Sorry Cordelia that I haven't posted! I moved this over here so that I didn't TJ.

I've been a little busy! I actually had my beautiful little girl on July 22. She is keeping me very busy and tired!

H was at the birth and has been pretty helpful as far as the baby is concerned. He is still helping me w/ things around the house etc... He just installed satellite TV here at the house. We have 4 more weeks before I can file for a divorce. I have told him that I still love him, and he says he still loves me. I sent him an e-mail stating that if he wanted to work things out we need to discuss some guidlines concerning OW. I have not heard back from him yet. We still had not discussed reconcilliation. He has been staying here for the most part and not at his apt. I actually can't remember the last time he stayed at his apt.

OW can't stand it. She makes H feel guilty for "playing house" w/ me. She also sent a gift for my d. It was addressed from OC. It was a onesie that said "I'm the little sister." and two bibs. One bib said "I love my big sister." and the other said "My big sister loves me." I couldn't help but take it as a dig like she was trying to remind me that OC was here first.

Congrats on your baby girl! I am glad Cordelia asked because I had been wondering too if you were overdue.

How did you handle that gift from the OW? I would be so pissed off. That is way past inappropriate in my book - just to outright rub your face in it. HMMM - Perhaps you could send OW a little gift in return . . . Maybe a t-shirt that says "I'm the Little ******" or "I Sleep with Married Men" or "Got Birth Control?"

Hope talks with you and H continue and reach a resolution.

Meanwhile - keep enjoying little bundle of joy!

Congrats, again!

Congratulations!

Now is another whole set of games from OW <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
And more 'competition' between OC and your D <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
The first gift that OW sent to DD, she signed 'from your little brother' ... and I told xH ... I don't mind the gifts even if she sends them in name of OC ... but the 'from your little brother' is too much ... I don't know if he told her but she hasn't signed like that again ...

Anyway, enjoy your little girl! every minute and every second!

H did respond to me, but he basically said he doesn't have a response at this time.

Well congrats how many pounds?
length?
what time was she born?
what is her name?
how long in labor?
was it csection or vag?

I am expecting and all these things are important to me lol I want to compare notes with all pregnant women. lol

Well what did you do with the OW stuff? I really would have thought that your H would have put a stop to that. she is just trying to put things in your face to show you she and her child are around.. throw the crap away or give it away.

Thanks for responding. I am so happy for you now and I know you are smelling that baby as you sit there and type... I love new born baby smell... its like a drug.

Ok I will stop to let you respond.

I named her Chloe Ilise. She weighed 7 pounds 5 ounces. She was 19 1/4 inches long. She was born at 6:24a.m. I was in labor 9 1/2 hours. I had a vaginal delivery. She had a few complications at first and was in the NICU for 5 days. She was choking on mucus and was put on oxygen. She also would not eat for a few days. She's gaining weight like crazy now though. She likes to eat!

I just put the stuff fro OC in a closet. I figure that if H and I do get divorced maybe he'll want them at his house. I was tempted to throw them away, but couldn't bring myself to do it since they were addressed from OC not OW. Although I know what I feel OW intentions were, I don't want to take her actions out on OC. I will encourage a relationship between my daughter and OC no matter what OW has done. I have told H it will be his responsibility to foster the relationship though.

nice name I like it .

how much weight did you gain in you entire pregnancy? I am at 20 pounds already. I am only 6 1/2 months.

Lucky you with only 9 hours of labor i did 26hours the first time , did 22hrs then had a csection the second, and then I had 18 hours of labor the last time. I am going csection with this baby.

I gained 27 pounds total. I gained it all by the 7th month. I had gestational diabetes, so they put me on a strict diet to control my blood sugars. When they did that I stopped gaining weight. I still have about 13 pounds to lose. I can't fit into any of my clothes. I worked out during my entire pregnancy.

Well do not rush yourself geesh you just gave birth.

That is great a good amount to lose. with my first I only gained 22pounds total and lost it all by the time I went to my six week checkup.

I took almost 2 years with the second but I did gain like 55pounds

I took 3years with the last one and I had gained 35 pounds with him..

So with you only having gained 27 that is GREAT. It will prob fall off without much effort especially if you breast feed.

Wife I was trying to send you a PM but it would not let me... do you have it blocked?

I didn't even know we had PM's here! If it was blocked, I think I unblocked it. Try sgsin w/ a short PM to see if it works.

nope doesnt work very odd. oh well

Anyone know how to unblock a PM?
