PRETTY PLEASE
The day started off great. I had an appointment with WIC to add Natalie. So I loaded up the girls and headed to the WIC office which is within walking distance from where we live, but I decided to drive since it was so hot out. We showed up early, Ladybug had fun playing in the lobby while we were waiting. Several minutes later we were called back to a room, so that she could get weighed and get her iron level checked. After being in the room for an hour, Ladybug was so ready to go home. I've been so consistent with her nap schedule, since it was getting to be 11 am she was so ready to go home and take a nap. She cried and cried as I held her and Jellybean. Jellybean cried because she was tired and hungry too. I fed her before we left but didn't think that we would be there very long. Well the lady helping us was able to get the vouchers printed for Ladybug but not for Jellybean because Jellybean wasn't approved for medicaid. I told her that the WIC office in Kansas City, got her approved due to the formula being so expensive. She kept telling me that we made too much so all they could do was allow for Ladybug to be on WIC. I broke down and cried. I kept thinking about how expensive her formula was and I didn't know how we were going to afford it. She called in another lady to help, they looked at the check stubs again, and added up how much we make monthly. No Luck. By this point, both my babies were not happy and so I explained to the lady that I needed to get them home for naps but I would call later to see what the outcome would be.
GOOD NEWS....I called a few hours later, Jellybean gets to stay on WIC for the next month. YAY! I was so relived. She explained that she was trying to apply Jellybean for WIC when she was already accepted several weeks ago. So the computer system kept kicking her out. We are so blessed to be on WIC. I am so grateful that WIC is available for infants and toddlers. What a wonderful blessing!
Ladybug ended up sleeping for hour, she usually sleeps longer. For the rest of the day, if Ladybug wasn't crying, it was Jellybean. By 4 pm, Ladybug was ready to go to bed. We played, colored, read books, ate dinner, and took a bath to make the night go by faster. She was so tired, she went to bed at 6:30 pm, a 1/2 hour earlier than she usually does. Jellybean hasn't been sleeping in her bassinet for longer than an hour for the last week. Yesterday and today, she has cried so much, I want to cry too! Tonight after putting Ladybug to bed, I rocked and fed Jellybean to sleep. I ended up putting her in her bassinet at 9 pm, so far so good. I feel so bad for her when she wakes up screaming and crying during the night, I am so tired myself that I just cuddle with her in our bed until she falls to sleep. I do want her to be able to sleep in her own bed throughout the night. But I realize that I need my sleep too. So I promised myself that I would be better about making sure she is in her own bed as much as possible.
I love my sweet little girls so much! They are so much fun. I love being able to make memories with them. I know that I will have more rough days, but WOW I didn't think it would be a day full of tears.
