I can't believe this is my life...

MoRoseT · January 2009

I am so incredibly blessed and I know that, but I cannot believe I now have 2 kids and my day consists of what it does now...a super whiny 2 year old and a fussy newborn who wants nothing more than to be attached to my boobies 24/7. lol
I am about to go insane and apparently Noah did not get the memo about naptime. He is in his swing while I sit here on the couch and nest and get my body to myself for a few!

I just can't get over how different life is now...I need a break.

Can you DH take the kids for a few hours this weekend? Even if you are BFing and can just get a couple of chunks of time to yourself or get outside for a few minutes alone it may help a lot. I remember when DS went through a growth spurt at 3 weeks I thought I would go crazy - he was attached to me 24/7 or screaming his head off...

Oh, no... Don't tell me this!

((hugs)) It will get better!

Hugs. You're in a hard stretch - it gets better! Definitely take a break, if at all possible, this weekend. I remember I used to tell DH that I seriously needed something from the grocery store just so I could get out of the house for a few minutes by myself.

MoRoseT · January 2009

Yep, I am getting myself out of this house this weekend without the kiddos no matter what it takes. I didnt realize there was a growth spurt at 3 wks...maybe that's it.

lol...yep, enjoy your last few weeks! I was incredibly miserable and tired my last few weeks of pg, but this is a completely different kind of tired and just pure exhaustion!
I am running on fumes right now. lol

Know you're not alone. I didn't think I'd ever have to deal with talking back and sassing since I'll never have a teenaged girl, but Law could put an entire school of 8th graders to shame. He's been so naughty lately and pushing every single limit.

Andersen eats all the time, too. And his pediatrician wants me to try to get him to go a minimum of every three hours to see if it helps with his vomiting. Pfffffft. It doesn't. And even if it did, having to deal with him screaming his head off for hours isn't worth it.

Hope it gets better or you at least get a break soon.

Just remember back to when DD was a newborn and things seem so out of whack and out of control, and then, at some point, it calms down.

I hope this is true since I only have the one and thats all I know.

Hang in there!

I hope your two cuties start cooperating and let mommy get some rest.

Hang in there!

Yesterday, I was so tired, I was moaning about having so much to do and not having the energy to do it. I just found out today that a friend of mine, who has a DD the same age as my DD and is due 2 weeks before me, now has to have her baby life flighted after birth to have open heart surgery, she will likely not even be able to be there. Now, I am just grateful for my aches and pains and sleepiness. I am so happy to be having the family and life I always dreamed of.

yup, dealing with reflux here too. The little man is up for at least 2-3 hours during the night, every night, just screaming in pain. Sucks a big one for sure.

I'm scared!

The good thing is...they grow up as do toddlers. Each phase is temporary although it feels like an eternity when you're in the thick of it! GL!

Ditto Cam + shiit shiit shiit!

I'm scared.

Yep, this is my life in a nutshell too! Wish I had some good advice, but I haven't figured out how to handle it all myself yet.

Just remember that this is your life now but it will change drastically over the next several years. I could have written your post 3 years ago but now that is a world away. Today I had 3 hours alone while Owen was at school and Natalie was at a playdate and the some mommy/daughter alone time (school inservice day so no school for her) and now they are both off playing on their own. So try to remember that this mom gig changes all of the time and it gets easier as they gain more independence, go to school etc.

Hang in there! I know it can be draining.
