Hi girls just a quick one I'll do perssies later had a day where Harry doesn't want to be put down and whenever he's awake he wants to eat, I'm guessing another growth spurt.
Question for those with the Hug a Bubs, are they easy to use? Can you get them in and out without too much stuffing around? I think they look great just wondering how user friendly they are?
Hi willow - I love my hug-a-bub! It was a bit daunting when I saw how much fabric is used, but the DVD explains how to put it on and get bubs in. Getting bubs in and out is fairly easy. The only thing is that the fabric stretches so if you take bubs out you need to tighten it again before you put them back in.
Hi Girls - I didn't get on much yesterday as was out most of the day. I did a stupid thing though, had a friend pop in unexpectedly which made me late for an appointment so in my rush to get out I forgot to shut Amelia's door (I was going to go back and do something) before getting in the car and drove out and hit the garage wall, put a nice scratch and dent in my 6 month old car door! I burst into tears as it frightened me. It's not that bad really but still, could do with being without a car while it's at the panelbeaters!!! grrr. Amelia has been great though, she's sleeping 6 hours for the last 3 in a row and after her 4.00 am feed she goes back to sleep for another 3-4 hours, it's great and also more settled in the day, perhaps last week was a growth spurt as she was so unsettled last week and wouldn't sleep at all in the day! She's in her rocker at the moment and she's all excited and has started kicking her legs so the thing rocks, so cool! Gosh they change quickly don't they!
Now sorry for no persies, I need to vent girls. Will try and cut the story down.....we have DH's mates funeral this Friday (he passed away from a heart attack at aged 33 a few weeks ago), anyway, there's this girl who they used to be friends with, she lives in the UK now, well she used to be in love with DH (not the other way around) and she even used to send him text messages while he was with me in the beginning until he told her he was with me and to leave him alone. Well, he contacted her to let her know about their mate as they were in touch still and he wasn't sure she'd heard (go figure considering it was on Facebook but anyway). Get this, she's flying back for the funeral and DH being the Mr Niceguy that he is has offered to pick her up from the airport at 1.00 am on Friday morning and his mum offered her to stay at their house (he daren't ask me)! Now, call me jealous but this girl had the hots for him and hello why can't one of the single guys without a 7 week old baby get up at 1.00 am and go pick her up. The airport is 45 minutes from our house as it is!!!! I'm so angry at him right now and he doesn't get it. He just said I'm jealous and being stupid as he loves me not her. I tried to explain it's not a trust thing it's just weird after not seeing her for 5 years why he has to play the good samaritan when there's other mates who know her who don't have a 7 week old baby at home! He said I could come to the airport with him, yeah right, I'm going to wake Amelia up at midnight to take her to the airport to pick up someone I've never met who also had the hots for you, WTF!!!!
Anyway sorry, probably sounds immature but it's really bothering me and I'm so unhappy about it but he just doesn't get it. I told him girls don't think like guys......I've seen her FB messages to him as he shows me and she says some weird stuff and ends her messages with xx's....my male mates don't do that!
Sorry girls, had to get that out!
On a happier note, Amelia has her 6 week (at 7 weeks) paed check this arvo so looking forward to that. Will check back in later with the results. Hope everyone is having a great day so far. Thanks for listening to me, what would I do without you all. xx
Hi Alison That would definitely **** me off too!!! Especially at the moment with our hormones still not right and not to mention lack of sleep!
I'm sure your DH's intentions are very innocent and he's being helpful and all that, BUT, I completely understand how you're feeling and I would feel exactly the same way! Sometimes men just don't think Does his mother know how you feel and about the history? I'm sure she's just being nice but I also wouldn't be too pleased with her hospitality either.
Don't feel silly for feeling that way it's only human...or female...or both. I'm sure you have nothing to worry about, but he really could have considered your feelings a little more specially as you've just had a baby
Thanks Willow Like you said, I'm p'd off with MIL as well, she just popped in actually and I so wanted to say something but I chickened out. She wouldn't have a clue, they are the type of family that would think I'm being silly and not think anything of it hence why they've offered to do what they have! What makes me even more annoyed is DH said he didn't think he'd have time to come to the paed with me and Amelia this afternoon, so no time for your daughter's appointment but can make time to go pick up her at 1.00 am in the morning! Seriously, if he doesn't come today I'm going to king hit him!
OMG Alison I would be so P***** with that too! ...I bet if DH was to read this he'd be rolling his eyes thinking stupid hormonal women. But really if he already knows you're not happy with the 1am airport run then he should be making big efforts in every other area to make up for it! I wonder if the situation were turned around if he would be ok with you going to do the pick up at 1am?? Grrrr Hang in there at least you have us to vent to. MEN! ...& IL's
Hannah - thanks for the feedback on Hug a Bub. I think it would be a good idea for me to try it out first if posible. The other thing I'm worried about is that Matilda wil feel her movement restricted too much. She hates being wraped or restricted.
Alison - deary, deary me. Silly DH. Surely he should be able to see that picking this girl up at all hours is "inappropriate". He probably sees no problem because he doesn't think anything of this girl. I'm sure its all completely innocent but its still really inconsiderate. BTE I forgot to reply toyour question about the bambooty nappies. I dont' think I'd put them in the wash with normal clothes. I just wait until there's a load of them and that doesn't take long! They do take a bit of drying though which is the downside.
Willow, how's it going? Is Harry becoming more settled? And I've been meaning to ask, how is motherhood this time around after such a big break between kids? Is it different being older?
Hi everyone else!! Hope you're bubs are being kind to you.
Well it's been a pretty full on 24 hours. Th pamphlet they gave me after her immunisation yesterday said she could be a bit "unsettled and grizly. More like hysterical. The poor little thing was SO unhappy. After I calmed her down weirdly the only thing that did it was reading Winnie the Pooh) if I even tried to shift position she would scream. She has never been like that. This morning was a completely different story. Lots of smiles and a big sleep. But then this afternoon she refuses to sleep and is getting really grumpy. DH is out taking her for a walk right now. I really hope she doesn't get hysterical again.
But you know what. I LOVE being a mum. This has been the best thing I've ever done. DH broke my heart the other day when he said that if he'd known what it meant he would have done it all much earlier. I've only been bugging him to do it for years now LOL. Well I should go and do something about dinner while I don't have a baby on my boob!
BTW Perth girls, I think I'm coming back for a couple of weeks at the end of February so maybe we could all catch up.
