Yeah, number 3 is my last baby. I have two boys. That means, if my last is a boy, I'll never experience how it is to raise a girl. Is that the end if the world? No. But I'd like it.
So now, I gonna do Shettles. May work or not, but I will try. And I have no qualms about it. I'll love a little boy just as much if that's what it ends up to be once it happens. But I would also mourn the daughter I didn't get to raise.
I don't feel guilty about giving my kids 'sugary' cereal, I grew up eating Count Chocula and I am fine. They don't eat it all the time, so to me, it's NBD.I also give them juice once in a while. I'm not going to feel guilty, and I refuse to feel less than because my kid is being a jerk at the present time. I love this board, but it isn't going to control my feelings about anything.
I'm with you. The holier than thou attitude about what you're feeding or not feeding your kid is so stupid to me. Is any of this going to matter in a year? 5 years? No. Don't feed your kid sugar, carbs, treats, nuts, whatever it is you want. I just can't get it up over something so stupid. At the end of the day, there are so many more things going on in my life that I can't waste time thinking about what everyone else is feeding their kids.
I judge people (especially parents) constantly. I think anyone who says they don't is fullofshit.
I do too. I wouldn't say anything to them unless it is an in the moment safety concern. But I am definitely silently judging most people when out in public.
Kid #1 - 09/03/12
Kid #2 - maybe???
Diagnosed with Severe Ashermans Hysteroscopy #10 - scar tissue grew back reblocking my right tube #11 or IVF with scarring still inside? 1 lone embryo from September 2016 retreival, dx with Trisomy 16, starting fresh
I have an opinion on other people's choices most of the time. I just cannot bring up the care, motivation or whatever you want to call it to argue about it. And I have a hard time being polite when others want to impose their opinions on me. Don't like what I feed my kid? Cool. Now go away.

I fully admit I judge. But Like I said last week about the Mcdonalds birthday party, I don't need to vocalize such judgments. Where does that get you? If it makes you (hypothetical you, not Cheese) feel better than that's a problem. Really it only makes the person feel bad.
And usually the things I judge are dumb and petty and don't affect me so it's not worth saying anything.
our house finally passed inspection. It's taking all of my self control not to email a realtor and start looking at new houses here. I SHOULD KNOW BETTER based on the last attempt.

I keep telling you to move farther south! I'll sell you my house! ;-)
I, too, get irrationally irritated about people making comments on a second (or third) child's sex. My MIL is one of these. Several of our friends have either had their second child or are pregnant again. Every time when the sex is revealed and it is the opposite she says "Oh good, now they have a girl and a boy and their family is complete!" Well... first-- their family is complete when they feel that it is, whether it involves one or four or twelve children...and second- why does having one of each make things "complete"?! It drives me crazy!
After DS1 was weaned my perky B cups seemed a slightly different,less dense maybe. But this time after nursing Will for the year, they are forever changed. I don't like them, I am self conscious about them. But I am ZOMG worried about what a 3rd hypothetical pregnancy/nursing baby would do when that eventually happens. I am seriously going to consider a lift or augmentation of some sort, which is something I never would have thought about before.
ETA-grammar because my coffee hasn't kicked in
I hear you. DH knows a boob job is in my future. I'd rather do that and postpone kitchen remodel 5 years
I want mine lifted, but I'm afraid of the recovery.
I am also most certainly getting a lift (if not more) when I'm done having kids. I need to have genetic testing done for the BRC gene anyway due to family history. So if I am a carrier, I will just have a double mastectomy and implants.
What's an appropriate time for me to call a student back? I start at 730...what time can I finally call this chick back who called me 4 times between 7 and 10 last night. Also, I leave at 330. My VM clearly states my hours. Why are you calling me over and over?!
I had a dream last night that we had a big S12 get together at a hotel conference center. It was organized by Linzeek. And it turned out one of you was a guy and one of you was a really old lady.
I judge people (especially parents) constantly. I think anyone who says they don't is fullofshit.
I judge the people who are judging, thus creating a perfect, endless circle of judging.
ETA: All my judging is silent or shared with DH/best friend. I don't say anything ever to the person I'm judging bc I wouldn't want someone doing that to me.

I didn't get mine lifted, but I did get em done. The first two weeks sucked so bad--soo bad-- but after that it was like YESSUH!

Two weeks is a long time! How would I even be out of work that long, let alone recovering with a family?
I definitely judge people, but more on stuff like its 10 degrees, why is your child playing outside in a spring jacket or unsupervised in the front yard when we live on a busy street, with a giant body of water on the other side and a bike path that has tons of foot traffic when she is 4??!!! I'm looking at you with my side eyes neighbor lady!
I lost my application to get approved as an insurance agent. I am bummed because I REALLY want to get it done and sent it, but I feel like it would be really bad to email the guy and be like, hey I totally lost the forms you gave me a week ago..... I suck at life right now.

DD eats pretty much the same carb breakfast every day -- a pancake, waffle or French toast. I feel like this is boring and not the healthiest, but she has to have food she can feed herself for school, and she's not up to the yogurt challenge yet.

