If only...

ATolentino89

Any "if only" or "I wish" 

I am bored at work by myself. 

ATolentino89

If only this tasty coffee would boost my supply

If only Cole would sleep thru the night

If only teething was not so painful for him

ammnam14

If only I had another pair of hands to get stuff done.

If only I had a chef to make me lunch because I'm starving.

If only time would slow down because Zoe is growing up way too fast.


Oh, and I wish I had a glass of wine. Today sucks.

MomofEv+1

If only there were 30 hours in a day...

If only I could stay home and be with baby girl always. Being a working mom is hard and I miss my girl constantly.

If only DD wouldn't have hit this growth spurt the week I'm at a conference with her...

AnnH74

If only the power would come back on. It's getting cold in the house. 

If if only I would stop reading posts I might get a nap. 

If if only I could eat a big giant banana split!

groovylocks

If only my husband weren't so hard to get along with

if only I could stay home and be with olive all the time. 

If only my best friend lived near me

more to come

If only I could get rid of this thrush on my nipples
If only my pump parts could clean and sterilize themselves

If only I didn't have to go back to work tomorrow. Or that at least my job didn't bring crushing anxiety. 

If only I hadn't agreed, last year and pre-baby,  to take on extra things that mean more work when I return. 

If only I hadn't somehow given DH and myself minor food poisoning from a VEGAN meal last night. 

If only the dogs hadn't gotten into the dinner and therefore also ended up with food poisoning. 

If only the dog hadn't barfed all over the couch.

Sigh.

If only I could eat dairy
if only Ellie would nap without me having to perform a 30 minute shush rock pat, only to do it again once her eyes open
if only she would sleep in her crib or bassinette 
if only I could drink
i wish she would sleep longer at night

If only I could be a SAHM....and have a nanny, cook, and a housekeeper.

If only I hit the lottery..

Gingermom15

If only Diflucan didn't give me diarrhea. 

esscapelle

If only my boobs didn't get so damn small after stopping breastfeeding.

If only Starbucks could get my drink order right for once, I really need the boost. 

If only I could breastfeed to help with the tummy issues. 

If only Jax didn't have to have surgery in 2 weeks, I can't wrap my head around the idea of changing his perfect face.

He is a very beautiful baby! It's scary I hope everything goes well! Best wishes

@andreaAL11 thank you, it really means a lot. Any thoughtful wishes help me deal with this increasing anxiety.

andreaAL11

If only I could go back to drinking dairy.

if only I could just poof my marriage problems away. 

If only I could just relax and not cry for at least a day

If if only H wouldn't make this custody battle so difficult, including another country in the mix.

@Ancheta3 Have you tried Gentian violet for the thrush? We battled thrush with antibiotics for weeks and it didn't work. The gentian violet is a bit of a pain but totally worth it!

angelicac06

If only my LO would go back to his 7-9 stretch...

If only my mom would be the normal hispanic housewife so she can be my LOs caregiver...

If only I could own my own company so I could have the best of both worlds; work and step away to be/see my LO whenever I wanted...

If only my LO was an "easy baby" so things wouldn't be so hard and I could enjoy these early, baby months....

If only I could drink chardonnay whenever I wanted.

I could go on and on so I'll stop there.

abteamb

If only I could be a SAHM. I miss my LO so much when I'm at work. I'm a teacher, so I spend all days with other people's kids. Now that I have a LO, I just want to spend all day with her.

blended10

If only I could spend some *quality time* with my hubs
i wish we had an extra $200,000

i am so very blessed & I know it.
Best wishes to @lucy1108

If only I could keep my daughter at work with me without getting chastised. (It's actually been fine most of the time, my boss is just weary after almost a month of baby at work.)

If only my husband WANTED to be a SAHD, rather than that just being what happened.

If only I could get over myself and have a real cappuccino instead of decaf once in a while.

MaMinette13

If only I could sleep for more than 4 hours without my boobs killing me when I woke up!  LO sleeps like a champ, but I still can't get more than a 4 or 5 hour stretch!

If only my teammates at work were supportive of my students will I was on maternity leave and my class wasn't a complete disaster when I came back to work.

If only I didn't still look 6 months pregnant at 12 weeks pp

ssn109

If only DS slept through the night.

If only all my efforts to boost my supply actually worked.

If only we could finally close on the house so we could move. And if only DS would nap for more than a few minutes at a time so I could get some packing done.

If only I didn't have to act as a human pacifier just to get him to stop crying.

@Lucy1108 best wishes for your LO

This. I'm a teacher too. Came back to a disaster. Apparently all my students forgot my rules and expectations while I was gone. They've been wild!!

If only DD would stay asleep when I put her in the crib for nap time.

millieb14

If only I could relax and enjoy my sweet baby and my husband. 

If if only our student loans didn't feel like a ball and chain. 

If if only I had a magic wand and could heal my baby's hips so she wouldn't have to wear a brace. 

preggoandglowing

If only there were two of me so I could get stuff done and bond with baby at the same time 

If only calories and fat grams were good for you so I could stuff my face with sweets and lose weight at the same time 

ATolentino89

If only my husband would figure out what works best for our son and do it instead of bitching at me.

If only i was Angelina Jolie..

caketimes

If only I had eaten the Girl Scout cookies when pregnant

megankth

If only my so who doesn't work would help me with ds at night so I could sleep longer than 2 hour stretches..
