I have an ear infection, headache, sore vag got no reason and running nose. I feel like death. This is from william waking every dam hour crying beside me and looking fed! this only since Alex came along. Alex dosnt even wake for a feed he sleeps all night from 1 onwards and has woke for a feed at 8 and has gone back to sleep now. I dont know why down stairs aches it was sore last night I assume it can hurt a while down there. yesterday I was so dizzy to when I woke. I need sleep! And william tantrums if he dosnt get to go with his dad all day, upsets Alex all the noise. I hope he settles down soon he gets loads of attention but dosnt seem to stop this screaming and waking. I read someone else was having the same with a toddler and new born somewhere. I should have a bit more sleep not nearly none when I have a sleeping new born! and i cant get napes, seems my other half gets naps as he is having one right now! why do men always go on like they have it harder? many of rows we had because he complains he needs sleep and goes to bed and fuck what I think. No wonder I found my first grey hair. And its my birthday on wednesday and I cant be arsed.

my livingrioom looks like a tornado hit a clothes shop. And I am still waiting on my windows since before Alex was born! I heard they have to come back and the frames need painting before being sent off for glass, how fucking long does it take ffs! I was told 6 weeks max and that was only because there was a cock up last time how come its 8 weeks now! I am sick of living in my livingroom! I have guests coming as its darrens bday tomorrow, mine next day and in a week its williams and all I have is a hall and livingroom full of clothes and furniture.

Why cant my mum get it in to her head you dont get a period for a long time when breastfeeding. I told her this when I started with William and she said she never heard of it, then she never heard about anything to do with breastfeeding as she never done it. she was convinced I was pregnant or had something because I had no period. So this time again she asked about bleeding, I have no idea why she has to ask about this we dont have that sort of relationship where we chat about girly things. I said again I have no period and wont get one for months, I hope the longest possible time and she says looking at me madly like I am wrong that she never heard of it and of course if she hasnt heard of it then I must be wrong. The face on her like I was talking shit really gets on my wick! And the Hv told me no smear tests as when your breastfeeding it can come back false positives for things and again she wouldnt hear of that apparently breastfeeding cannot effect your womb in any way. sigh......... she really tires me out. I even had to google it to shut her the hell up and she still dismissed it. Sorry but she never done it or even wanted to so what the hell does she know! she tells me to go to the toilet when out and feed or if i go to granddads she was sure I would get a nice room on my own to feed in and hide away.

Well, I added an updated BFing picture to my avatar. I keep seeing everyone else's gorgeous BFing piccies so I figured I'd join the fun.

 

[Shiv]

I haven't posted in awhile but I'm still reading this thread!

Anna- sorry about AF- I was really looking forward to hearing good news from you

Cleckner- I love your profile picture! Emma likes to smile on the booby too- so cute! My mom always comments on how Kira wiggles and giggles while on the booby. She bf me till I was 15 months and said I was a very serious nurser, LOL.

DF- Hope your sleep starts improving soon! It can't get worse so it'll have to get better, right???!

That's all I remember, LOL

Okay, now I have a nipple observation My nipples are now permanently floppy. They use to always stick out, but now if I lay on my back, the nipple tip will flop to the side, LOL. Even my DH commented on it the other day
