I miss it just being me and my daughter. I love my son, but I was a much better mom before he was here.

@SassyFlats‌ What did I miss? You got caught on here?

Thank goodness - I thought I was the only one who missed out on this somehow!

This is my confession;
I'm sitting under the dryer at the hairdressers. Then I'm going to go to the mall, some running around, out to lunch, get an oil change, and then go back to my baby. He's with his baby sitter.
I know it's not a big deal, but is the longest I've left him since coming home from the hospital, so I kind of feel bad, like I should confess.

Good for you! Momma needs to take care of herself too! Enjoy it

We live on the 2nd floor of my parent's house. My mother drives me nuts. She hasn't been too bad about wanting to come up to see the baby every second, and thankfully, she got the picture with BF and that I want my privacy when nursing, but alas, there are times when she wants to come up and see her. So I've decided when I agree, I'll just give her the baby and go do something, like shower or clean something. My mother also has this unspoken urge to continue to speak, constantly. The woman never shuts up...so if I am doing something, like cleaning or cooking I put ellen or something on the DVR so she will watch it and not feel the urge to spew her constant verbal vomit.

I decided to pump my milk so H would have to wake up from his nap and take care of cranky Colton. I am starting to love my milker, I don't want to do something I have an excuse not to! Oh mil is coming over I gotta pump my milk, oh big boys are fighting I gotta pump my milk, yikes the house is a mess sorry I gotta pump my milk!

I totally do this!! Since I EP, DH knows that I HAVE to do it. If he gives me the out... Ie. do you have to pump? I'll feed her.. I always take it!! I think of it as multi tasking!!

Yup I EP so can't put it off, I look at it as one of the pros as to why I continue to do it

I love the smell of my baby's breast milk breath.

Last night I woke up multiple times thinking I had been nursing DS, but I was dreaming it, not actually feeding my child...oops. My cat liked the extra cuddles--more than once when I woke up, she was up under my arm purring!

I have these dreams too! I wake up in a panic thinking I was nursing her in bed and fell asleep. Look over and she's snoozing in the Pack and Play. So weird.

Did this once or twice myself, woke up thinking I was cuddling DD a little too close and I was squishing her. Turns out it was a teddy bear instead (don't judge :-p)

I miss sleeping with a teddy bear. I only gave it up when I got married... MH and I lived together for two years before that and my bear had a place in our bed.

I don't remember when I gave up my floppy old Eeyore.... it was definitely after we were married (lived together for several years before that)... maybe it was as recently as when I started using the enormous pregnancy pillow.

Eeyore is now on the back of our couch-- I slept with him cuddled against my face when we got home from the hospital and I was recovering from my CS. I slept on the couch for about a week and a half because I was terrified of getting in and out of bed. Eeyore comforted me.  :x

I had LO home for a week before i ever gave her a bath.

LO 4 weeks, and he's only had 2 baths. We've wiped him down several times, but only 2 real baths.

A is two weeks tomorrow and his first real bath will be tonight. We've been sponge-bathing so I don't actually feel too bad about this.

Piper is finally napping so I should be cleaning. However, MH is having friends over for the second weekend in a row. I did all the cleaning before/after last time, so this time I am spending my free time watching Grey's Anatomy. He can clean the damn house himself if he wants to invite people over.

@AlexisDKruse

LO was fussing like crazy because she nursed for 10 minutes, not 20, as I was changing her diaper. I talked to her in a sing-song voice and said "Look at my pissy little baby! How cute! I love my pissy little baby!"

I do that all the time.  Except I just narrate for my baby, "Mom, look at me, I'm gonna punch you in the effing face if you don't give me the boob right now!" (when he does his hands while crying)  Also for some reason, my kid has a New Yorker's accent... :-/

AriaAmante143

I'm about to totally be "that mom" that takes ridiculously cheesy photos of her baby at every available holiday. And I WILL be AWing them on Facebook.

As you can see, my kid is pretty psyched about it.

I still sleep with a blankie...one from when I was little. DH picked on me...I now find him snuggled up with it!

My confession is just that I hav. no idea what I'm doing, and feel like I'm failing at whatever I am doing. I cant believe they just let me take her home! I can't even burp her. In fact I'm scared to because she spits all the time. Sometimes she chokes. But she prolly spits because she never burps. This morning it was definitely full feed quantity waterfall all over me and all over her and I ugly cried. And could ugly cry again just thinking about it. She has some quiet awake periods but I mostly feel like when she's awake, she's crying and so I'm constantly feeding her. But now I'm wondering if I'm over feeding her and that's why shes spitting. Or maybe shes just a baby and I just can't deal? Sorry this turned into a dear diary. The confession is I feel like I'm mickeymousing this whole parenting thing.

This! Creepy Internet hugs to you. If it makes you feel any better, this is my third.

