I'm sorry that you feel upset about this and I think it's understandable, especially with pregnancy hormones at play. But I do think your initial guess is right in that she's probably just overwhelmed. I remember at that point LO was still nursing very, very frequently and I felt like anytime she wasn't nursing/sleeping I had to get a ton of household stuff done. I probably wasn't the best communicator for the first 3 or 4 months after LO was born, but I did get better!

Maybe just follow up with her and say that you understand she's probably busy and you want to make things as easy as possible for her? Possibly even offer to like, bring food over so you can hang out at home with her and she doesn't feel the pressure of going out? Just a thought!

Dude...when your baby is 2m old: you will totally understand her response.
I was lucky if I knew where my phone was at 2m Pp. BRUTAL.

I agree with the others. I had a hard time even texting a few words when LO was that age. The first few months are so busy. I know it sounds ridiculous that even a text wouldn't be sent but you really do get that busy!!

@runsyellowlites: haha love your scenario. TBH my phone was kept on silent those few months! I sometimes still forget to turn it back on!

@regberadaisy: I use my phone for work so I'd generally kept it on vibrate... that alone would wake P up! UGH! I would try putting it on silent just while I was putting her to sleep but then I'd forget to put it back on & when I'd finally look I'd have txts from DH or my mom (my boss) like this ??? ? ???? ? So I stopped doing that.

That scenario was me LOTS of times! lol

@runsyellowlites: Yup, that's exactly what I was thinking happened!

It is SO HARD to do much of anything when you have a newborn. Even texting, which seems like such a simple task, can be overwhelming! I wouldn't be offended. Just send a quick text to say, "Know you're busy, thinking of you, let me know if I can help" or something. Just that little message meant so much to me in those early days!

I agree, I think your hormones are getting to you, but I can totally understand why your feelings are hurt. It will make more sense when your little one is here. I would forget my phone in the bedroom charging constantly when I was home with a little one, my focus was always on her and if she was sleeping, I didn't want to chat/text I wanted to sleep or get some household stuff done while I had the time!
