It’s been nearly 3 months since I’ve carried Clarisse. My back felt like chronically in pain and I decided not to carry her anymore unnecessarily. I handed this responsibility over to my husband. So the last two months provided ample and much needed time for my back to heal. I’m glad to say I now wake up every morning with my back pain-free and that is such a wonderful feeling. Like being young again.

I do have to thank and pity my husband though. He strained his back muscles badly a few times when lifting or carrying Clarisse in an arkward position. It hurts him even as he breathes. Clarisse is not that light anymore. If one is not careful when carrying her, it will definitely put a strain on the back muscles.

To make it worst, he works from his desk for more than 8 hours a day. No matter how ergonomically good his chair is, those long hours are a torture. Especially to his back and shoulders.
