Dear hands,
Thanks for swelling up on me yesterday and going bright red. It scared the s**t out of me! I had some blood work and an NST and everything is fine.
On the positive side, I did get to see L&D (our hospital doesn't do tours) and I got to spend a good 30 minutes listening to LO's heartbeat and him kicking the monitor for all he was worth!
It also meant I got to post on here, instead of stalking. Hello ladies and the occasional dude - you've all been amazing and made me laugh and cry. I hope to be joining you full time very soon. x

Dh - this morning I sat on the couch crying begging you to skip work because I feel so ill and you said no, you were too busy. So my mum agreed to miss HER work and come over, I sat crying into my sick bowl begging you to stay until my mum got here but again you were too busy at work. Your own your own business for gods sake ... Your not going to get the sack for being half hour late!!!! And then I ring you when my mam had to leave at 4.30 to beg you to get a flyer from work as my mum had to go. You said you'd see what you could do ... And got homelater than normal!!!!!!
Here's a thought for you to ponder on .... I am YOUR wife and they are YOUR kids ... Not my mams, its not her responsibility to miss work and look after the kids when I'm not capable of it ... Its yours!!!
And yes I'm sulking with you!

What is everyone's obsession with giving m daughter a friggin' bottle?
Next-door neighbour: I understand it's your generation that's mostly made you this way. I know you said you only breastfed for 4 days because you didn't get on with it, and that's fine because it worked for you (hey, I nearly gave up on day 4 too). Yes, she isn't gaining weight as she should, and yes she has reflux, but NO she doesn't need a bottle! Please don't come into my house, take my daughter's dummy out of her mouthgrowlmad
then start saying to her "You prefer bottles don't you, yeah you'd prefer a bottle!" 
Nanny: I love you, I do, but I have to tell you at least once a week that formula will NOT make her better! It's not "time" to switch her over, and it won't solve the weight gain issues given that she's throwing up whatever goes down her throat! As breastmilk is more easily digested, she's more likely to absorb more from it before she throws it back up. No, formula doesn't have more "goodness" in it. Even if she did keep it down if I topped her up, all it will do is make her look better on the charts and wont solve the underlying problem. Not to mention the fact it risks my supply. Once again, I can't get too mad because it's a generation thing, but I'm sick of saying it to you so often!! I love you, and don't want to snap at you!

to vixiepoo.Self - try not to go to the family get-together in defensive mode already okay?
DH - you are a wonderful man. I love you. Thank you for bringing me cough drops and food, for making dinner, for doing laundry, and this morning for taking out the garbage unasked.
MollyBoo - you are such a sweetheart. I am so happy that your WW12 ended the day before I got sick because I could not have dealt with you being clingy and needy while dying of the worst cold ever.
Mama loves you, thank you for laughing and smiling and cheering me up when I felt so gross.

Time for another rant
To my aupair: No i did not brake the friggin kettle! I used it an hour ago, and now it isnt working, a lot of electrical things seem to like to break like magic, its annoying- yes, but it happens. And anyway- its not even your facking kettle, so what if you can't make a cup of tea, neither can i!!! I will go to tesco once I have finished my tea- don't give me that look because you have to sit downstairs for twenty minutes while I pop out- I will let you have an extra 20 minutes tomorrow morning if it bothers you that much!
To the hitlers of the 21st century- i parked in the middle of two bays, because the two cars on either side were parked stupidly, and over the line. I dont see you giving THEM a parking ticket???? Ring the facking police if you want, you know i have a point! And NO im not threatening you- merely stating a bloody fact!! On my ticket it says "not correctly parking within the lines of a parking bay". Both of those cars were over the line.
To the woman in the doctors this afternoon- you get your appointment at the time you were given, just because you decided to turn up 40 minutes early for your appointment, does not mean you get to see the doctor early- so don't sit there giving me evils when I arrive 2 minutes before my appointment and get to go in after 5 minutes! Silly cow.
To my ex- No, i don't care you have a new girlfriend. I care because she whacks her children and you want her to meet my daughter this weekend. Aint happening pal. Don't call me jealous, i will hang up on you and you know it.
To my MIL- There is no reason to keep calling me. Seriously, i am considering a restraining order. You can see Analise on the days her Dad has her, i dont want to see you untill i have too, the next time being her birthday 5 months away.
FIL- We have always got on, and you know I still love you and don't mind you coming to see Analise, but don't bring your psycotic wife thinking it would be a lovely surprise. Sorry I screamed at you as you walked in the door, but you know I don't want her near me. I can understand what it must of been like being pressurised into doing it, but say NO, get in the car, and drive away. It isn't hard.

alicemummy, seems you need to kick your au pair to the curb. She sounds far too cheeky for my liking.

