A Crazy Wonderful Life

Written By Unknown on Monday, April 30, 2012 | 3:56 PM


I'm sure you've all noticed my blogging absence lately...let's just say things have been a little crazy around here.

First off...I have yet again given birth to a fussy/colicy baby who rarely lets me put her down. She does this "cat nap" thing where she sleeps in 5-10min. increments during the day. I swear every time I think she is dead asleep, I carefully place her in her crib, and 2 min. later she is wide awake! I have tried sticking to a dairy free diet to see if her fussiness is because of a food allergy but it didn't seem to help. Now my Dr. has me giving my baby soy based formula for the week...but it doesn't seem to be helping either.

Secondly...My already demanding 2 yr old has decided to start getting into EVERYTHING! He now thinks that it is ok to get into the refrigerator and cupboards to retrieve his own snacks (which always results in a mess of crumbles or gooeyness on the floor). The other day he got a gallon of milk out of the fridge and proceeded to pour himself a glass! Luckily I caught him in the nick-of-time! In addition, he has decided to become the worst sleeper in the world (but thankfully my wonderful husband has stepped in and takes care of him when he wakes up in the middle of the night :).

And last but not least... (remember when I wrote about my nursing problems?) Well, I have now become an "exclusive pumper." Which is a whole nother story on it's own... just know that it is INCREDIBLY time consuming.  But, so far so good because I am actually feeding my baby 100% breastmilk, which is a miracle for me!

On a happier note...

I truley do love being a mother of 2 even though it seems my life has literally been turned upside down. A couple of weeks ago my husbands family came to town and they were able to attend Charlotte's baby blessing at our church (see above photo). It was a great day and so nice to have them here to share it with us!

Also...a big THANKS!!! to the person who created "white noise" sound clips, it's one of the only things that will calm my fussy baby!
