Daddy's Still on the Blow Up Bed

This week went really fast...I can't believe we are one week out of surgery. Hannah's mouth looks great, but she is still struggling to get back to her normal self. This last week I have had many flashbacks of our first few weeks with Hannah. She still doesn't eat much mostly because I think the bottle irritates the stitches. She is taking about half of the amount of food that she is used to getting. During the day she is pretty good if you provide constant entertainment and distraction. Then night comes and so does my anxiety. Tim and I had no idea recovery would be this difficult. Even with pain medication she wakes up every few hours screaming all night long. In addition to this, she has to be held and will not sleep unless she is with me. I am guessing it's a combination of pain and hunger. I would say maybe the NoNo's make her uncomfortable, but Hannah has those baby's off in about 30 seconds flat. For the most part she is good about keeping things out of her mouth but every now and then in the middle of the night I see her sucking her thumb. If she is sleeping I am not stopping her. How much damage could she really do when she is asleep. I keep hoping one of these days we will wake up and everything will be back to normal, but right now I feel like we may never get sleep again. These are the same irrational thoughts all new mommies have and eventually they sleep and so will Hannah. At 4am when I'm on my 8 millionth round of "Hush Little Baby" I remind myself that she went through major surgery and I feel blessed to be laying next to her even if it means no sleep.
