One Hour.

That’s how much she cried tonight. One hour straight.  Certainly an upgrade from the night before when she cried for two hours, on and off.  It is amazing how now, whenever I hear any sort of peep from her, immediately I get a burning in my heart and my stomach becomes nauseous.

Was it this hard with Morgan?  Honestly, I do not think so, nor do I remember.  But it is certainly hard now.  Every time I hear her screaming I see this:
Shelby Smile (7wks)

and remember she’s doing this:
Crying Belly Shot (1mo)

and suddenly I feel like I am the 100%, absolute, WORST mother in the world. 

I know I’m not.  After all, I’ve had half a dozen friends and my mom/sis tell me that over and over today.  Its just hard. 

But tomorrow is a new day.  And the goal is: Not to get this girl overtired because when that happens…..all heck breaks loose!

Oh Sarah, you are a wonderful mom! Motherhood is tough work and unpredictable work. Today was a bad day in this household as well, you are so not alone. Just take it one day at a time, you are doing great. Hang in there, better days are ahead!
