Sleepless in Baby Town

You know you’ve turned into a zombie when…

You forget to put deodorant on consecutive days in a row…

You eat dinner with your breast (which was just used as an appetizer for the little one) hanging out the entire time…

You spend a good portion of the morning packing a lunch, book, and breast pump for your first day sans Little Ring only to forget the bag on the city bus…

You can’t figure out the simplest of Facebook tasks, like how to delete a status mistake, that otherwise you’d have no problem doing on much more rested days….

You spend a good hour trying to find out what the heck is beeping, thinking for sure it’s the barbecue needing more gas, only to realize later, it was you who was beeping the whole time… well, the 10 units left alarm on the insulin pump, that is….

And you come within a quarter of an inch of injecting the super thick, super long reservoir needle into your belly. For those of you not in the know, this needle is ONLY used for withdrawing insulin from the vial into the reservoir – it is NOT an injection needle!


Dull and thick, not the right needle!

Oh my dear sweet Little Ring, remember those days of yore when all you’d do was sleep? Those were the days 😉
