Big Vent- totally ignore if you want.

Cerys has the stomach bug that apparently everyone has.  We went Thursday to the Urgent care center for Cincy because she was vomitting and had so many dirty diapers I couldn't even count!  

The vomitting has stopped but she was on nothing but pedialyte for 24 hours to rehydrate.  Now she gets similac anti-diarrhea.  She's still having explosive diapers about every 2-3 hours. 

I don't think I can stay sane.  DH has changed a grand total of 1 of this disgusting diapers- at 5am this morning.  And I still had to get up because for whatever reason he decided she wouldn't fall asleep in her PnP (we don't have a crib here because it is in our house, that is STILL for sale in Louisville).  So, even though I have had a migraine since 5PM yesterday that nothing seems to help with, and I drove to four stores last night to find this damn similac that no one has in stock, I had to get up at 3am with her and again at 5am because he is incapable of putting her to sleep.

He brought her in our bed and laid her next to me- WTF?!?!?!?!

I put her in her PnP with her paci and she went straight to sleep, no crying.

I may kill him because at 8am she woke up and I STILL have the migraine, but he is "too exhausted" to take care of her, can I please do it!?

My parents are heading up today to see Cerys, celebrate my birthday and my mom wants to do some outlet shopping, so as soon as I got up I started cleaning.

He's still sleeping.  I swear I want to get a bucket of ice water and throw it on him.

Okay... rant over!

Whew, I feel your pain. Have definitely been there. I think it's time for a come to Jesus talk with the hubs. Hope you are able to enjoy the day with your parents.

I'm sorry that he isn't being totally supportive.  I think you should really talk to him about it.  My DH has always been wonderful, but when I had to go out of town for a week he got to experience almost everything we do as mothers.  Now, he's even more helpful.  I think that they generally don't understand how hard it is for us.  Maybe you could spend a few hours away and let DH and Cerys have some bonding time?

I vote for the bucket of ice water.

Ugh! I'm sorry youre not getting more help! I would go wake DH up and have a talk with him about how youre feeling unsupported. Let him know you are at your breaking point and REALLY need a break from being a mommy and wife. Dont worry about cleaning for your parents-- you are pregnant and have a sick baby, to me that is a TOTAL free pass at having a messy house. I am sure youre parents will understand.

Go take a bath, relax for a while and get yourself cleaned up, clear your thoughts while DH watches Cerys and enjoy outlet shopping your mom! Leave Cerys with DH and Grandpa so you can have some kid-free/vomit-free/diarrhea-free time. I hope youre day gets better!

I think we are married to the same man! If DH even has a tiny cough or gets less than 8 full hours of sleep, he whines and can't get out of bed for anything. Later on, he's all, "Sorry I was so sick..." I bet those dirty diapers are a mess, so tell him he needs to man up or you're going to leave one on his pillow.

He must have known he ticked me off.  He got up at 11 and told me to go back to bed.  Took care of DD, vacuumed the house, did two loads of laundry and mopped the floors. 

That's his way of apologizing.  Normally he is great but this week has been stressful for him at work and he was gone for two days- which is when DD got sick.  He doesn't realize all I had to deal with.  He even told me to go shop with mom and he'd keep the baby.  She slept most of the time, but he still offered it.
