Thank you all for your kind words on my post yesterday. I really do appreciate it. And it's really nice to know that I'm not solo in this mind-fuck that is being a mom. Kent and I had a good talk last night about everything. Actions are in place and discussions were had to make sure that I amplify some more ME time. I am making myself a focus this year. For the first time in a LONG time. I encourage other mother's to take that step with me. Once a month, at the very least, do something for yourself. Take a few hours away. Turn off the guilt and self imposed responsibility and take care of yourself.
Unrelated, but thought I would update ya'll on the Smurfdizzle.
We had our appointment with the new (old) Pediatrician and she validated my suspicion about his irregular heart beat. She has referred us to a pediatric cardiologist for further review. It could be nothing. It could be something. She did confirm that the murmur he was born with healed at his 5 month follow up. This is newly developed and assumingly unrelated. He's still every much a toddler and driving me insane with his meltdowns, so we'll just keep plugging away at the box of wine and Bubble Guppies episodes until February 7th and we have more answers.
As far as his shitting goes, she's concerned about that too. Miralax is on the menu for the weekend. As is some alternative ways to handle the situation when he starts freaking the fuck out at the first sign of turtleheads poking.
Today is a new day. And I'll take each breath as it comes.
We have some really awesome visitors coming into town this weekend and a trip to the circus in store for Smith and my best friends kids. I'm looking forward to the distraction.
Love ya'll! Thanks again.

I'm glad you and Kent talked last night. And I am glad that you are going to take some time for yourself. My father told me when I was younger to remember that when I have kids, make them my world, but don't make them my whole world. Remember to take time for myself. I remember thinking that was SO selfish. That your kids are supposed to be your everything. And now that I'm older, I totally get it. You need to make sure you don't lose yourself in diapers, Bubble Guppies, and pooping phobias. Sometimes, you just need to take time for you! And to make this comment ever LONGER, glad you guys are getting some answers on Smith! Hopefully things get a bit easier.
I'm so glad that you and K talked! You deserve some me time so I'm glad you have a plan to make that happen! Cheers!
It's important to have YOU time and I'm glad that you're going to make it a point to have some this year.
My kiddo didn't have a fear of shitting as a kid but she did have issues with it. She was given the Miralax and let me warn you, ease into it! She had liquid shit for almost two weeks. I'm talking pure liquid.
If the Dr. says fill the cap thing to the line, start with half of it. please, for the love of your sanity...and your carpet (assuming you have carpet that is).
I hope the murmur is something he will grow out of. Let me know how the miralax works and hope you guys have a great weekend!
Good for you! I'm glad you guys talked and I hope you get some answers about Smith soon! :)
Love you sweet girl! You have been on my mind. Take care of YOU - you are important. If Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. :) It's okay to be selfish every once in a while. We are not superwomen (something that I've had to swallow). Give that Smurfdizzle a squeeze and drink a glass of mommy juice for me tonight.
We went to that circus last weekend here on the west coast of FL. It was pretty amazing. But one thing I was unprepared for was the lack of circus animals, they had elephants, camels, dogs, and horses. No lions, tigers, bears, ect. But the human acts are awesome! Have so much fun!
so I'm emailing you about all kinds of random, stupid shit and you're dealing with this. please ignore me as needed.
1. The shit thing is very normal. Miralax will do wonders, and most toddlers grow out of the fear. My son did the same thing, and now he's all proud of his shits. Like 'WHOA DAD CHECK IT OUT'.
2. Liv has an irregular heartbeat. We see cardio every year to keep an eye on it, and while hers is no big, I do know the worry of it.
3. DOOOD. I so get the whole thing from two posts ago. The struggle. Loss of self. Just as a sidenote, though...for me? When I get like that? It helps if I up my meds for a little while. just to help me through the funk.
Good for you! Now just take your me time. I know that is going to be easier said than done.
Good luck on the poop front as well ;)
I'm thinking its something but its nothing! Like I had taljed to ya about how ks murmur had healed they heard another one when she was a lil younger than smith fizzle we went to a specialist and it was nothing yay her heart was fine so I'm thinking and hoping that is the case with Smith! Yay you talked to them about the Mirolax it has so helped k and fiber gummies do as well! I am glad u and kent had a talk and you get some me time momma you deserve it! Loves ya
A girl I worked with has three girls and all of them have to drink the Miralax or whatever it is stuff and they get supossitories for it. I think little kids are just scared to poop...I mean it scares the hell out of me sometimes too!! ;-)
Get that girl and me time done!! You will feel so much better once you can just take sometimes for yourself!!
