When my son was 3 he had to have an endoscopy and the GI asked me about the reflux he had as a baby. I said, they told me he was fine, that it was just colic. He showed me the pictures of the scars.I was furious for weeks that no one had listened and stole his babyhood from me. Caring for a baby that screams like that is an obligation more than a joy. He’s turned into a wonderful kid.

Teresa, I plan on buying several copies of your book and handing them out to friends and mothers. I’ll prolly get around to reading it, but at least know that I’ll buy a half dozen copies. Thats really all that matters, right?
Love ya T, keep up the content.

I’ve really enjoyed reading your blog, listening to you on the radio, and the podcasts…so when is the book available to buy? It would be a pleasure to support your writing!

I think there are a total of two mommy bloggers who make money from their various blogging enterprises. It’s not a growth industry.

I love your description of moving your baby from station to station during the day. It’s so true. My little one is a couple of weeks younger than yours and we do the shuffle from bouncy to mat to standing jiggle on a rapid rotate. Once they are up and walking they start to keep themselves entertained for longer periods. By the time they’re about 4 they stay so busy you can almost forget they’re at home with you.

I saw you on Dr. Phil today and had to come check out your blog! I so appreciated your humor (and yes, an infant can be mind numbingly boring). I’ll definitely check out your book when it comes out. Being a ‘mommy blogger’ isn’t all bad. At least that’s what I tell myself! Have a great day!

Can’t wait for the Dameshek episode. And yes, I’m buying the book, too. You’re awesome.

Hey T. Thanks for the post. My son is a couple of weeks younger than Buster and this blog has been great. I hope you keep it going.

I’m not hacking away at a book, just hacking away at life, and your words make the axe a little easier to swing. Thank you.

I’m sure we are not supposed to ask questions but please please tell me how you got Buster off the pacifier!!! I have a three year old paci addict and I want to avoid the same with my eight month old. Also–don’t believe people who tell you that having two is easier. It’s about 10 times more difficult.

I can’t wait to read your book. I’m sure you get this a lot but I really feel that we are a lot alike. It’s too bad we don’t live in the same town! I too can feel isolated even in a room full of people. One piece of advice that really helped me–I joined a mother’s club. I know, it sounds horrible, but actually it’s the best thing I ever did. I joined a playgroup and met a nice bunch of moms and my daughter has a whole group of friends.

It’s funny, I always thought I worried more than anyone in the world…I am clearly second to you! Love you T! Thank you for being a smart, witty woman.
