Pebbie that's a great sign that things will get better. Glad to hear your trip is going well.

Here's a pic of Calla I took today when she found her thumb to suck. My camera isn't here so I'll have to add some more later

[babyface15]

I have no idea why my pics are always so large lol

 

[pebbie1]

Awwwe that's so cute babyface! ateast your pics are the right way up lol.
Markus is trying to find his thumb but can't get any further than sticking his thumb and half his fist in his mouth hahahaha!
It's so warm here! It's going to be 37 degrees tomorrow. Roasting!!!

 

[babyface15]

haha that's usually what calla does as well
omg 37?? :S is there including humidity? are you still in Holland or UK?

 

[pebbie1]

I'm still in Holland and sweating my tits off!! I've spent all day in the pool and it still is 32 degrees now. We're going to have thunder storms later so it's really humid now!
1 more sleep till hubby gets back and I'm excited which is a good sign. He sounds happier and more relaxed on the phone so I think the week apart has done us good

 

[babyface15]

oh my, what hot sticky weather! I don't envy that.
Although it would be so nice to be on a vacation.

I think it is so great that you guys spent a bit of time apart. Distance makes the heart grow fond they say

I think I could use a few days away from my husband too. He has gone fishing every day this week after work and for a day long trip on Saturday past. I'm so frustrated with him because I just want him to want to be here. But he's going through a difficult time right now and is trying his best to get through it so it's conflicting for me. I got so angry with him tonight but now I feel bad that I'm making the situation worse and not being supportive. Bleh! It's just so much harder to deal with life with a little baby and no sleep. Sorry for the rant but I am feeling like poop!

 

[pebbie1]

I'm sorry to hear that hun x. It is a lot harder when having a baby. I know it's difficult when your hubby is going through a rough time. Mine was/is going through a rough time at work. But at the end of the day, being a mummy of a newborn is pretty hard too and you need to do it together. A lot of men don't get it, hence why I think all mummies should spent a few days on her own, relaxing whilst hubby looks after the kid(s) and has to do what mummy does all day. I think it'll make them realise how hard it is which will make them help more.
My hubby was around during the week etc but he still didn't do anything and it made me resent him for it and that wasn't nice.
Your hubby will need to understand you need him around as its a tough job, especially at the start. And I know you feel bad for being angry with him about it, but lets be honest, will you get the time to go away every night and during the weekend when you have a rough time? Nope, because your a mummy and you never have time off and you'll just have to deal with it. That's what he needs to understand. He can have a rough time but he still needs to be there for you and Calla as no parent gets "time off". Big xxx

 

[babyface15]

thanks love I don't know what I'd do without you ladies during this journey none of my friends have kids and its hard for them to relate to my struggles now.

You are so right and that's part of the reason why I'm so frustrated with him. I came down this morning and not a dish was touched, he said he'd do the dishes if he went fishing. I got frustrated and he just went upstairs and lay in bed. So I went in and said 'I don't get a break when things are tough, what would happen if I decided to just lay in bed because we had a fight??' he said he would have to watch her so I said sure go for it and am now in the room with the door closed. It is killllling me because I actually want to be with her and he's such a grump right now. But I'm going to get a shower and wait it out for a few mins and see :'(

I don't know if im being petty but something has to change

 

[pebbie1]

Babyface, I hope you're ok darling. Massive to you xxxx

Tomorrow is my last day in holland. Back home on Monday

 

[babyface15]

thanks pebbie, he did a good job of watching her while I took the longest shower of my life. it's always so up and down lately.

oh how sad, it must be heed for the vacation to be coming to an end. at least you will get away from that hot weather. will your parents come.visit you again soon?

Cute photo babyface.

Sorry you DH is not helping. My DH is useless too. For example on his last day off we woke up and I asked him to change CJ's nappy and he got grumpy and complained that ever time he lays down I ask him to do stuff. Not only is that 100% untrue but he almost never does anything for CJ and that night I got almost no sleep at all. I have to wait until he is asleep to shower and get DS1 a bath just so I know DH will cope with watching him. It drives me insane. Then he wonders why CJ gets upset when he does hold him when of course from CJ's perspective he hardly knows DH.

Char, I voted for her x

Babyface, it's awful to say goodbye. Just said goodbye to my sister and it was horrible. I don't want to go!! Hubby quickly has gone back to his old habits again, so I'm back to being annoyed again
My parents are divorced and my mum, sister and her boyfriend and their daughter are coming over in October. Can't wait already and I haven't even left the place yet...

 

[OmiOmen]

Done Char.

 

[charbaby]

Hi all!
Quick update. Louis had another session of oateopathy last Wednesday and since then has slept through every night! First night he slept 6-6 then 9-7 then 6-5:30 then last night he was crying feom it being so hot so it was a bit later. He slept from 10 and is still asleep now. Think he's catching up in weeks of missed sleep. He's also having 3-4 naps in the day ranging from 30mins to 2hrs.
Now when he's awake he's happy and smiling and playing with toys and wakes from most sleeps smiling. Last nights hysterical screaming was the first since last Wednesday and soon stopped once he'd cooled down and had more to eat.
Lou is having a growth spurt as he's eating tonnes and sometimes with just 2 hours between feeds. His last feed last night was 11oz!!!! He'd had 7oz 2 hrs before that too.

As for the pnd, I stopped taking the tablets because they just made Mw sick which was actually making things harder. We tried a few different ones and they all had the same effect. Tbh honest since Lou had his tt diagnosed and has been making improvements things have been getting much better.
Currently in York with family and it's been amazing. We've been able to go out an have meals without them going cold and my nieces have been able to play with him because he's not crying all the time.

Had him weighed at 11wks. He is now 14lb 6oz! He's out grown his Moses and is now in a cot full time. He loves it.

Omi- yeah I've had trouble sorting some of my btp. My bgs are still my faves and work really well. I've had one success with a fuzzibunz but as we are away I haven't tried the others. Still need to work on my rumparooz.

 

[OmiOmen]

I am glad that things have improved. It sounds like he is sleeping very well!

I can use my rumparooz, the close parent pop-in, and 1 of my BG 0.4 but that seems to be because they are a Velcro close not snaps. I can't get the snaps ones to have a good fit which is annoying since most of my BTP nappies have them.

 

[charbaby]

Had Marlee weighed last friday she was 13lb 12 onz getting close to that stone mark! Cant believe she is nearly 3 months old! ! How Time flys x

 

[OmiOmen]

The time has gone quickly.

CJ was over a stone a couple of weeks ago but we have the check up tomorrow, because they don't do it at 6 weeks here, so hopefully they will weigh him then. I'm interested to know what he weighs now.

 

[Zfbaby]

I agree. My bgs are all Velcro bar one. My fuzzibunz are snaps. Wish they did Velcro. My rumparooz are Velcro but I think I've been trapping his leg rolls in the nappy. I'll try again when I get home.
