Summer Blog Challenge, Day 5
Today’s challenge is to share my short term goals this month and why I have those goals. Find out the baby’s gender and start getting room decor ready! Why? Because I am always overly prepared… I will be almost 19 weeks when we find out the gender, that’s almost halfway through my pregnancy! When I was pregnant with Boogie I had her room ready at 33 weeks, but the decor was ready way before that. This little one won’t have his/her own room yet, but a section of our room will be dedicated to Sissy or Bubby. I want to take the same time and effort we did with Boogie’s…

What A Roller Coaster…
Nothing is more frustrating than when your child won’t sleep. This is something we have struggled with from the beginning. Sure, we’ve had our good nights, we’ve even had one night in the past few weeks when Boogie slept 8 hours straight (that was a WONDERFUL night)! I debated on whether I should even post this because it seems like anytime I mention sleep issues with someone (even our pediatrician) their immediate response is “Oh, just let her CIO, she’ll be fine!” or “you’re spoiling her by going to her when she cries” or even “stop nursing her so much and maybe she’ll sleep!”. No offense to anyone, but that’s…

Poop Happens.
Yea, I said poop. I don’t curse, otherwise I’d say something else! I have never been more sick of changing poopy nasty diapers than this week… I have even been tempted to just go buy a box of disposables until this tummy thing is OVER! But I KNOW that those sposies would never hold all this poo like her cloth do. Ay yi yi. I have gone through more cloth this week than when Boogie was a newborn… I’ve washed 4 loads of diapers already this week…. and on a normal week I’d have just now washed a 3rd load…. but today. I’ll be washing the 5th load. Ew. What’s…

Too Much Going On!
I hate nights like these when I’m absolutely exhausted, but I just can’t seem to get my brain to shut off long enough to drift to sleep. There’s so many life changing events that are kind of up in the air at the moment, we’re not sure how everything will pan out so that has left me a wee bit stressed out… among other things. I am constantly thinking about the possibility of moving and how it might affect Boogie… we’ve struggled with getting her to sleep in her own room, so I wonder if moving into a new home with a new room in an unfamiliar place will throw…

Dear Boogie…
Dear Boogie, I love you. You’re beautiful…. but please for goodness sakes STOP SCREAMING AT ME! You’re okay. Mommy is two feet away on the other side of the gate. I’m doing laundry. YOUR laundry. I’m washing the diapers and your onsies, and your pants and socks and all the little pieces of clothing you dirty up on a daily basis. You can also stop following me into the bathroom every time I have to pee. It’s okay for mommy to pee ALONE. Seriously… it’s okay for mommy to step away for two seconds to have some alone time, it’s okay to sit and play with your toys while mommy…
