some days are just like that

It can't be all fun and games all the time...

Had a busy, busy day and he only took little catnaps here and there. This is the result. This was the last 2 minutes of the ride home - he cried like this the whole way - and it was at least a 30 minute drive. Wasn't fun for either one of us. And of course when we got home, he was too tired to eat and too hungry to sleep. So it's just a vicious cycle and it's still going. Jamie's taking his turn right now and giving me a little break. I think it's going to be a looooong night.

Please don't think I'm a bad mother for recording him crying like this - it was either that or cry along with him by that point! Plus I wanted to make sure Jamie knew what I had been dealing with :)

Just remember it is good for babies to cry some! It helps develop their lungs! You wouldn't be a good mom if he never cried! Doesn't make it any easier to listen to but it definitely doesn't make you a bad mom! You are a great mom!!

Oy! We had a rough ride home too!! Luckily we didn't have that kind of crying, but there were a few meltdowns! :( I hope neither one of us has a long night tonight...I can't take another one!!!!!!!

When I'm in these types of situations with my (future, hypothetical) baby, and he or she cries like that, will it be okay to have emergency ear plugs to dull the sound? Mark tells me this is a bad idea. :)
