Cranky pants

So I just need to say I love my little crank pants even if he's been up since 4 this morning and has only slept an hour off and on. It's 11 now. I'm tired, overwhelmed and overly emotional. And when Renee called earlier I mentioned having to let him cry so I could eat breakfast and she jokingly called me a mean mom, it sent me into tear overdrive.
I've wanted to be a mom as long as I remember so each day I'm grateful but it has been a challenge. It's really hard having a baby that you can't console. It breaks my heart when he's screaming so hard he can't breath. I know it gets easier I'm just tired today. Maybe he'll fall asleep soon then I'll nap. Yay, motherhood! I can't wait to have 4 more......I'd pray they weren't colicky but I did pray for it with Elijah and it totally backfired. Guess heavenly Father was teaching me that I can't custom order my babies.

Oh, I wish I were closer so I could stop by and let you have a nap. The first few months are so hard even when babies aren't colicky. So this is extra tough. Hang in there and hopefully it will be of short duration.

I took my framed picture to school which included your baby announcement. Everyone thought he was so adorable. Of course, they haven't seen him cry and fuss so much.

This is why mothers have to put time between babies. They are very high maintenance. Know that we love you and we will pray harder that Elijah gets past this tough stage!
