A friend of mine did our newborn pictures at 10 days. Baby girl is 1 month old today and she still hasn't gotten them to me. It's like I'm on the. bottom of her priorities because I'm a friend. I would really like them so I can send them to family but I don't want to keep hassling her! Ugh.
Today is dedicated to my H. He's been a total ass this weekend. Everything he's said to me the past several days have been nothing short of sarcastic. He was great my first couple of weeks PP but now at 4 weeks PP he's stopped doing anything around the house and he is less interested/more frustrated with LO. Honestly I am happier and prefer when he is gone at work because I would rather be with LO alone than deal with H's bad attitude.
I could've typed this word for word. My H started out strong, but now he's lacking in the helping department. He gets so frustrated when LO cries that he hands him off if he can't make him stop immediately. Last night, LO started crying an hour before H had to go to work and H got up and threw a fit about missing ONE hour of sleep after getting to sleep uninterrupted for 7 hours. I would die for 7 straight hours of sleep dammit!
Dedicating this bitch to the winter for making it too damn cold to go for walks. Although I may become a mall walker since I successfully hooked up the infant seat adapter to the stroller. All i want is LO to get some fresh air damn it! And damn it to everyone who is sick! If I hear about another damn kid or adult that was just around my baby the day before they got sick I'm gonna freak out!
I'm not even mall walking. Our pedi specifically said to not take him to malls or shopping centers for the first two months. I can't wait until it's warmer. Too bad it's only January.

Another for DH! He went back to work this week and his work week ends with an overnight shift. Because of how the schedule lines up I was basically on solo baby duty for 48 hours. Not bad, but then he got 8 straight hours of sleep (because I'm nice) and when he couldn't get the baby to settle back down at 7 am he tried to leave him crying and get back in bed. So we had to have a discussion about what age it is appropriate to try and let a baby self-soothe...

Poor husbands, always getting so much criticism...
That being said, mine also goes out to DH If LO and I are on our own and not spending quality time with him while he's home, whiny husband. But if we ARE all spending time together and we get too loud or "annoying", frustrated husband. If his precious sleep is interrupted after 12 hours of snoring, if I ask him to hold LO for 5 minutes so I can go to the bathroom and she starts fussing, or if I ask him to help stir dinner while I change LO, he has his own bitchfest. I'd say my PP hormones are more in check than his. Last night we finally had sex for the first time PP. Afterward we were sitting there sleepy and content talking about how it was surprisingly good. And I made the (super true) joke about how I'm pretty sure anything would feel good after a 2 month dry spell. And out of nowhere he angrily replies "Like I'm going to give you any compliments you're trying to fish for??" I don't know how my comment would come across as me trying to get my ego stroked in any way, but fuck if I'm going to oblige the next time he actually IS looking for a compliment.

My bitch is on myself. We named our son Fox which is unusual but we loved the name when we picked it out. I have a really hard time calling him that. I don't know why! I still love the name but I always call him sweetie, cutie-butt, buddy, thunder britches, and other silly nick names. What's wrong with me?

I've been thinking the same thing! We named our LO Sunny, which I picked out, but I almost never call her by her name. It's perfectly fitting for her, but I feel like I'm so much more in love with her middle name than when we named her. Which makes me feel horrible.

I've desperately wanted a donut with chocolate frosting and sprinkles. I ventured out of the house today to go to the bank (they were closed and I'm an idiot)... So I went to the donut shop. All out of sprinkle donuts. I was really disappointed. More so than anyone should be about no donuts

No, I totally understand this! Love my sprinkled donuts.

BIG vent here: My MIL is sitting here and is driving me CRAZY. This week she and my SIL have done nothing but criticize my house, myself, and LO. She thinks I'm incompetent because the house is messy and not up to her spotless standards. She just told me that I need to start feeding him solids (LO is 1 mo tomorrow ). Maybe it's the hormones, but I'm over her BS. I broke down today and cried while I was trying to clean up for her to show her I'm a "good wife and mother". MIL offered to buy us a vacuum because she happened to stop by the house this week and saw the mess left over from our Christmas tree that we took out the night before; mind you DH has been working 70 hours a week and I have a LO attached to my boob. She doesn't even know his name...she just asked how to say it. UGH! I could write a book about everything that has happened this week and how small I have felt, but I won't bore you all. DH tells me I'm overacting and that is how that is just her way; she just wants to help.

(1) She can't pronounce "Nathaniel"? Huh?? (2) While my MIL isn't as vocal as yours, I know the disapproving look she gives at the level of cleanliness of our house. I have priorities and they aren't the same as hers. Luckily, my DH is on my side and is just as annoyed. No advice but you are totally justified in your feelings.

If it makes you feel any better, I rarely call our son by his name. His name is Graham, which I love, but since we spend most of our time just the two of us...I call him 'bubby.' It's just what comes out and I don't even necessarily like that I call him bubby, but it's the first thing I think of to say when he's crying! I'm a crazy mommy!
We named our son Justin Ryan but call him junior even though he is not named after dh.

I end up calling Miles "bug" or "buggy" 75% of the time. I have no idea why but just came out one day and stuck.

I went to the ER over the weekend for severe gallbladder attacks (40+ mins per episode). I go in tomorrow for a pre-op consult to schedule my surgery. In the meantime, I can't eat fat, dairy, meats, fried stuff, sugary goodness, or anything that I really want. This sucks and I'm hungry. Never have I wanted a burger more than now haha. BUT I have to remember, on a scale of 1 to childbirth, I did give the attacks a 9 at one point. Don't want that again.
My bitch goes out to my left boob. I had a plugged duct last week which the LC unplugged. Since then Leftie milk production has dropped. I can't find another plug, so I think Leftie is just being a jerk. So frustrating.

Thought DH was going to escape this thread today but he made it just in time. He just gets home from work and the first thing he says? "So you didn't do the dishes, huh?" No. No I didn't.
Diva Dog sleeps 14 hrs a day and I get approx 4 hrs. Never thought I would be jealous of the dog.
I was side eyeing the cats the other day thinking the same thing!!!
Also, DH slept over 9 hours last night and commented how he didn't hear the baby once. 1. I wish to punch him in the balls. 2. That's exactly why him helping with MOTN feedings never happens. 3. Repeat #1.
Already posted in random thread but my bitch is why do you have to use all your sick time and vacation time as part of your 6 weeks off. I was hoping to extend my time off but no go. The only up side is I won't have to pay additional weeks of my insurance premiums. Uggh

My DH has been great, but the sleep thing is rediculous. My son woke up DH 2 nights ago because something was beeping and it was freaking him out. ... DH got up and was walking around but didn't do anything. ... I ended up getting up (with nursing baby attached ) finding it was the baby monitor (it was no longer linked) so I turned it off then back on. Last night DH mentions DS woke him but he doesn't remember why our what happened. ... he was apparently walking around and not even awake. I told him that's why he's useless to help me with LO at night. Oh, and he also complained about being tired yesterday. ...
