I bought a couple of small things for baby today while we were out shopping and OH announces we need to get a thermometer for the bath. I said "yes, there is still lots of things we need".
He said "no there isn't, like what"?!
I said "sterilizer, bedding...." and then he starts to tell me that we don't need a sterilizer.
He asked "what do you need to sterilize if you're breast feeding"?
I told him the breast pump and bottles as well as other things.
He wasn't keen to give up on the idea we wouldn't need one so I changed the subject. There is many things he doesn't think we need or don't need so much of though. Why does a baby need so many clothes?! We have about 7 or 8 sleepsuits!! Lots of day outfits which we were given but I think he'll be in sleepsuits all the time just because clothes don't seem that comfortable for a new baby.
Also I was saying today about the heavy bleeding after the birth and getting something to protect our matress and bedding. He announces that he expects me to be in hospital for at least 3 days after the birth and surly I won't bleed more than a day?!?! When I told him I could be sent home within hours with a vaginal delivery, he wasn't too happy!! He said in France you'd be there for 3 days even with a natural birth and I'll just have to pretend to be ill.
I love him to bits but
