I have a tendency to get in over my head sometimes. I'm over-zealous you may say. So giving birth and continuing grad school without skipping a beat may be one of those times I've gotten in over my head.
I have a high-needs baby. Some people call her spoiled. Either way, she loves being attached to her mama. There are times when I love it too. I love snuggling and cuddling her. She's so warm, soft, and loving. But when mama has to potty or needs to eat, it gets kinda old really quickly.
Everyone keeps telling me I should let her cry. It won't hurt her, even if it hurts me. I know it's something I need to try because I'm behind on my schoolwork and I hardly ever eat when C is at work. But mommy guilt is kicking my butt. How can I let my baby cry when she needs me?
Apparently Baby O has trained me to respond to her every whim even when she really doesn't need something. So today I'm starting to condition her to nap in places other than my arms without crying, screaming, or waking herself.
Wish me luck!
