Soother for Mommy:
I'm sitting at the kitchen table and it's sticky. I just wiped it down but it's still sticky. I think it will probably be sticky for the next 18 years so I'm just going to go with it. Nathan is upstairs napping, he is amazing...I set him in his crib, he might let out one fuss and then he just...goes to sleep! Now this is during the DAY. In the evening, it's fussy time. Last night he screamed from about 7 pm till 10pm and then some. I know he was tired but the kid would NOT go to sleep. I had a hard day yesterday too, hormone levels I'm sure but I was at my wit's end by the end of the night. Thank God for Jason who is calm and collected when I am crying and sure that I am the worst mother around. I was so upset because after three children, I still cannot swaddle worth a dang. Isn't this supposed to be an innate mother trait? Well, I don't have it.
I am hoping today will be a better day. In general, this time around has been better with the postpartum blues, but yesterday was a tough one, and I didn't start today feeling so hot either. I know these days are temporary...as are the days in my "big pants"...but it's hard to remember that sometimes.

ahhhhh...coffee. I love a good cup. Hang in there! BIG *HUG* from me to you! One day at a time (or maybe 1 hour at a time :)
It's so hard being a new mom. Go easy on yourself, It will get easier. That coffee looks like a nice way to start the day. Have a great weekend!!
