takes on 25% of household responsibilities only. I feel like I’m the only one ever trying to better our situation. I just applied for and got a job locally which will cut down on commute and hopefully that helps. Still feel like it’s all unfair.
Today is my first day back at work. My 11 week old has developed a cold from his older siblings. He usually a good sleeper giving me 5-6 hr stretches. Last night I got literally 2 hours of sleep. No exaggeration. It’s now 5 am and I have to be up for a 10 hour work day. 🙃 someone tell me you’ve been in the same boat and I will survive. 🫠
