I started work today so my list is already growing. 1. FU DH... he took the LO last night because he will be a SAHD. This morning instead of waking me up when the baby is in the "I am slightly grumpy but you still have time" phase to ask me if I would give him the bottle so he could poop... he lays with LO in bed until the baby is full on scream mode then when I shuffle in bed a little he goes "oh could you take the baby?". Grrr. We're going to have a talk when I get home 2. FU all my co-workers. I am trying to get through my emails and I am having to stop every 3 min. to explain that yes, the baby is doing great. Yes, my husband will be a SAHD. Yes, I am excited to be back. No, I don't have pictures of my LO with me. Every 15 min. No joke. 3. FU PP Body. I thought the most time consuming event in the mornings would be assisting with LO, but truely it is trying to find something that looks professional and acceptable to fit my PP body.
This is how I feel at work today - minus the "armed" part because I can't bring a concealed weapon into a government building
My MIL moved recently and she thinks my H is a perfect choice for a handyman to do random stuff around her apartment. Which is great, considering he works his ass off all week and we really want to have relaxing family time on the weekend, but she's monopolizing him /sarcasm.
Mil is driving me nuts today. She lives with us but usually she's good about giving us space and stepping in only when we need it, like if dh and i are trying to eat dinner and lo cries or something. Today, lo is a bit fussy. She's having a hard time sleeping. She's not getting full on upset, just fussing a lot. Mil keeps "checking" on us, aka being nosey, every time dd fusses. She said something is wrong with her today. No. There isn't. She's a baby. There are fussy days. She's 5 weeks today so she's probably coming up to the 6 week growth spurt. Leave us alone and stop making me feel like I'm inadequate. So now I'm hunkering down in my bedroom all day so that she stops bothering me. Sigh.
Before LO was born DH would only sleep 6 hours per night by choice. For the past 5 weeks I've stayed up with LO in the night because DH was working and I wanted him to sleep. I've made sure he's gotten 6-7 hours per night and most mornings he stumbles out of the bedroom (after I've averaged 2-4 hours of sleep) to gripe about how incredibly tired he is. Kind of want to throat punch him.
I've been up since 1:30 AM because I have two kids who decided they did not want to sleep last night. They took turns waking up. I expect it from my newborn but not my toddler who decided to scream her head off from 2 AM 4 AM until DH finally decided to go sleep on the floor in her room and she quieted down. Nothing would calm her down no matter what I did until DH finally went into her bedroom to sleep on the floor Then she was up for the day at 6:45 and I never went back to sleep. She better sleep tonight. My newborn is a better sleeper then my toddler right now it should be the opposite way around.
I used to love that my fiance was a "live in the moment" kind of person and now I just see it as him not thinking things through and being irresponsible. I'm sick of hearing about fantasy football and how excited he is to go snowboarding and that he's sad that I won't go with him. I'm tired of him not helping until I'm already pissed off so I've been allowing myself to have a short temper because it means things will actually get done!
We have plenty of SO bitchfests on here but I couldn't help bitching about him again, homeboy is on my last damn nerve.
Breastfeeding has been going really well, well except for the breast infection I have. Most likely caused from the round of antibiotics from the last infection I had.
I dressed my daughter in an entirely pink onesie today with a floral hat. While we were running errands someone told me I had a cute son....really!?
I had DD out at the mall last week in a hot pink and purple outfit with ruffles and hot pink socks with bows and this lady asked if she was a boy. SMH.
FU Huggies Snug N Dry. Pinching my daughter's legs so she screamed her head off until we took the diaper off. Then she was happy and cooing. We are back in Pampers Swaddlers and I have my happy cooing baby back.
Also FU SFIL for trying to make jokes while I was on the phone with DH last night while he was on a scavenger hunt for Pampers and DD was screaming in my other ear.
@michelle7482 My toddler had been acting out at night for a couple weeks now. DS1 has been acting like a little fart and getting up multiple times a night. First he needs his blankie put back on and he refuses to fix it himself. Then he "needs his butt cleaned." It just goes on and on. I hope last night was just an isolated fluke for you. I feel your pain.
FU 6 week growth spurt. I know everyone has/is going/is about to go through it but wow is this harder than I remembered with my first. I keep telling myself she'll sleep better and be happier and more interactive once we are on the other side, but when you're "in it" its so hard to see the big picture.
FU DH. We had a baby. That means you don't get to only think about yourself and what you want now. You can't even acknowledge everything I do, or anything I do. It's still all about you in your mind and I'm really getting tired of it.
BFP #1 8/25/12 EDD 4/28/13 Blighted Ovum, D&C 9/20/12 at 8w6d. I'll always remember the first one. My baby Grace.
BFP #2 12/26/12 EDD 9/4/13. DS born 9/7/13. My sweet rainbow.

Fu hospital that didn't send my placentas down to pathology. I want to know if there was an issue with it and you broke your own protocol.
Fu director of said hospital for not calling me back. It's been 2 weeks and I'm still waiting on an answer. You're screwing with the wrong person.
