Baby, baby, baby

feed the baby, burp the baby, cuddle the baby, sing to the baby, rock the baby, wash the baby, wash the babies bottles, change the babies nappy, mix the baby's formula, change the baby's sheets.............

Baby, baby, baby, baby BABY!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so babied out!!!! I feel like I do NOTHING else.

I'm so tired. This being a Mum thing is much more gruelling (and sometimes boring) than I thought.

Anyone else?????

 

:hug99: I know how that feels. :hug99: It is all about the babies, isn't it? I know you won't want to hear this, but cherish it, because it passes by quick and then you'll wonder where you "little" babies have gone... and wonder why they are climbing on the kitchen table. :lol:


:hug99:

 

I feel the same way and mine are 5 months old. I dont really have them on a schedule b/c they are two totally different babies so I still feel like I am always holding one or feeding one or changing one. It is neverending. Some days are better than others though. Like yesterday they both did nap at the same time for a couple of hours so I did take some me time. I was feeling good after their nap yesterday. I take care of mine 99% of the time so I do get tired of it sometimes. I do just want a break sometimes. We have two older kids so DH mostly takes care of them at night and I am STILL taking care of babies. It does get better as they get older. Like yesterday my DS turned over for the first time and I was so proud of him.

 

Ooohhh yeah!! :hug99: The baby hamster wheel and feeling like you'll never get off. I found in the second half of the first year and definitely in the second I was able to start doing a little bit for me, and that helps tremendously.

 

Ever see the movie Groundhog Day??? We live it! All we need is "I Got You Babe" to wake us up and it would be complete.

This is EXACTLY what I was going to say! I even wrote an email to all my mommy friends when the girls were like 2 months old saying I felt like I was stuck in that movie, except life kept repeating at 3 hour intervals.

To the OP, it does change as your kiddos become move interactive and independent.

 

ME!!! ME!!! ME!!!!
I was just saying this exact thing to my husband yesterday, I wanted to do ANYTHING but baby duty...guess what I got? Get three year old ready for bed duty! Oh well, it was a nice change of pace...not exactly what I was thinking, but nice.
I need to get out in the real world soon!!!!!!

 

The groundhog day movie was the analogy I always used to use as well. I remember it well. It won't be too long before you miss those days. Like a PP said, I can't believe how much mine have turned into toddlers versus babies. It just flies by.

 

Just like pps...I totally feel you. But honestly, and I know it doesn't help now, you will wonder where your "babies" went. DH and I talk about it all the time...when did we get two little "toddler boys." When did it happen? It just seemed like one day they weren't little babies any more. I mean we do have a routine now, but it's not so much baby, baby, baby because they go longer between meals and bottles, bath time is easier 'cause they sit in the tub and play, they don't need you to move them everywhere, etc. It happens super fast. I can't believe mine will be 1 on Wednesday!

 

Right there with ya. As I put one down to sleep, I catch myself thinking...this is how it would be with just one baby. I quickly snap out of it because the other is waiting for me to do my momma duties with him. But, when only one is on the floor doing tummy time, I think wow it must be so lonely for him without his brother. OK I got off topic, but still I know how you feel!

 

It gets better. Days are so much more fun for the majority. I would recommend keeping them both on the same scheduel. ididn't for a while and I was going crazy. It is hard to wake up one sometimes or let one lay in the crib until it is time but it makes for a happy mommy. Now they are so fun as they scoot, roll over, play (for real now) and are almost crawling, almost stitting up ( 2-3 min unassisted). SOmetimes I wonder where they day has gone. Hang in there.
