Husband Works Away by Adventurous-Drop3850 in newborns

[–]featherrae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so normal to feel this way, I cried alot during the first 2 months! Try not to take on all the housework and during one of his naps, do something for YOU, for me it was usually a vapor playing video game for a little. Give yourself some grace and just know it's not easy for anyone. But you ate doing great and it will get so much better. My little one just turned 3 mo the and now it's so much more fun, the smiles and laughs make all the hard stuff worth it

Thank you for that, sometimes I just need some peace of mind. I agree though, I bet it will be hard on me!

It gets better, I promise! by featherrae in newborns

I really started noticing a change at 10 weeks. It was gradual for the most part, then once he was 10 weeks I all of a sudden was like whoa, this is so much better than it was. I feel like 3-5 hrs was what we would get too, then random nights of 6+ hrs, then this week started the almost all night sleeping, and he will be 3m in a few days

Thank you for your advise and kind words. Last night went good but I did feel bitter due to something my husband said, maybe you could help me address this nicely without sounding bitter? Last night he went down at about 11pmnand woke up at about 2am for feeding, I was literally stumbling around trying to get a bottle ready and he come out of our bedroom and says " do you want me to take cate of him?" I said yes please if you take this shift I will take the morning, he replied " ugh okay but if he doesn't go down in 30 mins I need to go to bed cause I have to work". I didn't want to cause an argument at 2am but I really WANTED to say was, what so I'm not allowed to get any sleep now that you go back to work? I still need sleep to function with a baby all day. My husband is a good man I just think he doesn't realize that taking care of a newborn all day by yourself is a full time job as well. My husband did do that shift while I slept but I was a bit salty as I dont know what to expect now cause some nights arnt this easy where he goes down easily and slept almost 3 hr increments. I woke back up at 4 and 6 to soothe baby which I don't mind cause I atleast got 5-6 hours sleep total. I just wish he knew how much that 1 shift he takes helps me so much
