My adventures in mommyhood and tips on making it out alive!
Okay, truth time. I have a 2 year old and a baby on the way and I have no idea what I'm doing. Seriously. Every time I think I have this parenting thing down, #momlife decides to throw me a curve ball and put me in my place. I take great pride in the simple fact that I've managed to keep my tiny human alive for 2 years š
You know I debated on even writing this post. Some of you moms are going to hate me but we actually had a pretty easy time getting Liam off of his pacifier. I was expecting such a long drawn out period of struggling on both of our parts that I was pleasantly surprised when it actually went pretty smoothly. I know that this can be a big challenge for some parents, so I wanted to share with you what worked for us and what methods have worked well for others.
One of the worst things about this wonderful job as a mommy is witnessing our children getting hurt and then having to make the decision on what to do! Do you give the boo-boo a kiss and put an imaginary band-aid on it? Do you call your pediatrician and go to the next available opening? Do you drop everything and rush to the ER in your sweatpants and un-brushed hair? Unfortunately, all I can tell you is that when the time comes your instincts will kick in and you will know. And if you are ever unsure, err on the side of caution and take your little one to be seen. It will put your mind at ease (trust me).
We had a big change in the Casey household this week. I have started working part time and will now be spending more time with Baby L. I also experienced one of those inevitable rough parenting days. It seemed like no matter what I did, Baby L kept getting hurt. No matter what happens, every mom will have an awful day where nothing seems to go right.
