My baby boy is not quite a year old and is already 23 pounds. Typically I put him on one hip if I want to get anything done. I can vacuum, make dinner, wash windows, and put away dishes holding him to one side. My son doesn’t help me out at all. He doesn’t hang on tight or wrap his legs around. He sort of dangles like a limp sack of potatoes. Every now and then he gets it in his mind that it is a good idea to dive bomb towards the floor. I then scramble to catch him. I am not a small woman, but I am not large either. I can’t really handle holding 23 pounds of dead weight all day long. I have gotten so sore. My neck, shoulders, and back especially kill me. When my son wakes me up in the middle of the night, I can barely pick him up. I have started looking into cannabis topicals for pain relief. They reduce inflammation in the body and promote muscle recovery. I really need to get my hands on some cream. I also think I might dabble in cannabis bath bombs as well. I like to sometimes soak at the end of the night while my son is in bed. I would like something to further promote recovery. Right now I am lifting weights too in order to try and build some more muscle. I feel like if I was stronger I could be more conditioned to holding that heavy weight for longer periods of time.
