Such a cutie! You all look so happy

[AMumma]

Thanks Lolpigs. That was a good day lol.

[xAmandax]

Lolpigs, thank you I reckon your right, it's a case of him being stressed and not being sensible and talking about it and being mean and nasty instead... Men, geez.

Mollie, nope he never apologized!

Danni, anyone in your situation would've done the same thing, and there's no point putting yourself through the stress of being in significant pain each time you were feeding, you should be able to enjoy the newborn stage and no one could do that properly in such pain... Now you can enjoy it and know your doing the right thing for you both!

SO we had another fight -so I had agreed DHs dad could stay with us this weekend on the condition that DH cleaned up (Vaccumed and just neatened up, not a full on clean or anything) and I got up this morning and his dad was going to be here in an hour and no cleaning had been done, so I jut mentioned that it hadn't been done yet and he went off at me
Saying I'm a "selfish b**ch of a wife" because I was hounding him about it! I was SO upset- hello, I've jut been through 9 months of pregnancy and a pretty traumatic birth I bring us our baby into our family, not to mention getting up feeding violet all night, plus I've cooked dinner and cleaned the dishes etc every night since being home from hospital... And he calls me selfish cos I was bugging him about making sure he Vaccumed before his dad arrived! He said the fact I won't let his mum stay with us, plus "my actions yesterday" referring to the doctors incident proved I'm a "selfish b***ch of a wife" - anyway I was in tears right up till his dad arrived and managed to pull it together so I seemed fine for his dad, and I'm pretending alls fine so his dad doesn't think anything is wrong but I tell you hes going to have one talking to later once we go to bed. I was so upset I was like, take that comment back! And he was like no, you deserve it! I'm furious.

And on a side note- he never even said thank you for everything I went through with the birth- not that I expect him to say thank you exactly but to show a bit more appreciation would've been nice, let alone THIS.

On a slightly less yuck topic- does anyone else's baby choke a few times while feeding?! It scares me cos it sounds like she can't breathe for a few seconds!

Thanks all for the advice on demand feeding, SO glad you all agree!!

AM, beautiful photos!!! You guys really look very cute

[Mollie89]

Amanda Your hubby sounds like he needs more then a talking too! A swift kick in the head would do the trick! How dare he say you are been selfish. You gave up your body for 9 months, plus gave birth to Violet!!! You dont need that when you are trying to establish breastfeeding, sleep deprived!

[AMumma]

Amanda, your hubby sounds like a di*k. Hugs xx

Levi has been upset and agitated for 2 days. Worked it out, he's already had a growth spurt and also the wind. I've given him a botlle and he's still giving me the same reaction. Poor boy.

Has anyone got there sex life back on track? Poor hubby is feeling a little deprived but I'm not sure when safe/normal to be back at it.

[Mollie89]

sex... whats sex??? DH and I havent had sex since I was 12 weeks pregnant.. But thats only because we werent allowed to after that because of the haemorrhage that I had...

[xAmandax]

Thanks mollie that's what upset me so much I think, the fact he called me selfish after everything I've been through! After everything we have all been through, no one can call any of us selfish!! I was just SO offended! I'm not letting ginger away without apologising.. Just gotta wait till i can get some time alone to tell him how hurt he has made me feel. Thanks for the support *hugs*

AM- yes, correct hehe. Thanks hun glad that you agree!!!! As for the s-e-x - noooo way! Haha. I'm still so full of sore stitches the idea is quite awful! And we haven't done any other s-e-x related activities yet either, I just feel too yuck, sore, exhausted yet.. The GP I saw yday to ask if my stitches were infected told me to wait 6 more weeks before having actual s-e-x... As far as I'm concerned my DH can wait! Haha. But yeah I reckon there will come a time where it feels right, it's just not right now! My tummy is so stretched and yuck looking that I'd feel too self conscious at the moment too..

Edit- mollie, how scary about the haemorrage!!!! Poor thing, that would have been so scary!

[~~Snoogans~~]

Evening Ladies!

My offer to come whack yr hubby up the side of the head is still there Amanda! Douche!

That list looks awesome AM! thanks for doing it So many lil girls!!!

Zoe is going great guns ... erm, not wanting to sound like a braggart or anything...but she actually rolled herself over from her belly to her back :O :O :O

I didn't actually believe what I was seeing! but w00t!

Sex for me hasn't happened for nearly 7 weeks now...and won't until after my 6 week checkup! gah then it will be ON like DonkeyKong!

