My (not that big) confessions:

1.  LO's crib has been a glorified laundry basket for 6 months.  It was my way of putting off moving him in there.  He is now a crib baby. 

2.  I think DH and I are going to try for our next (and last) baby soon.  I planned to wait, but I'm feeling ready. 

3.  I wrote my confessions down throughout the week so I wouldn't forget.  

I think we want to start trying soon too. But every time I say that to someone they look at me like I'm nuts and a few people have even told me its not good for my body to have babies so closely. I don't even know if there is truth to that (plan on asking my OB) but I must confess now I'm scared to start. Even after having a baby and easy delivery, childbirth still scares me and I irrationally fear dying from it... That's my FFFC.

So I'm at Costco feeling all cocky about the success of taking the baby to a store for my first time. Nope, total fail. I didn't bring a debit card and costco doesn't take visa. Of course I didn't realize this until everything was rung up. DH is on his way home so he is going to come save me. Oh well. Pic for your time.

@carawasa You must have just changed your siggy pic -- I scrolled by and instantly knew she was your LO. She looks JUST like you (from what I can see in your profile pic, that is. I'm not a Creepy McStalkerson, I promise)! Beaut.

I did! Sorry everyone hated it I cannot figure out to make it smaller. I'm usually mobile so it might just stay that way. But thank you! :x

There are increased risks of maternal complications,
prematurity, neural tube defects, and various weird things like an increased rate of autism in your second kid, if you get pregnant less than a year after having a child.

That said, there are plenty of healthy kids born to parents who waited less than a year to conceive them, so it is just one of those risk/benefit analysis things for your specific situation!

Thanks @sooner1981‌ .... Given my fear and this info I think we will be waiting. But come October, it's on like Donkey Kong!!!

I think this is my first time particpated in FFFC...this one is actually a week or two old, but I'm still playing.

DH and I were about to have some sexy time when DD1 (2.5 years old) called for us bc she had to go potty.  She was in bed with a diaper on, but DH dutifully got up and took her to the bathroom.  While he was gone I decided to go ahead and lay seductively (hah yeahright) and wait for him.  While I was waiting I had some gas, so I let it out before he came back...but it woke up DD2 who sleeps in our room.  She started bawling because I scared her! lol DH came in the room and I said I had no idea what happened...hmmm...

I finally told him a week or so later, and he was like...Your farts wake up and scare a sleeping baby...that is nothing to be proud of! lol

I'm so not attracted to DH at the moment AT ALL. He's in desperate need of a haircut which I've told him 1,000x needs to get cut, he's a sloppy dresser and RARELY tucks his shirts in. When he does they're all cattywampus and disheveled looking. I've tried talking to him about the way he dresses, but it's hard bc we live in a very rural area where people wear jeans to banquets.



I was unaware of the term "cattywampus" / catawampus until about a month and a half ago... I got overly excited about the new addition to my vocabulary because of the feline reference.

We're currently using a drop-side crib that we have borrowed from a friend, and I love having the option for a lower side.  I don't understand/know why they're unsafe.  (I tried researching why the standards changed, and I couldn't find anything.)

https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/2012/05/13-dangerous-baby-products-to-avoid/index.htm

That explains why those drop side cribs are unsafe.

DH loves that his family all live either upstairs or next door .. It has it's advantages and they are great... He even says how he wants to break down the wall between both houses so everyone can come and go as they please! I love my DH's family .. But NO WAY! I know deep down inside he really would love that .. I need my space !

I have two...

I don't want to sound like a creeper but I often think it would be fun to skype with some of you.

In the "notes" section of my iPhone. I have a page of gif links that are for gifs that I've found and want to use at the perfect time on future threads.

ETA: I sound so 013 obsessed. Lol

I keep gifs in my notes too! Lol and I label them so I know what they are!
