So, add it all up & I think I have the right to be a little annoyed. I have a lack of sleep, headaches everyday, a fussy/gassy baby, have not gotten paid (disability) from my employer since July, the stress of my mom's problems, and a husband that works all the time......can we add anything else?
The lack of sleep really isn't that bad but I am sure it is contributing to the headaches. I am not complaining cause I am still feeling so very blessed to have my beautiful little girl. It just makes it all that much easier to get annoyed. My employer or rather their disability office decided not to do their job & failed to file my long term disability claim. So, I haven't gotten paid by them since July. I have to jump all over them to get them to do their job....ughhh.....
Rich works all of the time. I feel like he is totally taken advantage of & he lets them do it. He was supposed to be off at 3:30 today & was supposed to go help my SF clear rubble away from what used to be their house. But, he is still at work at 5:45......so now tomorrow (his day off) he is going to have to do it. He complains that he isn't getting enough time with Danicka, but he is at work all of the time....what am I supposed to do about it?!? I am worried that this is going to be a real problem in 2wks when I go back to work. He is so afraid he is going to do something wrong with her....but he needs the practice before he is pushed into it all on his own.
Danicka is pretty gassy the last couple of days. I am not sure what I have been eating that is bothering her....trial & error I guess until I figure it out. She is so cute. She loves tummy time & loves her little activity mat....she spends a lot of time kicking & waving at it. I can't believe she is already 4wks old. She is finally pushing 7lbs.....& is finally out of most of the preemie clothes even though some newborn stuff is still too big. I am just so amazed that she is mine....I am finally a mommy. So, even with all the everyday complaints I might have ~ there is nothing better in this world then my little princess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hang in there girl. Can't say the lack of sleep gets any better... mine still don't sleep the best. As far as hubby, I have definitely had to learn to be patient. He feels a lot of responsibility to provide, and probably does just let them run over him, thinking he is just doing it for his family. Can't say that will get any better either... mine is like that too. It still takes some adjustment from everyone, give it another few weeks.

I can't imagine how hard it must be having Rich working so much. I have been really lucky that Wayne has had all this time off. I'm positive the lack of sleep is affecting a lot of your mood/headache issues, it's so hard when our sleep is interrupted, not to mention if you're anything like me you sleep so insanely lightly these days that it's more like you don't sleep at all. Of course I wouldn't change it for anything, which I know you feel the same way. I hope that the disability office comes through, I'm frustrated enough with the state of CA I cannot imagine having to deal with my/DH employer.
I know things with your mom has been really tough to deal with I really hope that you are all able to find some comfort and strength to help get you through these difficult times.

Lack of sleep, even from something as wonderful as your beautiful girl, will make everything harder and more stressful. You have had a lot on your plate... hopefully Rich will be able to cut back a little.

You can complain and still love your little one... It's important to vent! It must be very hard to have DH working all the time, he really needs that practice with Dani before you go back to work!

You have ever right to complain.My girls are six and I still get headaches from lack of sleep.It all worth it.Hopefuly soon DH and the girls can spend time together.Wish your mom and SF luck also.It has to be hard on them and you with everything going on.Enjoy the last couple of weeks with her before you go back to work.They grow up to fast and somethimes not often not fast enough.

I can kind of relate. Haven't sleeped in over a week and my husband works all the time. I delivered at 8:24 p.m. on September 8th and my husband had to leave the hospital at 5:30 the next morning for work because there were things being done that he had to be there for. So me and my little man hung out the first day by our self. And that's pretty much how it's been since he's been born. work, work, work!! I could scream!! But I love having him here and feel bad about complaining, but I am tired! I'm sorry your having to deal with so much. I keep you and your family in my prayers all the time. Hopeful Rich can cut back a little.

It's so crazy, isn't it! Lot's of stuff going on at the same time - must be hard. I just have gone back after a year and it feels crazy at times. Hope it all goes well for you.

So sorry your employer is causing you so much stress. I pray its resolved soon. Very little sleep must be difficult but I know it will get better. Just keep thinking of that beautiful girl of yours and you will get through anything. Hugs!

In the midst of all the CHAOS.. you still have the blessings! I can see the smile from here! But it is ok to still complain, you are entitled!
I pray that your blessings continue & the wrinkles get ironed out!
((( BIG HUGS!!! )))

Sorry to hear about all of your stress, try not to let it get you down and just hug and kiss that little princess of yours!

As a first time mother, regardless of how hard the journey to become one, you have a right to vent. You forgot to add that your hormones/body is still trying to recover and that can add a lot of stress to the mix too. You've just been through a life changing event, for the good of course, but still it can be hard to adjust to good things too. I remember right after I had my daughter, being in the hospital, so happy to finally be a mom, but at the same time, I could not quit crying and I had no idea why I was crying. Plus add the sleep deprivation and you become an emotional mess. It will get better though, and you will become adjusted to living on less sleep. Whenever my little girl is going through a tough time I just remind myself that it is a stage and won't last forever. I think that is the only way we get through the sleep deprivation. A big hug to you that it will get easier!
