Thank you, Erin, for the HOPE in your comment on the previous post. After I wrote the previous post, I debated deleting it. I didn't want it to come across the wrong way.
But a couple of hours later - I was reminded of many things that brought me hope.
- It's a "season"! It will pass!!!
- Sophie is so good now. She hasn't always been! It's hard to imagine that Halle may be that good someday. :D And she will!
- Ian is a baby. In a year, he'll be running with them.
- I won't be nursing forever.
- They'll eventually all 3 be managable to care for by the grandmas.
- We'll have lots of kids by our sides as we grow old.
- They'll give me grandbabies!
- I am blessed with 3 healthy, beautiful kids!
Thank you, Erin, for reminding me of the good when I am too tired to remember. I love you!
I'm glad you didn't delete the previous post. Although I just have one baby to contend with (Alex can pretty much take care of himself compared to Max!), it's still overwhelming, so it's good to hear honest opinions from others. Not everything about parenting is wonderful, so it bugs me when people pretend that it is.
ReplyDeleteI only have 2 and some days feel like I can't handle them!!!! I hear the word "Mom" literally a thousand times a day!! It is comforting to know other moms are going thru the same thing and it isn't all hunky dory for all! It makes me feel more "normal" knowing others feel like I do! You are a super mom!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't comment on having three, but I am a little nervous about three. I was not nervous at all about having two. I am most worried about keeping all three kids safe and keeping track of them all! I have a hard enough time with two at a park... I can't imagine three. But, I do have to say that you are also at a "hard" baby age. Babies get really demanding from age 3 months to about 6 months. Once they can sit up and play, then can entertain themselves a little longer. Even though Carson was a really easy baby, he was really demanding at 4 months. Like I said, I can't really comment since I only have two. I felt like Carson was really easy his first few months, then needed a lot of attention for a few months, and then got easier, then harder, then easier... :) I guess it never ends, does it? :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so sweet, Myah. I only pray that you will be there when I am am at your stage... in about 5 months... reminding me that there is HOPE and that this stage isn't going to last forever (in my foggy sleepless haze). I know when you are going through it that it seems like it will last forever!
ReplyDeleteLove you, too :)
