Being a parent is hard!

I HATE, HATE, HATE not knowing the answers! I hate that there isn't one right thing, and if you do that, it works.

I'm always second guessing myself.

I don't know why Kennedy doesn't like me much. Is my supply tanking? Should I pump 3 times while I'm gone or is 2 ok? When should I pump 6:30, 10, and noon? Or 6:30 and 10? Or 10 and noon?

Is she getting enough sleep? When should she go to bed? Should we sleep train? How? What method/expert/book?

UGH... I wish that I had THE ANSWER, like the foolproof, only one answer.

But I guess if I had that... I'd be rich! ; )

My kid doesn't like me... bleh..

Or at least she doesn't like me working.

When we are home on the weekends, she it much better. M-F... she doesn't like me much.

Most of the day is spent fussing, even after food, burps, diapers, a nap, while I'm holding her... when I'm not... UGH!

It's soooooo tough! Getting home, excited to see her.. and she doesn't seem to be happy that I'm home, and fusses all night.

I would say, that it's because she is teething, or its gas, but she doesn't act that way with everyone else, just me.

A better guess is that she gets fussier later in the day, and I'm the one there... but she is happily playing with Grandma right now happy as can be... I walk over and it's time to fuss.

I wonder what she is saying to me... I had better pick it up real quick!

6 Months~!

Kingston and Kennedy in their Ellen Show onesies : ) I wonder if they make it on the air next year ; )

Thank GAWD for MLK day!

OH!!!

I am soooo excited to have a 3 day weekend!!! And after my first week! That couldn't have been better timing : )

The first week back SUCKED (the school is great, the teacher is great, and Kennedy is doing great with her daddy) but I HATE IT! UGH!!

I think that moms working should be a choice, and never a necessity. It's sooo hard! I can't believe that people do this when their baby is 6-12 weeks old! WHEW! They get some serious PROPS!

I hate being gone, I hate being sooooo tired when I'm home alone with her... this first week was a little different because we are all still getting used to it, and I am getting used to going to work...

I just hope that it gets better... and I don't always hate it, because I don't think that I have a choice in the matter.... you can't have a M.S. is SpEd and not use it... maybe I can just stay home till the next baby goes to school?!?!? That will be a few years....

Nothing much here...

I'm now sick.. after Brad and Kennedy had it.. : (

I start work(student teaching) on Monday... ehh... nervous and kinda excited, not to leave Kennedy... but to get back into everything.

I'm hoping that I sound and feel better by Monday... so I don't scare my kids.

Kennedy had tired all sorts of fruits and veggies and loves them all (applesauce was a toughie, but she likes it now).

I have her going to bed 9:30-10pm now (after one night of fighting and three days of small naps) and that's nice on the front end... with me being sick... the back end sucks! UGH! Poor girl!!! She usually wakes me up, and being sick I need to shower before taking care of her (so I feel good enough to survive) and she gets sooo sad when I'm not there : (

Her daddy does a great job of keeping her occupied for 10 minutes... we shall see how well they work together next week! LOL!!

Peaches!!!!

New Year's Eve

FUN!!!
