Problem solver and short-term project person. These are two ways I have often described myself, and both have a big part to play in my ability to feel successful. But this baby is not letting me be either of those people. He certainly is not going to be a short-term project, and he is definitely challenging my confidence in my problem solving skills.
I can't fix him. I CAN'T FIX HIM! I haven't even been able lately to fix the little things like figuring out what's wrong when he is fussy and being able to provide relief for him. I am a failure. And although I've been fortunate that he is normally an easy fix and very laid back, these few occurrences hurt my heart and mind. A lot.
But how can I complain? I've read blogs of other moms enduring much worse than what I have so far. So I guess I have to be grudgingly grateful. I will have to expect that he WILL find relief at some point. (And that maybe I will be able to successfully check it off my "needing to be fixed" list?)
