I wish I could come. You could sleep all day about me. :giggle:

Wish I could drop by! I would love to hold your newborn...:)

Sounds like a lovely dream, stopping in at your house!  Sorry I can't help.  I shall do the only thing I can do then.  I shall pray for you :)  love ya.

If wishes would get me there.. I'd be transported immediately. I would love to hold Ian. read to Zachary, whatever needed to be done.. but I can pray for you, and I will.

I would come too but I'm not sure he would feel the most comfortable around this growing belly. :) I was thinking about you and Ian the other night and I told Eric I'm afraid we have truely forgotten what we're getting into again. :) 4 years is a long time!

oh i want ALL of the above mentioned! i want to come......please. will you be ok if i bring two little girls along? LOL i'm trying to be patient while i wait for our corn to be ready. and i love peaches and blackberries and i really love newborns! i really hope you get caught up on sleep ....altho i'm not sure if that's something that ever happens or not. doesn't seem like it for me either and i don't even have newborns

I would love to come, but I'm not sure how much help 'we' would be...add 3 more to your household and I'm afraid you wouldn't be getting much sleep. :whocares:

Now that sounds tempting....:yes:

Wish I could drop in and help out! :)

I know all about life with fussy babies. It's a challenge, to say the least! The fresh corn and fruits sound very tempting!

Can't come but will pray for rest and wisdom for you... Hugs

Oh those early days of babyhood, so sweet, but EXHAUSTING. Carsons 9 months old and sleeps a lot. All night, good naps etc, so I'm guessing Ian will do that sometime, in the meantime, try getting a weekend where daddy holds him a LOT and you sleep away the saturday and sunday if possible, two days might just get you through another week. Blessings to you all.

oh! so sorry for you! the newborn stage is so precious, but so extremely overwhelming and tiring in the same breath. and, if only you could look to a book to figure out what to do and make your little one happy instead of fussy....hang in there! I know everyone probably says this, but...

this too shall pass.

hugs~

I wish I could stop in and cuddle your baby awhile. And I would be all sympathy ears for a fussy newborn. Been there... exhausting. And if you don't mind, that fresh food sounds awesome!

That's a good deal, I think.

oh i'm sorry!! and i can somewhat identify,,, i'm thinking olivia may be border-line colicky. not full colicky but she'll get fussy spells where she will not settle during the day.j some days she hardly sleeps an hour. but her nights have been super so i can at least get a few hours of straight sleep... but we're taking her for a chiropractor-sort of appointment today just to see if that would help... hope things get better for you soon! this can be so frustrating and you don't know what else to do!!!

oh, i remember those sleep deprived days AND nights!!! wishing you rest dear~

and your offer sounds like a super good one to me! :)

Hey! Its been such a long time since I've been on your site! Ian is perfectly adorable! Im sorry he's been fussy. Is it going any better? Sometimes I felt like I totally missed out on enjoying the tiny-baby stage b/c I was so terribly exhausted all the time! Here's to hoping you have a restful week!! :sunny:

Congratulations!! I haven't gotten on here to say it yet!!  Ian is adorable!! Hope he gets thru this stage quickly!!! Hang in there....as you already know time flies!!!!! Hey I want to get with you on the pics I want to order. Maybe you can email me when you aren't feeling too overwhelmed with everything else!! I am in no hurry so don't worry about that, just thought maybe you were wondering why I don't call about them!!  

@Esther_lynn - 

I can always tell when someone has had a fussy baby because they really are all sympathy.

i am all and total sympathy. the one regret that i had was that i didn't try harder to the bottom of the  problem. i was so tired, i just muddled thru it. looking back, i pry should have distanced myself from the baby occasionally just so i could catch my breath and be a better mom, but who wants to care for an extremely fussy baby.
