I think we're running out of new names for the days of the week!

BB to post!

Hey girls.

I had a crap night. I ended up fighting with DH about when we're going to take Cleatus to see his family (across the country). I was thinking in Sept/Oct so it's not deadly cold or snowy (Maritimes!) but he got all pissy and mentioned xmas. I HATE going there at xmas, and the first xmas with Baby I don't want to be away from home, living in a hotel (we can't say at his mom's b/c she is in a one-bedroom and goes crazy, as some of you may recall). It's no way to spend xmas! And it's always a let down. Plus, flying there we have to stopover on TO or Montreal, and look at this year - it's been snowed in, ice storms, delays....a mess. I dont' want to be stuck with a newborn at xmas! PLUS we can't use our aeroplan points at xmas. We can go for free any other time of the year. But he was grouchy and fought me on it. He got to saying I was making plans without him. You know, we'd never go back if I didn't make plans. He just isn't a do-er! I am. And you have to book way in advance to use your points. All frequent flyers know that! Anyway, we simply cna't afford $1800-2000 in airfare at xmas either! GAH!!!

Well, I was so mad I couldn't talk to him all night. At about 8pm he started being sucky and wanted to talk about it and I just couldn't. Sometimes I want to have time-out. But he doesn't like to go to bed angry. I said it was fine but I am still mad today. Not because he was a jerk, but because he can't get his crap together about vacation time. He even wants to only take one week when the baby comes. I told him, no I need him for 2 weeks. He has about 8 weeks to play with this year, surely to god he can take 2 when the baby comes!! Another thing, is he is encouraging his mom to come in the summer. I'll have a brand new baby, raging hormones and be stuck at home with a woman who already hates me and is manic depressive. That is just cruel and unusual punishment. She doesn't even like little babies. She says they're no fun. ???

Anyway, sorry for ranting....I am just tired and have a perpetual stuffy/bloody nose...and I don't sleep well anymore....and of course, work situation is still wearing on me...I feel really overwhelmed lately, and this should be such an amazing time for me/us. Instead, he is working OT all the time, doesn't help around the house b/c he's either at work or exhausted, and I am left with a job that people treat me like s*&t at for 9-10 hours a day and all the house work at night, plus a tired and grumpy husband. Honestly, if we had the baby right now, it' would be a gong show. It's hard enough being pregnant with this.

Well.....I better go get some work done....hope you're all having a better day than me!! Write about it!! thanks for letting me rant.

Belle, I hope your day gets better. Sometimes boys really suck huh? Has he ever been around a newborn baby? They are a lot of work & labour's effect on the body is like a trauma and so it takes time to recover. I hope he realizes it before it actually happens. Sounds to my girl like you need a massage! Have you had one while pg? You lay on your side and you get propped all cozy-like with lots of pillows and we can work on anything-even your belly which helps increase nutrients to the baby but massage can really help with the discomfort during pg so I'd reccommend it if you haven't tried it yet. Just make sure your therapist has taken some prenatal massage training.

Well not too much going on with me today. I still am screwed up on my sleeping. Last night at 7pm I was fighting to keep my eyes open but I made myself stay awake because if I had went to bed that early I would've woke up in the middle of the night for sure. Then by 9 I was wide awake and couldn't wind down. It was 2:19 when I turned out the light & then I fought like crazy to drag my but out of bed at 10. Hopefully tonight will be better. It doesn't leave much time for exercise when you sleep half the morning away. Still beautiful weather here today. I'm hoping to fit in a walk before I head to work. Hope you all do great today!

Belle I'm sending you Huge Hugs lady you're having a sucktastic day as for DH tell him you're more comfortable travellign with the Baby when its warm so cleatus wouldn't be at as much risk for getting sick . . .more ppl have colds/flus in the winter and recycled airplane air its not a good idea. as for MIL from **** maybe say you want to make sure you have a schedule set that you're comfortable with before any overnight visitors come. AKA don't let that manic beast into your house till you're ready and don't forget the duct tape in case of snide comments
