Yesterday my MIL texted me to tell me that she would be picking up LO today. After I basically told her no, she called DH and yelled at him that I was "hogging" her and she should be able to see her whenever she wants to. Umm are you serious right now? This is the FIRST time you have EVER asked to see her and it happens to not work for us. And you do not get to tell me when you will be taking her. She's not yours. Stop trying to stir shit up!

I got nothing except...when are you supposed to shower? I need to shower, but LO won't let me leave her. I always have this predicament. I should probably start showering at night, but in too lazy. Now I'm lazy and dirty. Gah!!!!
@nix55 I have the same problem with my Velcro baby, to get my shower in the morning hours I take LO in the bathroom with me and set him up with toys and lift the fabric shower curtain up so he can still see me through the clear plastic one. It may work for you, may not buys it's def worth a try.
Got my first PP period, 3 months earlier than when I did with DS. I went to the gas station this morning and must have stepped in gas on the ground because my shoes reak. And finally, DD has decided when she doesn't want to sleep she screams and wraps her blanket around her face, WTF?!
So we tried something new last night in regards to LO's bedtime. I let him nap from 7-8 last night, let him play for an hour, bath at 9 and bottle after. He was asleep by 10:30. No big deal. He woke up fussing at 11 so I rocked him back to sleep. Back in bed by 11:30. Good deal. He woke up at 4 and thought it was play time. Back to sleep by 5ish. Up for the day at 8:15. WTH man?!?! I thought for sure he'd atleast sleep until my alarm went off at 9 to get SO up for work. So now I have to rethink this whole thing. Sleep training isn't for us right now because we all sleep in the same room since we still live with my parents and that's where we spend our evenings. But at least LO is always in a good mood when he wakes up!!
I normally put E down on her belly at night because she will stay asleep longer that way. If she is on her back she starts kicking in her sleep and wakes herself up. Well. in the last week or so she has started rolling in her sleep and it wakes her up. She goes from belly to back very easily but she has a harder time going back to belly, especially in her sleep. Last night, I had to get up a record of 7 times to roll her back to her belly. She was trying to get there herself but she just couldn't do it. So I'm running on about 6 hours of broken sleep. I only got 5 the night before. This is not a good start for my week.
And yes, this is a really lame b!tch. I know some of you have things much worse with your LO's when it comes to sleeping and I am very sorry!
ETA: I left my good bra at home this morning so I have to wear my crappy sleep bra at work all day... eff. (I do my first pumping of the morning on my way to work so I just leave my sleep bra on since it is easier to move out of the way than my good padded one. I always change as soon as I get to work.)

I have no advice but I can sympathize! E wouldn't let me put her down at all for two, almost three, days straight.

I'm sick, and I'm pretty sure it was from the hour I spent with my friends and their kids on Friday. Ugh. Those kids are ALWAYS sick. I just hope DD doesn't get sick by me. If she does, this will be the 3rd time she's been sick in less than 2 months. Which, I might add, all of them caused by my friends kids. Don't make plans for parties, or to have family/friends over IF YOUR WHOLE FAMILY IS SICK. Common sense right?

What is sick? A cough? A runny nose? Because O has had one of those since October. We wouldn't go anywhere if that kept us at home. Or are you talking more like the flu, that would be different.
Coughing, runny nose, fever for weeks. The 2nd time she was sick she had the flu.
I'm pretty sure this time I have laryngitis. I can't talk, and just started a fever last night.
Petty mil vent: In my family, growing up, we were taught it was polite to ask for things. "Can you please pass the salt?" "Can you help me move this heavy thing?" "Is it ok if I borrow your whatever?"
My mil never does this. She just tells/demands whatever she wants. "Hand me the salt." "Move this box." "I'm borrowing your whatever."
It used to bug me a little, but now that she does it referring to my baby, it's making me crazy!! "Give him to me." "I'm going to take him for a walk." "Let me take him in the other room."
I really don't have any problem with her holding and playing with him, but I just wish she would be more polite about it. He's my baby, would it kill you to say please once in a while?!? She also just walks up my me and holds out her arms and expects me to hand him over. I want to say "use your words!"

I feel your pain. My MIL asked my H again yesterday why I don't like her. I like her fine, but she's his mother not mine. She wants me to hang out with her constantly and do stuff with her like I do with my mother and then she whines to H all the time that I don't like her. I'm sorry that I don't feel the same way about her as the woman who birthed me and raised me and is pretty much the nicest person you'll ever meet.
She also calls all the time and wants me to leave LO with her. I work all week, when I'm off I want to spend as much time with him as possible. I don't want to leave him. This also starts the I don't like her thing all over again.
I too have had zero downtime this weekend -- and it's a long weekend. And today won't be any different. This whole house hunting thing is killing me but if I insist we take a break, DH will flip. He's so sick of living in our apartment. And I get it but with all the job stuff and the lack of sleep, I'm constantly on edge. I'm suddenly bitchy and I'm not usually bitchy. I feel like a mean person. I want me back.
I totally understand. We were house hunting only a month or so before we had C. It was so stressful, and straining. We decided to actually step back and wait to find our house. Now, we've decided for me to stay home, and keep renting. You guys will find your dream home soon, just be patient. It'll be a relief once the contracts signed and your in your new forever home.
DH watched me cook, clean, wash 8 loads of laundry and wash a shit load of baby bottles while he sat on the couch and watched tv. Yes he had the baby but in between I did stuff for him n baby. Like WTF help me. This am I take the last load out and as he again sit in his ass he tell me " babe you shouldn't be doing all that before work". I wanted to smack him.
