Ben's Latest Nickname for Dexter...

Stankasaurus Dex.

Oh, My Aching Wrists!

Lack of sleep, tender nipples, sore arm muscles, fewer showers, sporadic eating - I expected all of these discomforts to come along with the joys of motherhood. But I didn't expect my wrists to ache so badly! Between holding Dexter's head and my boob at feedings, my wrists feel like they are about to break! Last night they hurt so badly I couldn't lift Dexter out of his basket for the 3am feeding and Ben had to hand him to me and then put him back to bed. If anyone has any advice on how to stop this awful pain, please share!
