Had a rough day? Need a compliment?

Tell me your woes ladies. The positivity train just pulled into the station!

Re: Had a rough day? Need a compliment?
My head hurts.
I'm 3 sizes bigger now than I was this time last year.
I need to put in a new pair of contacts. These are foggy.
Here goes:
1. Still recovering from complications from my pregnancy. Yes, almost 6 farking months later!
2. Some of the people I work with a just jackasses.
3. The stress at work is up because of some things going on. Will be over the first week of June. But #2 isn't helping.
4. DS sometimes sleeps through the night. This isn't helping with my patience.
Also, haven't seen you around in a while. I've missed your wit.

ahh yes well to begin with you are beautiful so 3 sizes bigger or not that should not be a concern for you. And, as they say 9 months on...9 months off. You are only 2 months from having had your handsome little man - but that 2 months makes all the difference - you are beyond the hump of fussy times and ridiculously often feedings - Congratulations.
Now for that head - perhaps a cup of tea?
And might I recommend maybe just switching to glasses for the night?
Jess - Public health nurses see the sh*t of the universe all too often. Unfortunately that means that when they have an outlet they will take it - sometimes that means someone who is doing what they know is best for themselves and their child gets crap about something so silly as BFing. Because let's be honest here, at least you are feeding your child...it could be worse, they could NOT be lecturing you and calling the cops instead. You aren't THAT mom. You are a good mom who got the bad nurse.
Oh boy! I can understand why you would be tired/stressed/etc! And yes, the people you work with are jackasses. Consider it a compliment though that the stress you feel because of the morons around you is because YOU are so capable - otherwise no one would rely on you like they do!
While your son is only sometimes sleeping through the night at least there are those some times. It'll get better! You are here, breathing, right now - and a positive contribution to so many ladies lives on the nest here, so put those feet up and take a break.
I prescribe a cup of tea for you too. And a lavender sachet.
LOL!! You didn't lie, you truely ARE the positivity train and the voice of reason!
Holy cow! I am so jealous you can pump! I suck at it big time! I can't get my titties to cooperate with that at all - nor can I get my LO to take a bottle. My dear, while I can imagine how much of a pain that is you are so lucky it is all working.
Plus you are too darn cute for words. And your hubs looks JUST like one of my friends, Chris - who is a superhero in my opinion, so lucky you - you married a rockstar!
And all momma's of little ladies named Audrey are fabulous in my book
LOL - you mean what I described as the homemade muffin top? Aka when you make muffins and a little of the batter schmears onto the pan and makes a wonky top? Yes dear, I have that too. But on the bright side it will 1) go away eventually, as promised to me by at least 3 formerly preggo ladies and 2) you have an excuse that no one can ever contend with. Wahoo!
1. I feel completely incapable today. Irene has been so fussy and I just can't console her. She was so happy this morning and turned into a screaming banshee baby.
2. I am still in pain 3 months after giving birth. It often feels like my cervix is trying to escape my body. I feel like it's not going to go away until we start trying again when Irene is 3.
Oh my, I know those days. Repeat after me: "It is not my fault", repeat until your fall asleep or believe it. A fussy baby will wear on the most Mother Teresa of mothers - and you are not to blame for feeling like a failure.
I only skimmed the book but Jenny McCarthy's book about the 1st year with baby had a part about this - and her mom said something to her that has stuck with me, she said "Jenny, everything responds to love" So remember, even though you feel at a lose, everything, especially your daughter, feels your love - even when you don't feel like giving it necessarily.
I have a feeling your cervix won't fall out, but I'm so sorry you are in pain. I'm sure you've spoken to your doctor about it and I hope they give you some form of relief soon.
Tomorrow will be better.

Thanks Pivey, you made my day
