Oct 6. Not too long from now huh? The inlaws are coming to stay here the whole time and they are coming 2 days early to get settled and instructed.
 
Its not over til she shows... :)

Where are you going Casey hun?

Morning everyone

Edit!
Spoke too soon... she got me! :brat:
 
well back from the drop in MW.
She wouldnt try turning her and said that she may still turn on her own. Told me all the things to do that i have already been trying.
Walks, bithing ball, no slouching, swimming, all 4's ect so all i can do is keep at it.
My net app is in 2 weeks so im hoping she will have moved round by then.

I dont know how you can do it casey. I havent left shae yet for more tan a few hours. Im dreading leaving him when i go into labour but he is in the capable hands of my wonderful mum so i have a little piece of mind.

Got shae weighed earlier to. He is 23lb 4 now. still following his line nicely. :)

I think it might be a big mistake to leave him- I mean what if he cries the entire time? What if the inlaws can't handle it? Verna I'm in Hawaii for 7 days. Never left him before! Sorry u got af.
 
It's certainly not over yet Verna!! :thumbup:

Casey- I would get practicing now!! Start leaving him for a few hours at a time!

Laura- well you have got 7 weeks- it's likely she will turn x
 
I agree about practicing leaving him. If you need to leave him with DH a few times first, ok. But he needs to get used to people he doesn't see often and you need to see that he can be ok with other people.
I do recommend when the in laws come down before you leave that you do a few practice runs.

He won't cry the whole time. He will cry some, but as long as they keep him on his routine, he should be fine.

I know I wouldn't have trouble leaving Daniel as long as I was confident that he would be well cared for and would get enough sleep etc.
 
Lou how should I leave Jimmy now if dh is always at work?? Just at night then? Dh doesnt want to come home and spend his few precious off work hours alone with a baby! What should I do?
 
Sorry verna hun :hugs: what now? Are you getting any treatment next?

Casey he'll be ok. It's not like you can really back out of Hawaii!

I def wouldn't be able to do it though - I'd cry just thinking about it :rofl:

Suz I don't know what I was thinking when I planned this! Everyone has assured me it will be fine though, the inlaws, whenever they come stay for the weekend they see how he is and how we do things and they aren't worried about it. DH knows Jimmy and knows his parents and he says it will be fine too. I am like, alright but he might cry the entire time but I hope he doesn't for HIS sake. I don't want him so unhappy he is terrified the whole time.

It will be handy that they have nothing else to do but tag team to take care of him all day. I hope the grandpa helps because he seems like he might just sit and watch tv all day, he really likes our big screen cable television because they have a crap deal at home and here he can watch his stupid hunting and sporting shows.
 
It's booked now casey- you've got to make the best of it! Are your inlaws near enough to come and look after him before hand? You could do it for am hour or so- then for a few hours- then a whole daytime etc...
 
He will be fine Casey - he won't cry the whole time! if they can come more often and you leave them alone for a bit that can only help...

you'll be stressed leaving him but once you get there and hear he's fine you'll be able to chill.

I know S would be fine too if I did the same thing. I guess it is different though because S is BF and so he literally needs me to be there! I know I could pump of course, but the feeding thing would be my main worry! Also we never go on holiday :( so it's actually irrelevant whether I could leave him or not :haha:

x x x
 
I am quite jealous actually casey, you'll get to lie in every morning, lie about on a lounger, swim, drink!!! Will be great fun!

X x x
 
Thanks guys. Its like, we know all the intricacies of how to handle our own baby and how to make him happy and fed and the things he likes and it's hard to imagine someone being able to get the hang of it in a couple days.

Lou they live 3-4 hours away, that is why when they come here, they stay overnight! So they come about every month and a half and stay for the weekend.

I suggested to DH that I go out a few nights in the next couple weeks to see a movie at night and he handle the jimmy care from like 6-7pm through Jimmy's bedtime and he doesn't really want to do it. He said maybe on the weekend. I said, well there aren't many weekends left to practice and don't you think it is a good idea? And he said he didn't know. He just doesn't want to! I don't blame him.
 
he needs to nut up and do it... you're only asking for an hour and the bedtime routine! I know many husbands who come home and take over from the moment they walk in the door and put the kids to bed etc. He's a parent too.
 
I totally agree with Lisa there Casey! He should totally be helping out when he gets in from work anyway if you ask me!! Never mind the occasional night you're asking for!! Doesn't he want to spend bonding time with Jimmy? When does he spend good quality time with him? I would just say "tough! He's your son too- here you go" and just go!!!!!
 
Aww thanks for the support ladies! Hugs. I can see his side tho, he works 12 hr days plus weekend half days so when's his free time to eat, exercise , catch up on sports or his tv shows. I get to workout and watch tv and be home all day with nap breaks. He gets touchy about this cuz he really works alot and would like to unwind.
 
Casey-you can do it. I don't think leaving him with DH will help too much bc He'll be away from both of you. It will be hard to do but u need this and it will be so much fun. I know it's hard tho, I gave myself an ulcer when I went away and left dd for the first time. I promise you these things:
He will eat when he is hungry, even if that takes hours to figure out, he will eat and not starve.
He will sleep.
He will be loved.

Those are the basics, so he will be fine!!! I guarantee he will not be taken care of like you would, but he will be just fine when you return. :D

ugh. No time anymore.

Love you all! I still stalk you. hugs
 
Aww chell I miss u! How did u have time before and not now? Connor is just getting older and needier or did u take on more volunteering?
