Ive been up since 5.30am with ds 5mths, who thinks this is a great wake up time to start the day :rolleyes:. I tried to get him back to sleep but it lasted 40mins and i was up again so i just stayed up with him.....while DH slept thru it all.
Everynight he gets a complete full nights sleep. I get up and do a quick feed during the night, it's no big deal, really.
What is a big deal is DH complaining he is tired ALL THE TIME and sleeping untill 7.35am when he has to be at work at 8am. So i get no help whatso ever with the kids of a morning because he's running late all the time. He selfishly wants to get in as much sleep as possible in the mornings.
He is training to run a marathon and wants to fit in runs before work in the mornings....do you think the lazy thing will gt out of bed? NO. So i try to encourage him with a gentle reminder "babe, it's 6.30 are you running this morning?"......he grunts at me and rolls over snooring. Then later on i get the whole "look, im not a morning person and you know that so dont bug me about it everymonring...." well dont run the marathon then. i really couldnt care because you are not motivated in the slightest to train for it.
Anyways, as im sitting here, now being up for 3hours, DD has woken now. i can hear him snooring away. Yes he gave me a sleep in yesterday and it was lovely and i thanked him. but today it seems it's back to the daily grind and dh gets to go back to his usual daily sleepin's - on work days. How does that even make sense?
Im sick of him being such a bed body. Complaining he needs sleep - ummmm ds sleeps thru the night? yes he works all week but im home all week and i get just as tired and guess what? im up at 5.30am everyday without a choice in the matter.
Go to bed earlier, stop playing on your stupid iphone while the kids are around and for 2 hours before you fall asleep at night.
I hate him being so lazy latley.
When the kids go to bed at 7pm, he lays on the couch saying "i cant be botherd, can i just go to bed?" Argh.

Sorry, just had to get it out before he got up and i sammed him about it....but he's still sleeping away......:no: ]]> General Chat Little Miss Muffet http://www.bubhub.com.au/community/forums/showthread.php?496143-Just-venting http://www.bubhub.com.au/community/forums/showthread.php?496142-weaning-from-formula-to-cows-milk&goto=newpost Sun, 19 May 2013 21:07:37 GMT Weaning from formula to cows milk...

My period was a bit heavier than usual, with bright red blood which i dont usually get. There was no clots just bright red blood for the first 3 days. It wasn't extremely heavy, just more so than usual. My main concern is that I had NO symptoms before or during my period. I always get lower back cramps a few days before my period comes & for the first day of bleeding but I had no cramps at all. It didnt even feel like I had my period!

I also only had a 12 day luteal phase - is that bad?

We wanted to start TTC again this month but I'm worried that my hormone levels still might not be back on track and if I was to fall pregnant I might not have the right hormone levels to support the pregnancy?

Good evening everyone. I'm new here and don't know if I posted in the right spot but basically I need an outsiders opinion. I have 2 year old daughter and am currently 16 weeks pregnant. Hubby and I purchased a house about 10months ago and have been renovating as we go. I'm not 100%happy with our house as we rushed to get it and now I'm thinking it was a bad decision to ever move out of my parents house. Lately I have been having feelings of depression and the other night my hubby and mum discussed us moving back in with them and renting out the house we worked so hard to get, so that mum can help out with my daughter and the new baby as well as us saving money for a house closer to them. On paper moving back makes so much sense because it would cut our travel time to work by over half and save us so much money on petrol and bills but I'm so confused over the decision. I feel like if we move back in with them were going backwards instead of moving forward as our own family. Sorry for the long post I just need someone's opinion who isn't scared of making me cry lol

I have put on 10kg so far but i am only looking fat not pregnant. If i push my tummy out i look pregnant but i am still fitting in to all my size 24/25 jeans (just). At my last appointment i was measuring 2 weeks small but my ob didn't seem concerned.

I am 175cm and started at 54kg so i thought the fact i was skinny to start with i would have a belly by now but is there anyone else like me?

It also worries me that my ob doesn't seem to worry.. I didn't find out i was pregnant until after 14 weeks so never got the chance to test for any of the genetic disorders like downs syndrome ect.. ]]> Third Trimester Chat mon101 http://www.bubhub.com.au/community/forums/showthread.php?496114-28-weeks-still-not-showing http://www.bubhub.com.au/community/forums/showthread.php?496113-Two-week-old-not-sleeping-all-day&goto=newpost Sun, 19 May 2013 08:29:37 GMT Today has been our worst day.

My son has been on 3 bottles of cows milk per day for most of this year and we have been dropping him down to 2 bottles.
Things have been a bit out of sorts in our house with me being in hospital for a while. Then DS got sick and was given medicine for croup. I also think he is having a terrible time with teeth as he is drooling all over the place. About the same time (5-6 days ago) he started refusing milk from a bottle altogether.

He doesn't seem to be drinking as much water either. I am really worried that he will get dehydrated.

What I am wondering is if we were lucky enough to have another child, if we went through the public system (I'm in NSW), would I be made to try for a VBAC or having had two previous caesareans could I opt for an elective?

Our elective caesarean was a wonderful, positive experience, whilst my experiences with having a natural birth and trying for one were very scary with the life of the child very much at risk.

Should I microwave them in the pack until cooked? Or defrost them overnight in the fridge then cook as I would fresh salmon?
