Sashybo - Back Again

DH off work from today until Monday, always easier to get things done in the house when both of us are around for the baby. :j

DS has been a little star today, he sat in his bouncy chair in the kitchen watching me whilst I put a pesto loaf on in the breadmaker, made leek & potato soup & a spiced tea loaf. :j :T I put some music on and he seemed to like me singing along.:p

There were a couple of intervals for nappy changing etc, left him lying on the changing mat with his nappy off to get an airing & of course he peed all over the place - TWICE! :eek::rotfl:

DH told me the other day that MIL wants to come up again in a couple of weeks to see the baby.:cool: This time she'll be staying with us.:eek::cool: I hope she behaves but doubt it - think the baby snatching/hogging will recommence. Not looking forward to it but we will see if she's calmed down a bit.

Hi EE, yes DS just likes to know I'm nearby I think & loves his cuddles. He seems happier now to sit in his chair or lie on his play mat as long as he can see or hear me and this seems to improve as his eyesight improves.

We can try with MIL but it will no doubt be conveniently forgotten, as was the whole "you can't stay with us 2 weeks after us having a baby" conversation that DH had with her months before DS was born & then she turned round & wanted to stay with us after he arrived because she thought the local B&B's were too expensive! :mad: And they're not poor!:cool:

I think I'll just have to be more vocal & forceful with her if she's being over the top. I understand that she lives far away & wants to spend as much time with DS as she can whilst she's here but is it too much to ask that she considers my feelings a bit more rather than stomping all over them?:(

Hi swimming, re carpet :rotfl: but is yours a highly impractical cream/oatmeal colour?!:eek: I've had pee a few times now along with projectile milky vomit.:eek: It's looking a little sad already - need to get the carpet cleaner out.:o

DS also managed to hit one of the cats with a stream of pee one day as the cat was strolling past. :rotfl: He was disgusted & now runs past the changing mat if he sees DS lying on it. :rotfl:

Good idea about the activities, we don't have a set date yet but once we do I'll try & sort at least one out. I'll sell it to MIL & DH as a chance for them to have some quality mother-son time.:rotfl: Doubt she'll take the hint to be honest, she'll probably try to send me out without the baby! :cool::D

Hi Paws, thank you. Good to "see" you back.

Baby is a giant & very greedy. :rotfl: No-one could believe how big he was when he was born as I'm not that big & the bump was pretty neat until the last few weeks. :eek:

PIL have always been hard work to be honest, now the baby is just something else for them to be awkward about.

I've been quite surprised at how thoughtless my MIL has been towards me though. Doesn't she remember what it's like to be a new mum? Or does she just not care?

She's been very morbid as well, saying the baby won't know her as they live so far away & that she'll probably die before he grows up (she's a very fit 70 yo).

Not that she says any of this to me, she says it to DH. I don't know why though, is she trying to guilt trip him about the fact that we live far away from them but near my mum? She was also quizzing my mum about how often she sees her other grandchildren, I think to try & work out how often my mum will see DS.
