sarah thanks, I know that there is just no pleasing men, just gets very frustrating for me especially when I am the only female in the house.
BabyWrangler LOL at your Ob saying that most people couldn't be bothered to express and bottle feed, he's referring to people like me
bellelass my 19 yo's life here isn't all that comfy, he moved out for a while but got asked to leave by the people he was staying with because he was lazy, we used his old room for the nursery and we only have a 3 bedroom house, so he is currently sleeping on a mattress on the floor in the office, with his clothes still in his suitcase, he is hardly ever home for dinner, and he has done his own washing for about the last 5 years as I refused to go rummaging through his bedroom to find dirty washing. Thank you for you advise, I was just having a bad day. Lila probably uses that 4th day of hers to catch up on the sleep that she misses out on over the other 3 days, it's frustrating, I know.
Katstribe yay, nice to see you here. DS was asked to leave by the people he was staying with because he was lazy, and he had nowhere else to go so DH and I weren't going to make him sleep in his car, so he has a mattress on the floor in the office. Lets that there is a miracle cure out there somewhere. That's great that Molly is doing so well with BF and you lucky bugger getting some 7 hour nights of sleep, the longest Oliver seems to go (occaisionally) is 5, maybe 6 hours but he still then needs his 2am feed, can't wait till he stops needing that one, I think I will start to feel a little bit more human when that happens.
shellbell it's nice to see you pop in here when you can, sounds like Luke is going great, and congrats on the 6 hour stretch of sleep at night, that would be sooooooooo nice.

After my crappy day yesterday I am going to try and be a little bit more positive today, that may all go out the window (including Oliver ) if he is unsettled again today. Had a talk with DH last night and he wants me to speak to someone about how i've been feeling, I think he is worried that I am getting PND and thinks that it is best to talk to someone sooner rather than later, so I will be taking Oliver to the community nurse on Friday and I might have a chat with her. He also said that if I am ever having a bad day I am to call him at work, and as long as he doesn't have any meetings he will come home and work from home.

I have woken up with a sore throat today, I really don't want to get sick, I am the type of person who hardly ever gets colds/flu the last time I had the flu (not just a bad cold like men like to confuse the flu with) was about 2 years ago, but if this cold progresses, it will be the 2nd cold i've had in 4 weeks.

Last night Oliver was such a good boy, but he was so cute, while he was getting his nappy changed he was 'trying' to talk, he had these cute little gurgling noises going in the back of his throat, and we have definitely been getting the odd smile, it's these little things that make up for the crappy days because it just melts your heart.
