So this is pretty much what I have been dealing with these last almost 2 weeks. I thought he was past the crying and being fussy all day stage, but I guess being happy all the time was just a phase he was going through. And man I wish he was still happy all the time. These past two weeks have been pretty rough. Nic is gone working all day..literally. He leaves usually around 11:45 and gets home around 9:30. So I get to be home with my little man all day. I love being home with him, don't get me wrong, but it's been a rough go lately. I just don't know what to do. I try everything. Feed him, rock him, change his bum, take his temp, play with him, make sure he's OK. And nothing seems to work sometimes. He's a baby that always seems to need to get out of the house (like his mom) so we go on walks and that hasn't seemed to work lately either. Car rides do help, but I'm just not in the mood to always go on a car ride. I know that we will get through his because I know Heavenly Father only gives us what we can handle, but sometimes I don't know how I will get through it. These past few days, I have had to just set him in his crib and let him cry it out. And of course he's not the type of baby to cry himself to sleep. So he just cries and cries and cries. Then it makes me feel bad because he's crying so hard. And I'm not one to usually vent on here, but I know there are a lot of mom's that have had experience with this. I was reading my friend Tina's blog the other day and she is going through the same thing and I left a comment on her blog telling her that it gets better and they just snap out of it. Well I guess I spoke too soon. And please don't get me wrong. I love Nixon more than I think he will ever know (until he has his own kids). I love love love being a mom and I wouldn't change it for the world. I just feel overwhelmed and inadequate sometimes. Nic and I were having a conversation this morning about how hard of a baby he has been since he was born. Of course he brings us so much joy and happiness, but it's just hard sometimes. It's crazy how being a mom, for me, has been the hardest thing I have ever done, but at the same time, it has brought me the most joy and happiness I have exerienced. Anyway, I just needed to get it out of me. Thanks for listening!!Thursday, May 28, 2009

I'm SO sorry honey. My babies weren't hard until they grew up!! :-) Hang in there and maybe call your nurse here to see what she says. I sent Nixon a package today, maybe that will cheer him up. love you - hang in there!!
Hey Trudi. Im so sorry. All I can say is you sound just like me the first 2 years of Raegan's life. Now that I have Evan, I know now that she really was a difficult baby so I know EXACTLY how you feel. Then, having to do it alone, away from family, and a working husband...oh its hard sometimes. Just hang in there. You are such a sweetheart and nobody questions whether you love your boy...it's ok to vent:) I do!
AMEN SISTAH!!! I know EXACTLY how you feel. I'm sorry you have to go through it too, but I'm kinda relieved to know someone else who knows what I'm talking about. How about a deal like when we were little... I'll stick through it if you will?!?! LOL, love ya and we'll have to catch up when you get back!
