Liz, that's gorgeous!! Made me teary

Thanks for the songs, ladies!

nzpiper, LOL!!

Well, DH slept in the spare room so I could starfish! ahhhh
Hannah woke at about 1:30 so I popped her in bed with me for a few minutes until she fell asleep again. Put her back in her basinette and she woke again at 6am!!
AWESOME!

Thanks for giving me love yesterday!
If today is crap - I've had enough sleep to cope with it! (Hannah's currently squealing with joy in her jolly jumper - one sock on, one kicked off!).
And DH is home, too. SO YAY!

*clears voice*

Smiles from your bubba and warm bathtime snuggles
Squeals from the wee one and big hubby cuddles
Random ohbaby friends who always sing
These are a few of my favourite thiiiiings

When the baby cries
When the husband coughs
When I'm feeling saaaaad
I simply remember my favourite things
And then I don't feeeeeeeeeel

Oh poor you having a bad day! I loathe bad grizzly baby days. Sort of had one myself, after Jett had a pretty rotton night, but I do think he's teething.

Hope Hannah sleeps well tonight (and Dh doesn't cough too much and keeps you awake), and tomorrow will be a better day!!!

Robyn, AFAIK she's just a black moggy. We got her from the SPCA but I think she has "something" in her because she's VERY loud and vocal.
And I know what you mean - I would be happy to give her away in the heat of the moment, but as soon as things are better I just scoop her up for a cuddle and feel so bad!
You can't win!!

Thanks Emma, it's my favourite photo right now

Thanks Amber and Liz

DH is taking a sick day tomorrow.
I think partly because he's feeling grotty but mainly to give me a helping hand and a bit of a break.
I have so many errands to run. I just couldn't get to them today. So hopefully he'll be happy enough to look after Hannah for an hour or so while I go out and do them!!

Do you have a Bengal or an Asian breed of cat. That's the sort of thing our Bengal would do and when he wakes Lucy, I could just about give him away.

I hate days like that.]]> Wed, 04 Jun 2008 19:41:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17920&PID=403614&title=vent#403614 <![CDATA[Vent : I that pic of Hannah on your...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17920&PID=403606&title=vent#403606 Author: Maya

Thanks

I don't think she's teething. I had a nosey in her mouth and her gums still feel quite soft.
She's asleep now, so I'll leave her, rather than waking her for her 7:30 feed.
I think she was just overtired from the broken sleep last night.

she'll be fine again tomorrow...

So I've had the worst day I've had in a long time.

By a lot of standards it's nothing. Especially compared to some of you lovely ladies recently.

It started off OK. (Well, as OK as a day can be after being woken every half hour thanks to DH with his cough - poor chap).
Hannah was happy and smiley between waking at 8:30 (see, GREAT start to the day - awesome sleep in!!) and 10 when I put her down for her nap.
A switch went off! She turned so feral.
I actually found myself yelling at her at one point to "shut up a minute and let Mummy clear her head!"

She finally went down, after an hour of rocking and reassurance.
Only to wake 20 mins later.

She seemed a bit chirpier, so I offered her the boob.
Nope. No way. HELL NO!
But it had been 3 hours since her last feed, so I expressed and gave her the bottle - which she guzzled.
So I know she isn't sick at this point.
I put her down for another nap. This time I got 45 mins out of her.
Then she continued to be a right royal PITA for the rest of the day.
Then DH comes home and shes all smiles

So she had her 5:30 feed without a hitch and went to sleep at 6.
The cat decided it would be awesome to stand under her basinette and yowl. And yowl. And yowl.
So just as I thought my day was on the up she's now awake again and grizzling like she's been neglected.

*tears hair out*

Thank goodness for DH. Despite his sore throat and fluey symptoms, he's taking care of her while I quietly go insane

Please, oh PLEASE let tomorrow be better.

Thanks for reading, if you still are.

Rant over!]]> Wed, 04 Jun 2008 18:47:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17920&PID=403552&title=vent#403552
