i have a very fussy 8 week old boy and today was especially difficult. we had to go get an ultrasound of his hips done (because he was a breech baby) and he did great while we were there. but as soon as we got home all hell broke loose. i spent the entire day just trying to soothe him and praying he would fall asleep again just so i could have a break. then i felt like he was sleeping too much... i just feel so overwhelmed. i try everything, usually gripe water does the trick at least for a little bit but today not so much. then i feel guilty when my husband comes home from work and the first thing i want to do is pass the baby off to him... but even when i do that i feel like he isn’t able to soothe him as well as i can and i might as well just do things myself. and to top it all off, i spilled my dinner plate all over our couch... it was just a rough day all around and i’m feeling like a crappy mom.

tldr; had a really difficult day with my fussy baby
