Tl/dr : H is normally wonderful. Right now he sucks. I'm bitchy.
My H is usually great. I am so fed up with him more often than not lately. I can't decide if I'm just extra bitchy or there's a real reason for me to be upset.
I gave DS a bath and got him ready for bed. I was trying to give DD a bath and braid her hair. He is sitting on his ass holding the baby and yelling at me to go get the baby's pacifier. Seriously, get off you ass and get it yourself. He is coming home planting himself in front of the TV. Then he expects me to bring him food and something to drink all night. Then if, god forbid, he gets his own food, he can't put a damn thing away. Then he has the audacity to make a comment about how nice it would be if I would make sure the house is clean since I'm home all day. Keep in mind, that if I clean during the day while DD is at daycare, she will get toys and things out to play with when she gets home. Which is fine, but the house isn't going to be immaculate with toys out. All of this while M is having reflux trouble and not happy most of the day anyway. I have tried putting him in the k'tan but he fights it and gets pissed about it lately.
ady45 apparently the asshole husband thing is the cool thing to do this week. I'm sorry..
H and I had a coming to Jesus knock down drag out last night and it helped a little. They don't get how hard it is to be at home with the small child(kids) and my H really doesn't get that me working now is a whole new ball game and we have to re work our routine.
I hope you guys can talk about it and work it out!
amberlie I can't post when I'm at work so I can imagine that you really don't have time! You're being super mom right now!!
Are they insane? You're in TX.. It doesn't matter that it's November! It was low 70s here today and I needed to turn on the AC. I hope you can get out soon and get your credit fixed.. That's awful
I'm thankful that DH doesn't give a damn if the house is clean. He noticed if it is and commends me for managing to accomplish something with the kids around, but if there are dirty dishes on the counter he'll rinse them and put them in the dishwasher. The man has a tendency to leave his dirty clothes next to the hamper though. Can't win 'em all I guess.
Thea sleeps swaddled in the RnP in our room. I just woke up to her with both arms completely out, rolled to her side in it. Scared the shit out of me and now I feel like our crib transition needs to happen immediately.
I suppose 5 am is not tecnically MOTN but usually we are all still sleeping. H has to work ridiculously far away so I had to take the dogs out, which meant staying up after 4 am feed so I could be sure to do it before he left and L was sleeping. Guess the day is starting now.
ady45 if he is usually great he might just be a bit overwhelmed right now. I say talk it over but try and be as understanding as possible? Boys - can't live with them, can't live without'em!

I think that's the issue. We talked today and he apologized. We both had time to cool off and talk about it.
ady45 for the first time ever I went into someone's profile- yours) to see the history f recent posts because I missed the post where you talked bout what your dog did (you just mentioned you were cleaning up after him). So I felt all stalkery... And just as I was reading you're messages you quoted me and I got the announcement of it and I was like "how'd she know!?!" Haha I'm glad everything is Ok with ur husband!

Haha how funny. Yeah, I'm still pissed that my dog not only shit in the house, but IN MY DAUGHTER'S BED. Grrr. All I could think was that I'm sure glad I'm not pregnant. I would have been barfing. I mean it was smeared every where.
Dealing with a clogged duct.. This is awful. It's been an issue since I went back to work because my pump never empties me but once I feed Noah at home it's went away. Now, it's here to stay and is red... Sunflower lethticin will be here on Monday. Fx I can get rid of it before then.
I'm sorry layloo08 I've been worried about clogged ducts and mastitis since I started back to work too. My left side doesn't respond nearly as well to the pump so I sometimes have DF bring her to work to feed her. Also bc she freaks out after about 4 hours away from me, even if she has taken a bottle, and won't calm down without boob.
I've been freaking myself out lately about chin to chest while sleeping. E sleeps in a cradle/swing so it's almost flat but not completely. She wakes up constantly if she's completely flat (probably a touch of reflux) but will sleep 10 hours or so in the swing, even when it shuts off after 4.5 hours. She usually sleeps with her head to the side but the fat under her chin is still sometimes on her chest. She has a really chubby face. I can feel that the bone is well above her chest but she's too chubby in the face to have it not touching at all. It drives me crazy. Her cradle/swing is like a foot from my bed and I wake up every time she squirms so I'm pretty sure I'd wake up if she was struggling but it still scares me
Why must smoke alarm batteries always go out in the MOTN? The damn thing is chirping and DH won't get off his butt to take the battery out for tonight. Luckily DS is sleeping through it but maybe if/when he wakes up it might be enough to take care of it! I'm not going to be able to go back to sleep with this thing chirping every 20 seconds and I can't pick up the ladder and bring it upstairs Bc it's too heavy. UGGHHH