LO is 20 days old, he has only had 2 baths at home thus far and neither of those were submerged. Will do that this weekend as his bellybutton had now fallen off

First day DH went back to work I was determined to go to Target, I needed a nipple shield. LO, unbeknownst to me, peed while I was changing him right before leaving the house and somehow urine ran down the changing pad and soaked everything - his diaper, his clothes.... And his hair :-/ I changed his clothes and wiped his head thoroughly with a wipe - he didn't get a bath till we got back home :-/

I sleep with a stuffed elephant I got one time when H and I went to the zoo. Baby elephant sprayed us with water when we were there, so I needed a souvenir.

I named him Blowjob, obv.

I tear up every time I think about my c-section scar, not because it's so ugly, but because it makes me feel like I failed.

jennybean80

Some days I don't like my 3 year old. Today is one of those days. (I always LOVE him, it's just... come on kid, give me a break!)

kaking78

Thanks @jt7dreamz. I hate that you feel that way, but it's reassuring to know that it's not just me.

TX08Aggie

@kaking78 - you did not fail.  Your baby is here safe - you did exactly what you were supposed to do!  The mama's job is to do whatever it takes and you did just that.  My respect to all you c-section mamas out there!  I would think there wouldn't be much scarier than having to have the strength to do that.

How did you fail? We brought our babies into the world in the way that was safest for us and our LOs. They are here and they are healthy. You literally CUT OPEN YOUR BODY to deliver your child. You're amazing!

Same. I also had a unicorn labor, delivery and recovery.

I'm actually terrified to have another baby. What if it's hard???

CruiseGirl28

Ok here's mine. Isla lost her cord 2 days ago. DH was changing her and it popped off. We still haven't found it. It's somewhere in our bedroom.

Also, I've been dying for one of Dairy Queen's new confetti cake blizzards!

Say whaa?? This exists?!?

jennybean80

Tried the DQ confetti cake blizzard and was pretty disappointed. The flavour is okay but the cake chunks are a weird texture. It kinda grossed me out...

I sleep with a pink dinosaur, her name is Paige!

kaking78

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I wish I could explain why I feel like I do but there's nothing logical about it. I guess maybe it's because I feel like since I was so dedicated to a med free birth that I was cheated out of the experience I wanted for me and my baby. 

Thinking about my poor cut uterus under that incision really bothers me. I'm hoping it doesn't lead to complications in a future pregnancy or mean that every birth from here out will involve having to deal with recovering from a c-section. I talked to the surgeon before to make sure he understood I wanted VBAC to be a possibility. I hope he took it to heart and cut and stitched me appropriately.

Intellectually, I know that the most important thing is that my boy is healthy and while I've had a few setbacks in my own recovery, it will get better. I know I did what I had to do to have my baby and I'd do it again for him. But somehow it's still hard to think about.

I think @pepperedmoth and I live parallel lives L is over 3 weeks old and got her first real bath today. We've washed her hair and wiped her down, but that's about it. Ai don't feel bad, her skin is so sensitive I don't think she would do well with frequent baths.

I bought Sophie an outfit at Target today. If you could see all the clothes in her closet you'd understand why this is a confession. I just couldn't help myself.

My baby has more clothes than me. It's an addiction.

Raebabe1008

@Littlejohn115‌ I did this too except we didn't fold laundry yet so it was lying on DH's side of bed and I woke up from a nap, ran over to the laundry and starting throwing all the clothes up in the air screaming for DH. He runs up the stairs only to find me yelling and crying " I can't find the baby"!!!! He proceeds to tell me that she was on her swing downstairs with him and I started balling my eyes out (still half asleep). Ugh awful feeling

Raebabe1008

Also, I keep thinking my small pillow I sleep with is Arianna. Several times now I've woke DH up to say things like "you put that baby to bed and I'll put this one". Or she was fussing the other night and he asked if she was ok and I said "yup, I'm holding her". And he's like "umm no you're not". Only to find I was cuddling the pillow again and he gets up from bed all aggravated because I was rocking the pillow and not our daughter. LOL (not one of my proudest moments)

mfarmer0811

I know it's now Saturday, but here's mine.

When I have company and I'm nursing, I will be covered up, and I know DS is finished, but I'll hold him for a while before anyone knows he's finished eating because I'm selfish with him and want to hold him.

Khope87

I know it's Saturday, but for the first time ever I baby wore because where we went I didn't want people holding my baby. IT WAS FANTASTIC!!! I loved it so much I will definitely be doing it again soon I was so much more comfortable. Still MIL was trying to wake her up though.... Errrr no! She is sleeping because she needs to and is comfortable! Overall way better

I know I'm a little behind with this, but mastitis = hellish sore boobs so baby wearing not comfortable in the slightest till now

My Saturday confession is I sometimes only button two of the three buttons on his onesie...

Too lazy to quote but back to the guests without food comment

I tell people to come with food as a price of admission to see the baby. Friends don't realize that he's up every two hours and we are hungry and tired

That sounds mean and blunt, but you can't just come snuggle a baby.

My IL's are the only people who've ever brought us food.
No biggie i guess.
But it does piss me off that my parents come over with Starbucks EVERYTIME and don't even ask if I/we would like anything. Because I would... I'll pay for it too.
I say this all out of hanger right now too
And it's not even Friday anymore
Fuck
