Mommy guilt

So I know I'm not perfect at calming my kid down and he's definitely not an angel for me all the time, however, I guess I feel like I do a better job at keeping him calm.  The thing is that I know I need to let others do it because especially with #2 almost here, I can't be the one to do it all the time.

Poor Dh is taking C for his nap right now.  And C is giving him a hard time.  But I know how Dh is and I know how I am with bed time stuff.  So I feel like I want to just go up there and do it myself.

I'm not the best at letting DH help either. And it's really hard to not say anything and just let him figure out what isn't working! Hang in there.
I was just thinking about you before I came on. Almost time!! Did you decide on a c/s yet?

The day you were born was the best day of my life! So in love...again!

Totally understand what you mean! It took me a while to realize that DH does thing differently, and that's ok. We times, if I think he could use some help, I will give him a suggestion afterwards, just letting him know what has worked for me in the past.

I have a REALLY hard time with this. It's kind of a "which came first: the chicken or the egg?" argument, but I feel like DH didn't help much when L was born so I did EVERYTHING & so that's how things have always been... He hadn't ever given either of the boys a bath until he took L to KS for Thanksgiving on his own a few weeks ago! So now, faced with the idea that he'll have them on his own when we split, it's very hard for me to accept that he'll have to learn how to do things his own way & I won't be able to control it. I'm a control freak... which may be why he wasn't offering to help in the first place. Embarrassed

I'm hanging in there :) I have another u/s on the 26th so the doc will take a look then to see what his final opinion is, since he's the one officially on call.  We set up a c/s anyway for the 28th.

Oh, Kerri, I've been praying for you and that little girl. Hope you are able to have a peaceful, joy filled Christmas without worry.
