I give you props about the baby thing, i cn even imagine the mental strain of constantly being needed. Hell, when dagur gets needy, i stick him outside so i can get stuff done, so i am glad that you are a stronger person than I. I guess babies are like anything else in life, you get out of it what you put in to it. So dance away monkey, i believe you are a good mother, eden seems to be happy and healthy...it's that brandon fellow that needs a changing and nap.
The baby thing is an interesting change. I think I voiced what I was meaning about the horrible parent thing better in Jenny's reply. I just don't feel like I make her as happy as she could be. And healthy... well, that's a whole different story, because who knows what's really healthy for a baby. I'm riding on insticts which is the best I think anyone can do.
As for the Brandon baby... he gets a nap, and fed, and still he's cranky. I think it's colic. :P Just throw him over your shoulder and rub his back until it passes. hehe.
Also... thanks for having us New Years! It was a much needed break for both of us. Especially me. <3 Not to mention the fact that it's always good times seeing you kids. I miss you all. I love the board games and what not. Bran and I will have to buy that one... the 5 one... that belonged to Ashley and bring it with us when we come. I liked that one

I feel like a terrible friend today. MY life has been so crazy in the past few months and I have kind of dropped of the planet. I think you are an amazing parent with so much intellect and love to offer Eden. She (and you) are going to be just fine. I am especially excited about #1 and #5. Would you like to do a lunch/hag out date sometime next week? I love you so much.
You're so silly. You shouldn't feel that way... things get hectic. I know. I've kind of fallen off the face of the planet myself. <3
As for the parent thing... perhaps I wrote that incorrectly. It's just that at the moment. I don't feel like I meet her needs as well as I should be able to... or as well as I will in a few months when she's more vocal or reaching for things. I hate the crying for reasons unknown. I just want to fix it and make her happy. But babies cry- and sometimes it is for absolutely no reason. That frusterates me. So... I guess what I'm saying is I'm definitely going to be a "toddler mom" ... finger painting and making a mess and running around on the playground, ect... those are my kinds of things.
I love you too! And I would LOVE to see you next week if you have the time. No pressure. I hope all is well.
