I feel your pain– I remember those weeks all too well.

Hello Mrs Chicken

You’re doing fine. This is only a testing phase to see how strong you are as a parent. Take this time to examine your feelings and to get ready for the next phase in your life. You love your daughter. Only you can determine the outcome in how you will raise your child. At the end of the day your love will be the solution to this testing time.

I know you don’t like cliches, but you always seem to tell me that where love resides, then your faith can move mountains.

Just know that there is alot of people who support you in every step of the way.

Love,
Cazza aka Chickidie

I thought of you and Shaggy when I was up at dawn today after a loooong night with my coughing toddler. Even in my bleary state, it was a gorgeous sunrise. Hope that you were sleeping, but, if you were not, that you could see some of its beauty, too.

It’s so true that we forget this stuff. I barely remember it, really.

This time will pass.

You know that most babies go through a growth spurt at about 3 weeks, then again around 6 weeks, then 3 months. And, both of my children did this.

I can’t complain, my babies weren’t really difficult at all. Walker more so than Jace but that was our own fault for holding him all the time because we were in such awe of him.

But, if all proves to be true, he should leave the grumpy phase in a few days and you should have a few weeks of peace before the next growth spurt shows up.

Good luck and as you said…this too shall pass

Yeah, you do forget. Until a mama of a newborn writes about it, and then it all comes rushing back in technicolor. I can FEEL the 3 a.m. in this post. Hard to remember that it does pass, and even harder to remember that you kind of miss it. Sort of. Okay, not really, but there was some sort of not-so-awfulness to it, even so. Hang in there. (As if you have any choice!)

I know it’s not the PC thing to say, but from the second I started breastfeeding I was counting down the days till I could stop. I was determined to make it a year and with every passing week I was relieved to be one week closer to being done. We ended up making it to thirteen months and strangely then I didn’t want to let go. I loved the cuddling but it was amazing having my body back (of course, by then there was another child in my belly but you get the picture). Never feel like you have to apologize for your parenting decisions.

With the second child you know that this is a phase, even if it is difficult. I do hate, though, how when you are in it everyone wants to tell you it will be over so quick. Well, it sure doesn’t seem fast in the wee hours of the night/morning! And you have the added pressure of wanting to be somewhat coherent during the day for The Poo, vs. when she was a baby and you could doze off and she wouldn’t notice!

But he is sooooo beautiful! The most beautiful baby in the whole world! Isn’t it so much easier with our second and third babies, knowing that it’s all just a phase?
