SUBJECT: Do I ever want to do this again?
I am, oh Lord I just forgot how old I am…36 and I had my first and only child in April.
My child is bright, very beautiful, extremely charming, and at 6 months dose everything but walk. We are finally getting over the reflux stage after many ruined shirts, sheets, carpets, pants, you get the picture. Luckily we had the couch insured and it is being replaced this Thursday. No kidding.
Night time has been a nightmare. He has progressively worsened he’s sleeping habits. When I first brought him home he would sleep betwixt feedings the whole 8 hours. Last night we took 3 car rides. We are not agreeing on the CIO yet.
I love my boy more than I can express which I know ya'll understand
I was raised an only child and decided I would never have children. Well that changed at 34 when my husband and I knew we would never be apart. Of coarse I thought it cruel to make my child an only child and though I thought 3 would be an excellent number that would only happen if the next pregnancy was twins because of my agedness.
Now I’m not sure I ever want to do this again. How sad for my boy, my husband and myself. But so true.
Any encouraging ugly swan sleeper to beautiful swan sleeper stories.
I know I should Ferber, wieselbluth, knock him out or something but it’s not like this kid wants to be held at night either. Sometimes I think there is a worse problem.
