After childbirth was over and I lay shaking and convulsing on the delivery bed, I asked the midwife if I was okay and this was normal.<\/p>\n

“Of course, You have just experienced what is equivalent to a marathon.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

That was two weeks ago and I don’t feel like I have stopped running.<\/p>\n

Since Savannah was born<\/a><\/strong> life has been racing along and Ive been trying to keep up. Father’s Day, blogging assignments due, Craig leaving, Kalyra’s b’day<\/a><\/strong> and just general living.<\/p>\n

And now that Craig has gone, I feel like the marathon has turned into a sprint.<\/strong> From the minute I wake, (after a newborn disrupted sleep mind you) I run from one mother task to another.<\/p>\n

There’s food to prepare, a house to clean,<\/a><\/strong> children to dress, clothes to wash, things scattered around to pick up, appointments to make, people to see, problems to solve, \u00a0blog posts to write, emails to respond to, a toddler to play with, a baby to put to sleep, constant production in the mother-milk factory, and somewhere in there I gotta breathe<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I literally run non-stop all day long. I was even running at four am yesterday when Savannah peed everywhere while changing her mid-feed and then Kalyra came running out as she had weed in her bed.<\/p>\n

Change Savannah, change Kalyra, change sheets, feed Savannah, get her down to sleep again, cuddle Kalyra as she is missing Daddy, and get her back to sleep.<\/p>\n

And then last night running back and forth to the toilet bowl, carrying Kalyra so she could throw up there rather than my bed.<\/p>\n

Run, run, run.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m tired, but not as exhuasted as I should be. I think I’m running on empty.<\/p>\n

The only good thing about it is that I am eating far less than I usually would, which often comes about because of boredom. Now I am running while I eat only the main events.<\/p>\n

And all this marathon sprinting running would have to mean that I’ll be shedding more baby weight. Wouldn’t it?<\/p>\n
