 | With the exception of your husband's health,our lives sound pretty similar. My almost 3yr old is just starting to become my friend again. I had the same type of pregnancy as you,constantly in the hospital suffering from dehydration,my son who was only 13mos old when we found out we were pregnant. Yikes! We were not planning on that. Anyway,I ended up having to quit my job because I was so sick during my pregnancy. My son was still going to daycare because I anticipated going back to work and didn't want to lose his slot at daycare. So,I'm puking every second it seemed,we're paying for 3days a week of daycare even though I'm not working. When my son is home with me,he ends up watching TV because I was so sick I could barely lift my head up off the couch. Then,my son starts getting bit at daycare because he's "passive". We have our second son a week early and just when I think life will be easier... New baby cries 24/7,I'm breastfeeding him,24/7,he starts having blood in his stool,stop breastfeeding put him on Alimentum(costs a small fortune). Helped,but he was still colicky till he was almost 6mos. Meanwhile my husband and I almost split up because all we do is fight because of money,sleep deprivation. At this point,my 2yr old won't even hug me and starts to not like his new screaming brother. I'm at the point where I really feel like I'm going crazy and then.... Our new baby hits 6mos,stops crying starts sleeping better. My 2yr old decides he likes mommy again,my husband and I stop fighting,I start to feel human again. Our second baby just turned one and I don't know how we got through those months. It will get better.(my 2yr old still isn't so fond of his brother,but he's starting to come around) |
