Today has been one of “THOSE” days. You know “THOSE” days right? The days when you think, what the h*** was I thinking when I decided 3 kids was a good idea.
I hate to have days like this. I swear I normally do not want to send my kids somewhere far away, but every once in awhile, you just can’t help but to get a little stressed out.
It’s been extremely harder this week because SJ is no longer just SLEEPING and pooping. He’s decided that he wants to CRY. A LOT.
God love him. I am pretty sure he’s having some belly issues. But enoughs ENOUGH! Can I get an AMEN?
I am on the 4th kind of formula and praying that the new one I started today is going to make a difference. I want my peaceful sleeping newborn back. STAT.
In case you think I am fabricating this story….
To top it off, Bents had his 18 month well child check today. That seemed like a good idea. Until the doctor was conveniently running FORTY minutes behind schedule. Not cool. Not cool.
Does this face not SCREAM “I’m being a DEVIL today?”
His eyes are seriously scaring me in that picture. Watch out.
This is much better.
But, even this, didn’t last long. He had to get shots and that sent him right back in to tazmanian mode.
Thank goodness for Excederin Migraine and fountain cokes in styrofoam cups. For real.
Oh girl! I hope your day gets better, it has to, right?
Hang in there girl! Diet Coke will definitely help!
I AM A NURSE AND READ YOUR BLOG FROM TIME TO TIME. THERE IS A CONDITION CALLED HIRSCHSPRUNG’S DISEASE THAT CHILDREN ARE BORN WITH. THEY DO NOT HAVE INNERVATION TO THE LOWER PART OF THEIR COLON. MAYBE YOU SHOULD ASK YOUR PEDIATRICIAN ABOUT IT. YOUR BABY’S SYMPTOMS SOUND LIKE IT COULD BE THAT. THERE ARE THINGS THAT CAN BE DONE FOR IT.
I DON’T MEAN TO INTERFERE, BUT WOULD FEEL BADLY IF I DIDN’T MENTION THIS TO YOU. I HOPE THAT IT IS THE SIMPLER PROBLEM OF FINDING A FORMULA THAT WORKS FOR HIM. I WAS A PEDIATRIC NURSE AT A CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL FOR A FEW YEARS. I HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM, AND IT CAN BE FIXED.
I WISH YOU THE BEST.
Maybe it’s time for Daddy Rose to get the big snip snip. 🙂
LOL! Love the transparency of this post!! We all have days like these girl!! Hang in there…it will get better!! Its amazing how a big fountain sodie in a styrofoam cup can turn our day around, huh?!
I have neen reading your blog for a few months now but had to comment. Feel your pain! Hope your day got better than this! I swear kids conspire together to take mommy down!
Oh bless your heart. I know the feeling, well kinda-just with 2 screaming kids in my case!
hey mama! I am sorry you were having an overwhelming day. Trust me I know the feeling, and I only have one child. When Kennedy was small she had the worst tummy issues & it seemed like all the formulas were the same. None worked. We went through Enfamil, Similac, and even Earth’s Best which is an all natural formula & none of them worked. The only one that seemed to work was Gerber Good Start Gentle. And let me tell you after a week of her being on that it was HEAVENLY. Maybe try that if you haven’t already. Good luck with the little one!
Children are fun – don’t they? 🙂