I think judging others is an important part of figuring out how we want to approach our own parenting. Telling people about it is not.
My FFFC: I really want another girl. I won't be upset if it's a boy, but I not so secretly really want another girl and get really irritated when people say "Aw, if you have a boy you can just be done!"
Uh....I'm done. I just don't think the "perfect family" is having one of each kind of kid. It's great if it works out that way, but for me, I'd really like to have 2 girls.
I did not hide the fact that I wanted this one to be a girl. I, too, wouldn't have been upset if it were a boy--he'd have been loved just the same, but...
I don't like when people answer 'we don't care as long as it's healthy'. Like, if it isn't going to be healthy then you do have a preference? Also, you don't get a boy, a girl, OR a healthy baby. I get *why* people say it, I just don't think everyone is telling the truth.
Biggest pet peeve.
No shit, shirlock. We all want healthy kids first and foremost. But I'd be slightly happier if my healthy baby has a penis.
A pet peeve of mine is when people say their family is complete after X number of kids. A girl on my FB said this the other day. I was like I get it, you now have X number of children so your family unit is "complete" - but what if you were never able to have that second or third or tenth child... would you be less complete? I would hate to say to Aubrie... ya, you're great, but I'm not complete yet.

My friend's dad is "the" plastic surgeon to go to locally. I follow his page on Facebook. I got way too excited when I saw that he's now doing the laser (lunch-time lipo), and I read all about the process. I really don't need lipo, but it seemed awesome.
I am for sure getting my boobs done after this baby. I just want a lift, and if they don't go back down to Bs, a reduction. I like my boobs on the small side.
I was really pissed at H last night. We DTD for the first time in like 2 weeks, and afterwards, he made a comment that to me, sounded like "I felt like I was having sex in sandpaper".
I was all butthurt about my sandpaper vagina.
He finally asked what was wrong, and I told him.
Apparently he said "I felt like I was having sex ON sandpaper". There were cheerios in our bed from DD, and a couple were crushed under the weight of his knee.

Two weeks is a long time! How would I even be out of work that long, let alone recovering with a family?
Well I was only a bartender at the time, so I don't know how a 'real job' would fare, but I took off for 4 days. It wasn't unbearable, but definitely not doable without some type of pain meds (I only used the heavy stuff for like the first 3 days, then tylenol was enough, but without it it was rough). The first couple days it was more the swelling than anything. Once that goes down it gets a lot easier-- I also got mine put under the muscle, which has a little longer recovery time.
My big pet peeve is when people are all like "OMG you aren't having ANOTHER baby are you??hahahahahaha I had to ask! ahahahahhah" <-----annoyingasfuck. Looking at you stupidbitch on DH's FB.
My confession...I got my belly button re-pierced last Saturday. It hurts like hell right now but it's cute. I don't plan on showing it off, it's kind of just for me because I enjoyed having the last one. My stomach is almost back to normal so I just though it would make me feel good to have.
I've been doing REALLY good about eating but I swear, with the mood I'm in, I have though more than once about going to eat the Valentine's Day candy I got for the kids teachers and just replacing it tonight when I go to the store.
Yesterday someone walked in on me while I was pumping. I have a private, locked office that no one should have a reason to enter. I yelled "DON'T COME IN" so loud the lady probably crapped herself. I feel badly that I probably scared her, but seriously!

You shouldn't feel badly at all! The bigger question is, why does someone else have the key to your office and think they can unlock it? That's ridiculous.
I am definitely getting my breasts lifted. Not sure if I'll just do the lift or a lift and implants. I'm excited, though! It's my gift to myself on my 29th birthday.
After I wean Colby I intend on looking into diet pills or some other crash diet to lose some weight. I've never done anything like that though so i don't know if I will follow thru on it or not though.

I work in a school and my office is one that can be unlocked by a master key. I think she confused it with another office, but I have like 8 signs on my door, including one that says my name and title as well as a sign that requests people knock if the door is shut. I don't think even if I had my Do Not Disturb sign that she would have noticed it.
It reminded me of the episode of Sex and the City where Aidan goes to help Miranda off the floor and she's naked. I wasn't naked, but definitely in a less than desirable state.

Why don't you try a medically supervised plan instead of a crash diet or those diet pills. I had a lot of success with Phentermine under the direction of my doctor, but I wouldn't take something else with similar ingredients on my own. Just my two sense, but please be smart about it.
I broke down yesterday and asked our cleaning lady to come back. It's been almost a year since I last used her, because I was SAH.
Since I started working, our house is trashed most of the time, or I spend my entire weekend trying to clean, with a toddler destroying the place right behind me. She's also terrified of the vacuum, and screams if it is out of the closet, so it's really hard to get anything done with H working.
I feel a little like a failure, but relieved at the same time knowing that I'll come home to a sparkling clean house tonight.
I spent $39.63 at Old Navy getting Luci more clothes and shoes in the next size up. The normal total for all I bought was $189.34. I am incredibly proud of myself! And yes I am a nerd and did the math to figure out the normal total and percentage saved etc.
