Re: FFC
Sometimes I feel ilke I don't know what I am doing parenting wise. I still rock Abby to sleep the majority of the time. I know some babies can be laid down drowsy, but awake. Not Abby. Whenever I try to lay her in the crib awake it is a big no go. She still wakes up once or twice a night. I started her on stage 3 foods and she does ok as long as she doesn't feel the chunks of real food, mostly in the dinners, if she finds them she pushes them out with her tongue. I tried some finger foods and she does ok with some but not all. Using the sippy cup is also not working. I keep comparing what I do to what everyone else does. I know it is bad. Ugh!
Oh I know how you feel. Lily eats some finger foods and she isn't a fan of all purées. But she still eats stage 2 purées great. My doctor said as long as she is eating and gaining not to worry so I try not to. It took her awhile to really use her sippy cup and even when she did she wasn't drinking a lot out of it. Lily still nurses 3-4 times a day and at least 1-2 times a night. I wait for her to come to me and lift my shirt up. I still rock her to sleep most nights. She also does not go to sleep when I lay her down drowsy. Occasionally she will but usually she just starts screaming. We tried some cry it out but that just ended up with her crying and shaking when she would be near her crib. So if I have to rock her to sleep to put her in her crib, I'm okay with that. I know I she won't be rocked to sleep forever. Just know that you are being a great mom. Every baby is different. There is no perfect way to parent.

I hope you get a break soon.
@TaraW1979 I am so sorry you and your husband are having such problems with your health. He needs to be more considerate of your current situation. You are right about you being in more pain since you were cut open. I hope he starts seeing that soon. Sending you both get well soon thoughts.

Tara- Don't forget that men have a lower pain tolerance. He would be twice as bad as you if your roles were switched.
Jen- I am going to have this problem when I get pregnant, because I am not going to want to tell my ILs because they blabbed about the house to everyone in the family.
Mine- I don't really care about twirling anymore. My girls aren't going to get into finals, and it almost seems stupid to care about the last practice on Tuesday. I know I shouldn't feel that way, but at this point, some of them are kinda hopeless.
