Babies: 0 - 3 Months

It's FFFC time ladies!

Time to let out those confessions! GO!

Re: It's FFFC time ladies!

  • Sometimes I really want to breastfeeding just so I can sleep naked again. I absolutely hate having to sleep with my nursing tanks on, but I love breastfeeding and I'm a cheap ass so I just endure.

    I'm so scared to take a pregnancy test because while I don't believe in getting abortions "just because" , I don't want another baby this soon for many reasons. Should have kept my damn legs shut, right?

  • I feel like the ugly stepchild of the bump.  Pretty sure if I disappeared from this site, no one would notice or care.  Why does this bother me?  Because even though I never met any of you ladies, I feel a connection and appreciate the support I receive every single day regardless of whether or not I post. 

    I'm sure there's more, but we'll start there.

    I can definitely understand considering I've felt like that on many occasions as well. *hugs*

  • I actually liked going back to work...and I don't miss my daughter terribly while I'm there. Didn't cry when I dropped her off the first day or call to check on her after day 1. I tell everyone it's tough to be away from her when they ask, but most of the time that's a lie.

    Yes, I'm always glad to see her again at the end of the day, and I love her dearly. But my daycare provider is wonderful, I know she's happy and well taken care of, and it's wonderful to be me and not Mommy for 30 hours a week.

    and madameprim, your daughter is ADORABLE! Love the chubby cheeks :)

  • I feel the same way sometimes.
  • My brother and his A-hole girlfriend are coming to meet Lo this weekend. It's my brother's first niece or nephew and he hasn't shown any interest and I honestly do NOT want to hand over my kid to him or even pretend to be excited to see them. It's sad we used to be close...

    Oh also I adore all the help my mom is giving physically with cooking, cleaning etc but I need emotional support as well and every time I start to talk to her about my fears, worries and things the only thing she has to say is "don't worry about it" or "don't think about it tonight" gee thanks mom that takes all my worries away. Sometime a person just needs someone to talk to and I have told her this but nothing changes.

    60% of the time I think that internet (Bump) friendships are completely ridiculous and why in the world would anyone need forge relationships on a chat group....the other 40% of the time I am insanely jealous of those who are so well liked on here.

    I posted this exact same FFC about a month ago when I returned to work.  I can completely relate!!

  • All this time I thought I was the only one who felt this way!

    About which FFC?

  • These pp hormones are kicking my butt and I'm on the verge of tears everyday....but I feel like I have to be super-mom/wife because DH doesn't do well with emotions.  Not that he's insensitive, he just doesn't know how to react when I start crying. Sigh. 
  • I really don't like my MIL and I don't trust her with DS. She isn't totally crazy, but has done some things in the past to bother me and I still hold them against her. At this point, I do not ever think I will leave her alone with him for an extended period of time because I'm not confidant that she knows what she's doing. Yes, she had 2 children of her own, but that was 30+ years ago. I tried to tell DH how I feel in a nice way, but he doesn't get it. Hopefully I'll start to feel comfortable at some point otherwise this could be an issue between us...

    My mom does the exact same thing.
  • After the support of the wonderful bumpies last night, I plan to 100% put my son in this onsie tomorrow for his fathers scheduled visit. Thats if he shows.

  • I felt super guilty buying generic formula the other day, even though it's the exact same thing as Enfamil and Similac.

    Thank you! She's a chunker lol. I know what you mean about not missing LO but being happy to see them. I always felt like a bad mom when people would talk about having such a hard time or even crying when having to leave LO with someone because I didn't feel that way. I left Gia with my grandmother on several occasions while they were here helping, and I never missed her or had trouble leaving her. My grandmother is like the baby whisperer so I knew she was in good hands.

    I would notice if you disappeared. It's human nature to want to feel included/accepted. Don't stress it mama! I appreciate your advice and support on these boards!

  • I often find myself resenting my daughter. I feel like someone dropped her off at my doorstep and I'm stuck with her.?

    My DH has this problem....and so I don't buy it. If it gives him peice of mind I guess it is worth the extra cost.

