I lived through the week.

This was my first week caring for a friends 3 month old in addition to Landon. It was HARD. Mon-Wed particularly, holy crap. Landon threw a full on nursing strike while I had this other baby to take care of. I went up and down my stairs more times in three days than I usually do in a month. It was hell. Wednesday afternoon when Jax had a meltdown, I had one with him. I just held him and cried.

I felt awful because here I was trying to make a few extra bucks so we didn't go broke while I was home with Landon, but I wasn't spending time with Landon. It seemed really awful at the moment and I wasn't sure i could continue doing this.

Yesterday was better. Landon is eating again, and Jax actually slept okay. I think I might make it through the week. Maybe these guys can get on a schedule and it can be more fun than crying!

    That does not sound like something I would want to do! But I bet they'll both get used to it.

    i'm sorry you had such a rough week. Maybe once they get used to each other and the routine you want to set in everything will be ok.

    I LOVE your new siggy pics btw! The very last one is my favorite lol.

    I'm really proud of you. It will be second nature before you know it.

    I am sure that the three of you just need some time to adjust.  I bet that by the end of next week things will be way better.

    Stick with it a while longer.  I bet they just needed to get used to each other.  Once you find a routine that works it will become easier. 

    I hear you on the stairs though.  I HATE that almost all houses here have stairs because it's a biitch when you have to carry two kids up and down them.  LOL
