I love and loathe just how much Finn needs me.
He is in the midst of a growth spurt and ate every 1-2 hours for 36 hours straight. I was conjuring up ways to shove him in the closet so I could just sleep and I was furious with J to say the least. His snoring and comfort infuriated me. He got up, had coffee and headed to work. I was insanely jealous today that he was able to leave, empty handed. I spent all day stewing on how little he has to do in this new role as a parent. But tonight I was put into my place. J came home with huge smiles for Finn. He bathed the babe, read him stories and gave him a bottle so I could have a little break. He is a wonderful dad and my love for them both is refreshed - no babies in the closet tonight. Promise.

Get some rest!
(love the picture)
How wonderful that you have a supportive husband. It makes all the difference. Just for the record, your feelings are normal. My girls are 5 and 1, and I still have those thoughts. Dad's get the easy way out LOL!!!
Wow! Interesting perspective. My girlfriend was forced to take 1 week off from work b/c her sitter (her parents) went on a 1 week vacation. She said it was extremely difficult to stay home with her little one b/c it was soooo much work. I, on the other hand, will be forced to go back to work after 6 weeks and envied the possibility of staying home with my little one for 1 week (or always). I always feel like for me, the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. So I'm glad to see your perspective as you stay home and be up every 2 hours while your DH gets to sleep soundly and go to work. I'd be frustrated too!
lol. Oh hun, I think I can understand your frustrations. I have a feeling I may have the same issue and will try to remember that he has a stake in this too.
Cute pic! Such a precious moment.
S at 17 times in one day. It was, well, awful. I was so jealous of my husband, just sleeping away.
There is a reason it takes two to make a baby! Babies are very mommy-centric, but they (and their mommies) need other people, too.

Oh I can feel your pain. Before I went back to work I was convinced that mr. sushinut was locking me in the house with the nuggets on purpose. I told him I felt my life was like a bad Lifetime Movie. :) It's so hard at times but it sounds like your hubby came to the rescue at the right time! Finn is just adorable!
That picture is wonderful. I love those books. Missy has all 4 of them and we read them all. Sometimes several times a day. Go easy on yourself during those days when the babe is clingy.
Your son is such a beautiful little boy! :)
Thank you so much for your kindness and offer to give me your extra Moby wrap. I feel so lucky! I would be happy to reimburse you for the S&H costs. Can you email me at nikiconstantine21 @ yahoo dot com? I am not comfortable posting my address on a public blog, but if you email me I can give it to you. THANK YOU!! :)
