BFP #1 - MC Dec 2, 2015 (@ 9weeks) BFP #2 - Feb 2, 2016 --EDD 10/10/16 --Abigail- October 6, 2016. Heart warrior. October 2017- Began fostering to adopt T, (DOB:November 19, 2013)
Been going non-stop since getting up this morning and now my low back hurts, blah! The whole thing about "no housework" during the 6 weeks recovery from CS is a joke, between the baby's laundry, dirty bottles, etc. it's impossible to follow that unless you have a housekeeper
One of the things my mom and I decided was I was going to keep one of her cats because we had a theory that the older cat ('my' cats mom) wouldn't let her get close to anyone in the house (ex: my mom was trying to get the kitten to come to her and as she crept forward the older cat got in the middle and batted her away) so if we separated them, the kitten could actually become affectionate...
my dh was against this. He loves cats but really didn't want a pet. I had always had cats growing up and wasn't allowed to have one for the last 11 years because of living in an apartment. So I made the decision to keep her without him, in turn I have to buy the food and litter, feed her and change the litter.
I'm kind of over it. I would never bring her to a shelter but I would consider giving her away.
The bf is that i feel horrible about everything: it was my choice, I love her but she is a lot of work and won't even let you look at her (and not just in that asshole cat way but in a 'I'm scared and hate everyone' kind of way), and worse my dd has gotten use to feeding her and keeping an eye out and announcing when she sees her.
I should have just made my mom take her!
Bonus: my dh is still pissy about that cat but there is a stray that had become an outside cat when my parents lived here and my dh tries to catch that cat so we can bring him to the vet so he can come inside! So the cat we have he doesn't want but the cat that is a outside stray, he wants.
Sorry that was super long, it's just frustrating and sad!
Oh, DH, you are tired ? I know, no one has ever been as tired as you when having a baby. Must be nice to still go play golf, go to the range and gym when you want. I see how your tiredness doesn't hurt those activities, just baby related ones.
No baby, a half hour is not what I consider a good nights sleep. Why are we awake again so soon?! So. Sleepy.
Seriously, a mattress commercial came on today and bragged about sleeping like a baby as if it were a good thing. Why does that phrase even exist? who would want to sleep for 2 hours max at a time and wake up screaming or sitting in a puddle of urine or poo? Because that's how my baby sleeps.
Mine dh keeps whining because he has to take care of dd at night now (the almost 4 year old) and she's been sick so she's been sleeping horribly. He came down the last two mornings telling me the exact times she woke up- I was like yeah I know. I heard her crying because I WAS ALSO AWAKE! Yes, you have been getting up (for 2 days) but it's not like when you get up you have to change a diaper or have something sucking on your boob.
Ps on top of making me mad that he thinks he is suffering as much/worse, it makes me sad because I can't be there to comfort/take care of my dd.
