OK I know its been awhile since I posted. Since the Baby has been born it just seems I can't get anything done. She is so different from my first. The first was so easy. You could put her in a swing and she would be happy for hours. This one on the other hand. I can't seem to put her down. If I do she only let me for about 15-30 min and that is with her complaining the whole time. Now we have more trouble coming as well..... she won't take a bottle and if she does it is only from me. We are going to be in big trouble in a few weeks when she starts daycare. She is such a momma's girl. Don't get me wrong I love cuddling, but I do need to do other things as well, like go to the bathroom with out her crying.
Needless to say I have not been able to get much spinning in or anything else. The good news is that it can all wait and sooner or later she will be off playing and I will be able to sit down and do something. Right now I'm just enjoing the moments that she isn't crying. She is getting so big so fast. At 2 months she weighed 9.5 lbs and at 3.5 months she is already 15 lbs!!!! SHE JUST DOESN'T STOP EATING! I can't imagine how big she is going to get when she starts eating soilds.

Yeah. I know the feeling. My daughter, born Sept 2006, was extremely colicky and couldn't be put down at all for the first six months of her life. I work at home, so I kept her attached to me the entire time using a sling, a Baby Bjorn, and finally an Ergo carrier. Even after six months of age, I kept her attached about half the time as she was very needy. And with barn chores to do, I had to keep her safe. She got very used to being on my back. Fortunately she's a small child for her age. She started walking in December and is suddenly Miss Independent! My back is grateful, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteMy mother-in-law and my mom, who raised eleven children between them, were very sorry for me. All their babies had been easy. And here I was with my one and only child (I'm 44, so no more babes for me) so difficult, colicky and all that; I can't imagine what it would be like to have an easy baby. Must be nice!
