Kalah - Sorry you're going through that! Best of luck with the big move. xx
DH:
- When I asked you to swaddle her before we went to bed last night (around midnight) that doesn't mean put her in the moses basket in the vest she was already wearing which had sick on it, then cover her with a muslin (as it was hot). I told you she'd wake up around 4am if she wasn't swaddled and I'd then have to feed her back to sleep (if she would settle at all) rather than sleeping through to 6-7am. What happened? She woke up, she wouldn't settle after a feed, and she was still on my chest when you woke up just before 8am. This has messed up her napping today, it seems.
- It's our first wedding anniversary on Sunday, and I'm not best pleased we are 5 hours away at your parents house for it. I understand your Grandad isn't well and you want him to meet LO "just in case", but we were more than capable of coming to the decision ourselves without your Dad having to play the "he might die" card and guilting you into it first. Not cool. Don't forget, 1) It's kind of screwed our anniversary, although I would never moan about it as I know you love your Grandad and I understand, and 2) They should feel privileged that they are meeting our LO 2 weeks before my family are, and my family have shown more of an interest.
- I do love you.
- Thank you for understanding that sex was painful for me the other night and I told you to stop, we'll carry on erm.. Doing what we were doing and try again next week
Or Sunday if you're lucky (and your parents don't hear!)
LO:
- Even though you've been a nightmare to get down for a nap today, thank you for the brief nap this morning (even if it took 2 hours to get you down) so I could have the worlds quickest shower, and thank you for napping in your swing just now so I could get something to eat, hang the washing out and clean the kitchen.
- The in-laws have offered to look after you for a couple of hours so Daddy and I can go out for an anniversary dinner, but they said they understand if we're not ready to. I don't think I'm ready to leave you with anyone; you haven't met them before either, and I know you prefer to have milk from me rather than having it expressed into a bottle. If you do come out to dinner with us (which you probably will) pleeease have a nice long nap so I don't have to BF you at the table.. I'm not ready to do it in public yet!! (although does it count that I did it in a "feeding room" at a shopping centre, and some bloke opened the door?
)
- I love you. Sorry I was getting impatient when you wouldn't stop crying yesterday. But thank you for having a long nap while we were at the doctors. Please have a good feed when I wake you up in a minute, and pleeeaase don't throw up all down the pretty dress you'll be wearing to my friends house in a bit!
Me:
- Why oh why breasts did you only let me express 1oz this morning?? That's pathetic!

We didn't end up doing anything because I was such a wreck and felt so so guilty.
