Hallelujah!), but I was blessed with a pretty easy going baby. Even in her easy going-ness, I've had moments where I thought I'd lose my mind like you described above. The one thing that hit me out of nowhere was the postpartum hormones+sleep deprivation. You would think that God would find a way to fix that and not make you crazy when caring for a completely helpless human being. When Ty left, I definitely had moments where I accidentally let her cry herself to sleep because I literally could not handle holding her bc I was so upset. I knew she was safe in her crib, and I knew nobody would hurt her there. The best thing advice anyone ever gave me was to put the baby down when I started to feel "unhinged." I don't feel like I normally get angry very quickly, but postpartum hormones + sleep deprivation changed that for me. :P Not sure if she's a good sleeper bc God made it that way bc neither of us would survive Ty's deployment if she wasn't. <br /><br />But you're right. Parenthood is the worst and the best all at once. I'm a worrier and I'm constantly looking at our baby monitor to make sure she's breathing. I always wonder if I gave her some mental disability if I didn't place her gently enough on her changing mat. Am I not reading her enough books? She watched 3 minutes of TV, is she gonna develop ADD?? I seriously think like this all day everyday. I guess at the end of the day, she loves me, and I love her and thats all that matters. <br /><br />Love the pictures :) <3 Glad everything is going well!Mrs. Boojwahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15059410140235515537noreply@blogger.com
