I’m having the sniffles again, darn it. This is the forth time in 2 months that I’m down with a cold. What’s happening to my immune system? I have never ever been this susceptible to catching the cold and flu all my life. What boggles me is that I’ve been eating very healthily and have been religiously popping on my health supplements every single day. Could this be due to stress, anxiety and lack of sleep or could this be due to the fact that I’m breastfeeding and all my nutrients have gone to my baby, hence my compromised immune system? It’s pretty frustrating to be ill all the time. I used to be the healthiest and sturdiest in the family before Baby C came along but ever since her birth, I have been the weakest and the first one to catch the flu bug if anyone in the house is down with a cold or flu.
I wish the hubs would take turns to help me with Baby C at night so that I can get uninterrupted sleep, for at least a few nights in a week. He used to help me with Alycia and Sherilyn when I was still working and needed to get up early for work. Ever since I left the corporate world, the responsibility of caring for the 3 kids at nights is pushed back to me completely ‘by default’. I should tell him to take over Baby C from tonight onwards, at least for 2 nights so that I have sufficient sleep and can recover speedily. I also wish I could hop onto a Car Service NY ride and have a nice holiday. Nothing beats the stress better than a nice break.
