Please someone say something crazy....

KLJ3

Sorry Lax, nothing crazy here.

I just always manage to forget to lift up my boobies to rinse under them in the shower. Nothing like realizing you've got soapy underboob AFTER you step out of the shower.

Boob rinsing used to happen automatically and was never a problem...until they went all mutant in 2nd tri.

When you post a picture, you better believe I'm checking out what's going on in the background.

I don't know if this is flame worthy or not. For this baby we were Team Green and I truly had no preference for a boy or girl. But for the next one I'm really hoping for a girl. It's one of the reasons we're opting to find out the sex next time, so if it's a boy I have time to "get over it". (Which would really probably take like half a day.)

Of course the only thing that truly matters is that our current and future babies are healthy and happy. And if the next one is a boy I will be excited for DS to have a little brother. And if I wind up being a mom to all boys I will be proud to be their mom.  But if I never have a little girl I will probably be sad for a little while.

I'm trying to figure out how to convince DH to go for another LO. I don't really care that he thinks we are too old.

Mine is silly. Whenever topics get controversial or racy, I think, 'the Internet is forever and what if you run for office someday?'. If I attempt sarcasm, I imagine how it could be quoted out of context someday.Um, I'm a SAH former yoga teacher who has no desire to get into politics, yet I edit myself for fear of future smear campaigns. Totally logical, right?

And my terrible one for the day.. I love my dogs but sometimes they are so noisy it makes me think about how much easier it would be without them... Then I remember how much I love them. The thought comes up once a week though and makes me feel like sh*t

Me too. I love him, but he has been making lots of extra work lately, and waking up G a lot. I always feel like poo for thinking it. I'm sure this phase will pass. I would never actually act on the thought, but I still feel guilty!

I have thought this a lot too and felt guilty about it. But I definitely think it less than I used to.

I was trying to make myself feel better but yes, it's more daily. Especially at night when they wake LO up or this morning when LO was crying while I was cleaning up dog puke.

But regardless, I'll be completely head over heels in love with them!

Yup. L slept in bed with me last night and for some reason my one dog hag the need to repeatedly shake his head. Before I'd be concerned he had an ear infection but now I can only think about finding the duct tape and taping those floppy bitches to the side of his head.

DH tells me this alllll the time! He is very involved in politics and has always planned to run for office. Because of that I do regret some of the comments and pics I've posted. I think he's too nice a guy to ask me to stop. But I have few hobbies and bumping is one I don't want to give up!

Don't the defense attorneys use the "you can't prove this is the person who posted it" defense? Maybe we have a beaubecca impersonator!! Yikes!!

I guess it's almost a confession that we are getting a second dog in a few weeks. I'm crazy and don't know what the heck I'm getting into but Vixen needs a buddy.

We are puppy shopping right now and honestly this makes me feel a little less crazy that someone else is doing/considering the same thing. MH is convinced the dog needs a friend and all I can think about it the puppy days again. Plus our dog is only a year old - so I will have a baby puppy, a bigger puppy and a baby who is considering crawling currently. I'm going to need a lot of wine for this.

The only thing stopping my dog from commiting suicide due to neglect is the fact that we have a second dog for him to play with. In fct there have been days when I haven't been able to get them to the park and we end up with a Dog fighting ring in our living room but at least he isn't screaming for attention from me.

coffeeandbooks

When I am reading the threads, I sometimes get sidetracked looking at the posters baby sig pic...and I wind up loving the comment just because their baby is so cute.

smg2302

Totally scandalous- sometimes I throw other garbage in my diaper genie because I'm too lazy to walk to the nearest trashcan.

I can't stand it when people don't ring ahead before just arriving on my doorstep.  The place is always a mess when this happens. No one comes when I have the place tiptop and look presentable.

RoxZ32

My DH and I's only form of protection for the past 9 years has been and continues to be the pull & pray method. Apparently he has great timing & control as this is our first baby!

emmy236

Well my 9 meeting got pushed to 10 so I actually got to read all the comments.
-first on the wanting a girl next Im the opposite. I hope the next is a boy. DH only wants 2 kids and I want more. If the next is a girl I think H will want to shut it down because we will have one of each. If we have two boys he'll be open for trying for a girl again. Plus I have so much cute boy stuff I want to use again.

-second we Ferberized and it was the best for all of us. There is a lot less crying overall and I have a much happier baby in the mornings. I love waking up hearing him talk to himself rather than screams.

