Kailyn has only been here for three weeks but I have already been feeling assorted aches and pains from caring for our newborn. Most of them are pretty minor and wouldn't land me on the 15-day DL or require Tommy John surgery (baseball references) but I definitely feel them during my daily routine.
Whether they are painful thumbs from lifting, aching joints like wrists or hips from bottle feeding or minor back pain from changing a diaper at an odd angle, these are things that I hadn't ever thought of. I suppose it's not much different from carpal tunnel syndrome - doing the same (repetitive) motion over and over again. Helen says she's felt the same thing.
Not that I'm complaining. While these aches and pains can hurt a little bit, all it takes is for Kailyn to look up at me and all is right in the world.
