Dear child: I'm so sorry you are spitting up so often and have terrible gas pains. I'm trying everything possible to make you feel better soon. If this keeps up, I promise I will go back to veganism, because I hate to see you suffering.
That said, I got 2 hours of sleep total last night. Please magically take all the naps today.
I need to SLEEP!!! I've slept maybe six hours since Saturday and have been so busy that I haven't been able to nap.
Also, I hate how people want to see my baby when in public. She's covered up for a reason!!
DH...it is NOT the end if the world if baby cries. She's fine! It's not like I let her cry for hours; it's just a couple minutes while I dress her because she hates it.
I have more to bitch about, but I will leave room for everyone else to bitch.
Just annoyed at feeling pressured to travel over an hour two days in a row to visit family for both Christmas eve and Christmas day. And then after we see DH's family all day on Wed they will all be coming to our house on Friday.
I am sick and tired of family and so called friends asking me to text/call/Facebook them as soon as the baby is born tomorrow, with pictures too. It's amazing how they suddenly come out of the wood works and start caring the day before. Too little too late my friends.
I'm really struggling with the nights still. Last night was really rough so pretty much everything is gonna piss me off today.
My nights are filled with contractions 10-20 min apart... They like to subside between the hours of 3am and 6am. Misery. I woukd be much happier if I was caring awake caring for LO!
I'm annoyed that doctors at my OB practice keep "hinting" at induction. Yes, I know my BP is elevated, but so far I am healthy (no other signs/symptoms of pre-e), and it seems that baby is just fine despite their abdomen "measuring a bit on the small side" (I put that in quotes because we all know that ultrasounds are just an estimate, and it wasn't alarmingly small). It really pisses me off that one of the docs (not my primary one) approached me in the hallway at my last appt and said that they're not going to want to let me go past my due date. Look ho-bag, my primary doc and I are on top of things, she is not super alarmed about my "condition" at the moment, and neither am I. I am already coming in twice a week for NSTs and BP checks just to appease you, so just ease off and we will cross that bridge if/when it becomes necessary, and not before then.
MIL Lilijana is not "your baby" if you say ohhh there's "my baby" one more time, I will say something that may offend you. She is NOT your baby, she is your grand daughter. Also, don't get offended when I say you don't need to keep rocking her while your sitting holding her and she's sleeping. I don't want her getting used to that so I'm gonna speak up. Sorrynotsorry.
Lastly, WTF pediatrician telling me complete opposite information about BFing. I don't know who/what to believe anymore and it's making me nuts. Lily is gaining weight, I think I'm gonna stick to what I've been doing. I hate that everyone has conflicting information about BFing. I'm so confused. :-S

Right?! Both MIL and my mom call baby "my baby" and so do my siblings in law. They also ask if they can have and keep her. Gets on my nerves too!!
DD potentially has a milk protein intolerance. Which means I have to cut out dairy. I love cheese, I'm not happy about this development.
I think I have that issue too. LO has reflux with projectile vomiting. It's going to be so hard to give up dairy. Especially with my mom's Christmas dinner. Cheesecake, mashed potatoes, and forgot to mention my lattes. Ugh
I want to throttle my H. He made himself New England Clam Chowder for lunch did not finish it and instead of dumping it in the sink he decided to dump it in the toilet. However, in doing so he dumped fucking clam chowder all over the bathroom. The bathroom that the cleaning lady just cleaned. It better be spotless when he is done cleaning it up.
@gweiners I would be so pissed, too. Newborns should not have to deal with colds.
For the no dairy crowd, I had to give it up with my second. You'll adjust fast and it's usually not forever. I found after a few months that I could eat small amounts like a slice of cheese on my burger, without issue
I want to throttle my H. He made himself New England Clam Chowder for lunch did not finish it and instead of dumping it in the sink he decided to dump it in the toilet.

All of the passive aggressive unsolicited advice. Did you guys know that cloth diapers will make your child bowlegged? Or that if your child isn't wearing a hat it's cold? Or that if it wants to suck on your finger but won't take a pacifier that you are doing something wrong?
These are the same people that said caffeine during pregnancy causes babies with tails.

My MIL does this too. It makes my head hurt. I also want to be like "Don't kiss her face, please," but DH's side of the family is so passive aggressive somebody would probably have a heart attack if I did.

I know, I hear so many different things from every medical professional about BFing. It's annoying! But glad Lily is gaining!

