i feel like i've been doing fairly well lately with the whole jealousy thing but right now it seems like i'm in such an emotional rut...can it never be ALL good??!! (lol)
i'm so lucky that my husband loves me and cares for me and is still willing to put up with me after all this time and the problems i've had with jealousy. it makes me feel so guilty that he's so wonderful (not perfect, come on now) and i'm this hopeless case that runs around in emotional circles. i try to justify the fact that sometimes we're lucky enough to find people that can balance us out but still...
i have become more comfortable with him being around my best friend although their personalities mesh so well but now it's coming to the point where i am feeling bad or guilty that he didn't meet her first and have a baby and get married to someone who could make him even happier and treat him better. it's ridiculous, i know, to look into it that far but that's where my mind likes to take me. so frustrating!!!

I am right there with you. I am not married or anything but I feel the same way you do about a lot of things. Its so hard sometimes to stop your mind from racing to all these other possibilities that you just *know* are silly :-) I too feel guilty about making my wonderful boyfriend put up with all my jealous, possessive ways. And he does it *so* gracefully. Sigh, I guess we can only take it one day at a time and be thankful for the fact that we have amazing people in our lives to support us!

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
