Re: ~*~Mad Mondays!~*~
Ok, I had to start this one just after midnight (technically Monday at least) to get something off my chest!
Got the ok from OB to have sex now that I am 6 weeks PP. Have not had a PP period yet. So...my hormones have been crazy latley. Up and down. Tonight they were on the up, we did it, didn't use anyting (not used to it, not thinking) and now I feel like a complete idiot. Google is not helping the situation. Apparently one is super fertile during this time period? I got pregnant so easily last time. Right after I got off the pill, pregnant then miscarried. Got pregnant with Jackson on my miscarriage cycle.
We weren't even thinking about TTC. If we decided it was a possibility it would be about 3 years down the road. After the memories of pre-e and NICU were buried deep (hopefully).
I totally deserve flames for this, actually. We weren't thinking at all and I'm just praying praying praying we aren't pregnant. I feel like one of those ignorant newbies when I'm normally not like this. I am normally smart about this shiit!
:::Sigh:::
So that is my Mad Monday confession. I will be worried for at least the next 2 or 3 weeks. Until then I will just try and enjoy Jackson and not think about it.
Can you go get a morning after pill? Hopefully you're not ovulating yet!
Mine is sex related, too. TMI ahead:
I'M SO TIRED OF FIGHTING ABOUT IT.
Honestly, we've never been the do-it-all-the-time types. I very, very rarely ever turn him down. But lately he's been so pouty because he'll put the moves on and I'll say that I have to give Robbie his medicine in 20 minutes or start a feeding in an hour and he has SUCH a hissy fit about how we have to "schedule" everything. Well, yes. We have a child now.. and a child with special needs at that. I'm sorry that his feeding and medicine comes before your lust. I'm not even turning him down, just asking for better timing. But he pouts like a 3yo every time, which of COURSE makes me not want to do it AT ALL.
We've been having this fight at least once a week for the last month or so and I'm sick of it. Tonight I literally told him we could just never have sex again because I'm so tired of fighting about it. If he can't accept that our lives have changed, he can just do without.

TriciaJoy that sounds rough
I'm sorry. Men just don't adjust the same way we do, I don't think. Of course you have to schedule it at this point in your lives! Geez. Maybe taking a break from it and getting rid of the pressure to do it will help out on both ends. If you stop feeling the pressure and he stops feeling resentment I think things will be a lot better.
But really, what do I know?! I am the spontaneous one in our relationship, DH is the planner. And it obviously did not work in our favor tonight when I caught him off guard. Hadn't even thought about the morning after pill, maybe I'll call my OB office in the AM and see what they say. I don't think I am ovulating...I was really in tune with all of that prior to pregnancy. But things could have completely changed on me after being pregnant so i can't say for sure.
I hope things get better between you and DH. Sounds like he needs to give a little if he wants to get a little...
Ugh, I had the worst day yesterday. Of course I was hung over from the forth, which didn't help matters.
I'm not sure if any of you remember what happened with MIL a while ago. We got in a fight about DD being introduced by MIL to her great grandmother when I told her specifically that DH and I wanted to be there (SInce this happened, I have apologized). Then a couple months after that MIL called me a *** in front of DH, my family and friends. DH screamed at her and hasn't talk to her since (2 months ago, and she still hasn't apologized to me). Well, MIL INVITED me, DH, and DD to her house for a get together that was yesterday. I went with DD and my parents. DH stayed home because he is still understandably pissed. I show up, and MIL and FIL didn't even acknowledge me. No "Hi" no "Bye," NOTHING. I sat in the corner, uncomfortable as all hell. Luckily the rest of DH's family was super nice. It was so hard going there, because I wasn't certain what MIL had told all these people about me or what happened, so it was really like I was entering "enemy territory" with no idea what these people thought of me. Everyone was really happy to see me and Charden.
Why would you invite someone to your home only to completely ignore them? I can't believe how immature this 45 year old woman is being. Why didn't the invitation just have Charden's name on it? It's obvious she's the only one you wanted to see. Thanks for making me feel incredibly uncomfortable and unwelcome at a party I was INVITED to, b!tch.
This is TOTALLY flameworthy. And I can't believe I'm about to admit to this.
We have a complicated relationship w/ the ILs. They lost their home and everything that wasn't in their car when Katrina hit NOLA, then they moved across the country to AZ to live near us (literally... down the street). After the boys were born, we moved to a different city because H's job was in serious jeapordy after he took off most of the time the boys were in the hospital. So we feel TREMENDOUS gilt about abandoning the ILs, and they act totally weird to us because they think we put too many limits on their time with the boys because when they come over they want to be here for the whole freaking weekend.
Anyway, last week I decided that it would be easier on us (ie me) if we drove to the ILs house next weekend instead of them coming here. Well, I have since learned that FIL got a bunch of pet birds (cockatoos I think). And that MIL's asthma has been acting up terribly since he brought the birds into the house. I am so, so, so grossed out by those birds and I'm convinced that they are spreading some kind of nasty bird cooties all over their house. And this is on top of the black grime that's in their carpet because their dogs roll around in the dirt outside then track it in the house and they have a super crappy vacuum cleaner that doesn't suck the dirt up - and you get black residue on your feet if you walk barefoot in their house (gross, huh?).
Staying in a hotel is just not an option. They're southerners, and according to H, they would think we were EXTREMELY rude if we told them we were staying in a hotel instead of their house.
So I'm hoping my kids catch a cold this week so we can't travel. And I'm planning on taking them to the playground at the mall every day to expose them to every active germ out there. And I feel like a monster for even considering this.
i'm sorry tierelieber. that is ridiculous. but, while we're on the topic of BSC MILs...
usually i don't post about MIL. she's always been a complete nut and i knew that going into my relationship with DH. he has divorced parents (for about 15 years now) and they are both so concerned about what the other one is doing that it makes life hell (again it's been 15 YEARS!). DH has 2 sibilings. FIL lives in the same town as BIL, so they are close. MIL is very close with SIL because FIL doesn't get along with SIL. MIL and FIL are so busy doting on their respective children at an attempt to "prove" something to the other one that we are often times forgotten about (quite literally, they forget to invite us or tell us things). i knew it was going to be like this once DS arrived, but i was hoping maybe not.
MIL is in town to babysit my nephews while SIL goes to classes at night 2 times a week for 6 weeks. she is "retired" from being a SAHM (not the kind that actually parents, she's mostly just lazy) and has 3 homes throughout the country. she has seen SIL and family almost every day since she has been here, but has only seen DS when we take him to her. so our daycare provider is going to be out of town for a week later this month (we just found out, there was a miscommunication) and i asked her if she could watch him for a day or two. to which she responded that she's leaving before then (she's actually not leaving until day 3 of that week) and she's just "really anxious" to get out of here.
there's no reason she couldn't stay an extra day or two. for crying out loud, she flew here for 6 weeks to watch my nephews. it's very clear where her priorities are, and it's not with DS. which breaks my heart. i'm am SO not looking forward to the day when i have to explain to him why grandma loves C & G more than him.....(there are a 1000 other things that add to this, just too many to add, so i know it sounds like i'm jumping to conclusions, but i'm not)
There obviously is a lot more to my story too. How am I going to explain to DD why Grandma V loves her sosososo much, while Grandma B is too self-absorbed, stubborn, and immature to forgive in order to have a relationship with her? DD is EVERYTHING to my mom, while my MIL just can't grow up and try to heal this relationship in order to know her one and only granddaughter.
