The never-ending scream


This is what's going on with Chloe right now. Of course, this is an old picture, but as you can tell, she's screaming her head off. I don't know what I would do if I actually had a difficult baby. As far as babies are concerned, my understanding is that she's pretty well behaved. When she does throw screaming fits (for instance, right now) I just can't handle it. This is when I need her dad. He's much more patient than I am. I just can't handle it. Plus I've got the whole weird PMS stuff going on even though I'm pregnant. I've been pretty moody today. It doesn't help that she's been screaming at me most of the day we've spent together. And of course she was a perfect angel at daycare, so it's not like there's anything medically wrong with her. I may have to go mow the lawn so I don't have to listen to her scream. It's past 7:00, and her bedtime is 7:00. It's not like this is a new bedtime. So, if the screaming doesn't cease in a few minutes, I'll go mow the front lawn. That really only takes a few minutes, and it's pretty relaxing for me. Then I have to make some flash cards for my Vert test on monday and probably get started on the flea treatment in my bedroom. I have lots to do, so I'll stop bitching about Chloe's screaming now and get to it.

Well, that IS a lovely photo! I'm sorry you are having such a crappy time. I hope she settled down after not too long, though I know she doesn't always do that... I'll call tonight and see how things are going. I left my cell on the charger at home so it won't be til after I get home. Hang in there sweet pea! I love you!!!

Been there. It's especially worse with pregnancy hormones. Luckily, Gracie never screams unless she's hurt, but if i'm pregnancy PMSing, i just turn on baby signing time and she's captivated for at least a half hour so i don't have to be around her (don't worry, i still love her, i just need ME time). good luck with all your what not!
