Merry xams everyone and congratulations shiny That's great news that your DS is on the mend too. Just make sure kisses are on the cheek and not the lips for the next 40 days! I know you'll be worried though, new baby's are guaranteed to make you more so.
Ive had a lovely time since Olivia was born - until xmas eve when (as predicted on this thread before DD was born)......
-Oh that was funny typing DD !
My in laws spoiled it and had me in tears all xmas eve evening, through every night feed and xmas morning on and off (hormones)!
They have been a pain in the arse all week, turning up without phoning, moaning if they are asked to phone. Demanding to get everything their way.
On thursday Olivia's Jaundice was really bad and the midwife said that morning she would return at 4pm to review her again as she wasn't very alert.
two of the sisters and their daughtrers were coming round so I phoned to cancel with what I thought were exeptional circumstances. Not happy.
They then phoned back at 4.30pm - not to see how we were, but to see if they could still come.
When the one sis that phoned said her 12 yr old DD was upset she couldn't come I stupidly said, oh just you and DD pop round quickly then.
World war 3 errupted bacause the other sis missed out.
We then said instead of having 11 of them on xmas morning now that Olivia had turned up early, we would rather leave it to boxing day so what little time we had with DS, could be relaxed.
World war 4!!
I just flipped and phoned the most offending sis and was not prepared for the backlash..
"she shouldn't have to phone to see her neice, it should be an open door anytime. She couldn't care less how tired I was that was irrelevant. Xmas should be about family (her family) and they should be wolcome every xmas day to see their neice and nephew, Boxing day isn't the same".
I knew they couldn't give a crap about me but I wasn't quite ready to actually HEAR it.
Crying endlesley then insued all through xmas.
I said early they ruined every special occasion in my life and I wasn't going to let them ruin this and I bloody let them . They only see everything as about them and what they can get from it and can never have any consideration for us.
Now Im getting ready to drag DS and DD round the 3 sisters different houses and he so doesn't want to leave his train set .
Right, Ive got it all off my chest now. Not very festive I know and sorry for the moan but now I can breathe a bit now!!!
I wonder if FPT had a xmas baby then? Oh maybe there was more than one xmas baby?