Da fuq? Why would he do that?
His reasoning was that clam chowder has a chunky vomit like consistency and the potato chunks are too big to go in the sink pipes He is really very intelligent the majority of the time. This was a special snowflake moment for him. I will hope it is due to lack of sleep.
I'm tired of people saying that bf'ers should be thankful we can bf. I am thankful, I am also still considering ff'ing bc my baby will still get fed and maybe I won't resent her. I said it! I hate feeding time. It's painful and my LO refuses to open her mouth wide enough. I'm tired of bleeding, cracked nipples...and I triple dog dare ANYONE to tell me I should be grateful!
Yes to this. And Engorgment felt like someone crammed my boobs with so many burning hot coals. I was pretty sure I might die. And I literally have a hole in my nip because my LO won't open wide enough either.
I have PUPPs and as of last night it is starting to get worse. I woke up at 3:00am scratching the crap out of my hand and foot. So not only do I feel huge, gross, swollen, and no signs of labor, I now am going to be covered in a rash from shoulders to foot. Heaven help me. Why have all the "fun" pregnancy ailments decided to hold out until the last few weeks of pregnancy????
I found out the other day that I am allergic to the baby wipes that I have... I'm allergic to perfume or body sprays and I have nothing but scented wipes. None of which were bought by me. So now I have to go through all these tubs of scented wipes before I can use my un scented ones
LO, you've been up since 630am, now that I'm wide awake you finally decide to knock out. Rude. Mom, so glad you came to visit for the week but it wouldn't hurt to change a diaper if it gets dirty when ur watching her instead of waiting for me to do it. DH, get the fk off the computer when u come home from work and help me. Surely your games can wait. You don't need to play for 5 hours straight.

Because people didn't cloth diaper their kids for thousands of years before the invention of disposable. All those poor bowlegged children.
Ob office was supposed to call this morning to schedule my induction for next Monday at 40w1d. I called them to confirm and found out they forgot. There are only 4 induction slots a day at the hospital and they're all booked for that day now. I really don't want to schedule for New Years Eve and they won't schedule on New Years Day. And my ob will be gone for 6 days starting 1/2. I really hope this little girl decides to come on her own sometime in the next week.
wtf SIL. Why the hell would you knowingly bring your sick child with a "pretty high fever" to dinner where there would be 4 other children, including my 3 week old newborn, or at least give us a heads up so we could make the decision to stay home?!
Wtf mom. I tell you on the phone DS is super hungry today and keeps demanding to nurse and you suggest that maybe my milk doesn't have sufficient calories to keep him satisfied? Then when I tell you he's gaining weight perfectly and this is normal newborn behavior, you change your position to suggest that nursing probably won't work out in the future. Please take your negativity elsewhere and kindly Just shut up.

I feel the ecxact same way. I have this horrible pain all the time and I don't know how long I can take it. I feel really bad to not want to feed my baby. Sometimes I think if I ff I wold enjoy my baby a lot more!
The gas pains mixed with pp cramping literally have me doubled over in pain at night. And engourgement on top of it all is pretty sucky. Counting on feeling better by end of next week!
My mom constantly bitches about how us kids are always asking for money. Then she is over here today and I find out she is going to pay for my sister and her boyfriends bis ticket to her place. Apparently 7-11 has a deal where if you buy one ticket you get the other for 20 bucks. I'm sitting here trying to explain to her that it is not that way, and she sits there and tells me I give you money all the time. Yes and we pay her back all the time, my sister owes her a few thousand dollars and my brother stole 800 dollars from her. I told her, cause I know she is going to do it anyways to not come crying to me when her money is gone again and that if she does pay for it that I would rather not anyone come to the house. I get so fusterated cause she takes it out on me when they take her money and my hormones are already at the point that I cry everynight. Yes I'm being selfish and I really do not care.
I have the birthday blues today. Today is my 30th birthday. LO is not here and doesn't look like she is coming before Christmas. I was really hoping to celebrate this birthday with her here and it's got me kinda bummed. Also sad that she more than likely won't be here for Christmas.
WTF hemmrhoids?! I have FIVE hemmrhoids, one of which is the size of a grape, and are excruciatingly painful. I had an amazing recovery after L&D. No swelling, soreness or bleeding after only one week but I still can't sit because of these fucking things. Nothing helps to relieve the pain or swelling either. I am getting them removed right after Christmas (got the ok from the dr today).

WTF cable company. We switched from satellite to cable almost a month ago and we've had issues with internet and tv. Had cable guys out THREE TIMES and they still haven't fixed all the problems. A $20 credit is not good enough! Fix my s*^$ dammit!
Latest installment of the soap opera. My mother texted my MIL and said that they could stay all day because my family "wasn't welcome there". Wtf. Just about in tears over how ridiculous they are.
I have no kind words for your mother but I hope you work it out for what's best for you. Don't worry about them.
Tell them all you want for Christmas is for them to go to hell. What buttheads.

When we first had our LO, a friend passed on some great words of wisdom. 'Comparisons are not helpful. There's not harder, just hard.' I thnk this especially applies to BFing.

Take your fucking shoes off in the doorway. And stop drinking all my Tassimo T disc coffees. Better yet, let's stop visiting til after the new year.
Please shut off so I can sleep when baby sleeps. I need more than 4 hours of broken sleep.
Sincerely,
Perpetually exhausted mama
