I really feel like my husband forgot about us. Its been 5 days since he has contacted me, well 2. Two days ago he just sent a short email telling me to go ahead and buy the yorkie and that was it. He's just there on vacation, so he has no excuse to not contact me. Whats so hard about going out to a phone store and buying a sim so he can call us. I have no way of contacting him because as of right now he doesnt have a number for me to call, and prior to him leaving he forgot to give me his family's phone number. I feel so lonely at home. The only sounds I hear all day is Zachary's babbling and my dogs barking on occasion. I try to find things to occupy myself but its not enough for me to not think about my husband. I've been so lonely, and lovesick that I lost my appetite and it hasnt even been 2 weeks yet (sigh). The weather over here is so horrible so I am stuck at home with Zachary practically the whole day.

Aww I hope dominic recovery time isnt much thats great he did well! How scary for you!

Lily, I know how annoying it is to have a DH who doesnt respond, he didnt even tell me what time his flight was or anything thurs night, I found out by reading his co workers fb status. Occassionaly I go through meltdowns and delete him from my cell phone cause I feel whats the point in having him there if he doesnt respond. As for social aspect, the only way that keeps me sane is my mom phoning me every few days and chatting with some friends online, because I dont know anyone here.

 

[hello_kitty]

I seriously think I'm going to have a meltdown! I'm trying to finish a 50 question quiz in my office and Zachary is crying on and off next door. The quiz and some other assignments for a different class is due 1 minute before midnight today. I havent even gotten a chance to walk my dogs yet. Gosh, I feel like pulling my hair out!

 

[AC1987]

awww do you know when your DH is coming home yet?

This past weekend we've been doing alot of gardening, getting it ready for our summer plants, also I'm planning out a flower garden in the front yard

 

[josephine3]

Aww hello kitty sorry your having a hard time without your oh. Sounds like you need to take a break and get out the house for a bit if u can..

 

[hello_kitty]

my dh is coming back in 2 weeks. I hate having so much hw. My new puppy is soo whiny! I need my dh to come home!

 

[josephine3]

Aww new puppies are hard work sound like U will have ur hands full!

 

[AC1987]

omg I've been SO busy in the garden and not even finished yet!! So far tomatos, bush green beans, green bell peppers, habernero peppers, pumpkin, grape, and blueberry are planted! Next will be corn, pole green beans and yellow summer squash. Oh and I picked up some herbs dill, parsley, coriander, and sage.... I havent even started on my flower garden haha!

 

[hello_kitty]

Ashley - it must be exciting to have your own garden! I wish I had one, but I dont think I would be able to maintain it. My husband and I got a flower during our honeymoon and attempted to plant it. Well, the most we saw from it was a few leaves and then it began to die...

My husband is coming back in 11 days! Sooo excited. Zachary is starting to make farting sounds with his mouth now, and although cute, he is drooling everywhere! He is also always sticking his finger in his mouth and sticking out his tongue.

 

[AC1987]

awww cute!!


OMG!!! a copperhead snake made its way into our house yesterday!! I didnt even KNOW about it til I was ready to go to bed and heard my hubby shouting.. I was thinking really he needs me to help him shut off the lights I come down and hes hiding in the kitchen asking where the broom was LOL! The snake wasn't too big about a foot long, I was more worried because its poisonous... but thankfully he was able to get it into an empty paint bucket which is now sitting outside... I think hes gonna kill the thing today.

 

[josephine3]

Scary snakes! I thought it was bad enuf when i had to chase a mouse round the kitchen! Aww dont kill it tho, isnt there some kind of animal control people u can call? Or release it somewhere safe?

 

[josephine3]

Ashley i try to gow vegetables too iv never had much success with anything other than tomatoes. Also i start out wel with great intentions planting seeds then when they all come up it takes me so long to get round to planting them out. Its so cold here anyway at the moment i havent even started this year yet. Its hard to find the time.

 

[AC1987]

I think planting time depends on where you live, we don't get that cold of a winter so ours is a little earlier. But when I lived in Canada we couldnt plant anything til after the last weekend of May.


Ugh! My DH is pissing me off at the moment..its like I'll try to vent to him.. and instead of agreeing or whatever he'll choose the other persons side. Or put make me feel like I'm dumb for thinking what I think.

Hi ladies,
We have bought a 'grow your own veg set' which we will be planting soon. Last years didn't work except for the peas!
Ashley, I hate it when people do that. You just want some support.
How are everyone's little ones?
We moved Darcy into her own room just over a week ago. When she was in our room in her Moses basket she used to sleep right through the night for a good couple of months. Since moving she only slept through once, the worst night I had to go in 8 times to put her soother back in. She is also a rubbish napper. Exhausted!
The next morning I messaged my oh's sister as she has a 10 month old who she has sleep trained and taken the soother away from. She did a lot of research so she was perfect to ask. So she has given me a technique to use which is AMAZING! Admittedly it's only the 3rd day but we saw results the first day.
For every nap and bedtime turn the telly off, read the same book, place baby in the cot and sing the same song every time (do not use this song any other time of the day), no making eye contact, give a little belly rub too, if baby cries sing the song until crying has finished, kiss goodnight and leave the room. If baby cries, time 3 minutes, if they are still crying, go in and sing the song until they stop crying, leave the room and repeat if you need to. We started this for the first nap of the morning the other day and she settled straight away, the next nap I had to go in 4 times then 2. However, that night she slept straight away for....10 hours straight!!!!! The next day I only had to go back in to sing to her twice for one nap. She went to sleep that night straight away but did wake up once at 4:30 but settled after me singing the song once. She woke at 7:30 but settled herself until 8:30.
This is all without her soother which I took away that first day of using this technique, she was so dependent on it which is why I am so amazed. She has taken to sucking her thumb which I don't mind at all. The song I have chosen is Mamas gonna buy you a mockingbird.
Anyway, sorry for the long post but I am just so happy that I've had a couple of decent sleeps!

 

[AC1987]

wow!! impressive.. I'm too scared to break cassidy of her soother.. I just don't wanna deal with meltdowns haha if I hadnt given it to her in the beginning then I wouldn't care. But shes SO attached to it.
So I'll probably try to once shes older...

Its gotten colder lately so I have been spending the day indoors doing housework haha

 

[Blondiejay]

She's been doing so well, we did have a few wobbles yesterday putting her down for naps but we think she's been hungry. We upped her bottles yesterday and she slept through all night again!

It's getting warmer here, I'm feeding Darcy at the moment with the sun shining through the window. It's going to be a lovely day.
I've got a smear test tomorrow and hopefully having the coil fitted. We haven't dtd since the week she was due!!!

 

[boxxey]

hey ladies sorry I haven't been posting, just trying to get domenic back on track with his feedings after his surgery, he is doing so well now he is eating 4 ounces every 4 hrs and sometimes sleeps 6-7 hours and he has put on all the weight he lost and then some, when we left the hospital after his surgery he was 9lbs 5ounces which is low compared to the 10lbs 8 ounces he was 2 weeks prior, well now he is almost 11lbs and is going to be weighed next week I am posting some pics from the hospital and the last pic will be from yesterday, he looks so much healthier, I hope everyone is good and their little ones are happy and healthy
