This past month was very stressful for both Annabelle and I. Since I began working, Annabelle has been refusing to eat solids or drink anything but water when I'm gone. I figured she'd be better after a few days or so, but no, she wasn't. I had to take her to her to see her pediatrician because I was concerned she was loosing weight. Well, I was right, she lost four pounds. For a fourteen month old, 18 pounds is below average and I wasn't having it. I felt like such a horrible mother. Right then and there I wanted to just quite the job that I've grown to really like. Her doctor gave me very helpful tips to get her to eat more solids so I decided to start them that day. Her and Jade now have matching plates and cups. I started feeding them the exact same foods, that way Annabelle doesn't feel left out for not eating what Jades eating. I am now proud to say Annabelle is doing great! She's started eating more solids, less boobies (which I am both sad and happy about).
As a mother, we want what is best for our children, and I'm just so happy that Annabelle is back to being a happy baby. I know it must of been very hard for her to see me go to work, and be gone six hours a day. The look on her face when I pick her up, I love it. Lets not forget about Jade here, she gets excited seeing me too. "Mommy you have to work so you can buy me and sissy more toys ok," says Jade. Gota love her! It's not hard at all for Jade to be away from me because she loves visiting her cousins, aunties and grandma. As long as she knows that I am coming back to pick her up, she's perfectly fine. Now lets hope Annabelle starts gaining her back her weight.
