F/U to I just don't know what to do

ertopp · August 2010

I wanted to thank you guys so much for all the suggestions. Unfortunately, my ENTIRE family is at the beach - grandmother & sister should be home around 5 today and my parents wont be back til next week! ahhh.. DH is at work til tomorrow morning, so it's just DD and i!

I had to put her down for a minute and i walked outside to take a breather. after more screaming my mom suggested i gave a little bit of tylenol then i gave her a fresh diaper and a very cold cloth to suck on. she held it so tightly and sucked away til she fell asleep. i finally got her into her swing after like 20 min of rocking her. about 25min later i was outside getting the mail and heard her SCREAMING so loudly. came in and got her, took the suggestion of walking her around outside while i watered the flowers. i dipped her feet in the pool and sat there for a few minutes. came inside and heated up a new bottle and she ate the entire 5 ounces - which she then threw up half on me, but oh well. i felt bad for her so i put cartoons on and now she is sitting here nicely in her bouncer watching tv! laughing away! YAY! ..oh and she is pooping. great! haha

hopefully this worked! but thank you guys soo soo much for being here to give suggestions! i didnt have anywhere else to turn. and i felt like the worst mother in the world because i had to step outside. i hate for my family or DH to think i cant handle her, because i can. but she was up half the night and then all this crying just pushed me over the edge!

thank you all again so much! some of you ladies are just awesome!

OOOOOOHH.. anddd this stupid girl on FB commented this : Welcome to having kids, wait till she starts not wanting to go to bed at all and destroying everything. You think its bad now.. ha!

- stupid b!tch. that does NOT help.

I'm glad you got some relief!! It doesn't make you a bad mommy to take a minute to calm yourself down, you need to keep yourself calm to have any chance of calming LO.

And tell the stupid fb b!tch to STFU

I didn't post on your previous post because I had no clue how to help, but I want to say I'm happy she is fine now.

I didn't comment on your other post either but I'm so glad she is doing better!

i seriously HATE when people say "just wait" in fact, i hate it so much i am positive to never tell any of my friends that. I actually offer advice or give them my experiences but i never say "just wait" not in pregnancy or motherhood. that was and still is one of my biggest pet peeves.