    My FFFC is I am overly amused with my step-son's break up with his girlfreind. I love him like he was my own, but this is playing out like a redneck soap opera.::insert country breakup song:: (he isn't heartbroken) I saw her actually do donuts in his front yard and peal out in front on his house; I assume trying to throw dirt on it. Then she had the nerve to say she got stuck and he beleived her!!! Until the next morning when he saw the yard. That is just the tip of the iceburg. I usually don't like drama but this it too funny to me.

    Aww, thanks!  It's nice to hear sometimes!

  • I want my old life back. I want to run errands all day with my husband on saturday, I don't want to have to find a babysitter to go to church, I want to sleep, I want to watch a tv show uninterrupted! Right now we are driving in the car and the baby is crying. We have things we need to get done and now we can't!
  • I know I am a good mom (at least I'm doing the best I can), but I am a HORRIBLE "housewife."  I hate cleaning, I don't particularly enjoy cooking and I'm not very good at picking up after myself.  Yet, I hate it when the house is a mess!

    I feel bad because I do have time to keep the house clean every day and do our piles of laundry since DS naps like a champ.  However, I would rather sit on my butt.  Good thing I'm going back to work next week, at least then I'll be making money while DS is napping.  :)

    I can relate to this, I have been feeling this way. Mine is I thought everything was getting better, but I feel like I am losing complete control over myself. I am having panic attacks daily and crying over everything from getting up with LO to having to change/feed him again. My husband (who is very understanding and loving) is even starting to lose patience and is having just as hard of a time understanding what is going on with me as I am.

    I would talk to your OB about PPA. I have both PPA/PPD and I'm still struggling with it, but your OB might be able to help you.?

  • I have another confession...

    I think some of the babies on here are ugly. Not mine of course. Just other bumpies'. Wink?

  • Even though I'm at work all day and only get a few hours with DS at night, I still find myself getting frustrated at him when he gets fussy. I feel like I should be so happy to get to spend time with him but instead I am praying that he'll go to bed early so I can have 10 minutes to sit on the couch and relax.

    On Easter we went to my SIL's cousins house. They had a baby on the 19th. I have never seen a baby with an adult face like this before. I guess he was cute in that sense. But I just kept looking at lo and thinking man are you way cutier. And as soon as we got in the car I asked if anyone else noticed how their baby looked. Oh well he was fugly.

  • Here is mine:

    I get SO annoyed of random strangers in public constantly asking questions about my baby and over-sharing about their own children.  I just want to go to the store and not be bothered!  I am well aware that my child has lots of hair/ is big for her age/ smiles a lot/ etc etc.  I don't need all these things pointed out to me multiple times everywhere we go.  Sorry, this probably sounds ungreatful, but it gets old after awhile.

  • I don't feel bad or cry when Lia is crying. I see it as her letting me know she needs something. 

    16 and pregnant is my guilty pleasure show. I totally judge a lot of those girls.

    When DS is really upset and is screaming, then he breaks my heart.  But a lot of times he does a little cry to let us know he's hungry or upset for some reason, and I think it's ADORABLE!  He gets the cutest pouty look i've ever seen.  Then I feel bad for laughing when he's crying.

    And I also love 16 & pregnant.

  • I'm really pissed at both my parents for making no attempts whatsoever to come and see DD.  They've been here twice (I had to invite both times) early on, and I went to see my mom once during the day, and we saw them on Easter.  Everyone that I talk to from work wants to know how my mom likes the baby (mom and I work in the same school district) and I just want to yell that she barely knows the baby.  DD is not the first grandchild, so I get that.  And DH has been home with me this whole time as he is finishing school, so it's not like I need a constant source of help.  But it would be really nice and loving if my parents could at least call or offer to come and do laundry or something that shows they care about me, DH, or our little peanut even the smallest amount.

  • I was excited for my DH to go back to work. He was off for 5 weeks and was making me a little crazy. I love him to death, but 5 weeks of taking care of a newborn and a husband was too much!

    This is me, 110%!  Except, I'm not going back to work next week.  DH wants me to be a SAHM, but I don't think I can, simply because that means I'll be expected to keep up on housework and such.
