    Hi Lisa, how are you? Me? Horrible. I put a post under the infertility "Heartbroken". It is another chemical for me. I was wondering if you could suggest a Dr. or know of any tests I should ask for. You know so much about this. I hope you and family are great. I just can't stop crying.

    You're welcome. Don't worry about repaying - pay it forward :) Some people came to bring gifts and help me out when Laza was little so I know how much that means. Now we're in good shape and you'll be too. No sleep is no fun but things do get better. Well not with us but they do with majority of babies. Even Laza slept 5 and 7 hour stretches at some point, he just reverted since. But I came to believe he's unique in that - definitely most kids go from waking 5-6 times to 1-2 to sleeping through the night at around 4 months. Digestive problems go away too then and breastfeeding becomes way easier after first month or so. And you get used to little sleep and you read cues much better. So just go with the flow, I remember you're good at this and every day it will get better and better.

    So cool that your family is coming to visit! Enjoy!


  • I'm With You

    hey lissa, nice to see you and Dean and Kent the other day. Dean is so adorable!! What you're feeling is pretty normal - I felt awful first 10 days - scared and a little depressed and hyperactive and exhilarated all at the same time. I also was scared to stay home with the baby alone. This all gets better in time. You are learning to be a mommy and he is learning to live outside your tummy. In a few weeks you'll feel more like a pro, and in a few months you will be a pro :) But make sure to take time for yourself even if it's for an hour since it's easy to burn out. And do call me if you need anything. Laza and I can come and keep you company. I should have a week of paid family leave at the end of November and can go visiting :)

    My little man is one cranky baby... unless he is sleeping. We have put Mylican in his bottle for gas and that helps alot. I also feel the same way you do ,, Joseph leaves for months at a time and he leaves next week til x-mas than in Jan. he will be gone til April. Maybe we should exchange numbers soon,, so we have some support. I also have NO family here in Montana everyone is back in Mi. Our hormones are out of whack so I know what you are going through because I am still going through it. xoxoxoxo Nicole

    Awww Sweetie,, I also cried over everything and Joseph told me to make an appointment but I held out and figured I have to make my self feel better. It took a few day's but I feel pretty good now. It is very overwhelming becomming a new mommy. Dont feel bad about asking for help and try to take an hour or so a day just for yourself,, it will help :) I am thinking of you my friend :)

    Hi sweetie,, Checking in to see how you are holding up? Being a new mommy is hard isnt. Landin is 54 days old now and still a handful. I am still lacking sleep but he does about 5 hour's after the 3am feeding. He is just starting to laugh and smile,, he doesnt laugh or smile at us yet,, it is just something he is learning. Hasnt put 2& 2 together yet. I hope you are doing good. :)
