RLT works wonders for after pains

Beautiful baby thorz!

Well I guess that might be one benefit to having a C-section. If my post cramps are bad I don't notice because I am so medicated from surgery.

I had my MIL here for two weeks and it was a long two weeks. She didn't help with much except for holding the baby. She couldn't even change a diaper?? Rather irritating and she even had the nerve to say "it has been so nice to not have to cook or do anything while I have been visiting you." I wanted to slap her but it would have hurt my incision too much At least she doesn't live here and she is gone now. I was feeling horrible while she was here but as soon as she left I felt much better. She is a really nice person however, when you have just had a baby and a really bad C-section the last thing you need to take care of is an adult!!

Oh sorry Wanting Pink that sounds not so fun, I cannot believe she said that.

My after pains are a lot better today, at least they are tolerable. Tomorrow is my moms last day here. My MIL is here until the end of OCT. and my BFF is flying out for a week in Oct. I LOVE my mom she is great, but she is getting up there in years, and hasn't been the kind of help I was expecting, so I think I am ready for her to go back home. My MIL is very helpful at the moment, but she just got here, so we will see how long that will last. My BFF is AWESOME!!! I cannot wait to see her. It has almost been 2 years since we've seen one another!

Macie is so wonderful, really just a super duper sweet beautiful baby! I'm nervous for DH to go back to work though, 4 kiddos is a lot! I really haven't rested at ALL though since having the baby, so I cannot imagine what it will be like when I am on my own. I'm a bit scared.

Here are some pics I took of Macie today..... DH teases me that I treat her like a doll to play with! How can I not!!! She is too cute to not dress her up and take her pics!4dayMacie.jpgsweet Macie.jpgRufflebum.jpg

WantingPink, I had that with DH's grandmother after DD3, his mum came as well and she was great but his Nan was really hard work. I was in tears to DH about it all and vowed never again! Of course my parents are here now but we've an end point to their visit (in a week) and they've actually been very useful.

Thorz, just seen your pics - she is adorable! I'll post some later today. I'm nervous about four by myself too although the big two being at school will help.

I love those photos!! She is so adorable. I too dress Peyton up and put bows and headbands in her hair. The neighbors kids call her an American Girl Doll I can't wait until I can really do her hair and paint her nails. So much fun!! DH thinks I have lost my mind but I remind him that now I won't do that kind of stuff to the boys and that seems to make him happy and he stops making fun of me

Wow Thorz... your MIL is there till the end of Oct? I am glad she is helpful for you. If she is it will be nice to have her around since DH probably won't be around as much as you would like. I was very lucky to have my DH at home for 5 weeks but now I am all on my own. I was so scared when he left but so far things have gone fairly well.

Mum to three I am so glad you said that about your grandmother. I felt kind of bad for feeling that way. I haven't said a word to my DH, only to my own Mom. I don't think I could say anything to DH, it would probably hurt his feelings. But seriously, all she did was hold the baby!! When I say all she did was hold the baby I am serious... she would hold her from the time I got done feeding her and changing her until she needed to be fed again. Then, since she was use to being held all day long she would fuss all night and I didn't get any sleep. To get sleep I would have to hold her until she was sound asleep. Then my MIL would wonder why she wasn't sleeping at night. Really??? That went on for two weeks. Needless to say that changed when she left and now Peyton is sleeping very sound for 5-6 hour stretches at night. Sorry for my MIL rant... haven't really said anything to anyone except for my Mom. Ever since she left I have been feeling a lot better physically and mentally.

We had influx of visitors and frankly long visits are very tiring. A friend stayed all Sunday and at 7pm I had to politely tell her to leave. She has no children and didn't realise we had 1000 other things to worry about before bedtime.

Thorz lovely pictures, I have to get organised to take some.
