It doesn't ever occur to me that I have anonymous readers :) Thank you for coming out of lurking status, and glad to know that someone else out there is going through similar things at the same time. Do you have a blog by chance?<br><br>Vicki - The crying fits wouldn't be so easy to deal with if he wasn't so darn adorable. When he gets really upset he starts snorting. How can I not love him to pieces when he is snorting and snuffling?<br><br>Liz - Again, as always, thank you! It is so good to have experienced Mommy types to turn to with questions. I'm so glad I wasn't the "first" of our crew to go through this.Dancing Phalangeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00215805841336681459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8507654362105252327.post-22357687309962953342009-01-17T08:36:00.000-08:002009-01-17T08:36:00.000-08:00The best piece of advice I have read since having ...The best piece of advice I have read since having my baby is "It's only temporary."

I found your blog site a couple of months ago when I was searching something about pregnancy in Google. I actually had my baby, also named Michael, two days before you on the 27th. I've been following your blog ever since I found it. You make me laugh (the funniest blog was with the stretch mark cream), and I love your honesty. Please know that there are other people going through the same exact thing you are right now. I'm one of them! It's amazing how much I've found in common with you. Your political views, your goals as a mom, and also just as a woman. My husband and I follow Dave Ramsey as well (I can share a few things about that), and ever since I've had my little guy, I've wanted to redecorate (or just further decorate) my house too. I am on my second child, but some of the thoughts and emotions you have written down I felt with my first child. Now that I've been through it, it's a little easier to swallow with my second one because I know "this too shall pass"--i.e. they don't stay gassy forever. Thank God!<br><br>I would love to chat with you more. Please feel free to email me at heidi.slove@gmail.com if you want someone to talk to. We can share stories about maternity leave and crying randomly out of exhaustion and feeling overwhelmed with our poor little crying guys. :)<br><br>Take care.Heidi Slovenoreply@blogger.com
