Randoms from my week so far

1.) I didn't think it possible but MIL is actually even less helpful than I thought she would be.
2.) My kid is averaging gaining a pound a week right now. He will be 3 weeks tomorrow and as of yesterday he was up to 11 lbs even according to the dr. His appetite has not slowed down at all either.
3.) If my MIL informs me it is "booby time" one more time, I may punch her in the face.
4.) DH gets taking forever to be ready to leave honestly. I thought he was bad but his mom is even worse.
5.) ditto #4 but with snoring.
6.) I am so effing thankful that I didn't have to grow up with MIL's cooking. She keeps running me out of the kitchen or messing with stuff if I turn my back for 5 seconds.
7.) I am sooo looking forward to next week of just my boys and I. Nobody to entertain. Nobody to walk through where everything is. And most importantly, nobody to mess up my light switches!! We have at least 2 sometimes 3 switches for almost every light in the main part of the house. I like them a certain way. I know I'm a freak.

Re: Randoms from my week so far
Driving down the road handing DS1 chicken nuggets and allowing DS2 suck on my finger because he was hungry but I couldn't pull over anywhere to feed him. Oh and I drive a stick! That was interesting. I did the finger thing with DS1 a lot but when you have a passenger (especially one who claims to be there to help) then why is the driver chasing pacis and trying to settle the kids in the back seat?? She was answering work emails. Just like she has been doing all week. And DS1 is obsessed with wanting her phone so he keeps crying because grandma won't give him her phone. DH forewarned her that she would not be able to use her phone around him. She refuses to listen.
2) babe is starting to get fussier about everything this week - eating, sleeping, etc.
3) DH has been so much more hands on than I anticipated. It's so nice to get some sleep.
4) my boobs hurt all the time.
@lrmrtn week 3 was rough for us, big change in her eating and sleeping but I'm happy to report week 4 is better. Hope that the same is true for you!
Nothing to complain about, this is my first week alone with my girl and other then her being a little gassy and refusing to be out down things are going well
@lizjlewin, I hope it gets better. He used to go down pretty easily, now he screams bloody murder for about a half hour no matter whether he's in his crib, swing or being held and just when we think he's good, he starts up again. He's fed and dry so not sure what the issue is. He is also fussy with both bottles and boob even when he's obviously hungry.
2. I really want a dog again. But I think DH is jumping the gun wanting to get a 2 month old puppy when DS is 5 weeks, and we shouldn't actually soend that $150+ right now....
2. My older two children apparently have flipped a switch on their brains to turn them off since school is out and act like they know nothing now.
3. I'm exhausted to the point of severely cranky by the time DH gets home, I'm sure he loves that.
4. Like @pistolpackinmomma I have certain things that I want a certain way and the way DS' s clothes are hung in the closet is one of them. And despite me going behind her EVERY time and rearranging MIL apparently just doesn't get it and is a HUGE part of my previously mentioned crankiness.
5. I really wish people would start listening to me about the way I want things done with DD2 and quit telling me how to take care of her. Ugh.

2. I'm chained to my baby. I love her and want to spend time with her but I'd also like to shower and/or make coffee/use the bathroom/eat. Every time I try to put her down, my H side-eyes me like "wth are you doing?" It's getting old.
3. My sister and her boyfriend are coming to visit in seven days. I'm beyond excited as I think it will help me feel more normal.
4. I plan to ask my H if he will hang out with the baby some time tomorrow so I can go have a drink and fried calamari. At a bar. By myself. The side-eye will be one for the books. IDGAF.
