dc2 is 4 weeks old, we all have colds, dh went out the other night, decided to drink vodka redbulls (which he's never drunk) along with beer so spent yesterday completely hung over along with his ultra man flu...

we've been taking turns sleeping in spare room to get full night sleep but his one was wasted as he was drunk! i feel so mad at him...

anyway i am swallowing daggers as i have his cold, feeling so rough, c-section scar still hurts (have blood clot above).... and nothing fits!! i feel gross, fat and horrible...

arrgghhh.... please remind me that things will get better and i will stop looking at dh with disgust and letting everything he is doing/not doing annoy me... i.e. making toast on the kitchen counter this morning, not on a plate so muggins me has to clean up after him, picking up his snotty tissues off the bed....

sorry for rant, off to take a bath while baby sleeps... dh taking dc1 to cbeebies this afternoon so i can cry my eyes out then...

Make sure you relax this afternoon when they are all out. You need as much sleep and r'n'r as possible. Big hugs

it´s just the baby blues, and it WILL pass!

crying is good. Drink a lemsip. Hot chocolate, hot bath, hot water bottle, eat nice food only(this is no time to diet, the weight will come off anyway, but later later later) and wrap yourself in a warm shawl or poncho (so you´re warm and not too figure conscious).

Get your DH to give you a massage. Spend an hour on the phone to your best friend. Just feed the family hotdogs or leftovers (won´t hurt them once in a while). Buy yourself a present, some new make up or nice earrings. Make an appointment with the hairdresser for cut or colour. Meet a friend for a cocktail. Get out your favourite movie and watch it twice.

Let me know if you need more tips. You are by law entitled to ALL of the above !!!

...before the end of the year !