Ok. Here we go...
Yes, all of my husband's aunts and cousins - I am in fact letting my daughter be choked by her amber necklace. Yes, I am the sort of mother who lets my daughter choke in my arms. REALLY??? Every single one of you:
"Is she wearing a necklace?"
-I explain about amber necklaces and teething-
"Is it choking her?"
No, she won't be starting purees soon, I just smiled and nodded because after the amber thing I was not going to explain baby-led weaning.
NO I would not like to go lie her down on the bed/on the couch/somewhere. She's content where she is and I am fine holding her, plus hello she could wriggle off the couch!!
Biggest one though - DH's aunt (not the one I usually rant about!). No, MIL does not babysit yet.
For one thing, MIL works full-time and has a busy schedule running her teenage daughter around to sports things.
For another, as you've noticed, Molly is breast-fed. And it's on demand.
And no, "not even on weekends" - DH has one day off a week, it's Sunday, and he wants to see his baby girl too!
DH - thank you for being so helpful and getting my food and stuff.
It impresses everyone when you do that!
MollyBoo - you are my happy little angel and I am so proud of you, letting your great-aunts (who you haven't seen since you were a week old) hold you!! And for not having a melt-down at the end of evening even though you were so tired.

DH - you have no idea what a pain your mum is being. I'm sorry to tell you, but you do know what she's like and you're a little bit scared of her, well you're just too nice to say anything to upset her. I know if you knew that it's been her stressing me out and she's ( one of ) the reasons I started getting anxious and having panick attacks again, that you would do something but I haven't told you 
your dad is not too bad at the moment but he was also stressing me out....turning up at the hospital literally just as I had given birth and was whisked off to surgery for my 3rd degree tear before even being allowed to hold my own baby. Luckily the hospital would not let him in to the delivery suite, do you know how angry I would have been if your dad had met LO before I had even met him myself ?!
MIL - back off! I know you are desperate to spend every waking moment with your grandson because you missed out on seeing your other 3 grandkids grow up (now I know why!) but if you carry on being this pushy I will think of lots of excuses every time you want to see him and you will miss out even more.
And no, DH and I are not going to go on holiday and leave LO with you, are you crazy?! We are a family now and if we go away LO will be coming with us for about the next 18 years!

One more, just remembered.
Yes, she wakes up at night. She's not quite 3 months old! Still a bitty baby! Of course she wakes up night!!
And no, whether she wakes up at night or not of course she is a Good Baby!!!

OH- another day off, another day cleaning the whole house, sorting the garden and looking after lo virtually by myself while you play on the computer or sit on your ass watching tv
I am so bloody fed up of being the only one who cares. I'm tired, starting with a cold and working all weekend, I just needed a nice, quiet day with no stress. Instead of asking why I have an attitude when I ask you not to leave your dirty socks on the floor, why don't you ask why I'm in a bad mood? Or just be a bit more perceptive
To all my friends, family, in-laws, oh- why does it always have to be me that gets in touch or arranges things? None of you ever just text to see how I am, to arrange to see me. I'm never the priority, I'm the one that gets squeezed in if you have no other plans or cancelled for a better offer. I wish I could just say that's it, its down to you but I'd never get out the house or see anyone
To myself- stop being such a mug

OH~ Yes its Thanksgiving weekend, and yes I know when you were single you played Video games all weekend. YOu know have a family, and you cannot stay up till 5am playing said video games. Yes i worked on thanksgiving, and today and yes you had to take care of jaxon. That does not mean that you can sneak of to your man cave when I want/need to clean the house for Jaxon's birthday party tomorrow. Now instead of cleaning Im sitting on the couch, bitching about you, and trying to calm a very crabby one year old down...and now our house will be a complete and total disaster for our sons party. Im going to have to insist our guests were shoes, b/c our floors have yoghurt crusted all over them, and your feet stick to the floor, b/c you let Jaxon through food all over the place yesterday and today.

UGGGH neighbor in the laundry room right now, I am so mad at you!!! First I had to wait nearly an hour to put my laundry in the washing machine and then... Then I come down to take the wet stuff out and put it in the dryer. You're sitting there with your headphones in, 3 of the 4 dryers are full of your clothes and the 4th has someone else's (I guess they beat you to it, huh?).
I'm standing there with my basket of wet laundry (diapers, for my baby) waiting for a dryer to end. One ends. You stand up, take your stuff out, and... put more of your wet laundry in.
Really?
REALLY?
How fucking RUDE. You have two other dryers - the polite thing to do would've been to let me use that one and wait for the next one of YOURS to end.
Fuck you, you're very rude.
Edit to add (after finally getting laundry in the dryer - thanks to someone ELSE) - looking all wide-eyed and sheepish when I come back to the laundry room for the 4th time doesn't make me feel forgiving. It doesn't help anything. Rude, rude, rude.
