new and feeling stressed
| Sun, 04-24-2005 - 1:57pm |
I usually post on another board, but thought this one might be of more help. My son is 4 months old...I stay at home with him. Lately I'm just feeling like I have another attachment (son)...I love being at home but it is getting to be a lot. I just am almost jelous of my husband...I feel like my world has been turned upside down and his has stayed pretty normal. Our son has some special needs and so we really are unable at this time to leave him with anyone to babysit and therefore I get VERY LITTLE time to myself. He even eats differently and so I'm really the only one who feeds him...so even if I do go I have to be back in 2 hours for his feeding. I just wanted to know if anyone else felt like this. My husband was very helpful and 1st and he still is a bit...but in the wrong ways. We talked about it, I told him that it isn't the housework that I need help with all the time, sometimes it is just that I need help with our son-so I can do the house work, get out...

Katie, I think those first months are the hardest! Lindsey was bf and we didn't have any relatives close by so I was pretty stuck, I got by with taking walks don't know if you can do that or not. And the women on the June board kept me sane lol.
Katie, I am so sorry for your feelings and stress! My first born were preemie twins, and one of them seemed to have an incredible case of reflux, dh and I were the only ones who were around to care for them. We would feed Zack and then he would projectile vomit across the room, as we were feeding Andrew, then Zack would need to be refed and by the time his slow process was over I had about an hour and it was time to feed Andrew again. Zack would puke and puke, he would throw up black garbage, I went to Dr after dr after specialist and finally at the age of 3 years we found out he had something called Hirschsprung's disease, basically it meant he could NOT have a bowel movement due to the lack of nerve endings and muscles to compact it to fit out of his bowels. He lived on enemas and laxatives before diagnosed, just to get liquid out. Finally 4 surgeries later and he can go to the toilet, but still has
