Clomid Club Graduate Buddies

Why on earth didnu only sleep 4 hours?? Go to bed when he goes down Lisa! Get off the computer last night and dive into bed!!! Haha.
 
U guys last Nite I told dh that I wished he would take Jimmy off my hands more often at night cuz I just need a break and I thought that should be obvious and he should just offer it without seeming like it's annoying for him. He said if course he will take Jimmy anytime I need it and that yeah after a long day he would rather watch tv and relax but he will do it no prob. I told him it makes me feel bad to put him to work when he doesn't want to! He said get over it. I said why can't u want to hang with Jimmy for 30 mins? Don't dads want to hang with their baby? They do in the movies! He said come on Casey I love Jimmy but of course its funner to watch tv and drink beer after a long day than to manage a fussy baby.

Is he a butt or just honest and normal?
 
Casey, I think he's just honest and normal... Joe would much rather watch tv than Lili... Men don't get babies... They get better as the babies start doing stuff! :hugs: doesn't make it easier for us though
 
Hmm that's a difficult one Casey- I would say he is being very honest and it probably is how a lot of men think- but to be totally honest Ste is not like that and spends every spare minute he can with Ben- but I know he's a bit unusual :flower:

Well we've just been swimming again. I'm determined one day I'll tire this baby out enough so he sleeps :rofl:
 
you are definitely going to wear him out one day lou for sure! lou I know you don't want to say it but you are thinking my dh is a butt right? you can say it. ste defo is the ideal doting father and its rare but I think maybe my dh would just sort of pretend for my benefit? or is it best to be honest,
 
Casey I think he's just being honest and lots of men are like that but probably wouldn't say it!!! Danny is the same most of the time.

To be honest sometimes I'd rather watch tv! But I find with Danny if I force him to do it sometimes and not just dump the baby on the playmat then he'll start playing and making S laugh and stuff and then I can see he's enjoying it... I think persevere and the more time they hang together and the more stuff Jimmy gets up to the more dh will actually want to do it...

Have you thought about weaning now J is 6 months?

Baby led weaning is quite fun! It was hard, but after a few days he's swallowing and it's so easy cos he just has a bit of what I have generally :)

X x x
 
Thanks girls. Yeah I just need to get over it and keep shoving jimmy on DH. Wish he was like Ste and was like YES! Jimmy time! but yeah, honestly I would rather go to a movie by myself sometimes! like everynight sometimes! and I am DREAMing of my vacation this october every damn night where I get to leave J with the granny! its cuz we spend all day and night with the little one and it is exhausting and repetitive. I am a total Cliche of every single mother who has ever complained!! I am by the book, so unoriginal! haha.

No about weaning Suz, I am going to the doc on wednesday for jimmys 6 month and will see what her advice is regarding weaning and rice cereal and all that jazz. For now I am keeping it breast milk only and poor jimmy is going to be behind the times with you advanced clomid girls!!
 
I would have been perfectly happy just continuing to BF too casey! But weaning is kind of fun!

Jimmy is fine on just his BM for now....

X x x
 
Hey girls! Been swamped at work today! Jaxie is 8 months today! :happydance:

Casey, there's nothing wrong with strictly BM. Other cultures BF exclusively for far longer I'm sure. Oh, and my OH is the same...but he'll take him when I need a break withotu a problem, but he won't volunteer himself for it. I think as Jax gets older he'll have more of an active role with him. I read somewhere that children spend 75% of their time with mom anyways so it appears that it's normal.

Any update on Kat? I hope kitten is on her way!

I agree Suz. Solids are fun for me and Jax is such a little piglet...he eats anything and grunts when you don't stuff his mouth quickly enough!! He's going to give himself a hernia!

Someone asked about pets...Jackson loves the dog...adores him, but the dog stays away. I let Jackson explore, but mostly he just wants to play with his collar. I always stay close by, not because I'm afraid the dog will bite him or anything, but because he might roll or kick him accidently.

Oh and Lisa, we did a lot of trial and error to see what worked and what didn't. I never did a 'dream feed' we just put him down super late, but I think for Casey the DF worked great! It just depends on you and your baby!
 
Thanks Marg for your input. I really appreciate it when you give your take on things being farther along than us and having such a successful little monkey to show for it!
 
Happy 8 months Jackson!! that's funny he grunts if you don't feed him quick enough :haha:

We are watching I am legend....

Sammuel had mashed potato, broccoli, and carrots for tea - he got it everywhere!! He didn't seem to like the potato!

X x x
 
I can't wait to start weaning, you guys make it sound so fun! :)

Thanks for the perspective Marg! We'll have to figure out what works for us... right now we can't get him to stay up past 7pm no matter how hard we try!

Casey - I didn't go to bed when Daniel did because he fell asleep so early! I meant to get in bed at 10pm... but had to pump.. then had to do a few dishes and then DH came to bed and he kept me up longer, then I couldn't fall asleep and was really thinking stupid/stressful/upsetting things etc. By the way, Daniel was ready to party and wouldn't go back to sleep after that.
We DTD last night and it was not fun for me :( DH can shut up about it for a while now at least, he was getting on my nerves with his horniness, lol!
 
I'm the same Lisa- sex still really hurts me. I'm thinking of going to the docs about it as I'm sure it shouldn't be hurting me after 5 months :shrug:

Suz- I Am Legend is soooooo sad! Have you seen it before?
 
from what I've read, I might have a slight prolapse so I really need to start doing my Kegels which might fix it..
 
Thanks Casey, I'm no pro or the perfect mom either I don't think but I'm trying to help the best I can just like you lovely girls do for me!! Have a great weekend everyone!
 
Lisa prolapse sucks!!

Sex still hurts me too :( sure it shouldn't by now as you say lou. It's in the foof, is it your stitches that hurt?

I am so depressed after I am legend! I have seen it before but totally forgot everything that happened... The dog bit was so sad :cry:
I always totally forget what happens in films so I can watch them loads of times and not even know!!

X x x
 
Suz- the dog bit made me want to rip my eyes out and never watch a single thing ever again!! :cry:

Yes it's in my foof- right near the entrance where my stitches were inside. I'm assuming it's a dodgy stitch or something! :shrug: It only hurts to actually start sex- once he's in ( :blush: ) it's ok
