Waterworks...and not on DD's part

So I have officially been crying on and off since 1AM. I realize that many of you have been in MUCH more trying situations but I need to let it out--otherwise DH is getting a phone call at work from one hysterical biatch. DD hasn't been herself for the last 48 hours or so. Aside from SCREAMING (i realize you all comprehend screaming, btu caps just make me feel more effective) at me, she has been projectile vomiting more than 50% of her feedings, and she is usually a good little eater. She's also congested and has been red around the eyes, among other sign of her being sick. Every time I feed her I get so hopeful that she'll keep it in that I burst into tears when she finally boots. Additionally, if she has caught something I feel super guilty about taking her everywhere with me. We are headed to our pedi in a couple hours and--in case I wasnt enough of a basket case--im now freaking out that I too look like a trainwreck and our pedi is going to be like 'this momma is losing it...' (and DH works in the same practice. awesome)

    Aww I hope everythings okay. Dont worry about everyone seeing you like that, they've seen parents who're on their last leg before. lol Even though your DH works there, it'll be okay. I'm sure you've looked great at your pedi's before so it's not like you look like crap everytime. You just have had a rough few days. :)

    OH honey! I am so sorry you are dealing with this. I wish I could tell you this is the last time you will ever feel this way. Parenting is HARD work! I hope homegirl feels better soon. I can just see her miserable little sicky face. Poor thing! Boo to sick babies!

    As far as looking like a hot mess....Victoria Beckam said "Big sunglasses can hide ANYTHING" (she said something along those lines)

    I'm sorry your feeling like a hot mess. It will get better and I think we have all hit our wall whether we want to admit it or not. I hope that the pedi can let you know that it isn't as bad as we make it seem and then everything will get better quick.

    I LOVE your pictures of your baby propped up on the boppy though. I'm running home and putting Annalisa in hers just like it hoping I can capture a similar moment. SO CUTE!

    Thank you ladies--seriously, it never fails to amaze me how much better I feel after getting responses from fellow bumpies. Homegirl is officially a reflux baby. We start our Zantac this evening. I realize that tonight will likely also be a sleepless night, but it just seems so much more bearable when I at least feel like we are aware of the issue and on the track to managing my little babe's discomfort. Also, DH cancelled his afternoon patients and got home just in time to come with us. For all my irritation toward him sometimes, I gotta admit, I have a good one. Thanks again.
