Poor Baby B was having an emotional day with off and on crying, arching of the back, reaching her arms out, pushing away when I was trying to hold her, and crying if I tried to sit while holding her. The grieving is all part of this and it is "healthy" for her to grieve. I understand this but feel helpless at the same time and have cried with her too.
Baby B did have happy moments today. I am always carrying her in these moments or I am always in her field of vision. If I try to set her down, she cries or if she can not see me, like when I go to the bathroom, she cries. Carried Baby B with me - even in the bathroom.
Here are some pics of the happy moments..

Hang in there- it is great that B trusts you enough to act out and grieve openly. You're doing a good job, Mama!
ReplyDeleteHow much do you think she understands? Does she stay there with you all the time or are you picking her up and dropping her off? Thats great that she is bonding to you. It must be so confusing for her.