Heres some pics of the girls

Hope everyone else is going well and bubs are all doing fantastically! xxx

My GP said at my 6 week appt we would talk about contreception but I dont know if I want to go back on the pill because it took DH and I two years to concieve Aubree... So maybe we will just stick to condoms.. Although with my lovely tummy and its tiger stripes Im not sure how soon we will be doing the deed lol

[Cranky Kitten]

Heh, we did have a bit of wandery hands not so long ago, but with the stitches I was still a bit tender and not keen on doing much more than that. The occasions when I've had enough sleep to be getting frisky I've remembered we'd need to go get condoms or something as I am completely paranoid about contraception....with good reason considering past history.

Amanda honey, I'm sorry your husband is being so completely disrespectful to you. You don't deserve that. Hopefully you can both sit down calmly and talk things through - deliberately attacking you is really not healthy.

[Lolpigs]

OMG seriously? He said that? O.o Perhaps the dramas with his mother are getting to him? but still... I think I would have punched my husband in the mouth if he started calling me a ***** of a wife.. gees..

I really hope that he calms down soon for you hun and you can get it sorted. You definatley do not need that kind of emotional upheval while you have a new baby. You need support and kindness. Fingers crossed for you.

Amumma, our sex life is nowhwere near what it used to but we are slowly getting there. Finding time when bubs is asleep for awhile and us both not being exhuasted is the hard part. My husband is feeling the same LOL, but we try to make time even just for cuddles or a shower together whenever we can to stay connected in the meantime. Yeah my OB said at 6 weeks we will talk about contraception. I hadn't been on the pill for ages becuase I was giving my body a break, perhaps back to condoms? I dunno. Hesitant about the pill as it will probably dry up what little milk I have.

I'm getting exhausted from all the pumping. I'm really struggling today. Hope it gets better. We will be 4 weeks on monday of comp feeding

That is brilliant Nikky congratulations! I get giggles and tounges poked out at me hehe

[AMumma]

Ok so after some research (google lol). It seems 6 weeks is the normal after tearing and stitches, which I'm fine with but wanted to know. Hubby has been great but he hasn't had any action for a while lol.

[Mollie89]

Amanda yeah it was pretty scary, especially because DH was away with work so I was home alone. Drove myself to hospital, (thank god my mum could meet me there) I had to stay over night and wasnt told anything, so I had no idea what was going on and weather or not Aubree was even still there. They were on the brink of giving me a blood transfusion because I had lost so much blood.. But we came good and thats all that matters.. And now I have my little Aubree <3

Lolpigs WELL DONE It must be hard work!

I love weekends having DH home today has been lovely.. and we had nice weather today which was great. DH and I took Aubree out for a walk through our lovely complex to show her off to all the oldies who were doing gardening. And then we went and did some shopping at Costco..... Lucky me.. when we got to Costco and I was getting Aubree out of the car she had done a number 3!!! POOP everywhere.. It was all the way up to her armpits! It took me 20 minutes just to get her cleaned up and dressed in a clean outfit! lol I didnt realize so much poop could come out of such a small person :P


I love how protective/supportive we are of one another! Its nice to have these groups to turn to if your having a crappy day

EDIT: I forgot to add... Have any of you found that people have given your kids nicknames? and what are your thoughts on it???

Hi

We've had a really tough time here. Jess was screaming in pain constantly not sleeping for more than 10 mins at a time. We worked out that she has reflux. I was so lucky to get an appointment with our paed on Friday. She performed on cue and started screaming as soon as she was lying flat then all of this curdled milk came up.

Paed confirmed either reflux or allergy. We now have a thickener to add to her formula. That's why she wouldn't breastfeed. Because they are lying reclined the acid must've been coming up and down

On top of it all DH fainted on a plane in Brisbane. I just got this call telling me he was in an ambulance. My brother had to fly up there so we knew what was going on. He had high fever and now is sick so can't help me much at all. It's just getting to be too much

[Mollie89]

oh Jan!! I hope your DH has a speedy recovery. Poor little Jess! I hope that the thickener works for her!

[~~Snoogans~~]

Bl00dy hell Jan!

What a few days for you! Hope hubby is on his way to feeling better! Can yr mum come over to give you some rest?
Fingers are crossed that lil Jess likes the thickener and it helps with her feeding and helps her get some sleep! poor lil tyke

LOL - hehe I get looks of *whatEVER mum* ... oh and boy this kid does NOT like to be woken up! just like her dadda!

Yay my mum comes over in 12 sleeps! (harriett has a countdown on the fridge lol) ... can't wait to see mum with her newest granddaughter!
