Scheduling vs. kids needs.

I've never been a mom that stuck to a schedule with my kids. I was always more of a fan of letting my little ones tell me when they were hungry and tired. Before you knew it between your schedule, the other kids schedules, and the babies needs a good schedule would naturally evolve.

Now a feeding pump, a strict calorie diet, and three daily meds taken several times throughout the day forces me to schedule her like no ones business. I have a schedule written out and alarms that go off so no part of the schedule will be missed,,,not even by a minute!  If this little cutie isn't hungry I force feed her, I have a pump that puts food right in her belly, so I can. How convenient!  

So in the case of needs driven vs scheduling I was absolutely,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,right! Scheduling stinks!  For me anyways ;). Having your baby on a schedule consumes everyone's life in the house. I have now begun scheduling time to spend with my hubby and other kids.  Nope, can't read a book right now, not until 3:00, gotta stick to the schedule!  It sounds crazy, but it's true!!!  One misstep and your schedule is ruined!  Looking forward to more carefree days in the future!!!
