I adore my girls, I would lay down in front of a train to save them but I am so bad with babies. <br /><br />I love my newborns but I am not "good" at them. I never know what their cries mean. I don't know what to do with them so I have to just run the gamut of tasks until we (hopefully) find one that works. I'd like to have another child but I think about that first year and I cringe. I don't think it makes me a bad mom though b/c I've found several other mothers that I really admire who felt the same way. It was such a validation for me! =)<br /> <br />Our second is a joy and a delight but was also the hardest baby in the entire wide world and galaxy and universe. ;) I like to think it means she will be an easy teenager.<br /><br />Keep your eyes on the calendar and remember that she will be bigger soon. You'll have such fun once she's able to communicate and party with her big sis!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2643453439288801126.post-18055995359802765652014-02-17T00:31:20.230-05:002014-02-17T00:31:20.230-05:00Seriously girl, you're not alone. I'm rig...Seriously girl, you're not alone. I'm right there with you. I pray every day Jacob will wake up and suddenly be four because I'm done with diapers and crying and the clingy, attached to me thing. I struggle with the guilt and just knowing too that I'm wired differently and that it's okay. <br /><br />I can't say anything to make you feel better - but you're not the only mom girl.
