FFFC or Vent?

CheriLooWho

Okay... this is probably more likely a vent.

Today, at the post office I saw a girl (yep... teen mom) that was in my prenatal class.  She annoyed the crap out of me then, because she was a mouth breather and whiney.  

As luck would have it, she had her baby boy the day after I had Hera.  We shared a room for about 10 hours.  I decided to leave the hospital a day early, because she annoyed the shiit out of me.  The sound of her whiney voice drove me up the wall.  And the fact that her baby slept in the baby bucket tore me apart (Hera was on me like glue from day one).  

So, yeah, I saw her today.  She looked AMAZING!  She was skinny and gorgeous and refreshed!   It pissed me off because I still look 6 months preggo (my fault, I know), and I look like I haven't slept in 10 months (because I haven't!).

I guess it pays to have a kid in your teens... Your body bounces back easier and you have as much energy as your baby!

Yeah... major blow to my ego!

Well, I guess it's more a vent...but I get it.  I'm 36 and I know I havne't bounced back all that great.  Like you said though, it's my fault.  But really, I don't care as much about how I look as I would've about 10 years ago and I really don't care as much as I would've 20 years ago.  I am going to the gym 3 times a week now and it's helping.  Hubs and I plan to do IVF again in February so we'll see how I look after the next baby   I was a pretty hot chick when I was in my 20s...LoL...I have to look at pictures to remember it!

Ditto.  I'm nearly 32.  12 years ago, when I was in college, and couldn't afford to eat often, I was wicked skinny!  ha ha ha!  

I'd LOVE to have another baby, but unless we can genetically pick a boy, it won't happen... know a good geneticist?

What is a "baby bucket"?

I was wondering this myself...?

This is just like my students.  When they have their babies in less then 4 weeks I swear they all look the same.  Not so much the case with me.  So I totally understand.

baby bucket = hospital 'bassinet'.  I thought it looked more like a bucket than a bassinet.  lol

It tore me apart that her baby slept in it, because I had a 31 hour labour, and was EXHAUSTED and couldn't sleep, because Hera didn't want to be put down.  She wanted to be held.  This girl had a breeze of a labour, and slept easily afterwards.
