so, both babies are now at home...but it's more frustrating than ever! only cuz i cannot do alot of stuff that i want to do for them...
and now, the baby is crying and not wanting to eat, and hubby had to run to the airport to pick up his brother, so there's only me and him, and he's still crying...i finally had to push the high chair away from me and not try to feed him anymore as i could feel the anger and frustration getting to me...
not that i would ever do anything to hurt my babies, but i can see how some people lose it...and those are "normal" people with two "normal" legs who can walk and stuff...
i think that's where part of my frustration is coming from...that i cannot just get up and make him more food...i mean, i can, but its tiring ...
well, i guess i'll try to feed him more...wish me luck!

well, both of my babies are now at home with us...
it's still rough, especially on my husband, but...he's been such a trooper through all of this...
i still get frustrated that there is alot that i cannot do for my boys...mostly when they want to play, but i cannot...no energy, or i just cannot do it...get on the ground and play toys with them...etc...
but all in all, i'm just happy that the baby is now at home where he belongs...in time for his first birthday, too!
whoo hoo!

Add your supportwhoo hoo! we are bringing my baby home tomorrow! he's been at my mom's house for about 5 months, since i had my stroke...we feel we are able to take care of him...well, of course, my husband will be doing the majority of the taking care part but i am hoping that i can at least contribute some...like feeding him...stuff like that...
it's going to be hard and a challenge, since he's mobile now, and will not understand to get out of MY way when i am walking...at least with my older son, we can kinda tell him "mommy's coming" and he makes way for me...but with the baby...(he'll turn one on april 4th!)...i will just have to avoid running over him, i guess...
now will be the challenge of trying to still find time to do my exercises from rehab (since i will be on another "break" while i wait for insurance to authorize another set of OT and PT for me...
wish us luck! we are going to need it!

Oh,Eileen, I'm so happy for you! Yeah, just do what you have to do and get around the baby; I'm sure you'll be fine and so will the baby- you will learn to interact I'm sure of it. Don't worry about it too much, luv! Keep praying and believe, and you'll be just fine. We,mothers usually have good reflexes/intuition around our kids so I'm confident everything will be just fine sweetie. All the baby needs is his mommy and your love!Take care,sweetie and enjoy the baby's homecoming!

Aw, Eileen, hang in there, please. . . I totally understand and cam relate with you. Please don't give up; it will get better, eventually, Sweetie. I know you feel very helpless right now, but, with time and practice, things will get better. . .just keep loving those babies is what's most important, and being there for them.

thanks annie! doing a lot better now...still feel bad sometimes that i cannot do certain things with them, like run...lay down on the floor and play with them...even sit on the floor to play with them...but...i have to remind myself that i am still here and CAN play with them...
thanks again!
