This is a "Dear Diary" Moment:
Ryann won't stop crying. She does this almost all day...every day. I keep telling myself she'll grow out of it and to enjoy every moment I can, because soon these days will be gone...but seriously...HOW DO YOU DO THAT???
Also, I'm embarassed by how cranky she is. That sounds stupid. Yes, very stupid. I don't know why I'm taking this as a personal attack on my mothering skills, but I am. It's almost as if I feel like if I was a better mother she wouldn't be so cranky...she'd be one of those babies that is happy to see people and to socialize with others.
I want that so bad. I want to be patient and loving and help her get over this phase, but I'm losing my mind. I wish I had answers. I've been given a lot of great suggestions on what it could be, but deep down I feel like this is just her personality. Yep...I've finally admitted that to myself.
I love her. I hope she can get through this quickly, but more importantly, I hope I can be patient, loving, and kind like I know my father in heaven would have me be until this phase is over. Until then, please send some help Heavenly Father!

Hey Sus! My son Caleb was the same way. It is sooo hard. Now he is such a mild, kind hearted little boy. Don't get down on yourself. I am going to send you an article that was given to me and it did help him a bit. Love ya girlie! Hang in there!
This child is so special - she was placed in the right hands, I know it doesn't feel like that but I trust the Lord that he placed her especially with you because of your patience, love and caring.
Just read your post again - all it says to me is LOVE! How much you truly LOVE her and how you want the absolute best for her!
I will again put the families names on the prayer roll and keep you in my prayers!
I sure do love you! Happy Mother's Day to an AMAZING Mother - because that is what you are!
I LOVE you!
