I'm having a rough day today. I don't know what's wrong with me. I feel really depressed and overwhelmed all the sudden. Maybe it's just the moving and everything piling up. Ds was fighting going down for a nap and I got so frustrated and exhausted. I didn't like the way I was feeling so I put him in him crib and had to walk away and let him cry in there. Now I feel like the worst mom for feeling that way. I just want to crawl in bed and never come out.
renbee Take it easy on yourself. Sometimes stepping away and taking a breath is what is best for everyone. I hope your day gets better and you have a chance to relax. You deserve it.
Formula mamas - since we are switching over to all formula pretty soon, I'm looking at trying the up and up brand from Target of the one comparable to Similac Sensitive. Should I buy a smaller one and mix them so she gets used to it? Or is the transition pretty easy? Depends on the babe?
That's exactly what I did - I bought a small container of the Up&Up and did half and half for a few days, 2/3 Up&Up for a few days, etc. We didn't have issues. I had no problem switching DS2 to the Up&Up either.
Hugs, renbee. I think we all feel that way at times, and it's totally ok. You handled it perfectly! Please don't be so hard on yourself. You are doing a great job!
renbee, you did exactly what a good mom does in that situation, it was the right thing to do for both of you. Great job on being an awesome mom! We all have hard days, and knowing when you hit that line, that all mom's hit, and taking action to do what you need to do to be there for your baby past that moment is a good thing.

Varies on the baby. My toddler got used to the up and up brand and wouldn't drink anything else. My baby will take any brand of the "gentle" formula with no trouble!
renbee, I'm sorry. I've definitely had moments/days like that. Try to make sure you getva little "you time" even if it's 20min to shower uninterrupted.

I had a moment like this last week. I had to have a talk with my H and tell him he has to help more. Everything was becoming too much. Small acts of self care also help.
I asked DH if he could watch one or both kids while I went to the grocery store last night. He decided it should be a family thing, so I got to bring both kids and DH. Seriously? Just let me have a minute.
I hate insurance billing. We've met our out of pocket max and still have to pay about $1000. Apparently things are ineligible to be applied to our out of pocket max. For example, M had a blood test done. The test was covered but the $40 heel stick was not. I guess you can have the blood test, just without the blood.

I hate when H decides to make a grocery store run or Target trip a family thing. No!

We were up all night last night with the baby and I have strep. H took the kids to his parents, so I'm excited for a quiet night tonight and day tomorrow.
I don't like it that so many of us aren't feeling well. I hope you all are on the mend, None, graybaby, @pennygirl2013, and wineallthetime. Sending healthy vibes your way.
Yay for a smooth flight! I hope the rest of your trip is just as good. How long are you staying? Where are you staying, btw (general area, not looking to skin suit!)?
DH is gone all day today from 5am-7pm. M is trying so hard to crawl. My kids learn all of their new skills when DH is gone and I have to pretend it hasn't happened yet. I'm not a good liar.
