My sister...The Mom

Watching Dezzy be a mommy is the cutest thing to me. She's my second best friend to become a mom and its funny watching her make the same "mistakes" that all new moms make with their first child. I put mistake in quotes because its not a mistake like an accident but its just things that all first moms do because they obviously think its whats best for their child. For example, she's upset about being a cow. I feel for her but she could stop overfeeding him. He won't go hungry and as a baby, he's going to be greedy. Its funny because she thinks its going to change as he gets bigger. Naw boo boo. If he's used to eating 20oz in 24 hours now, he's only going to want more, not less. At least she's sticking to breastmilk and not formula because then she would never be able to catch up. She just worried about her child and I'm proud of her. I guess I still feel that disconnect when he's making noise while she immediately jumps up to make sure nothing is wrong with him. Maybe it comes from being a baby sitter forever. If its not a real cry, it doesn't need to be addressed lol Naw, I'm not gonna carry you. I'm not gonna baby you. You will take this pacifier. #endofstory As for Justin, I feel for him most of the time. He's a great dad as far as Dez will let him. This is HER baby but its really THEIR baby. I see that Justin wants to help and do more but of course, Dez is overprotective and she doesn't want to burden or bother Justin. He's a dad. That's what he's here for. I have seen her start to come around and I guess its all about getting into a rhythm of things and accepting your role as mom and dad. During these first 3 weeks, I have seen them grow together and she has started letting him do more and accept help. Hopefully she keeps that up. As the baby grows and she starts going back to school or work,this help is going to be critical so that she can EAT and SLEEP. Thats the benefit of living with your best friend and the father of your child. Take advantage boo boo. I'm sure by 3 months she'll be just like Jessy and handing Hunter off the minute I walk through the door so that she can pee or shower or just take a minute to nap. #NoMoreThoughts SandraOut
