So let’s start this post with something positive. Isabelle is so cute. I can look at her for hours. I love taking pictures of her. Now on to my frustrations.

So Isabelle is having the sucking problem again. It’s so frustrating. I don’t know what to do. Really, what to do when she’s crying and won’t suck? How do I feed her?

And I haven’t mentioned this before but the past few nights or I should say wee hours in the morning she’s been wanting to feed about every hour. I am so exhausted. I’m sitting up feeding her and about to fall over from exhaustion.

I wish I could get her to feed while I’m lying down. But I’m having a hard enough time just getting her to feed normally…lying down is out of the question. I’ve put Isabelle on normally and while she’s sucking try to lie down and she gets all fussy and starts crying, and not just crying but screaming crying.

And then I’ve missed some of my mom’s calls because I’m napping. And then she says to me I’m sleeping too much. WTF? I’m so freaking tired I could cry. Sleeping too much indeed. I could scream I’m so pissed at her stupid comments, yes comments with an S because there were numerous comments that warranted screaming at.

Aaaaah!!!!! So frustrated!

Bath time happens when you have projectile pooping onto daddy or as you’re in the process of having a clean diaper put on you pee all over yourself. Yes indeedy that’s when bath time happens.

We did something silly. I didn’t mention it before. But I’ll share it now. And who knows how many more silly mistakes we’ll make so this post is numbered 1.

Alan’s cousin got us a nice little diaper bag. So I transferred everything from my purse into it. The first outing we had with Isabelle was the day after we brought her home, to the lactation counselor. So we packed her up in her car seat and I grabbed the diaper bag. At the hospital Isabelle had peed so the lactation counselor suggested we change her before she observed a feeding. Alan looked at me, I looked at him. We didn’t pack any diapers. We had a diaper bag with not a single diaper in it. Diaper? Diaper?
