You've just had a huge life change! I still haven't found balance, and every time I think I might have the hang of it, the routine changes and I'm back to square one. I haven't been able to settle in yet!<br /><br />Tomorrow's post is about this very thing! :)<br /><br />I hear you on the topic of work. I can't write too much about it on my blog because some of my colleagues read it, but it's exhausting to work while simultaneously taking care of the babe. Even when my husband is home, or the nanny. Roscoe still needs me (and my boobs) so much. <br /><br />It's impossible to give work, house, baby, husband, pets, and self 100%. I've picked my top priorities and do the best I can. <br /><br />Everyone says it gets better...still waiting!! :)Jacqueline Searshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04091598444684936482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869714955172158774.post-70506742406026984702009-10-21T17:03:37.041-04:002009-10-21T17:03:37.041-04:00Trying to find that 'perfect' balance is a...Trying to find that 'perfect' balance is almost impossible, but you will soon find a balance that will work.

I too felt the same way but as she got bigger it got easier. Hang in there.<br /><br /> I hope the constipation goes away.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02415808903387327063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869714955172158774.post-8810320520926677552009-10-21T13:33:23.994-04:002009-10-21T13:33:23.994-04:00I know what you mean about feeling like you aren&#...I know what you mean about feeling like you aren't doing enough for anyone in the family. When I do housework I feel like I'm neglecting the baby, when I stay up with her all night I'm too tired to hang out with my hubby, and our dog JUST now got to start coming back in the house :( It'll get better... and as far as the poop thing goes - let me know how things work out. Addison STILL hasn't pooped and we're going on 5 days today. Hang in there!Opheliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09651360212514363230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869714955172158774.post-58010401320419428652009-10-21T10:58:23.229-04:002009-10-21T10:58:23.229-04:00i think the prune juice is the trick! do not feel ...i think the prune juice is the trick! do not feel like a bad mommy!! that happens to babies all the time!!Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17773608422571911723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869714955172158774.post-5470572492046071802009-10-21T08:37:14.645-04:002009-10-21T08:37:14.645-04:00You aren't a bad mother- this happens to LOTS ...You aren't a bad mother- this happens to LOTS of babies. Chatham went through this and our pedi said to give him Pedi-alax.<br />On the box it says for ages 2-5, so our pedi said to give him a 1/4 of a dose. It is a rectal inserted tube (it comes with "gel" on it; but I added more vasaline just to be safe)<br />It helped A LOT!!! <br />I would ask your pedi if that would be something worth trying. I found it next to the bandaids at our Target.<br />Hope he gets well soonThe Donley'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00484147787089154965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869714955172158774.post-47246641808364722222009-10-21T08:31:49.740-04:002009-10-21T08:31:49.740-04:00You aren't a bad mother, and I think every new...You aren't a bad mother, and I think every new mom goes through this especially early on. I think it's tough to try to work and do everything around the house, so you are always tired and irritable. :) It will get better!Rachel H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09461830604980230924noreply@blogger.com
