No pictures....just wanted to get all of this down for my records before i forgot it! This is ll for my own benefit so you might want to skip! :)
Last week McCoy decided he was not going to be laid back perfect baby anymore. he did not let me set him down one time and still wont really but has gotten a little better.
i had a girls night thurs and jason said he cried for 3 hours straight and would only take 1 ounce out of the bottle. i thought it might be my milk production i was only pumping 4 ounces and sometimes less. but then when i pumped and mixed it with form he would not eat it so i couldn't decide if he was really hungry or not. we have fed him with avent bottles since prob. 2-3 weeks? (whenever they say to start) and he has never been great at taking a bottle but he pretty much always finished it...well now he just flat wouldnt put it in his mouth and would just scream.
so fri i took him to the dr..she looked at every inch of him and decided nothing was wrong. she thought i should cut out my lactose products and switch him to soy form when i add it to my milk. she also thought i should switch him to the playtex bottles with brown nipples because they are softer..she also said to not eat strawberries bec the could be causing gas and to get back on the phenogreek (sp?) for my milk supply....he seems to be taking these bottles better...but it still wasn't great.
jason started feeding him the bottle instead of me and that seemed to help and i gave him one tonight bc jason was helping liza and he took it ALL (6 ounces) i faced him away from me and that seemed to help...when i hold him on the side all he can think about is nursing. SO we were VERy excited about that. i was starting to stress that we were never going to be able to have a babysitter again! BUT he was eating every 2 hours today and has been like that since about the middle of last week and getting up throughout the night...i guess growth spurt???? anywho--we are ready to be on the other side of the SPURT! but i am feeling good about tomorrow....
ALSO--i think i had my first true OMG am i going to live stress moment of mothering..don't get me wrong i have had times when i was frustrated etc but last fri was my first time to really let it get to me. i was having to nurse mccoy constantly and never once put him down and then liza was AWFUL...throwing fits right and left and wanting me to hold her..so i held 2 of them a good part of the day. she refused to take a nap and i had both of them at the dr during her true nap time....they screamed bloody murder pretty much the whole day. my arms were shaking from holding them so much...i thought they were going to have to be sawed off. liza was in time out 99 times for kicking and punching me in the face..i would put her there while getting beat up, all the while having mccoy trying to keep latched onto my boob. i know, graphic, but just wanted you to get the whole picture! haha!
i am really scared to even put this on the blog but it's kinda a funny story so NO JUDGING! :) one time liza seriously punched me right in my face and it hurt really bad, i was nursing mccoy and i didn't even think about it...it was just reflex...i swatted her booty...somehow as i was putting her in time out my cell phone called jason without my knowing...anyways he got to witness the whole thing...i screamed...do you want another spanking? and jaosn was listening, laughing, thinking..haha! i didn't even know we spanked!
jason didn't get home till 645 and i was so exhausted and out of energy. amber and john came over and by the time everyone got there i was like..guys my day was really hard and i couldn't hold back the tears! haha! in front of my guests! :) so anyways!!!!! just wanted to remember that day for so many reasons! :)
so TODAY we started potty training...another OMG day!!! liza finally started telling us when she needed to go on the potty tonight but the day was pretty rough up until about 6:30 tonight. she threw some of her best fits today. WHOA! jason came home from work at 3:30 to help...THANK YOU JASON!!!! really...i can not tell you what a help that was...i am so grateful. i am too tired to write anymore,especially since i have already written this loooong post!
i know tomorrow will be easier! i am STILL thankful for every little moment i have at home with them..i have to go back to work in 7 weeks..so sad! :(

Just remember you are the cutest, greatest Mama in town! You are doing a wonderful job!
Kate you are a great mom!! I have felt that way lately with Maggie screaming and punching and just having one fit after another. Now we are expecting another and so after reading your story I know it is possible!!! Thanks for the inspiration.
Kate. Please call me if you need my help during the day with sweet McCoy. I am glad to know that SW is not the only one that hits her mommma! You are a great mom and trust me we all have those days!!
Love you.

Your blog today made me laugh and almost cry too! We've all been there a zillion times, and now we can laugh about it. Morgan could throw some "dandy" fits at 2-3 yrs. old....
Love you all 4!
