This is my first Not Me Monday post. Thanks to MckMomma for organizing this theraputic contest where we can be brutally honest about what we did not do this past week.This week I did not avoid houswork like the plague. I did not see the cat hair on the rug and sofa yet convince myself that I did not need to vacuum.
I did not freak out when I learned that the new hypoalergenic formula cost twice what my baby's other formula cost. I also did not look at my husband with discontent when after he insisted that we buy the "other" brand, and Izzie would not take it. $30 down the drain. (literally)
I did not say "wow" on Wednesday when I counted the 10th poopy diaper I changed on my child.
I did not worry when I found out that the daycare we had chosen did not have a place for our baby. I also did not cry when we found a daycare that would take her. I do not think anyone else can care for her as well as I can. I do not want to go back to work on December 1st, but we cannot eat if I don't.
I did not flip out when Greg's cat peed in my bathtub again!
I did not feel extremely guilty when my baby got her first case of diaper rash. I also did not cry with her the first night she had it.
I did not have baby puke all over me twice this week.
In light of a current family situation, I did not look at my beautiful 8 week old princess and wonder "Will you love me or hate me in 30 years?"

Oh, good luck going back to work. It is hard, but you will get through it. I worried the whole time that my kids would forget who I am, or something like that.
My youngest was on that formula too. I think we spent like $150/month on it. The good news is that as they get older and their systems mature, you can slowly switch back to the regular formula
awwww cute baby, and whoa! that is one big cat!
wow she really is a cutie! I am also very impressed by your ability to hold it together through everything, especially with ragin postpartum hormones!!
She will always love you... I'm sure of that...
