we have the exact same thing cheeselover! i'm just thankful he's now fully taking notice in toys so distraction works well! . Finding the fussing at the breast frustrating though, especially when feeding in public cos he keeps exposing my boob to the world , and i've ended up spraying the floor and the pram cos he lets my milk down and then unlatches

 

[MissFox]

Caro- Rosie does that too. I GOT HER FACE BIT TIME while in public the other day. Made me LOL.

So Rosie and I ahd 2 nights of no DH. She went to bed around 9:30 both nights and slept til 5:30 and 4:30 then back down to bed until 10am... He's here last night and she sleeps from 9:30 until 3:30 and then goes back down until 7:30 because he started yelling at the dogs. UGH! So now I don't have much time to get myslef ready for work because miss Rosie is AWAKE AWAKE AWAKE! K- I'm off to do my hair lol

 

[cheese lover]

Last night was terrible, she was unlatching before I could let down so she was getting totally frustrated. I finally managed to "will" my breasts to let down but then they both did and I was spraying everywhere with the one that she wasn't latched onto. The other night it was like this too and I had to use my pump to get close to let down and then latch her quickly before I started spraying everywhere. I think she's going through a combination of things. I do believe she's teething but she also doesn't nap very long at "school" so I think she's overtired by the time we get home. She does take a nap after we get home but by 7:30 she's not a happy camper. I might try putting her down earlier. Honestly I just lose track of time after we get home and so its 8 by the time I realize she's so tired. I'm also having a hard time fitting in baths because of that. I'm worried about what's going to happen when I'm working longer hours here in a couple weeks. I might not get home until 6 those nights. If she's this bad in the evenings now, what's going to happen when she hits the next growth spurt?!

 

[caro103]

haha missfox, love it when they get sprayed in the face! always amazing me by how much it doesn't bother him either!

cheeselover, fx'ed she starts sleeping more at 'school' when shes had more time to settle in so your evening are a bit easier! xx

 

[lilgemsy]

IM HOOOME! Finally haha.
Still not much better though. I cant do too much or I end up curled up in agony.
They still havent figured out what happened so I have to have a camera put down into my stomach in 8-10 weeks. Im on about 15 tabs a day D:

Ollie has more tests to come too. He has to have a probe but through his nose down into his chest or something to see how bad his reflux is D: He also has needles this week! Im going to have a grumpy little boy!

New pics

 

[gertrude]

good to see you back gem x

so people, what's it like to be a single parent? My OH has completely let me down and I think it's a deal breaker thing too Fuck I should never have given him another chance

 

[MissFox]

Sorry they haven't figured it out but happy they are working on it!!! He's gorgeous Gem!!

Gertrude- Very sorry to hear you've been let down :'( You can do anything you've put your mind to. I've only done 2 nights away from DH but it was amazing. Then the first night he was back we just fought. We fought last night too. Everything seems to be wrong between us sometimes and others it's great. I've thought of leaving him so many times (less lately) and dealing with Rosie and being a single mom was the least of my concerns. My mom raised me on her own and everything was always good. I'm really really sorry- but we're all here for support.

 

[gertrude]

I thought we were a team but we're not. He's been lying to me in a big way. I don't know if I can do this on my own

 

[Lilly12]

[Tasha360]

This time next week ill be a married lady! xx

 

[cheese lover]

Gertrude, I'm sorry he's been lying to you! I wouldn't put up with it. My mom was a single mom for 5 years while I was very young. Then she met my dad and he's the best ever. he adopted me and treated me as his own. I know it was hard for her since she had to support me alone (my biological father never paid her support). If you think you're better without him then you probably are. You can do anything you put your mind to.

