I'm discouraged. I had Joshua in October. It wasn't an easy pregnancy, but it wasn't as difficult as my family makes it sound. It hasn't been easy since he got here either. We had to induce a week early, due to my health (high blood pressure), and he did okay at first. 16 hour labor sure (18 from when they gave me the medicine, 16 from when they broke my water), but once he decided to show up it went okay. We went home, and I got to spend some time getting used to living with him and breastfeeding. Him gaining weight was our worst problem. But then he got sick, which contrary to popular belief had nothing to do with the fact I had him out and about at 2 days old. He's always been a cute and good baby. He had pyloric stenosis. Which translates to a 1 pound weight loss and mom in tears (and dad completely frustrated). 16 days later we finally got to come home (we also discovered he's hypoglycemic while we were there).

We've also decided to move to Huntsville on top of all of this. Tough enough in a normal situation, but trying to do it with a sick baby. So, since I haven't returned to work yet (I was originally going to go back to work when he was 6 weeks, but since we had that Le Bonheur spell we pushed it back) Joshua and I have spent a lot of time going back and forth between Memphis and Huntsville. Yet with so much time in my parents house we're already beginning to get on each others nerves, tempers flaring and arguing. Even 3 hours away we still manage to argue. Ugg!

In the mean time, I'm going to repeat what DH and I always say, "Give it to God and it'll all work out." It may not be how we want, but it'll work out none the less.
