Will is super cute and adorable - we often joke (in the throws of the dreaded colic) that if he wasn't so darn cute, we would have left him out on the doorstep. But adorable as he may be, my days are so LONG and so exhausting that I really am having a hard time keeping it together today. The thought that keeps running through my mind is as follows:
- Most of my friends had:
- easier deliveries; and
- easier recoveries,
- and their babies:
- cry a bit;
- fuss a bit;
- eat well;
- easily gain lots of weight; and
- sleep easily.
My delivery was horrendous, my recovery was crap, Will had colic for more than 4 months, he did not take to feeding easily, his weight gain has slowed down, he will not be put down without screaming, it takes FOREVER to get him to go to sleep and when he does, it is a whopping 20 minutes...joy.... and for the last 2 months he will not sleep through the night.
