Oh yeah, H was on the Nest the other day.
He sent me an email calling me out on this
IT'S STUCK! lol
Then he assured me he was never on the nest an was just bored at work. But he left me a note this morning and signed it "H." mmhmm...
Re: Oh yeah, H was on the Nest the other day.
Hi Tamb's H!!
Get your butt home and let her have a nap tonight!!
I feel like this gives you a lot of opportunity to have fun with him with amazing posts.
Ex. "My H wants to make love with a dolphin soundtrack squeaking in the background, is this normal?"
lol busted!!
I don't know... he didn't wake me up this morning - just left the bedroom door open so I could hear Joanna if she cried, and he left the coffee pot all set up to brew 4 fresh cups of coffee. So maybe it's a good thing. lol
LOL!!
I have to tell you something unrelated and weird. When I look at Joanna's ticker, I'm sad that my baby isn't a little 3 weeker anymore and that she's already a big girl SEVEN weeker! WTH! She looks so big to me now (Emelia) and I realize I'm being stupid b/c she's still an infant and is only, like, 9lbs or something.
Also, how are you holding up?
I also second you taking this as an opportunity to really mess with his head.
Also - Tamb's H! Please skip your run today and let this girl have a break!
aww
and I can't wait until J is a 7 weeker! haha
I'm doing good. Just normal new mom complaints. I'm feeling a lot less anxious and have gone from worrying about her dying in her sleep to just wanting her to freaking GO to sleep. lol
Are you still feeling better?
lolll
oh, good! (feeling less anxious) What is her sleeping like? Does she have any sort of schedule yet? Emelia has patterned out with going to sleep for the night after her bottle around midnight and sleeps till about 5am - has another bottle before H leaves for work and then goes back to sleep till Evelyn wakes up for school (around 7:30am) So... it's 'starting' to swing into a pattern, but it still sucks. I miss normal sleep. soooo much! The constant sleepy headache is going to do me IN, yo!
Ask tamb to give you a marry me my love and see what happens!
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
Good times.
That's great! Joanna isn't really into any sort of pattern yet, except that she seems to be fussiest between 12 and 2 am.. but maybe that's just because I am trying to get her to go to sleep so I can catch a little sleep myself.
haha.. I keep warning him that my boobs are going to leak when we have sex, and he made some joke the other night about that and I thought of the nest. And then I kind of freaked out because I worried he might be serious.
THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE.
"As of page 2 this might be the most boring argument ever. It's making me long for Rape Day." - Mouse
GOOD. You needed that. You might need that more often, too.
Hang in there, Tamb. You're doing so well even though I know it doesn't feel like it sometimes. You're a kickass mom.
He's really been pretty great about sharing duties, letting me get time to myself, and generally making things easier for me. The running thing yesterday was really the only complaint I've had. And I'm not just saying that because he's lurking!
Not saying he doesn't. Dh did for me too, but you could always use that kind of treatment especially right now!
not because he's lurking either, *wink wink, nudge nudge*
(kidding)
Wait. I think i have a better way to make my point. When C was born, I was all about dh and I splitting stuff up and me feeling like I had to take on a bit more b/c I am the mom and b/c I was home from work more.
HOWEVER, I think we forget to factor in that your body is going through a A LOT of healing and change in so many ways and that it doesn't have to be even splitsies and that it's ok to ask and hope to be spoiled a little bit.
I think I forgot that factor those first few months when I felt like I needed to be superwoman. dh was great, but I think that also made it harder for me to tell him when I needed more - because he was doing a lot and I didn't feel like it was fair to ask for more. But it IS.
At least he didn't see the accurate stat website, a'la boardreader :-)
