Arte, I agree, you need to put your foot down now before your second bub comes along. No offense but your DH is being so unfair, it sounds as if he doesnt seem to understand at all. Him getting free time & you getting none is so not on. If he can even do small things around the house etc, it helps out a huge amount. My DH is terrible when it comes to nappy changes but he does the dishes etc when needed, bath time, takes her out when he gets the paper on the weekends so I get 15 mins to myself, takes her while I shower etc - the small things count.

MD - Ohhh you poor thing, didnt want to say before but my mum said they are horrible!!! I feel for you!! I cringed when I read that you had to have one

Cally - How is your DH now? Has he managed to sleep and get back to normal!?

Rainy - The hairdresser must have been bliss!

We went for a day trip up the coast yesterday, had a good old time swimming at the beach all day & had a bbq lunch, even got some champagne. It was so good, & all my family was there.

Tonight we are off to a dinner with the in laws and BIL & SIL and their boy. Not looking forward to it at all, as its been 3 weeks after my blue with MIL & still we havent really spoken a word to one another - well I have tried. At the wedding last week, the in laws sat at a seperate table, I said hi & tried to make conversation, with no response from either. They both sat there and sooked all night, but we didnt, we had a ball on the dance floor. Then they conveniently went & said bye to DH while I was busy getting down on the dance floor! So its going to be soooo awkward to say the least tonight.
