don't worry, she'll be ready for her mommy again soon... at least she's

taking consolation somewhere... besides, now is the time for all good

mommies to remember that their other kids still want them...

right?

Unfortunately, they sometimes associate us with the icky hospital stuff.

She'll get over it, I'm sure. Kennedy punched me right in the face before a

surgery a couple of years ago on the way to the O.R. But she still wanted

me to go in with her.

I'm sure things will improve. Give her a hug from us!

glad Meggie is getting on with her healing. And as for your healing ego--not to

worry, she will be Mummy's girl again soon. In the meantime, take advantage of

the Daddy's girl thing--if she wants only him, he might just have to change the

diapers, feedings, etc, smile!!!

I'm sorry for your left-out mommy heart. I remember when was

2-yrs-old finally decided Dad was awesome and quit needing me only and

always. I actually rejoiced! But, you know, Aubrie will take Dad at times

and that's lovely, but I know I'm the one for all the big stuff. I think

it'd be hard for me if she turned to him during those times. I can imagine

your mixed feelings. It warms your heart to see the man you love and the

child you love having such a strong bond - but then there's the part of you

that wants to scream, " But I'm the Mom! "

I know the grown woman in you will get through it just fine. If it lasts

too long, will be pulling his hair out and you will be rejoicing and

snickering. I have visions of you eating bon-bons on the couch relaxing

with and as Meagan chases a bleary-eyed through the house

:-)

I hope Meagan continues to heal well, that her pain subsides soon, and that

her development and growth take off.

I must relate a story about and surgery. Years ago, I no longer

remember what she had to have done, she became furious at me and

also at a nurse. Her ped just chuckled as she embraced him and her

father and commented that in his practice, kids always thought mothers

and nurses were the evil doers. This struck me as absurd since Andy

was usually the one to help hold her down! Don't worry, your little one will

come back to you soon. With great sympathy/empathy --- Martha

In other words, this won't last!

It's nice to read that is doing better.

About the daddy thing, take it while you can. It'll change and go back and

forth. Enjoy the ride right now. It doesn't mean she loves anyone more. It

just means right now your husband is more calming. Patty used to love to

bits, still does, and I learned quickly that the vibration of his voice, chest

and the sensory input from his was different from me. And that's OK. It was

especially OK during preparation of dinner! Oh how I used to cook.

Here's hoping you get those pounds back on and that she heals quickly.
