I'm having donuts for breakfast and I'm not telling DH.

I didn't enjoy being pregnant yet I find myself getting jealous of other pregnant women.  

And now I want donuts, thanks snowgirl

I know I am supposed to be enjoying her because she grows up so fast but man I can't wait until she's asleep so I don't have to entertain her.

Yesterday I realized that our master bathroom shower has not been cleaned since we moved in 10 months ago. It's the kind of tile color that hides nastiness pretty well, so who knows what's lurking there. Well, at least it's just DH and I who use it. Haha.

AllieAGame

I don't read to my LO. I'm sure I will eventually, but shes so wiggly- how do you get them to hold still for a book? 

We move in a month and in my mind this means I don't have to clean until then...is that right? The level of "just kidding" of this statement gets lower by the minute.

I am a bad mother. I've been putting my daughter's fussy behavior down to just being a difficult baby when it turns out she may have silent reflux. For 3 months. I thought it couldn't be reflux since she takes her MOTN feedings calmly.

Plus I found a raw, red patch of skin where her neck meets her head, in her little neck rolls, which the pedi said could be yeast. It makes me feel like I haven't been washing her properly and again, like a negligent mom.

When I was changing L's diaper, I lifted her butt up and she peed. This happens from time to time and I didn't think much of it as I was trying to clean her up when L started making some weird noises. I looked at her face and realized the pee must have arched forward and her face was drenched. I felt so bad for her - I'm pretty sure she drank some in the process. Poor girl.

@mommacakes4u I do the same thing at the doctor. If she asks and I don't do what she is asking I say, "I try".

My Ffc is that I'm a cranky B this morning. DS1 is being a terror and DS2 won't let me put him down. He screams until I lay down with him, left side with boob in his mouth. So he is comfort nursing while DS1 is watching Thomas and friends.

Oh and I dream about taking a vacation all alone at a fabulous resort.

Some great ones today.
Mine is that lately I've been mourning my birth experience pretty hard core. I didn't think it was going to happen, but two months later here I am. I realized it was there when I found myself jealous of Kate Middleton for delivering vaginally. I know that my body couldn't deliver my big headed, sunny side up baby. Just wasn't happening, and at the time I was happy for the section. But I'm mourning not getting to push him out and have that experience.

As for reading to them I read somewhere to start at 6 mo. I am all about reading to my children, but it seems a bit silly and impossible right now. lol

I also couldn't vaginaly deliver my big headed sunny side up baby After 4 hours of pushing, and even seeing the top of his head repeatedly, it wasn't happening. I also mourned the loss of a vaginal birth when Kate delivered their baby, which was the exact same weight as DS. Way to rub it in, Kate!

I hate eating at the homes of people who feed their dogs table scraps; ie our two best friends. I can't enjoy a meal when a dog is sitting there crying for a scrap or trying to actually take food from your plate, which had happened from time to time. Even worse is when the owners make a half assed attempt at telling the dog to go lay down. Of course he's not going to, he's used to getting scraps. I just look at the dog and say "I'M not giving you anything so....." but really I want to say "Get the fluck away from me."

More of a rant than a FFFC.....

My LO gets this and I feel bad too. It was like she grew an extra chin overnight and my bathing technique couldn't keep up. Dr said it was common and recommended Cortaid; clears right up.

My confession may not be flame worthy per se. LO has been fighting naps like crazy. On Wednesday I was walking her around the house, singing, finally had her dozing... and for the first time ever, I sharted. Yup. So I put her on a towel on the bathroom floor so I could clean up and of course she woke up and started yelling. If it happens again I might keep an extra pair of pants in my desk at work for peace of mind. WTF body?

Glad to hear that I wasn't alone in my Kate envy. I think little George was like 3 oz less that my guy, so it hit me the same way it hit you. I never even pushed with my guy. I dilated to 9 cm and then when they checked again I swelled to an 8.
But hooray for healthy babies. I was scared to death of shoulder dystocia so the section was good. Even though I mourn what could have been.

DS goes to bed really late at night, like around 11. I have a few selfish reasons for doing this. Lately he is sleeping about 5 - 7 hours for his first stretch so I'd rather go to sleep at 11:30 or 12 and wake up at 6 to feed him than put him down earlier and have to get up in the middle of the night. But the worst reason is I also do it because DH and I like to watch TV a few times a week during the evenings and I don't want to start his bath and whole routine earlier and miss it. I will say that he is always eating or napping while we watch and if he's not doing one of those two things one of us entertains him instead of watching TV.

