I'm with you @AllyTheKid. I might have to suck it up and go back to Facebook
My bitchfest is that my H is working all day, my mom is busy and everyone else is working or busy also so I'm home alone with the baby all day with no company. I'm not cleared to drive yet so I can't even get out and about. I feel very isolated.

Remember how we were all super concerned about facebook and other people taking it upon themselves to announce our baby's? We were so concerned about repeating this with new lo (since people did it with dd) that we OVER stressed it. Literally every text we sent had a disclaimer about it. About 2 days after she was born, we finally put in on Facebook. About a day after that my sister asked if, now that we announced, could she post pictures of her and the baby. I was totally fine with that.
Well apparently my dh's sister and mom were under the impression that we meant no one was allowed to post any pictures at all, so when they saw me tagged in my sister's photo they hot their panties in a bunch. That lead to a convo in front of my dh's nasty attitude grandmother. Who decided she was going to be so mad at us that she cancelled her visit to our house to see the baby.
Seriously? What is with people? First, it was a misunderstanding on their part, second: I'm allowed to make whatever decisions I want about my dd on Facebook so I have the right to say no and then say yes if I want to. Third: you really aren't going to come see your newest great granddaughter because of that? Nice priorities.
So she still hasnt seen her and i guess made a comment indicating that she'd see her tonight when we stop over for trick or treating except I plan on having the baby in the carrier and am absolutely not going to get her out of it for that grump!
@maf9866 my sister did the premature facebook post with our DD and I was pissed. What is wrong with people? Don't feel bad about how you handled it - people are stupid and that wouldn't have been necessary in the first place if they just followed your wishes.
My Monday bitchfest? I am STILL PREGNANT and now overdue. Ugh.
And I am upset that everyone has gone to fb!

My grandma and uncle keep bugging me about putting his motorcycle in our basement again this year.
Weve BS had a rough couple of months with me on bedrest and H taking care of me and DS1 and doing a complete renovation for the nursery. Our basement has all of our stuff and we are storing a ton of stuff for Hs parents and there is still all the scrap wood etc from the nursery. Now we are home with a newborn and I'm recovering from my c section and the pregnancy in general and it's not a priority to make the space. I'm so annoyed they keep asking.
@mrscorker it's hard to feel isolated. I remember feeling that way with my first baby. Can you get outside today- maybe a little sunshine will help you.

I'm gonna try to take a walk, if LO will ever nap so I can nap too, we'll go when we wake up.

Aaaand FI's cold has come back. Again. For the third F*cking time. That means he's going to be whiney the whole time we're trick-or-treating and going on about how miserable he is instead of attempting to enjoy the time with the kids. I'm about to put him in a bubble and feed him nothing but fresh fruit, veggies, chicken noodle soup and multivitamins until this crap gets gone for good.
I had an authentic Tanzanian experience today as I was sitting on my bed breast feeding Abigail. I heard a sound to my left at the window, and turned just in time to see this large(4 to 5 inches) lizard half fall/half leap through and land on my bed. I proceeded to grab Abigail and shriek. My husband was in the room at the time and found the entire situation hilarious and my mother in law (who lives next door) came running because she thought something terrible happened. The lizard, after avoiding capture on the bed, disappeared under it and hasn't been seen again.

I'm cool with lizards, snakes, frogs, all those critters. I'm even cool with most spiders. But somehow, against all logic, I have some serious beef with crickets and junebugs...
@allythekid I'm fine with them at a distance but in my bed? No thanks.

@mrscorker do you have a snap and go? I took DS1 for lots of walks in the snap and go when he was a newborn- he was nice and cozy in the car seat and would sleep!

I don't know what that is. Is that the infant seat that snaps into the stroller? If so, yes. We have that.

My BF is that a) it's way too quiet on here these days which makes me sad and b) my husband goes back to work on Weds and I'm terrified to be alone with baby. He has been such a huge help and it's so nice to have the company. I have no family here so I'm pretty much on my own, oye.

Yes! the walks helped but my LO to sleep and he'd stay asleep once we got home. Might be worth a shot!
My MBF is my SO comes into the room wakes me up, wakes the baby up because "shes just so cute", and then go to sleep so I have to try to put the baby back down. e.e
