Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Sharon, Do you want to take care of the babies for that long each day? If not speak up now. Otherwise go outside and scream real loud so we can all hear you. lol I'm sure they will sleep alot. Oh it might be fun, wish I lived close I would come and play. lol Take care, Love you Lu Did you hear that I am going back to taking care of that babies? YIKES! I am scared to death. Had them for three hours yesterday and didn't think I was going to make it--what will I do with them for 13 1/2 hours a day? Say a prayer for me, please. Take care and I'll talk to you later. Love, Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 2, 2002 Report Share Posted January 2, 2002 Sharon, Are you a glutton for punishment. lol only kidding here. But you know how to get that grand child to sleep and play without holding him all the time. As long as you treat them as if they were your own you will do a great job. Wow, you have a full load. Let us know how it goes, okay? Love you Lu As to sleeping---that is a problem! Logan (4 1/2 months) is just now learning to sleep in his own crib. My daughter and son in law have held him constantly since he was born! That may be o.k. when you only have one, or when YOU are going to take care of your own baby---but, they both knew they would be going back to work and should have started training him long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I do not want to take care of the babies for that long, but that is just how it is. Mom and Dad work 12 hour shifts and have to have time to travel, and gown up for work. I will work 54 hours one week (4 day week) and 40 1/2 (3 day week) the next on an alternating basis. You just might hear me screaming--more than once. I wish you lived close enough to come and play too. My three year old granddaughter is so much fun to play with. She has a wonderful imagination and the vocabulary to match. Logan is such a cutie too, smiling and cooing! As to sleeping---that is a problem! Logan (4 1/2 months) is just now learning to sleep in his own crib. My daughter and son in law have held him constantly since he was born! That may be o.k. when you only have one, or when YOU are going to take care of your own baby---but, they both knew they would be going back to work and should have started training him long ago instead of two weeks ago. I adore my daughter and son in law, and they are fantastic parents, but they have not created an easy situation for me! So, scream I shall. The other gramma works full time, and no one wants strangers taking care of the little ones. If it gets too rough, I will have them hire an in-home granny's helper for a few hours a day. I'm just plain scared that I wont do a good job for either of the kids. That doesn't even address the 9 year old grandson that we are helping to raise, or our 14 year old son whom I homeschool. See why I need to scream--AHHHHHHHHHHH! O.K. I'll shut up for now. Sorry I spewed this all over! Hope you are feeling better this morning. I'm off to get my blood work just as soon as I get finished here. Just the regular stuff. Love you, Sharon ===== __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Cassandra was a newborn, I had two surgeries within 10 weeks, and was taking care of her at three weeks post-op. I just don't think I can handle it this time. I'm three years older and taking care of a baby just seems overwhelming to me. Side effects on Remicade are very similar to those from Enbrel. I have not had any side effects from Enbrel so hoping for the best. From my research I have learned that people who are on immunosuppressents tend to have fewer side effects with Remicade. That fits me, so I am really hoping for the best. I'll try not to rant and scream too much, or too often. In fact, I won't even be on line on Sunday, Mon, Tues., and alternate Wed's. That is another thing that is upsetting me!!! Thanks for the encouragement. Love ya, Sharon ===== __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
