I am ok just very tired. I never got to nap yesterday for various reasons so I think today needs to be a very very lazy day.

I am getting upset with DH. He doesn't get up with her at night and half the time doesn't wake up when she cries but will kind of roll over and groan. I addressed it in a moment of hormonal sleepiness after she first came home cause I thought he was annoyed/mad and he's not and told me not to think anything of it cause he is f awake and doesn't know he is doing if but it still bothers and annoys me! He does not get up with her or take care of her much at all- partially cause I am exclusively breast feeding so he can't do much with that. By the time he gets home from work she is in a phase where she wants Mama and to eat really close together so even then it's usually me with her. If I ask or tell him to take her he will if just doesn't happen much. I think he would probably like more time with her, in his defense, if just isn't happening right now. I a afraid to let him/ask him to take her at night between nursing because he sleeps really soundly and doesn't hear/respond to her. I am worried if he would fall asleep holding her (which I a pretty sure he would) that he'd drop her or something would happen and he wouldn't wake up and something bad would happen to her. I fall asleep with her on my chest sometimes on the couch but I a really on tune with her and hear her/respond so I feel like it is safer. I try not to sleep with her at all, even on the couch, but I can't help it sometimes as I am so tired.

Sorry that was so long. I needed to vent!

Aww Amy it sounds so hard for you hun. Have you sat down and told him all of this, I think thats the best way hun, its not right that you are this tired and he isnt doing his share during the night.

Cheryl - cupcake updated on FB, all is perfect!

Bailey we talked about the groaning thing and how it upsets me. As for not helping at night it isn't really his fault it is cause he can't exactly breastfeeed her and because he sleeps so soundly and falls asleep so easily Combined with not hearing her like I do I am too worried for her safety. The weekend is coming up though and he was talking about how he has all these projects around the house he wants to do... If I am tired and she won't lay down his project is going to be to hold the baby so I can get some rest at least between feedings.

She's asleep so I am gonna go try and lay her down and get some sleep too. Thanks for all your support ladies!

Oh and x 1000 for Claire!

 

[baileybubs]

Well make sure that he does put his other projects aside and looks after her this weekend so you can sleep. Hope you can have a nap now Hun xxx

[Tawn]

Amy, I hope your dh takes everything you say on board and starts helping a bit more! And that Emily starts to figure out how amazing sleeping at night is ASAP

I know what you mean about breastfeeding and them not being able to help as much, I've thought about that a lot and it does seem tricky cause we want our partners to help but they don't have the milk. Will be interesting to see how that plays out in our household as well :/

Mrsd did hubby get his flight ok?

Cath, how f'ing rude of your in laws!!! Can't wait for you to rub your bfp in their face hun

I have no motivation at all today. I have so much work to do and am doing anything else I can think of instead... Reallllllly jealous of all you MLeavers right now lol!

 

[MrsDuck]

Cupcake congrats again hun I'm over the moon for you xx

Amy I hope hubby steps up to the plate soon hun so that you can get some sleep x

Tawn sorry you don't seem to have any motivation today but at least it's the weeeeeeekend x

Hubby isn't here yet but I'm guessing he's on the train as his flight went ok x

Cheryl the marks deal looked good, just a shame I can't eat otherwise I'd be doing it too x

I hope you all have good Mother's Day celebrations xxxx

[cupcake1981]

Told my bro and sis today, my sis proper sobbed bless her, was so amazed! My bro and his gf said they guessed as i looked preg and my boobs were huge!!

Telling hubs parents on Sunday, had this lovely idea of telling them by getting MIL a book of baby knitting patterns (cos im not keen on the old fashioned stuff and i know she'll want to knit!). Saw a really nice book of modern stuff a while ago but it wasnt there today in hobbycraft . Need to think of another novel way to tell them now.

 

[cathgibbs]

How about getting them a mothers day card for a granny and put the sonograph pic in there?? Or get it photocopied if you dont want to give your pic away?? Im so happy for you hun...

Opks are still pos! Having a bath then im goibg to pounce on df lol xxx
