And, I can promise you, although we all hate to admit it, you are not the only one who has felt feelings of resentment toward their screaming child. Hang in there. It will get better. I promise!

I remember holding my crying newborn, while I was crying, and would cry to my husband "Have fun at work!" I guess third time is a charm because you nailed it when you said CJ is a chiller. He's a gentle Buddha.

If only you could understand what everyone thinks of you. I think you would be overwhelmed by it. You certainly have been given you fair - or unfair - share of burden. I'm not going to say "hang in there" or "this too shall pass" - I'm just going to say "LOVE YOU" and then I'm going to pray for you.Brookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13458323668019172553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213499219669709454.post-42812236649299550482009-04-02T08:18:00.000-07:002009-04-02T08:18:00.000-07:00So sorry.

So I always got a break at some point. Wish I could help you. Hang in there. I know I always say this, but... Eventually they go school.

I seriously would have been an alcoholic if I weren't LDS with my second. There is a reason there is such a big break between number two and three. I keep praying for you. I wish I could come take her for a few hours to give you a break, but I can't so I just keep praying.

Remembering the first 8 weeks it what truly makes it hard to think about having another. And lots of time taking care of them 24 hours a day feels like a thankless job. If it helps, know that all of us out here know what an amazing thing you are doing! And I think it is so normal to feel what you are feeling. This too shall pass! I dont remember where you are living right now. i think it utah. IF you need me to drive down one day and help you let me know. I swear I will come. I think moms needs all the support they can get in those first few months. you havem y email if you need anything.

It seems those first few months can be brutal and I think you are actually doing quite well. You may not feel like you are...but you will triumph! (I'm saying this with one hand in the air..ya know Rocky style:) Good luck with that little lady and I wish I could come babysit while you have a nap...wish we were closer. One thing I remember not doing is asking for help...call someone you trust and just ask them to come over for an hour...it'll make life so much better.

I hope things get better soon. But I have an idea. Let me pick up Caleb for the party next Friday and please, please call me this week or just send me an e-mail and tell me when I can come by and give you a hand. I will have my mom watch my kids.

When Bridger was not breathing on his own, he made NO noise, not even a wimper and I wanted no loathed for him to CRY a big CRY one I could hear down the hall. The kind that would send you running to see what was the matter. Well that did not happen. I kept praying for those little lungs to work, and you know what, they do. Usually at the most inopertune times, but I prayed for them to work and I am greatful that my prayers were answeres. Just remember that one day, you too will be looking at Leah sitting quietly coloring or playing with her cabbage patch kid, and think "I used to thing you would NEVER be so quiet!" Please remember we are here for you thinking about you and praying for you.

I ...oh lynsey, that is so what I needed to hear!!! I mean not the part about you having a hard time, but the part about how we need to give them the love that they need and that we signed up for this...even though some days I wonder why I did sign up for it. Some days I hate being a mom (I know.....not good), and I find myself being selfish a lot of the time just so I can try to make myself feel better and get over all this anxiety and depression, but right now the kids just aren't exactly helping. I actually think they make it worse. But I need to focus on the right things and let my kids know how much I do love them. Good luck...I hope you find something that helps this time around.

It should be so easy....so natural.....why is it so hard then? I'm glad you have a long-term perspective as those few months of hard can seem like an eternity.
