Alison, don't get down...Maybe like hannah said, DH is not a happy crier. He looks over the moon in the photos at the hospital. I think death is one of those things that makes you cry for sadness and fear. His emotion over Amelia is probably positive and he prob just doesn' spill the tears for positivity...keep your chin up. I am sure he will get better once this is out of his system and maybe his priorities will come back to you and Amelia even stronger.

Hannah, I know how you feel...Just as things were getting better I have been having a few days of crying at night. She is still sleeping ok at night but waking up every 2.5 hours for feeds where she used to sleep for 4-5 hour stretches until 7am...It will pass. You are not alone. I just managed to cut my nails yesterday after god knows how long and my hair just got ashed and only because DHs cousin was here helping me out and my brother watched her while I had a long hair wash and shower. Like Willow, I don't have a sleeper...so I get nothing done all day and feel just awful. I have so much to organize from moving into the apt that it makes me feel worse - I am one of those people who needs order to be zen...

As for DH, I have spoken to a lot of guys who said they had a hard time bonding until later since the baby needs the mother so much, plus all the crying and fussing can be intimidating especially when they don't know what to do - we are with them all day so are used to it. I am sure once she starts reacting more and developing a personality DH will be super hands on. Don't get upset about that, it is one extra stress you don't need. Just understand that for him it might be overwhelming...but that is still no excuse to not help you get a shower in...so let him know that you need him to pull his weight and that it will get easier.

But to all of us with those rowdy little monkeys, just keep reminding yourself that it will pass...We are almost at three months and it should get at least a bit easier at that point. At least, that is what I keep telling myself and my jiggly butt

I am having about of insomnia...been up since 430 - Eva got up to feed and I have not been able to sleep since, so am online ordering photos for the grandparents and getting my emails responded to. Anyway let me get back to that...

I have been thinking of all the MIA girls, Sesame, Suz...I wonder how everyone is doing?
