There are times when i truly think my baby just doesn't like me. i know my husband has felt this feeling at times, too. i know she does love us, but sometimes i think she just doesn't like us. she will just push and scream and wriggle until she is out of my arms. the intellectual person inside of me says that this is just her independent phase, where she is figuring out what she can and can't do without me. the emotional woman who has less than four hours of sleep in me is not so rational. i even took it personally at 3:00 (and again at 5:00) this morning when she didn't stop crying when i rocked her.
but then there are the snuggles and open-mouthed kisses that i'm just really starting to get. and the smiles that are reserved just for me walking into the room. so, i guess it is love, after-all. love with a twist of independent strong-willed baby mixed in. it's going to be a fun future with all of these strong-willed women under one roof!
