Hi Everyone:
I'm Julie G. since we have two Julie's. My son Matthew (Matty) is 8.5 months old and started out very spirited and now is still spirited but fortunately is more textbook now. :lol: Im married 3 years next month. I seem to remember a lot of us have Oct/Nov anniversaries.
Welcome to newcomers. Colleen, I lost my Mom to cancer too, so if you ever want to commiserate, let me know. Its so hard sometimes raising Matty without her being here to see him!
I am a family/child therapist and work part time.
Julie, how the heck did you get to see those movies?
I'm jealous.
Nikki, Lise is cuter than ever, I just want to squeeze her. Hazel, that last picture of Daniel with the mussed up hair made me laugh.
I love all the pictures and I would like us to keep posting them here, cause honestly, I just dont have the time to go to the gallery. I also want you all toknow that I still feel bad if I dont mention everyone. Like mentioning Nikki's and Hazel's pics but not the others, which I also thought were beautiful. I never mean to leave anyone out. I dont know if Im gonna get over feeling that way on this thread. But you guys are right, it is stressful to feel the need to comment on everything people say, even though I want too!
Anyway, I DO need some feedback from you gals. I am feeling remiss about not taking matthew out more. He gets walked everyday but he doesnt get to go on many errands. I work 2.5 days a week, and the days I am home I have a helper part of the day so I can get other work done. Therefore, when my helper is here I run allmy errands (so much easier) and then do stuff at home with Matthew. He gets to go on errands with me and Daddy during the weekend.
Is this horrible? Should I be taking him out more with me even though its harder? I feel so darn guilty. Just to let you know, when we do take him out, he does really well, he is calm and not afraid of strangers. Hope this doesnt sound silly but its been bothering me for a long time.
thanks for any feedback.
Sorry this is so long!
Julie
