But somehow, things get better after that. I hope you have some help and support to get you through this very exhausting time.

I used to say that I was going to just leave him outside (I would never, but it was HARD!!). As with everyone's comments it does get easier and then you get your first true smile and head turn when you talk and every single second of struggle was worth it!! <br />Keep up the great work and I hope the thrush is gone!Naomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08798428506663807057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818684193774187893.post-20525001173433326582010-03-05T23:45:27.520-05:002010-03-05T23:45:27.520-05:00Local fire hall...lol I never thought of that.

It has changed our lives these past (not even) 24 hours.<br />The other day I decided to vacuum.

The reassurance I also received was if we were all alive at the end of the day and the babies were fed and clean (I didn't really matter on these 2 fronts) then we were a success. Being honest with how you feel is great. It'll help someone else who feels the same way.This Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14043809910070633184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818684193774187893.post-19766371364232341072010-03-05T14:19:47.106-05:002010-03-05T14:19:47.106-05:00aw, he's so cute!! you are right about it bein...aw, he's so cute!! you are right about it being survival mode at this point. it will get easier, i promise. hang in there mama!anofferingoflovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14787985680863798995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818684193774187893.post-27150962497734511412010-03-05T12:57:36.389-05:002010-03-05T12:57:36.389-05:00He's a sweetie.
