Your plan as we talked about is going to work. LIke others havde truthfuly said, its being a normal mother and baby. Preparing you for things to come, making you confident in your right choices. This may not seem like a bonding time but you will remember it forever.AZ countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11291070321995200689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6176819118574225816.post-60224593064460197442010-12-01T18:33:14.425-08:002010-12-01T18:33:14.425-08:00Oh Faith!

Wouldn't we all be exhausted and begging for this to end if it were one of us. No matter how long you wait and pray for a baby, this is a lot to handle. I will be praying that this ends right away.

It will pass. <br /><br />In my opinion, most (if not all) of the "not so happy times" you are experiencing with him can stem from his acid reflux. Give it time and let the Zantac work. Your happy little buddy will return...soon. <br /><br />Take a deep breath and just love him.<br />Misty<br /><br />FYI: I just found your blog..I am not sure how.Mistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01760108278714521276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6176819118574225816.post-78471521920040407752010-11-30T20:38:11.401-08:002010-11-30T20:38:11.401-08:00I am so sorry.

A few weeks later he was switched to prevacid and we were advised to put cereal in his bottles. The Prevacid, along with extra thick cereal bottles (especially at night) all but CURED him! The thick cereal bottles practically stopped the projectile vomiting. He was a much happier baby after that. By the time he was 9 months old, we were able to stop the prevacid, but was encouraged(by our pediatrician) to continue the cereal bottles at night. It made all the difference in the world! At first, I used rice cereal (just made the hole in the bottle a little bigger). Then a few weeks later, I switched him to oatmeal. A few weeks after that, I used the oatmeal with apples & bananas. <br />My friend's son is almost 5 months old. He's been taking cereal bottles since he was 3 months old as well for the vomiting. It stopped his without having to go on medication.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6176819118574225816.post-7097469222419845652010-11-30T13:29:37.277-08:002010-11-30T13:29:37.277-08:00Hi

It is expensive, but he is a new baby. He does not have any of the issues he had before.<br />Hope this helps! I know how she was feeling when she was going through this and my heart goes out to you, because she was a complete mess (not in a mean way).<br />Good luck and I hope you get back to having the baby you had before and being the mommy you want to be!kkasunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02183334533316759163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6176819118574225816.post-9719153996062904862010-11-30T13:20:29.254-08:002010-11-30T13:20:29.254-08:00Does he take a pacifier?

Sounds like colic to me. And don't think we ever think that you don't love and adore your son. We KNOW you DO! Caleb had colic and would cry nonstop. No sleep. Constant crying. I loved him, but didn't like him very much at that time. I guess thats what parenthood is. Love always. Sometimes you like them. Sometimes not. But always love. And that will never change...Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11580849302049323984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6176819118574225816.post-47198317635012324812010-11-30T13:20:00.086-08:002010-11-30T13:20:00.086-08:00Faith I am so glad you shared because I knnow that...Faith I am so glad you shared because I knnow that feeling you love youe child no words descibre how much but there are those moments when it is so hard ...but you feel ungrateful for not loving every second and its a viscious cycle I still struggle with anytime I am not being perfect carol brady type mama...<br /><br />That being said prayers sent your way for Jackson to feel better and return to his happy days because I know by God answering that prayer you will have your happy times again too!Just Believinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02209860792709070040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6176819118574225816.post-19456735184201223972010-11-30T12:26:51.490-08:002010-11-30T12:26:51.490-08:00Faith.. I'm sorry. =(
I'm sorry that it ...Faith.. I'm sorry. =( <br /><br />I'm sorry that it is really tough right now for you and your DH. I cant exactly compare my situation at all to yours at the moment because my baby is still in the womb.. but I will probably be writing a very similiar post to this in the very near future when my son is up and screaming and I want to just crawl in a hole and hide from the universe. <br /><br />Please dont EVER worry that people will think that just because you are having a rough patch as a mommy that you do not love or appreciate Jackson. NOBODY thinks that. If they do.. they've never been around new babies long enough to understand how difficult the day-in and day-out responsibility can really wear on you! I sensed from your post that you are worried that readers will judge you because you are having a hard time.. and that's really not the case at all. So, please dont add that extra worry onto yourself. You dont need that!<br /><br />I WILL be praying for you and Jackson and your husband. If God is capable of helping me through my panic attacks and suicidal thoughts just weeks ago.. then He is MORE than capable of helping you through this time of stress. <br /><br />Hang in there sweet girl. This too shall pass. You will write another "happy" post soon I am sure of it.. = )<br /><br />(((((((BIG HUGS))))))))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6176819118574225816.post-61700340491864200242010-11-30T12:02:42.774-08:002010-11-30T12:02:42.774-08:00Oh Faith!

I expected to always feel happy and glad to have her even if times were tough, but reality was very different. Sleepless nights, failure to gain weight, vomiting every night, etc. And then on top of it all, I feel guilty complaining because others are wishing for a baby. And it makes me feel like a bad mom.
