I am not sure how long I have to type this...Dreadful night with Bethany. She had a temp and must have felt unwell cause she just wanted to be held poor little possum. She's been sound asleep in my arms for about 30mins and I just put her down so we will see what happens. After 3 shocking nights though I feel like death warmed over. (I am sure you all understand that feeling!) Anyway to top it all off my DH who is usually so wonderful has tapped in to his inner man....conversation had this morning at around 2 am...

Him: I am calling work in the morning and taking the day off...I am too tried....
Me: (rocking bethany trying to sooth her) Ohh but you have been asleep on and off all night that is more than me (or bethany for that matter!!) (also he had sleep all the other nights before too!!)
Him: but then I can help you...
Me: oh ok so do you want to take her for a bit now so I can have a break
Him: mmmm (Drifting back to sleep.....snore sounds)

Currently he is sleeping in bed and I am out in the lounge with the little one. Gee wizz. Granted he did get up at 7 and call work and took her out with him and I got to sleep from 7-9.30. the most consecutive sleep in 3 days!!
I feel bad whinging about it but I can't call in sick or take a day off. I still have to get up each day no matter how bad the night and care for her and do all the house stuff and take him to work etc. Don't get me wrong I love my stay at home mum job wouldn't change it for the world!! Just can't get man logic sometimes! I bet he will be rested enough to play computer later while I am feeding her, getting dinner and all that. Or it will be the typical, "I'll do it in a sec" how long is a man second by the way is a a measure of time at all? Or "I will get her when I finish this" yeah no worries I will just explain to the 8 week old that daddy will be there when he is ready and could she just calmly wait till then. So I end up doing it and then whatever I was doing gets put off and so on I am sure all of you have had the same situation. I just need to vent. Very cranky today. Have a psychcolgist app later should be fun I reckon I can cry through the whole hour.
Well she is staying asleep for the time being so I am going to get some stuff done.
I'll pop in and out, need other mums today to keep sanity!


Sorry for the me post I will try to get back at some point and do personals and be a nice mummy
