16? awwwwww... I was hoping it was something like 14, then that way she wouldn't have long to go. Although 2 weeks ago today she was 8oz so she's gaining pretty quick.
It's funny, we measure everything in grams and kilograms here, including babies these days. But I haven't done my obs/gynae round yet so I still measure in pounds and ounces because I compare everything to the size my baby brother was at birth (he's my proverbial yard stick) and he was 6lb6oz

12 oz! not too shabby!!! color me impressed. i really do think we're on our way to the next large baby...but giant baby and mega baby are taken, so what can we call here? enormous baby?
so when Des woke up from his doze he was ok...i took him for a bath hoping to soothe him even further and he started to freak out again
hubs has this theory that Des is just really really super hungry, so he's feeding him right now with the regular flow nipple (we usually use slow flow) to see how he does. He's quiet while drinking but a little flail-y...but that's not out of the norm.
*sigh*
so much for getting sleep tonight. i have a bad feeling about this early morning feed...

You know, I'm still totally not baby hungry. I think I might be totally OK with letting Kesslie be the last one. I feel bad for my hubby, I know he always wanted two, but he's also not too keen on giving me another 9 months worth of shots while trying to keep me from offing myself, so... I think he'll survive too.
So I'll live vicariously thru Em too. Cause I don't think it's happening again for me!

Much as I miss pregnancy I cant do this again. I dont want my uterus to rupture, I also don't think me and mitch are cut out for more than one. Im sitting here right now telling him Im resenting him immensely .. hes sitting on his computer, I had tyler cuz he kept falling asleep for 20 mins, then hed wake up, cry, and do it all again and im getting frustrated cuz this is how his naps all day have been, but now mitch is home and I fully expect him to be working with Tyler while I get what little break I Get.
I was trying to explain that lately I feel like Im doing it all I hear phrases like "do you want me to help change his diaper?" "no. I want you to do it. I want you to spend time with him.." not ask me if i want help watching me change him.. guh
.... I need to breath, If I go back to work this is going to get even worse 0.o ..

I started dumping Kesslie on Dustin when he walks in the door. He's just been to work, sure. But he got mandated breaks and lunches and I DID NOT. So he can have her for 15-20 min when he gets home while I shower and relax.
Might be time to start that policy with Mitch. When he gets home, he's on Tyler duty for a minimum of 30 min while you relax. He got a 30 min lunch, so do you.

he gets an hour lunch but he never takes it, not my issue.. No, I feel that since HE sleeps at night (and Idont get to) and HE gets away from tyler so much that by the time he gets home at 4pm I have been on Tyler duty from at least 11pm the night before until 4:15pm when he gets home... That to me is a verrry long shift and I cant just put tyler down and say the rest can wait til tomorrow. He should be able to watch him from 4-bedtime. -.- I seriously feel thats fair, he seems to think that I should have tyler 24/7 - all Im asking for, is a couple of hours to NOT do it. he did give tyler some more food and put him in his swing, he fell asleep but im sure it wont last long, Tylers having one of THOSE nights -.-
If I go back to work i have no idea how im going to balance this fairly. -.- but this baby was NOT just mine, I didnt asexually produce tyler and it wasn't even JUST MY idea at all -.-

Ash, you're completely fair in what you're saying. I just don't understand how they can't fathom that looking after baby isn't like a full time job - it's worse/different because you can't walk away even for 5 minutes. You love Tyler with everything but that doesn't change the fact that you need shower time and breathing time, not to mention you need to eat. And he should be frikkin happy to spend some time with his baby that he didn't equally produce - you put far more effort into the whole gestation thing. Sacrificing activities, foods, drinks and sleep from many, many months ago.
This is an equal partnership and you've done well enough of your fair share!

Im glad that you think Im being fair, it makes me feel a bit better, Im just frustrated, and he gets frustrated, but he doesnt have to handle it that long like I do. Some days include hours of screaming at me, and while I've never had the urge to hurt tyler I do get frustrated enough to join in and cry too =(
I just want things to be more fair is all, they have gotten better as far as tyler cries less than he used to, he sleeps better at night than he used to, but it's still me taking care of a newborn alone, I need two of me
And the idea of putting him in daycare scares me, what if they ignore him..? -.-

Ha, and men can be so damn oblivious. Me: I'm leaving hon. *kiss* Him: You taking Kesslie? Me: To a root canal? Him: What am I supposed to do? Me: Watch her?
Seriously. Men are awesome sometimes.
To be fair though Ash... he needs downtime too. Work isn't really downtime. Sleep isn't really downtime. I don't necessarily think 4pm to bedtime is fair, he should get to relax too. But it's far more unfair for him to think 24/7 is your job. When's your day off?

Tyler falls asleep around 7 or 8 most nights so mitch gets downtime too =P
But he also has weekends and during the weekends i still do most of it during the day, I think its fair, because if I was working, I would have NO DOWNTIME, This is the issue.
Plus spending time with his child shouldn't be seen as work when he doesn't get to see him very often like I do. I want tyler to know who daddy is -.- I want daddy to have a presence in his life too.
We're looking at daycare, and I totally can't see spending 800 or more a month -.- I really dont know how to tell my boss blah bad position

haha taking kesslie to a root canal 0.o.. Mitch goes with me to my postpartum visits too, mostly so he can check my incision and know what to look for and what i can and cant do (because he doesn't think I'll tell him these things, because I probably wouldnt ) .. lol and I remember sitting there in the office with him and tyler, he was REALLY good about watching tyler during AND paying attention to what the doctor was telling him to look for ... it was cute, but if I ever got a root canal, Im sure he'd be like "You forgot tyler!!!!!" -.- *le sigh* men, men are so freakin sweet.
While tyler was screaming mitch actually said "Yeahhh lets have a baby, good idea" .. I say this about the cat because he yowels in the hall all the time, of course Im not serious because I love my boy cat, but still, I wouldn't say it about tyler.. I kind of just glared, I think he knows we're not getting along tonight and I hate nights where we don't see eye to eye.. They used to be rare but with the addition of a child its getting more common and I think we need to put a stop to it.. I just am not sure how to approach the subject. =(
I want him to know that I am under a lot of stress/pressure lately. Im watching us not have the money we;re used to and it's really not helping. Im also struggling with the "do I put him in daycare or do I not, what's more responsible..?" issue.. and he doesn't seem to understand all that's going on with me, and Im not understanding how he's coping either...
Relationship issues make me a sad panda.
