Lord give me Strength

This will be quick cause that's all I have.
After a very looooonnnng week, I am in the house with my wonderful daughter.
I say wonderful with an eye twitch since she's been a leach since nine.
That's right...she's been awake for 10hrs straight.
Everytime I've put her down she's screamed...not cried..bloody murder.
I know she's not ill or in pain since everytime I pick her up she smiles and coos.
It's now seven and she's in her crib fussing...i think not screaming cause she's exhausted.
I'm going to have a shower to drowned out the cries.
To anyone who thinks this is a terrible thing....i've only had a total of fifty minutes (not consecutive) without a baby. In that time I managed to eat a bowl of cereal, bathroom, and change the garbage all to the soothing lullaby of a crying baby.
To those who say take a break and let her cry.....well tell my headache that while your at it.
This blog is being written to that same sweet sound.
Any and all prayers are accepted.

These types of days were sent to try us. I can pray. That's about all I can do for you right now.

indeed - this too shall pass and all will be well.

I did the same thing - if she was screaming, I would make sure she was dry, clean, safe and fed (if she would eat) and then I would hop in the shower for 10 minutes to give myself a time-out, or I'd leave her in the apartment and just go outside for a minute or 2 then come back in.

I feel your pain sweety.
