Thanks so much everyone for their support. It means a lot to me that people understand what I am going through. I've post on another site that is just women with new babies and it sounds like I am definately not alone in this. there seem to be a lot of dads that don't get really involved until the baby is a bit older and more 'interesting'. I think it is a crock. The dh has been really good with the baby this week, now he's got the baby again this weekend. I'm hoping for the best. If he would take the baby out more and follow the same sort of schedule I do then I think he would manage much better. Being cooped up in the house for 2 days I would probably go nuts with the baby as well.
Jenniffer - hope things went well, let us know how it's going.
Kitty - you were in no way responsible for what that man did, the same thing would have happened even if he hadn't assaulted you. I hope this a--hole was put in jail for a long time?
Dyan - where do you get the energy to get up at 4am??? I'd have to go to bed at 7 or 8pm to get up that early. I don't even get up that early when I have to be at work for 7am. I get up after 6. Before the baby I would get up at about 6:45 as we live very close to my workplace. I'd get up, get dressed and be out the door in about 2 minutes.
Take care all, Happy Hump Day.