 

[lilgemsy]

Gertrude - Like the others have said, you can do it if you put your mind to it Ive done it all along and tbh I wouldnt have it any other way! No extra stress of arguments with the OH. But, that doesnt mean go ahead an call it a day with him like that. If the relationship is worth fighting for then get fighting. Dont forget every relationship has its ups and downs and things could still improve
You know where to find us all if you need to rant or just need some friends around.
Hope things work out xxx
edit - oh i just noticed the bit where you said hes lied. Lying is baaaad. :/ I know how hard it can be to trust someone once theyve lied. -hugs- x

Tasha - Ahhh excited for you! Provide us with plenty of pics please! xx

My mum has Ollie atm. I can barely stand let alone carry him lol. Intense pain in my stomach again D: My own fault for not taking my painkillers properly but I dont want to take them so much incase they do any damage to my body in the long term :/ gahhh.
How am I supposed to look after my cheeky chappy when Im so ill! Stupid docs need to get it sorted

 

[gertrude]

god gem it just sounds a nightmare for you I wish there was something we could do to help!

thanks for all your kind words he's a total shitbag atm but as you say gem, I need to decide if it's worth fighting for. He's a bit of a fuck up it has to be said. Thing is, I need to make the right decision for pickle too so can't rush it - I need to be 100% confident before I chose anything now.

 

[caro103]

gertrude, i'm sure with time you'll make the right decision for both you and pickle

Gem, omg sounds a nightmare! do they have any clue whats causing the pain? 8-10wks before further investigation is a long way away! glad you've got your mum to help with ollie!

 

[babybefore30]

Gem glad you are out of hospital and hope they figure out what is wrong soon. Gertrude big hugs me and OH had a terrible time at the beginning on my pregnancy and nearly got divorced but we worked through it and decided to give it ago, it took a long time to get back what we had lost and I still find it difficult when he is a arse to me and think I should have gone it alone but I love him very much and could not imagine him not being around, so I suppose you both have to decide if you love each other enough as it is not just about the baby as at the end of the day the kids leave home and then it is just the two of you again.

I went out for the first time yesterday on my own and had a blast, it was so lovely for a few hours not to have to worry about nappies, feeding or a crying baby but it was lovely to get home and have cuddles.

Enjoy your Sunday girls x

 

[MissFox]

UGH! I'm so frustrated. I feel like I"m getting to the point more and more every day that I'm going to be a single mom. I don't get nearly enough help from DH. He's supposed to be the "stay at home dad" which whatever- we're working with it. I make more money and that's fine. He isn't doing ANY cleaning! I have to come home- do laundry, dishes, make dinner AND care for Rosie because as soon as I'm done pumping when I get home (and I have to make a stink about the fact that I need to pump) He passes her off to me. He gets pissed when I ask for help or tell him to do something and everything just turns into us fighting. I can't make him happy and my happiness is so fluctuating that it drives me crazy. I got 2 nights of AMAZINGNESS with my little girl and it was great. THen he came to the house I'm house sitting and she's not sleeping as well and when I get her down for a nap he yells at the dogs and wakes her up. Then expects me to pack up both vehicles so full that I wont be able to lift her car seat into our truck. I'm miserable and so looking forward to my time on the east coast. I need to use it to reflect. I love him but I'm so fucking stressed and everything keeps going bad when we're together. Things take one step in the right direction and 2 in the opposite. Anyways- Rosie is waking up and I need to finish getting this house picked up, getting rosie inthe truck, getting gas and grocery shopping for him for while I"m gone.

 

[gertrude]

oh missfox what is it with men!

 

[Emmy'sMommy]

to all dealing with men issues. I remember going thru the same thing when my first daughter was born that i think i actually kinda anticipated it this time around.

 

[SazzleR]

Gertrude & MissFox. Men just don't get the baby responsibility thing do they?!

Well I don't want to jinx it BUT Rex has been in bed since 8pm! Woop! Gonna feed him again at 10.30pm so he will hopefully let me have a bit of sleep tonight!

 

[lilgemsy]

MissFox and Gertrude I really hope things improve with your OHs soon! Big hugs x

Aww Marley & Me never fails to make me cry
