It's been one of those days. Maybe I'm the only one who's felt like this, but I doubt it. I would like to give Charlotte away.....maybe sell her, although I think that someone unable to resist her charm and adorable cheeks would buy her and within a couple hours be trying to return her for their money back. Yeah, my day has been like that. I don't know what her deal is, but no one but Maddie got any sleep last night. And she has been C-R-A-N-K-Y all day today and not napping. I just don't get this kid. I can't seem to read her. We have a very vague semblance of a schedule, but she is always throwing things outta whack. And there are quite a few variables that could be bothering her, but I have no idea which one is the culprit, so do I stop everything? Here's the list.....at least what I can think of:
teething
squash
prunes (we have added a dollop of prunes in her veggies because she was straining while pooping)
apple juice (she has had about 3 ounces watered down for the past few days)
poop (she has been pooping almost daily since the prunes and apple juice and it's been messy!
the diet (I've been eating LOTS of tomatoes, onions and bell peppers on the diet and a lot less calories than before)
I think that's it. But something is going on, and it's causing her to be abnormally cranky which if you can imagine her really cranky instead of her normal fussy.....it's bad. And she hasn't been sleeping well at night......waking up a lot, not going back to sleep. I don't know what to change. Today I am not going to give her apple juice, and I think I may skip the solids this evening. But then I'm afraid that she is going to get stopped up and strain to poop again. Bleh. I am over this. When is she going to outgrow this?
So, my day hasn't been good. Maybe it will get better. I had to post some adorable pictures of Charlotte so that I would remember why I love her and try not to take her behavior personally or let it drive me insane. Please pray for me. There are some people walking by outside and I just may offer them a good deal!!

So, if I had read this before talking to you on the phone, maybe I wouldn't have gone on and on about Declan being so good! Sorry Charlotte's having such a hard time and in return you are having a hard time. You sounded fine to me on the phone, so, rest assured, only this blog is giving your true feelings away! :) I'll be praying for you....and she is beautiful!!
Don't worry about it darlin'. Just because my child is problematic doesn't mean that I don't want to hear about how lovely Declan is!! I'm glad your first is an easy one....Dan and I we're talking about it the other day and agree that if Charlotte was first we wouldn't have had another nearly as soon. But...I love her, and just have to wait it out. Not every day is as hard.
And believe it or not, talking to you put me in a much better mood! Don't ever feel bad about telling me the good things in your life. I'm glad you're happy!!!