I nurse C to sleep every night and for most naps and I am not concerned in the slightest about creating a "bad habit." It makes my life so much easier. She is so passed out I could literally throw her in her crib and she wouldn't wake up, and she sleeps longer. In fact, I wouldn't mind if she did until she self weans.

I just changed J out of an outfit because he looked too grown up in it. He's now wearing a onsie that says "baby" on it.

I think this is a lot like the BFing FFing issue. I feel guilty for stopping BFing but FFing was the right choice for me right now. I know in my heart I will regret it probably forever. But I know in my head it was the right decision. As a friend once told me to do, I am trying to put it in a bubble and blow it away. I hope you can too!


That's a good point. I think delivery and breastfeeding are such instinctually female things that we feel we need them. But we don't. It doesn't make us any less female or less of a mom. I love the advice to blow it away! And I shall!

Yup, we nurse to sleep all the time. It does make it easier but whatever bad habit it may create I'll cross that bridge when the time comes and deal with it then. DS has soothed himself to sleep before so I know he is capable.

My first confession is that I have the Bump on the brain I guess, because all week long when I did something stupid, I'd think FFFC!

My 2nd confession is that my brain is so fried, I can't remember any if them! 8-}

My mom accuses me of not treating our dog like family because we never feed him our food but her dogs always stare and drool while she eats whereas our dog is totally disinterested. Begging is so stressful! I don't know how people tolerate it.

Feeding table food to pets made me think of a FFFC.
One of our cats LOVES people food. She's really more dog-like than cat-like and will eat just about anything. She especially loves lunch meat and goes crazy when she hears one of us making a sandwich. When DH isn't home, I totally throw pieces of lunch meat on the floor for her. And then when he's making a sandwich and telling her to get away and stop begging, I act bewildered as to why she would be begging. I even go so far as to say, "I don't know why she acts like that, it's not like she's ever gotten anything."
I should probably stop doing that because LO will rat me out to DH when she can talk.

Congrats TradeMama!  How did quitting your job go? 

I guess my FFFC after reading of 1 confirmed and 1 possible pregnancy is that I nearly had a panic attack thinking about getting preggers again!  After my emergency c at 34 weeks, my 4 pound IUGR baby and me being hospitalized 3 times in the two weeks following his birth due to blood pressure issues that are still lingering about... I think I'm going to need some time to emotionally prepare for that again.

My husband can be very pushy about breastfeeding. At the beginning it wasn't so easy for us, but I felt like he would be dissappointed in me if it didn't work out. I love breastfeeding and I'm happy it works for us, but I could seriously throat punch him sometimes when I hear his comments about the choice that other people make regarding feeding their children.

I've gotten into the bad habit of staying up to watch crummy television. Staying up way late. The past few nights when Abbie wakes to do her snack feed between 4 and 5 I've been falling asleep with her on the boob and when she wakes again at about 7 I wake up and freak out that she was in bed with me and I was completely unaware of it. Bad.

mommatotwo2

Mine is that I majorly regret taking DD out of her 5 days a week daycare while I've been on leave. I haven't really gotten to spend the extra time with her that I was hoping for and I think I've messed up the good thing she had going from the last 2 years of daycare/preschool. She has been acting up a lot more and is forgetting some of the things she'd learned in school now that she only goes 2 days a week. She also doesn't get nearly the physical activity she was getting there and probably not as well balanced meals either I try really hard to at least make sure she gets fruits or veggies and protein throughout the day, but it's not as good as what she was getting at school. They also took them outside every single day unless it was very bad weather (even in rain they had an outdoor classroom set up under a covered porch with tent sides they rolled down in the rain). She doesn't go outside everyday now

Quitting my job was fabulous... I just have my last two weeks and then I'm free. Well, free to study for my customs broker exam, but still. I think it was a really good decision.

I have an appt next week. Ironically four my iud placement. They're gonna make me test then, so I figure I'd wait. If I am I blame my OB. They have pushed my iud appt back too far, and I've had to rely on condoms. Which haven't always been I'm play. I'm just not sure if I can do it again so soon.

I hope it all goes well. We haven't started trying yet as I have to wait 3 months because of my csection. I guess my FFFC is that I can't wait to try for another baby.

This is me too. Everytime I see a post on facebook or watch a Baby story I cant help but get the tinge of jealousy because I labored for 28 hrs and wanted so badly to deliver vaginally but ended in a c section because my pelvis was to smalll.. oh the joys , to add to it i get this same feeling when hearing stories about breastfeeding. My LO wouldnt latch and after weeks of fighting we resulted to the bottle. I still cry when everyone else is alseep at night about it. I guess theres always next time!
