It's over!

Lilian seems to be feeling better as of Friday night. She didn't have a fever and hasn't vomited since, so I think we are in the clear....so far.....four days from now, she'll have something else, be it thrush, ear infection (hasn't had yet) another cold....something will go wrong. Either way, I am grateful she is feeling back to her silly, giggly self. I needed to get a couple of things off my chest. These aren't confessions (awww no fun), more of things that get me angery but I haven't expressed them really.
First, I HATE when people grab my baby's hands!!! I can't tell you how many times I have told someone "She's always sticking her hands in her mouth, she loves them!" no longer do I finish the sentence does that person have their hand interlocked with Lily's!! I think to myself "DID YOU NOT JUST HEAR ME?!?" If you know a baby, which usually has a immature immune system, likes to munch,suck and just keep their hand in their mouth, why would you proceed to touch it? Also, 9 out of 10 times that person touching her is/was a mother themselves, so I assumed they would know......guess not. Well it happened yesterday,again, at church. This time I was so over this. I straight yanked (didn't hurt Lily) Lily's hand out of this lady's hand....I'm so over having to repeat myself to the same people, I'm just over having to repeat myself period, so I'm moving on to being rude. Sorry. Looks like it came to this. I'm tired of my Baby getting sick because people refuse to clean their hands and insist on touching my baby's hands. Gross.

Second, it TOTALLY pisses me off when people that are barely involved in Lilian's life, I mean barely even see her give me advice on raising her....well scratch that...they don't give advice...rather they tell me I'm doing it ALL wrong. For example, I have a hard time letting my little one cry, I can't do it. My heart literally feels like it's going to break in to a million pieces when I hear her cry. I have had a lot of people tell me to let her cry it out at night....."she'll be fine....she has to learn" Ummmm, she's not a dog! We aren't trying to train her to roll over here. If my natural instinct is to scoop her up and comfort her, how is that the wrong thing to do?
Believe me I have a lot more, but I'll leave you with some cute pictures of my little one.

  2. Also agree with the hands & ppl trying to undermind your parenting. This past weekend while on Vacation we went to see a family friend and the two youngest (3 & almost 2) were sick and the oldest you could tell was coming down with something which she is 7 and my Mamaw was feeding DD so I hurried up and wiped her hands and things off and packed her up bc those kids wanted to touch her, the almost 2yr old wanted her bottle! Ugh that made me sooooo mad.
