Does your husband listen to NPR? The pajamagram company advertises their hoodie-footie pajamas frequently around Christmas and Valentine's Day.

OP here. As sad as it sounds, I would gladly take the comfy pajama jeans over a Victoria Secret babydoll and thong two weeks postpartum. Lol!

This is where I am at now. OP again. DH is not onboard with night nurse. Of course he is snoring like a foghorn here whil I'm up with mr colic again at 2:30 am.

Would it be that bad to go against his wishes and hire one anyway ?

Can't you say, "while you're soundly snoring at 2:30 a.m., I'm up with her colic. I want to get a night nurse. If you're not onboard with that, then what do you suggest? Because this current pattern can't continue."

PP again. Maybe you could also mention PP's schedule where the night nurse doesn't come every night but once or twice a week to give you some relief. Maybe also present him with the name of a service and the cost so he can see how much it will be.

Wake DH up at 2:30 in the morning--"Your turn, honey." Then see how he feels about a night nurse.

That you like clothes/shopping but he didn't want to offend you by trying to guess what would fit, so instead he got you a gift card so you could purchase what you want. Not something I'd make a big deal out of.

Seriously, you think a Marshall's gift card stacks up against Mt. St. Helen ex-girlfriend ash earrings?!
