Q: Im So... Ugh!

Kevin came home yesturday and asked me what I was doing thursday and I said I didnt know, hes like "your going out to lunch with my mom"... I told him to tell his mom I said thanks but no thanks cuz I want to get adjusted better first. Well, his mom already took off of work, so now I have to go. This really ticks me off that they go and make plans for me and dont even ask me how I feel about it. Brooklyn is only a week old today. On thursday it will only have been a week since I got out of the hospital. Im breastfeeding and I want to get that down first before I start venturing out into public. Then I can at least give her a bottle or something if she starts getting hungry, but I dont want to give her a bottle until we have breastfeeding down for awhile. I didnt want to give her one til she was at least 2-3 weeks old. Would it hurt to give her a bottle this one time? Or is it gonna mess up all the time ive spent on trying to perfect breastfeeding? I have milk frozen in the freezer. If I do give her a bottle, this might sound stupid, but should I just put the milk in the bottle before I go, and how do I warm it up when im in a resturant. Im just so stressed and frusterated and this is just adding to it. Im so pissed I cant even think straight. What the hell is this womans problem? She cant even wait til I get settled in and just makes plans without even asking me.

That's really unfair I think. You're a new mom& you want to settle brooklyn into a routine before you start getting everything else in your life back on track. His mom should have considered this before she took the day off work & it's not fair that they didn't even consult you before they arranged what you were doing. I think you should maybe tell her that it's a bit soon & that you're not really up to it.

K I gave jaydyn a bottle in the hospital while I was breastfeeding and she did fine transitioning....I would take the milk and thaw it out before you go and put it in a bottle and maybe it'll b at room temp for you, if not, just go to the bathroom and let it run under hot water for about five mins and you should do fine, or either u could heat it up and put it in a insulated bottle holder...

Goodluck, and sorry u gotta go!~

I dont need to be causing any drama, im just going to tell her I would appriciate it if she would discuss thinngs with me first, or to at least ask kevin to ask me how I feel about it. She should know how hard breastfeeding is, since she gave up on it after day 3 I believe. My blisters have come, and now almost gone, and after a week of trying to get it right, I think its finally starting to go well. Kevins dad called his mom a vagina after he seen how I was up walking around after I had brooklyn, and I wasnt complaining or anything, and that I said that labor was just fine. His mom got all mad lol. I wonder if she is jealous and is trying to make it hard on me?