amberlie I was so confident about my supply and my pump when I went back to work. Hahahahahha is all I have to say to my confidence now! I wish H could bring him to my work but it's way too far..
Ns pediatrician was recommending we move N out of our room before he's 4months old... And my H asked when we were kicking him out. I'm not ready. I still wake up and check on him... Maybe I wouldn't if he was in his room but I feel like then I'd just have to get out of bed to check on him and DNW that.
I worry about N being chin to chest in his car seat. He has like 4 chins...
Oh god, I love the fact that E is no longer in my room! I missed her at first but we both sleep so much better! And it makes me laugh every morning because she doesn't cry for me, she yells at me. It a "aaaaah aaah" instead of a cry and it always makes me think she's saying "Maaa Maaaa I'm awake! Maaa Maaa come feed meeeee"

I guess the good thing about my df (my phone just tried to correct that to dog.. wtf) being so young and clueless about babies is that he doesn't question much of anything. If I told him E needed to stay in our room until she was 18, he'd just be like "OK baby sounds good" lol but yeah she's definitely not going to her own room anytime soon. If she wasn't so squirmy, she'd be in our bed for much of the night. I would be a nervous wreck, getting up countless times every night to check on her. I have pretty bad anxiety already... so adding on the fact that I'm unmedicated for the first time in 7 years (haven't had my anxiety meds since 12/4/14) and a little baby that I'm always worried about.. my anxiety is pretty much at an all-time high. I would rarely sleep if we moved her now even though she's out for 10+ hour stretches. I'll think about moving her after 6 months when SIDS risk drops but I don't even know about then. She's my baby and I want her by me all the time.
I am just now catching up on this weekend. W was diagnosed with dual ear infections on Tuesday, started antibiotics Wednesday, and he just seems to get fussier everday. And only I seem to be able to calm him down. I thought he was supposed to feel better after 72 hours. Wtf? Rough weekend. To top it off he only slept about 30 minutes in his own bed tonight. Then he peed through his clothes and swaddle. Feeding him now. Hope he'll go down so I can function tomorrow. amberlie I can't imagine sleeping in another room as W either (disregard tonight ). I can't really fall into a deep sleep until W puts him down for the night. I think I would end up sleeping on the floor of his nursery.

I'm sorry he's got the double infection I hope he sleeps for you tonight
packmomma a double ear infection sounds like no fun at all.
Usually Thea sleeps 6-7 hours before waking to eat. Tonight she went to bed at 8:15 and only slept 5 hours. She spit up all over me and is now refusing to go back to sleep. Boooo. I just want to get under my covers. I wish bed sharing would make her fall asleep. I'm tired.
At this rate there is going to be nowhere for this child to regress to sleepwise at 4 months. I only got a 4 hour block and then she didn't nurse back to sleep and didn't stay asleep after I laid her down after bouncing on the yoga ball. Now we're nursing again. I just want to scream and go back to sleep. Unfortunately not an option.

+1 on the screaming. I got maybe 2 hours of sleep combined last night. I just want to sleep.
How's no swaddle shellyr? N is waking up the normal amount of times so far.. Which is a lot lol
Not good. We pulled the swaddle out if the dryer at 2:30 I don't know how we are going to wean her from the swaddle. Once she gets access to her hands, it is game over.

Ugh... We always have swaddled with arms out but he did pretty bad after my last post.. Up every hour and a half.
I'm sorry you're not feeling well. Cough drops? Alice has been up every hour so far tonight. I only get a half hour for every hour that she gets. I cried when she woke up this last time. She's nursing again now.
@missava387 I'm sorry you're not feeling well. I'm finally getting over my cold and sore throat. It definitely is no fun. Get better soon!!
aracale I would definitely be crying over that little sleep. That is rough.
We'd been getting 6-7.5 hour stretches. Then I moved her in to her room, in the RnP, and the last two nights she's only slept 5. Not terrible except she's gone to be at 8pm and 7:30. That leads to me not getting a ton of sleep before she wakes up. I'm tired.
