Baby Gabby is now 2 weeks and 4 days old! she's doing great, but we are having a little trouble breastfeeding...half of the time she'll latch on fine and nurse well, but other times she'll start throwing her arms in the way of my breast and try to aviod it almost.....it gets sooo frustrating because i know shes hungry and want to nurse, but she's tossing around sooo much we cant do it good. Also Dave sees me get frustrated when that happens and looks at me like i'm hurting her...then he wont say a word to me, and ignore me...i talked to him about it today ,and he just said "you get soo mad, but it's not her fault!" i never said it was her fault, i know shes just a baby and cant help it, but he doesnt understand how tough it is to wake up every 2 hours in the night for 40 mins trying to breastfeed an impossible baby! He gets me soo mad sometimes....i havent gotten any sleep in the past 3 weeks, and he's getting mad at me for being some what cranky! But i guess its just his way of thinking...he will never know until he grows a pair of boobs and has a baby attached to him all day every day.....i mean, dont get me wrong, i love this baby to pieces and everything, but he makes it twice as difficult as it has to be...i almost feel a depression coming on becuase of it....but i'm fighting it.
