It is true the first year of daycare brings an illness a month. Exactly 1 month ago Emma was sick and now she's sick ago. As my mom loves to say "she'll be all ready for kindergarten". Of course she has to stay home from daycare tomorrow (at dr suggestion bc of the fever) and i can't stay home with her. At least DH can be with her.
DS had an epic meltdown today over his puffs. For some reason when he eats, he shoves everything into his mouth as fast as he can. I guess he shoved like 6 puffs in his mouth at once so DH pulled one out. DS lost it. I mean full on tantrum. He threw his head down on his high chair and sobbed with huge fat tears. I know I shouldn't laugh when he's upset but it was so ridiculous I couldn't help myself.
Ladies that have started weaning, did anything help you with your emotions?
I'm having a tough time pumping again today and I am just so over the rollercoaster that is my pumping lyfe. I'm going to buy some formula on my lunch break so I'm not stressing the fuck out about pumping all day.
I don't want to wean, but I want some of me back. I feel like everything thing I do is for J and I don't really exist as a person anymore. Does that make sense? I'm hoping that by starting with just having formula at home I can help relieve some of the pressure I put on myself. But it still feels like defeat and that's fucked up. I should be able to want things for myself now, too.
You need to do what's best for you before you can take care of someone else. If that means exchanging the pumping lyfe for a happy healthy relaxed you, great. I hate the guilt and/or pressure that we all put on ourselves or that we think others (real or imagined) put on us. There are days and situations that I have to take a step back and do what's best for me (and push out any guilt) because I know that that will allow me to be a better mother in the long run.

And so it begins... I'd have a hard time not laughing too..especially when they are so little.

Yes! DS has had what feels like a bazillion little colds since he's started daycare. Everyone always says that crap about building up immunity but it feels scary and sad every time M gets sick.

That's probably about right. Our older son was sick so much but most times it was a cold. But I have no way to know what he still would have gotten if not in daycare (i.e. Going to stores, the library, etc). Our baby is on his 4th ear infection but he had his first before starting daycare.

I hate when people say that! it seems like complete and utter bullshit. The last time I go well I have the same cold so I guess I'm building up my immunity too. PPFFFTT

It annoys me too...especially since a 7 month old can't tell me what hurts and how she feels. I just have to hope the cold doesn't become more.
