Here is what my friend Sara Beth told me-- Your baby cannot hurt himself in his crib. So, bottom line, if you need to put him in his crib, shut the door, & walk away (even if he's crying), it's okay if that's what you need to do. Consider your own needs. All of us moms won't judge you for that-- we've been there...<br />Well, we probably don't all have babies 6 months apart, but still, we get it.<br /><br />It reminds me of one year on the radio many years ago, they were talking about the one thing moms wanted for Mother's Day. You know what it was? To be left alone for a day. Yep, once I became a mom, that's what I wanted, too. I remember my fantasy vacation became a night at the Double Tree by myself in my pajamas without the lights on, without the phone, and without the tv.<br /><br />And I also remember my first trimester. I went to the nurse's office and napped EVERYDAY on my conference period. Thank goodness we had block scheduling, so I had a 90 minute nap. So, I can't imagine being pregnant and having a newborn. Just because it's a miracle and you're thrilled to the core doesn't mean that it doesn't come with exhaustion and frustration. You're entitled to those feelings!Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12726711397107962691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006031035787773344.post-85968146671206314272010-04-28T12:24:29.898-05:002010-04-28T12:24:29.898-05:00I can imagine!

It was TOUGH - I would call my mom during the day crying - you will get through it....that doesn't help I know, but things get better! Ryan now sleeps 7:30-6:30 straight and I am loving it. Just know that misery loves company - that's all I can say at this point and just hope he doesn't have colic! xoxo<br /><br />AmyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006031035787773344.post-83718414151586250482010-04-28T11:26:00.527-05:002010-04-28T11:26:00.527-05:00Dude, that's ALMOST as unreasonable as a pat o...Dude, that's ALMOST as unreasonable as a pat of butter! LOL. You know I love ya, girl! :)<br /><br />I reckon it's a good thing James won't be able to remember what a basket case you were as a new mom, eh? <br /><br />It's entirely understandable - being thrown into the world of motherhood, twice over, and in 2 different ways would be a lot for ANYONE. Don't second-guess yourself, you're doing great! And those protective instincts are coming naturally, which is great! <br /><br />But John's right...you've got to take care of yourself too. Hopefully you'll be over the pregnancy exhaustion soon and can just deal with new infant exhaustion only!JLIhttp://paperphan.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
