OH Bev! I have so been there done that! I had a house full of sick kids and a husband for over a week now. My little Abby (5months)got her first cold, and all the others were running fevers etc. It was terribble. One minute she wanted me the next daddy! Same with my two year old. It does pass! I hope you are all well now!

I thought I was the only one still getting plugged ducts at 9 months. I had a terrible one about a month ago which also happened to correspond with the one day Kelsie wasn't hungry when I got home from work and she head butted me right in the boob when I was trying to get her to eat. Luckily my husband wasn't sick so when he heard me cyring hysterically he came and got her.

Yes, when your child is in day care/full time babysitter they can get attached and it hurts. Your blessed you have your Mom to take care of her and not send her to day care. She know who her Mommy is, she just spends more time with Grandma so seperating from her at the end of the day may be hard sometimes.

I love your blog and feel your pain! My 13-month-old has days when she only wants Daddy. It's heartbreaking, but she always comes back to me:-)! I hope today was better for you.

Poor thing - hope everyone feels better soon! I've had a couple of clogged ducts and they aren't any fun! Hang in there!

Thanks for such an honest post about motherhood......

Thanks for such an honest post about motherhood... It was refreshing to read. I'm sure today will be better! :)

I just found your blog through a friend and I LOVE it. My daughter, Evie, is two weeks younger than Lucy. Motherhood is pretty crazy. I have been blogging for a few months and have found it a great way to document our life. You will be one of my new stops! Great blog! Hope you get some sleep tonight and that tomorrow will be a better day for you.

2009-10-06T17:46:42.292-07:00

I had a bad day yesterday, but not like that! Poor girl, I haven't gotten a blocked duct yet but it sounds awful. I hated that realization with DD, she's so on the go now that snuggling with Mommy isn't so appealing. They grow faster than we're ready for, but if we had our say they rarely would! I hope everyone feels better and that you stay healthy.

2009-10-06T13:08:44.555-07:00

My baby is only a couple of months older than Lucy, and I am about to go back to work. When I read about you not getting home until 7pm, and then her basically going right to bed, it makes me sad. Is it really like that every night? Hardly any time with your sweetheart? Tell me you have some wise words for me about going back to work!

2009-10-06T11:53:26.858-07:00

That was about the age that my son started to want nothing to do with me. Every time I went to pick him up, it was all about Da Da. It was nice though to see him finally wanting DH to hold him instead of me(don't get me wrong, it totally broke my heart, but I knew that day would come sooner or later).

Babies are fickle, fickle creatures!

2009-10-06T08:50:53.767-07:00

Hi there. I have been reading your blog since we were both TTC. I have never commented before but wanted to offer some encouragement. My daughter cries everytime we take her from the daycare providers arms. She is a sweet young girl who showers our daughter with attention every second. At first, it did hurt my feelings but I feel SO much better during the day because I know she is loving every second of it. Also, once she discovered she could push the exit button when we left it got much better :) From mom to mom, hang in there. Babies are very fickle! (Also I quit nursing when my baby lost interest)

First off, breathe. Now, go to sleep, if you can.

With an almost 4 year old and a 9 month old I've had planty of those days, in fact had quite a doozy this morning! When all else fails and it feels like everything is stacked against you, laugh. I know it sounds crazy but it's the only thing that keeps me sane when my son spills chocolate milk on my dry cleaning, I realize I just ran out of mascara, the baby just threw up into my new heels, the car needs gas and I'm already 20 minutes late for work...

She adores you and that's all that really matters. They go through these crazy jags of "I must have mommy," and then switch it around and do the same thing for Dad. I'm sorry about the blocked duct.... Those hurt like hell and hopefully you were able to clear it. Keep your head up! You are an awesome Mommy!!!!

I drink lots of wine...actually 2 glasses, but it feels like lots! I'm not nursing though...rough day. I hope today is better!

Does Rob have H1N1? He sounds like he has the symptoms that my son had and sure enough my son was confirmed with H1N1.

2009-10-06T06:55:11.266-07:00

It's actually a good thing that she is connecting to other loved ones in your life--kind of takes the pressure off of you a little bit. It's can be a huge blessing but also tricky when a grandparent takes on a role as primary caregiver to your child--it's easy for them to forget that you're the actual parent and easy for the baby to get confused about who sometimes is who because your mom must seem so much like you to her.

2009-10-06T06:31:48.652-07:00

I am so dreading the day that my little girl favors daddy over me. I'm loving my mommy time! (She's 8 weeks today)

Glad to hear things improved a bit and hopefully you'll all feel better soon!

2009-10-06T06:17:04.022-07:00

You poor thing! I don't think you're being melodramatic, when everything is going to pieces all at once it feels overwhelming and awful, which is completely and absolutely understandable.

And this? "It's a constant thing with my mother, I am always doing something wrong."

I so get it. We're expecting our first and that's been the general feeling my whole life from my mother, so I'm just waiting to see how it works once our little one arrives . . . I'm sure she'll have something to say about everything *I* do . . . Just the whole experience of being pregnant (this is my third time round and the first time all is working well . . . ) has raised all kinds of conflict between us. Sigh. I try to chalk it up to good learning about how NOT to be with my own daughter!

Hang in there! :)

2009-10-06T06:08:08.845-07:00

You know what? Lucy is always going to need you. Always. I'm 30 years old and I still need my mom. :)

Hang in there. I hope things go better today!
