Oh lisa, no worries I went a bit overboard cos I think the hormone thing is catching. Plus, I'm a rambler... heh, no sh** Sherlock. I shouldn't have reacted but it's typical of me to blame myself.

I'm glad you came back.

Lol. I tend to go a bit psycho occasionally, and have an out burst like that. Next time, just think !

I've also only just managed to kick the PND at last. Part of the reason I changed my name. Wanted to start fresh. But had a bit of a relapse last week. I get a bit paranoid, and read things that arnt there in to things people say.

I guess I've always felt like a bit of an outsider here, because Hunter is technically only 6 months not 8. I've tried so hard not to get jealous. most of the time it's worked, but during afore mentioned episodes I do get a bit narky. Also, the feeding routine you described Fire, is similar to what I always planned. But never turned out like that. I wasn't going to go back to work for a while, but with the business, I was back at work after 8 weeks. Full time. With hunter by my side, as there is no child care in our town, and we have no family or friends on this side of the country to help out. So I never have the time to cook the food for him, even cooking for us is a challenge. I have 1 hour per day, between 8pm and 9pm when my hands are free. I usually spend that on the comp. I guess reading about you doing what I wished I could just set me off.

Sorry. I am being funny here. Please don't take offence.

I get the humour!

I can totally relate to the paranoia & being jealous. For instance : you're still breastfeeding... I wished for that. I couldn't know my boy would be born with a cleft palate which would change every idea I had about being a mother! Lucky for me, I have a wonderful support network (including an awesome DH) which helps me feel like I've done and am doing all I can to help my boy.

See - there I go on a rant!

Go ahead and rant. I think it might help if we all get stuff of our chests more often.
Cleft pallet? yikes! No fun there.
I had planned a natural, drug free birth. Afterall, my baby would be perfectly healthy. Insted I got an emergency Cesaerian at 31 weeks, a week or so in NICU and endless weeks in Special Care. Baby was healthy, It was me. I was stuck in hospital having blood transfussions, and trying to get my kidneys to work again.
Yep. life is frustrating. We just never seem to get what we plan. But so long as we have happy babies, thats the main thing. I think we should all have a rant. And be there for each other.

you're right, lisa. sometimes when ds throws one of his huge tantrums i feel jealous and wish i could throw one too! hey after everything you've been through you were probably well overdue for a rant. hope you're feeling better now.

fire keep enjoying the good times!

nettie that wasn't much of a rant. c'mon, you can do better!

gotta go, dd is roaming round the house and i better go find her...
