Nicole's Journal

What exactly goes on in my head, anyway?

Ugh...I've been so emotional the past few days.  It's been so tough, especially in the evenings.  I can't help but wonder how I'm going to deal with having Craig gone this weekend.  He's going to Washington DC for a business meeting.  I know he's not going for selfish reasons.  He wants to make an impact on our future.  I totally respect him for that.  I just feel sad because I'll miss him so much.  At night I look forward to him coming home so much.  He's like my rock at times.  He won't be back until late Sunday night.  It's not like that's forever away.  Only a few days.  I'm just going to miss him.

I worry that I might be starting to feel depressed.  I was doing so well and now the past few days have just been really rough.  As the day gets toward the evening I've been so down and so tired.  Last night all I wanted was to go to bed and every time I put Caleb down after feeding him, he would just cry and cry.  So, even though my goal was to go to bed at 10, I didn't get to sleep until almost midnight.  I just sat in Caleb's room in my rocking chair feeding him, crying because I wanted him to go to sleep. 

Feel free to message me this weekend if you read this and feel led to help me feel distracted.  I'd appreciate it.  My husband and I are really close and I'm not used to being away from him for any period of time.  I just need to stay positive and do my best to take care of my baby.

Oh girl, I just seen this. I'm sorry you have to be away from hubby when the baby is so little. I know I got stressed when Caleb was still a baby and James was in preschool and they were just too much together, but I survived. Apparently I survived pretty well cause we are adding another to the mix....LOL