-third, we have two dogs and it's harder. Each one has their own issues. Elwood is a rescued chihuahua/toy poodle mix. He's the cutest thing but if you put two yappy dogs together you get a super yapper. Every noise is a monster and he must protect his house. The big one is 65 pounds of wimpiness. She is bred from champion bird hunting dogs. She is a water dog that is petrified of water, she gets outsmarted everyday by a squirrel and a cardinal, if you try to throw a duck toy at her, it just hits her in the face and she can't retrieve. She also thinks she is the size of Elwood and wants to be a lap dog. They are fine separate but together its so much work. Coco is only 1.5 years old and we got her to be a friend to Elwood because we knew were trying for baby and didn't want him to feel neglected. If I knew how hard two dogs and a baby are I would never have gotten her when we did. Travel is a nightmare with all of them, boarding two is expensive and no one will watch two dogs, one yes, two no.

So my FFFC is that I'm a bad fur mommy because we got Elwood a bark collar this week. His freak outs were getting insane and he was waking up everyone at all hours. We have tried professional training, the sound machine that gives off a high pitch whistle, positive reinforcement, you name it. I'm just at the end of my rope.

I'm trying to think of something more scandalous, but for now:

I left LO at my Mom's after food shopping yesterday under the guise of putting the food away uninterrupted. I really just wanted to make sure I had enough time to eat my individual Reeses Sundae Cup and discard the evidence before DH got home because I didn't want to get him one, too.

lizziebooper

Lax you are too funny. I think we would get along IRL. A friend of mine thinks there should be a SNL skit with Drunk Uncle and Rob Ford.

Boo0512

My FFFC is: back when our babies were around 2-3 months old and many of you were getting no sleep, my baby was sleeping 8-12 hours. I knew that we got lucky to a certain extent but I also thought, "This is why we didn't
bed share, have baby sleep in an RnP
or bassinet. These women can't get their babies to sleep now."

And guess what? The universe said, "Here Heidi, here's a big ol' glass of STFU."

I have barely slept for the last two months. Karma is a MFer.

I peed my pants in a meeting yesterday

Please elaborate!  lol

I didn't even feel like I had to pee, I just bent over and it happened. It wasn't enough to go through my pants but I had to sit like that for a half hour. I think it's the result of carrying a ginormous baby.


I'm sorry this happened to you, but it made me burst out laughing and for that I apologize lol.

We're in the same boat. By just over 2 weeks old, LO was sleeping from midnight to 5 or 6 am, then back to sleep until 9 am. I thought we hit the jackpot. NOPE! Now it's every 2 or 2.5 hrs. Karma will getcha even if you only brag about it in your head!

I must confess I've been giving you a huge side eye. When you posted about your in laws house, and @Shantxtell asked if you wished death on them, you didn't answer. I avoid the "thankful Thursday" thread because I'm annoyed you didn't respond. You probably don't give a shit how I feel, but I found the whole scenario strange. I know this board is puppies & rainbows, but there comes a time when shit needs to be addressed.

Just to clarify- I asked if she was the person who said she hoped one IL died first. Then someone else asked what she meant by " gone", if she was talking about them dying.
Neither question was answered.

I missed this thread. No my interest is peaked!

I was thinking about this too. I think I actually may cry in the u/s if we were told the next one was a boy. I know. That makes me a shitty person. But I would love a daughter because of how close me and my mom are now and I would love that when I'm older. Of course I would love them either way. And I'm a total tomboy so would be a good "all boys" mom, but I really want a daughter.

"sometimes i just want to kill my fil... i have told my hubby and his mom that fil has to die first. he cant handle any sort of negative reality. he is already a mess and depends on mil for everything and acts like a 2 year old...no way i could handle him!!!"

Not sure if that's the one you mean, @nonniedee but it sounds like it's on the same topic

I'm compelled to see how many people love me after I post a comment. I have to scroll back to see what I wrote every single time I go back and see what others have said.

Edit: You love me! You all love me! And yes...I did once again, go back and look

snowgirl427

Thanks Trish and Shanks. I couldn't find those when I looked.

And WOW. There are a lot of people I don't like, but I don't really wish death on anyone... Except maybe pedophiles.

This was my thought exactly. Ariel Castro is a good example of someone I'd wish death on.  Good riddance and may he burn in hell.

If I'm deciding between two outfits for her to wear, I do the same thing. Or if we are at the store and I need to purchase something whether it be for her or not and I can't pick - she makes the final decision. Even if it's a type of toothpaste. Hell I make her "smell" candles at bath &body works lol

At least you guys have multiple outfits for them to wear! We're halfway between sizes right now so her choices have been limited and we can only wash laundry on the weekend since her room is right next to the washer/dryer and it keeps her awake. Let's just say she went to school today in the only onesie and pair of pants she has that were clean...

Since abs crib is used as a hamper for unfolded clothes I just set her in there and wait for her to "show" me what she's wearing for the day. We've gone out and people say "aw her daddy dressed her". It's the best part of the day seeing what her eyes find in her pile of clothes. She sure loves her brights!
