Five Ws

[geminigirl]

What Naomi needed today-to be held, cuddled, and consoled pretty much non-stop.

What I needed today-a long nap and to not be touched.

What I got-a fifteen-ish minute nap with the baby in my arms, and lots of kicking my nipples, crying on my chest, refusing to sleep.

What I didn't do-call Cayne and ask for help while he was at work

What I'm going to do now-pump in about twenty minutes and get into bed, hopefully get some good sleep, and if needed, ask him to stay home tomorrow.

sorry you didn't get your needs met today :(

wish i were there to cuddle your baby for you

You have your own to cuddle. And Bug needs extra too. But thank you.

My needs are more along the lines of food, pills and showers these days. And showers are kind of secondary.

We did have a long tummy to tummy nap today, after I'd slept solidly through her morning nap. And she discovered today that she could move the toys on the bouncer, and got very excited. I, being her mother, cried.

You know, it's ok, when you need to, to put the kid in her crib and be by herself for a while, even if she's crying, to give yourself a break.
