What’s the matter?

Today marks week 10 of motherhood! I’ll count the days later, but day 70 is a safe bet.

My baby is beautiful, with big bright eyes. These eyes have been tearful all day today. Starting at 0400hrs when I could not get her to go back to sleep on her little bed, so I gave up and let her sleep with me. I was tired y’all!

When trying to figure out what the cause of her fussiness is, I follow the elimination method: change her diaper, feed her and try rocking to sleep. If that does not work, I start overthinking. Is it gas? Is it the baby acne which should not be bothersome accordingto her pediatrician and Dr. Google? Is it boredom? Is she just sleepy but with FOMO, so she forces herself to stay awake? What is the matter???

She is dozing off right now and I am grateful! Maybe I will get a few hours to recover before the next session of ‘Guess what the baby wants’. Pray for me.
