I wanted to shave my legs since its been in the uppers 90's all week. So I strapped LO in the swing put on a baby einstein video and walked my happy butt upstairs and took a extra long shower so I could have hairless legs! When I came back down he gave me that look of how dare you leave me down here to watch this crap alone but mommy has soft smooth legs now
I'm seriously considering quitting the Bump. I waste sooo much time on here. And a lot of the time it's distracting me from my work - I work at home. Also, I hate swearing more than most things (yeah, yeah Heifer - boohoo) and I read so much of it on here and now I'm saying the words in my head and I hate it. I feel a little sick about it.
I've been keeping this one a secret... I used intelligender. It was just for fun and I didn't take it seriously, but I've seen a lot of threads about it and never once admitted to using it.
If it makes any bday girls feel better, on my bday I was waking up from surgery, a nurse was using what I am convinced was her entire body weight to squeeze my freshly sliced abs and ute until my guts poured out my vag. Nobody remembered my birthday this year, myself included.
Was it right? What did it predict? I kind of wish I had done it...just for funsies.
I feel really guilty about mine but I NEED to get it off my chest.
Even though I love E more than I ever could have imagined and I love watching her grow and learn, I'm really not enjoying the infant stage like I thought I would. The constant grunting and whining some days is enough to drive me insane. I don't mind crying because she usually only cries when something is wrong but it's the fussing when I have no idea what she wants. Oh, and I hate feeding purees. Sticky kid/baby hands gross me out. So when E grabs at the spoon or gets any of the food on her hand and smears it everywhere, I want to gag. I'm in serious trouble when she gets a little older.
I feel the same way. I love my kids to death, but I could do without the infant stage. I tell DH I want 1 more child, but I want the stork to drop a 1 year old on my doorstep. It would also be preferable if said child was potty trained and could self feed already.
I'm exactly the opposite. I want to freeze DD at this age forever! She's super happy and easy-going, responsive, but can't run around or talk back! My confession is that I can't stand toddlers!
My BF is starting to get on my nerves. She is forever getting time with her H while her inlaws or mom watches their LO. She constantly has help. I barely have any help. She acts like she can relate but she seriously can not. Vacations without her LO, date nights......I guess I'm just jealous.
I turn 20 in a little more than a month, and I'm going on a diet. I'm aiming to lose 20 pounds. By the time I turn 20. ...I'm so lame.
Not flaming, but be careful to set realistic goals... you could be setting yourself up to gain 20 after you turn 20 by wanting to lose too much too fast.
PG#1 - 3rd cycle BFP. Team Green. HELLP syndrome @ 34 weeks. Later diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, possible link to HELLP.
PG#2 M/C 3/14 - Surprise BFP 2/13. Beta's doubled every 52 hours from 3w5d-5w5d Viable pregnancy scan at 5w5d; 2nd u/s showed 2 days of growth in 7 but a HB of 120 3rd u/s on 3/10/14 had no HB and baby had only grown 7 days over 14 D&C 3/17/14 - complications - DX Retroflexed uterus, multiple tears to cervix
I have NO reason to complain because she and FIL came in town 2 days early to help us out around the house because I threw my back out and have been confined to bed (driving me INSANE, but I have gotten more work than I have done in the past week than in the past month...).
She's bipolar and she recently got some really scary health news. I'm nervous for her, and she nearly broke into tears when she told me about it (she's having uterine prolapse issues, etc - sparing you the full details). It's going to require a big surgery and she's going to have to give up smoking (haleliuejah!) and lose weight.
I hope it's for the better because I am scared to death that she wants DH and me to take care of her when she's older.
I had to bite my tongue when she told me that the doctor asked her if she had worked hard all her life and she kept going on about it... but she hasn't worked enough to pull a social security check! SERIOUSLY?! It was so hard not to burst her bubble on that.
And she shouldn't be picking up DS because it's hurting her. I try to stop her every time, but she just snatches him up and walks off. It's not like I can chase her, but I am so scared that she's going to make her health problems worse or have a pain and drop DS. I guess it's time to talk to DH about that. Maybe he can get through to her. Or at least now that it's the weekend, he can be more forceful and take the initiative to move DS to wherever she wants to play with him.
Oh, and today's naps were craptastic. DS has never taken more than 15 minutes or so to settle into his naps and it took over an hour for her to get him to sleep. She swears up and down that she only picked him up once for a few seconds when he was crying, but I was listening to the monitor and could hear him calm down into silence, then hear a pop (like adjusting the crib/setting him down) and then he'd BAWL again. Sometimes he dozes off for me and then wakes up screaming, but then he's out again already.
I was so anxious to let her do a nap because she told me how she intervened in SIL's Ferberizing, and I am hypersensitive that she's intentionally undermining me. And the potential that she's lying to my face is really eating at me.
But I'm just trying to be vigilant and patient. She's only going to be here for another day and a half. She's been very helpful with the house, cooking and watching DS. It's been an overall blessing for her to be here. She's physically and mentally sick, and I love her regardless.
Sorry I'm rambling and am incoherent. I'm heavily medicated. But I do feel better now.

My best friend is mad at me because I won't go see the tour of So You Think You Can Dance when it comes to town in September. I'm rather shoot myself in the ass with a lawn dart than spend $50 to see something I will inevitably sleep through.
I'm late to this party but I LOLed at this
I should be working on my thesis but I'm wasting time on the bump
Re: FFFC
I didn't know anyone one else on here this young! I just turned 20 in may, not I don't feel so bad.
When it's time to put Annabelle's pj's on, I say really loud, "IT'S PJ TIME!" Like t-shirt time.
YGPM!
It did say boy

Okay, I am late to the party.
I cycle from loving to being annoyed by my MIL.
