@ismellbooks, have you left us? I miss you! Is baby M here???
I'll never leave you!
My little star is here. M.ax Dav.id was born via c section on Tuesday 4/12 at 5:28 am. My little star is not so little. 10 pounds, 4 ounces. 22 inches long. I'm absolutely exhausted and absolutely, head over heels in love. Waiting for discharge paperwork now and I'll post some photos.

How is everyone's relationship with DH right now? I feel like we're working really well as a team, but we hardly ever get any time together. I miss him. Anybody have any tips to make it better?

I would say mediocre to poor. I feel like we're roommates, & I'm the slacker roomie who just sits on the couch all day.

I realized a long time ago that my relationship with MH is a lot different then most of the people on TCF. BUT... I do resist the urge to throw the baby at him and run every time he walks through the door.
disclaimer: I love my daughter to death but I miss me time.

I bought E knock-off woombies today to try. Normally I swaddle in a swaddleme or halo sleep sack. Well she freaking hates it. I couldn't get her to settle for long. Unzipped her and she passed out.

My relationship with H is all child and household related. It pains me to be touched by the end of the day because I'm so touched out. Between breastfeeding and being tugged and pulled at by a toddler I just can't handle being touched by another person. So I know he's been feeling neglected. It'll get better...

Add me to the touched out group. I was just getting ready to post how touched out I am. By the end of the day I'm done. H has been patient with me so I'll give him that, but we don't even kiss before bed or anything.

+1. I've had trouble with being touched for years. With 3 kids, forget it...
But H also like to unnecessarily touch. It makes me stabby. I don't need to be groped all the freaking time.

Yes to the unnecessary touching!!! It drives me insane. Please do not annoy me more. If you want to touch me, rub my back or something.

Kind of the same here. He's working on outside house projects after work so by the time we do dinner, bath, and bedtime for the toddler we just want to sit on the couch and watch TV. We need to make more of an effort to talk. Last night we talked for a hour and it was really nice to connect like that. We have a great relationship overall but sometimes need to make an extra effort to connect at her end of the day.
DH and I have ups and downs right now. There are days where he annoys the crap outta me and days where I couldn't live without him. Most of our relationship is kids and chores right now, but we try to hang out for 30 minutes to an hour between DS going to bed around 8 and me and the baby going to bed around 9. It happens probably 4 nights a week. With DS, I felt like things got better with me and DH when C started going to bed earlier and we had more adult time in the evenings. The housework got done, which helps my brain and stress level, and we could actually have a conversation. I'm looking forward to that time again. I think it happened around 5 months with C.

Thanks for this. So happy to know it'll get better.
Definitely agree that once they have an earlier bedtime it gets easier to connect. Right now Eliza Jane is still awake in the time before we go to bed so we're still holding her.

We upgraded to the auto rock n' play last night and it was awesome! I normally spend an hour or two rocking DS every night. I feel so well rested today!!! And I got another five hour stretch from him! Hopefully I'm not jinxing it

I was debating whether to get one of those. She sleeps pretty great already, but it would be nice to have one that doesn't squeak we you rock it... it's been through my 2 kids and loaned to 2 friends for their babies, so I feel like it's biting the dust.
Ugh our hot water heater has a massive leak. Idk how long it's been leaking bc it's in like a utility closet thing that we don't open but there is mold. So gross. Bright side maybe when they fix it (we rent) it won't be so sucky and I will be able to take a bath.
