hi ladies i know you are all a great source of support so i could use some pick me ups.

after a horrid weekend of ds crying i think becasue of the hot weather and having had his injections on friday and being home alone all last week as dh was away, and (omg does the list ever end) probably being hormonal got af monday, i feel down. i could just cry and for some reason i feel dh and are are strained, we probably aren't i just need lots of hugs. i feel really tearful and need some positives thrown at me. anyone else have a hard time like this ever or is it me ;)

Hey Weepy- As a mom, I go through many highs and lows too. I think it's natural. It's really hard having someone being dependant on you all day every day, and babies are certainly selfish. They never give us a break, ya know? It's tough on a marriage too! Those little ones know how to put a strain on things. I'm sure you're tired, and need a much needed break...............Is there someone you can leave baby with, and get a manicure or something like that? Even if you don't, I have found that getting out of the house every day is key for me and DS! Hang in there, there will probably be more ups and downs to come, but it always gets better, trust me. Hugs!

Oh Weepy, I soooooo know what you are talking about. My dh and I didn't really "kiss" if you know what I mean for 5 weeks after ds was born!?! :eek: We couldn't find the time or energy. Plus, when you are deprived of sleep and leisure time everything else just seems to be crappy, even when in reality it isn't.
DON'T WORRY! IT DOES GET BETTER, I PROMISE! We all go through this and having already had one child I do know it stops.
We all appreciate what you are feeling and many of us feel the same way right now too.... Hold on girl, it'll pass!
(((((((( HUGS )))))))))

I know exactly what you mean! Somedays I want DH to come home and pay me nothing but attention and other days I just want him to leave me alone! I know what you mean about being teary too, that just happens and is normal. Sometimes I don't understand because I am the happiest now that I had my DS but sometimes I do feel a strain in my dh and I's relationship. He tries to make me feel better but sometimes I think it is just my hormones!

OH yes.... how long have you and your hubby been together? before the baby...?

My hubby and I - were together for 9.5 yrs. and married for 7 before DD entered... and well - rocked our world.

I know the older she gets the more fun we will have - and hence the reason I don't want another child now.... she is 5 months pretty soon. we had shots and a hot weekend too and now my DH is traveling - I hear ya sister! we are best friends too - so its really hard.

together 8 years and married for 3 but have known each other for 12 years. lots of our friends always say we are a great couple which is true things are fine really i just think due to af i needed lots of hugs thankfully dh understood and was loving when he got in. i guess i am just stressed from a bad weekend with ds crying. dh even said he will take me out on a date oooh ;) . things are fine really just adjusting to having a baby which actually i think we are doing well. we are still in love just both changing our lives. my hormones have been a right train wreck this af and it has been heavier than my lfirst one was.i tell you hormones who wants them do you think i could auction them on e-bay lol - for free even? thanks for all your moral :cool: oh and i got to be in a good mood today england are playing yey come on england :bouncing: - world cup fever

I hear ya on the adjusting - my hubby and I are adjusting well too - its just having the semi bad times that is rough because we didn't really have those before the baby...

Hope your team wins!!

thanks friday poor u.s.a are not doing very well, but then you don't really play proper footballl lol - omg i will get myself in trouble saying this on an american site. dh has annoyed me i have had to compromise and let him go out to watch the maatch i have to stay at home with ds to watch it. i am hoping if i sacrifice this he will do the same for me this is wishful thinking :rolleyes: oooh men

MEN! haahahaha! you should switch and you get the next match - to go out!! hee hee!!

yes I know - our football is so different - I am a big fan of american football but it doesn't make sense that they call it football since they rarely touch the ball with their foot! hee hee!

good luck!!

I think every new mom deserves a hug and a party with presents. It is so hard because we give everything we have to everyone but ourselves. We come last.

I have tough days too, so I'm feeling the pain. I also recommend the maniure or something you can do by yourself and for yourself. I'm of the opinion that if I cannot take care of myself properly (including having alone time on a regular basis) then I cannot take care of my baby or anyone else properly either.

I hope things start turning around foryou soon!
