She has lots of problems at the start...small but aggrevating...thrush, reflux, strep, constipation, etc. It will get better. And I just could not seem to comfort her. I thought she hated me. I can happily say, though, that she's 4 now and is an absolute doll. She's actually easier to handle than my two boys and yes, she "wubs" me. <br /><br />Hang in there...it will be worth it all :DSerendipityissweethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02971375549834680356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861091010713878656.post-27264594408830440422009-07-08T16:02:54.712-07:002009-07-08T16:02:54.712-07:00You know, I can totally relate to you in some aspe...You know, I can totally relate to you in some aspects! I'm only a mom to 1 child, so I don't know what it will be like the next time around, but my Beast was SUPER Colicky (like, 4 months) and I had a hard time a lot of times. I would feel guilty every now and then (actually, I still do) when I feel like I'm a bad mother b/c I can't figure out what in the world is wrong with her. There seems to be just a few days every now and then that she drives me absolutely NUTS. And I feel myself getting angry, upset, and feeling like a horrible mom for feeling that way. :) Anyhow, I didn't mean to ramble, but I can just relate to the whole "motherhood is tougher than you always expect" thing. :) Thanks for sharing your postpartum feelings with us!!!Montana Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12851826810092266587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861091010713878656.post-47862314521130567302009-07-08T08:30:23.615-07:002009-07-08T08:30:23.615-07:00I am really glad you posted this.

I too haven't felt the same connection with my new baby as I did with my first and have thought that my baby hates me, and a little jealous that she seems closer to her dad than me. I thought maybe it was because I ended up with a c-section this time and missed some bonding, but maybe its just what happens with a second child. With my first I would get physically sick when she cried, but this time it doesn't bother me quite as much. It is a good thing because when the baby is crying in the car there is no point in both of us crying, but it kind of makes me feel guilty that I'm not as in tune and empathetic to her as I was with my first. But now that she's smiling a bit more I am feeling a bit closer.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12146270736158297146noreply@blogger.com
