stressss
i went for a post-natal check a few days ago, and everything was pronounced well by the doc. except for an elevated blood pressure. which was pretty weird, because all through out the pregnancy, i never had problems with my bp, and it’s pretty ironic that it starts just when the baby’s already out. i wrote it off to lack of sleep.
the truth is, i can’t say i really lack sleep. so far, mia’s being an angel during nighttime (it’s a different story during daytime, though). but since mid last week, jan’s kindergarten has been closed due to an outbreak of hand, foot and mouth disease, an illness that seems to have reached epidemic levels in china and singapore. so jan is forced to stay home and the poor guy is simply bored to death. the first day was a riot here at home, but so far, we’re coping well. hubby adjusted his work schedule and jan has continuously surprised me with his creativity and maturity. he would happily watch tv the whole day, sure, but when forced to turn it off, he’d come up with amazingly creative ways to keep himself busy.
but the stress! another week of this to go. let’s see how stress resistant i am. maybe i should start reading up on beta blockers. or looking for best acne treatment options.
how about you? how does your body react to stress?
