Teresa- one word- Douche! dont worry about that guy, just do what works for you. Adrian sleeps in a basinette in the living room with us during the day, or in his bouncy chair, or sometimes naps in bed with me and sleeps in his cot at night, or if he is fast asleep in the basinette we will leave him there when we go to bed and put him in the cot later. In short, it doesnt matter where your baby sleeps as long as he is Sleeping!!!!! That means you can get some more rest too.

For anyones info, i realised that if i put Adrian down in his cot after his night feed and he was sleepy but not asleep he stares at the wall. He used to get grumpy and start crying when i turned the lamp off because he couldnt see the wall. so i just leave it on now and he stares happily until he falls asleep. That realisation saves me getting out of bed a dozen times to settle him so maybe see if your bubs like looking at stuff until they fall asleep?

M2bxx- RE: having a shower. We don't use a dummy with Adrian because wheneva he grumps i just feed him but i have found that a dummy is bliss when i have to have a shower or long car trips. I wrap him up on my bed where i can see him from my ensuite and give him a dummy. Keeps him happy long enough for me to wash my hair and shave my legs which i know makes us all feel much more human LOL He isnt really attached to the dummy yet so hopefully there will be no weaning issues later on. Meanwhile, at least i dont smell like spitup. LOL

AFM- ****y at DH today. He has one job which is solely his and that is mowing the yard. He kept promising all this long wekend that he would do the yard and today at about 3:00 said flat out 'I just don't want to do it' and proceeded to play 3 hours of grand theft auto........Um, i dont want to get out of bed 4 times a nite to feed our son but it has to be done, so i just suck it up and do it! The ONE job he has to do and he does it every three weeks (if that!) meanwhile i did three loads of washing and all the folding, AND fed Adrian all day! Grrrr I just want to punch him sometimes!!!!

Sorry for the vent, hope your DH's are better behaved!
