Monster Munchkin

My beautiful angel of a daughter has been less than pleased lately. I'm not sure if she's stressed out because her routine is compromised with Mom staying at my house and all. But she sure had some major conniption fits lately. Some of the biggest tears I have ever seen gush from her precious eyes, then she gets snotty and thrashes. She won't let me hold her and she won't calm down for, sometimes, more than 20 minutes. I feel sorry for her but nothing seems terribly wrong. Maybe it's her getting older and perceiving a lot more, such as stress. I sure have had my yearly dose and it's only August. She wakes up a few times before midnight and cries. I took her to the doctor last week and she is on antibiotics for an ear infection that supposedly wasn't even a full blown red infection, per the doc. She's taken the antibiotic before and she's not grabbing anything that could be hurting, such as her ears. I am forced to let time tell how much she will fuss and what will calm her. Sometimes it takes different things like, going outside for a change of scenery, some juice instead of milk or vice versa. Sometimes she's hungry sometimes she won't eat at meal time and my pushing leads to these tantrums. I realize how very new at this I still am. I wonder about my second child. Will he/she be a little more chill? No matter what I will still love but I am at my limit, stress-wise, lately. And, how does one deal with two? Many questions are flying through my head. Kudos to the moms of more than one.
