Last night was rough. I started out trying to sleep with Kailee in the bed and having Madelynn in the bassinet next to me. Well, Madelynn kept waking up and at one point, she woke Kailee up. So, after Kailee went back to sleep, I decided I better trade rooms with Moma. So I moved into Kailee's room and Moma laid down with Kailee. Madelynn proceeded to wake up several times. I think her tummy may have been bothering her cause she had 2 NASTY diapers in a short period of time. Needless to say, I didn't sleep last night.
I had an emotional breakdown today. I feel soooooo guilty because Kailee isn't getting the attention she is used to. She cried a few times today cause she wanted me to herself. I tried to lay down for a nap with Madelynn but Kailee came in there and said she wanted Madelynn out of HER bed. So Moma took Madelynn and Kailee laid down with me. I cried. Please pray Kailee will adjust quickly and somehow it will register with me that this is all part of the process.
I'm still pretty sore and I'm having a hard time 'taking it easy'. Kailee doesn't understand that she can't climb all over me so I'm just waiting to bust a stitch (in my belly). HAHA!
I will eventually post the whole 'birth story' but right now, I must go.
Send up lots of prayers for us.
Thanks!
New picture for y'all........
9 folks had something to say.:
Aww! Is that a smile???
I'm sorry the transition isn't going too well for Kailee and you yet. It will get better, I know it will. Just remember that although your attention may be divided now, your love has multiplied. Kailee will understand soon.
She's precious Erika....I'm praying for the whole adjustment thing for you guys. I promise it will get better. I've been there. Love ya
I will pray too. I love you very much and look forward to seeing you guys soon.
I'm praying!
She's soooo cuuuute!!
Love ya!
I always tried to catch a sleeping smile. I never caught one good enough. That pic is AWESOME!!
I agree with Wendy that is an awesome picture. Kailee will get better with the adjusting. She is just used to being your baby, but like Rachel she will understand and the two girls will be buddies.
I have been there,done that.It will get easier.Seth was the same way after we brought Caleb home.At times Seth was telling me to take Caleb back.I didnt take Caleb back and Seth got used to Caleb and they become best buddies.It will all get better sooner than you think.I love the pic of little Madelynn,it is sweet.
Awwww, that picture is too precious. Will be praying for you and Kaylee. TAKE IT EASY WHILE YOU CAN!!!! The more healing you get done before your Mom leaves the better off you and your whole little family will be.
oh, Erika, look how pretty she is..and smiling already..you are very blessed....love from idaho
