Crappy day

in March 2012 Moms
I took Kelsey for her 2 month appt and shots today.  That sucked to begin with (poor kiddo feels like crap), but she's not gaining enough weight so we're going to try some Zantac for reflux.  The back of her head is also a little flat so we need to do more tummy time.  I feel like a terrible mommy for letting this happen.  The pediatrician also gave me a referral to a child psychologist for DD1 because she's a nightmare.  I just all around feel like a failure today.

    Don't stress it, you are not a crappy mommy and we all have areas "we think" we suck at.  Take a deep breath and accept you are human and then see what areas you can work on... and which ones aren't worth the stress you are giving yourself over.

    You already know LO needs to gain weight and have dealt with that..

    ..not sure why you DD needs a shrink, but if you think it's necessary.. there is another problem dealt with.

    Our lil guy was not a happy camper when he got his shots either.. but it's over and done with and they forget a lot sooner than we do.  I thought our guys head was a bit lumpy too but the Pedi said it was fine.. he lost most of the hair on one side, not even like its his favored side to lay on... but it's growing back fine now. he has the worst gas, poops anywhere from twice a day to once a week ..even as much as two weeks... and trust me I thought I was doing everything wrong too.

    You are doing a great job and don't forget it... there will be a few humps in the road but it will get better...at least you aren't just closing yoru eyes and ignoring issues that need to be dealt with.

    HUGZ hang in there

    I really hope everything gets better for you. I'm sorry to hear all this. But just remember, whatever you do  to your child you are a good mother. Don't let yourself of anyone else tell you different.

    I'm sorry it went horrible!  I know watching them cry while they get their shots is one of the worst things EVER!!!  I don't know if you did it but 1.4 ML of tylenol if they weight 10 pounds before the shots help, and schedule them as late in the afternoon as possible to help keep the LO on it's sleeping schedule.

    Sorry you had such a hard day.  I was so heartbroken when DD got her first shots, but everything was fine by the next day.  You are doing what you can to help your kids and that is what good mothers do.  Hugs!
