ok, so i know i am exaggerating but i am seriously losing my mind people!! please tell me all this crap is worth it in the end!! at one point i wanted 3, 4, maybe even 5 kids but now i feel as if that dream will never happen. if i can't even get through one baby, how will i ever make it through 4 more? if any of you read my last post, you know that mason has been absolutely impossible lately. i can't get him to eat his baby food, he has had an extremely tough time with sleeping, and he will NOT stop fussing. he is so amazingly attached to me that even if curtis is home, mason still cries for me to hold him. these are only the major issues...i don't even want to go into the smaller details. when i get angry at him i grit my teeth and let me tell you, my teeth are killing me!! oh how i wish i could start over. i can think of about a million things i would change. unfortunately, that's not how the game parenting works. don't get me wrong, i LOVE being a parent. LOVE IT! and i am nuts about mason. he is beautiful and absolutely precious. i just feel like i can't handle it. i just can't live up to the expectations that come with being a mom. i did hear in a relief society lesson once that heavenly father only gives us trials that he knows we can handle. he will never give us something that is too much for us to deal with. i have faith in him and i know he has faith in me so everything is going to be ok right? i guess the only thing i can do right now is keep praying and doing the best i can. if i suddenly disappear for quite sometime, i'm sure you will be able to find me under the sheets of our bed trying to sleep my way through the storm.
while finishing up this post, i found out that curtis' boss sent them home from work for the night...with pay! one little prayer answered at a time....this reminds me how i get through each day.
Oh Christina I'm so sorry! Have you tried giving him more adult food? I give Alia frozen peas and carrots one at a time and she loves them. Some babies have an issue with textures. They'd rather eat food than mush. If you ever need a break let me know! I'd be happy to watch Mason until you've relaxed or even if both of you just want to come and visit. Sometimes that helps the both of you just being out of the house. Trust me I know that feeling! Please, please, please call or come over anytime!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it is contagious! Leta has had the exact problems!! She has never been the best sleeper but latley it really has been a struggle and to add to it she won't eat very well and just cries...If you need to talk I am here for you.
ReplyDeleteDitto all of the above. You know that you have close-by friends to lean on. I realize how hard it is to actually call and ask for help. We don't want to intrude or give help when you don't need it. Sometimes the trial is learning how to ask for help--I certainly learned that one the hard way. Please, call me. I do have a responsibility to help you and I would love to do so.
ReplyDeleteDitto Ditto. I know how you are feeling. Hannah was the same for the first 4 months and I had a break for a while and know she is starting it again. Her problem is she is having troubles with every thing I feed her. Poor, guy. Has he seen the dr. He might be having some tummy troubles. Check and see if there are any foods that make it worse. Please call. One more fussy baby won't make much of a difference. Even if you just need to cry on the phone or any thing.
