I am not looking forward to breastfeeding AT ALL because I can't wrap my head around my boobs not being sexual anymore. I don't understand how it helps you "bond" with baby.
I don't buy ANY Christmas presents, and I don't expect any either.
I generally don't like other peoples' kids at all.
I hate hearing other pregnant women b*tch about how they're so tired of everybody making comments or sharing their opinions. Enjoy being pregnant darnnit! No need to be annoyed by everything.

I have a friend who hands her baby off to me te second she walks in my house. Do I want to hold her? No. Not at all. She is beautiful and adorable but I just don't like holding other people's kids. I just hand her over to the daddy.

I wish my patients family members would stop bringing food for a Christmas. Thank you for the thought. People don't wash their hands nearly enough and god knows what they've accidentally touched. Everyone dig into the large plate of cookies and MRSA...yummy. Makes me sick.

This might not seem like a big deal to some, but it totally is for me! Now that it's winter and I can wear bulky jackets, there are times when I go to the store or other such places (where I can keep my coat on) without a bra. I still haven't been able to find anything that fits me comfortably after this new... size increase, so it's just easier to go free sometimes I like how liberated I feel and I'm glad that I'm not PG in the summer because I could never be brave enough to do it then!
Ha! I totally know what you mean! I made dinner last night topless, which is totally unlike me. But I told H I was tired of trapping my new boobs in old bra they don't fit in, but I'm too cheap to buy any new ones until they stop growing! He looked at me like a crazy lady kinda, but I doubt he minded that much, lol!

This is probably a UO but I forgot about it yesterday.
I despise Holiday food. I am very simple and only like mashed potatoes with gravy and dark meat turkey. I hate stuffing, peas, pies, holiday/italian cookies. On Xmas eve, we have Chinese food.
I edit probably 50-75% of my posts, but don't list that in my post. I don't think people care if I edited because of a spelling or grammatical error or to elaborate/clarify a thought.
I kind of want a girl, mostly because I'm terrified that I won't know how to parent a boy. And I really like frilly dresses. I obviously want a healthy baby above all else, but there is that little bit of me that wants a baby girl.

I made half a box of pasta for DS and I to have to lunch and dinner, and I think we're going to kill it just for lunch. Which means I have to find something else for dinner now.

I really don't want to spend Christmas with anyone but DH. It is our first one as a married couple. But we got guilted into going to my Granny and Grandaddy's, (whom I actually really adore and spend most Xmas's with) b/c "there won't be many more of these" which is true, they are both 87 and in failing health. The whole family was supposed to be there. But now its just me, DH, and my mother. My dad is on call all weekend, my brother's newly ex'd-wife didn't want to let his 3 kids come (though he didn't get to see them on Thanksgiving), then his Doctor scheduled his foot surgery for early Monday morning. Plus my Granny is still in the hospital recovering form a fall and an intestinal blockage. So we will be spending the entire time in her hospital room listening to her b*tch (she is an awesome complainer ) while trying not to vomit from the hospital smells.

It's not a requirement. Why don't you just FF instead?
I think the BFing doll is stupid. I gave my baby dolls plastic bottles, and it had no influence whatsoever when it came time to feed my own child. I somehow managed to BF without ever having put a plastic doll to chest.
I am a brat about sharing my name. Growing up no one else had my name. It was a boy's name and not a popular one at that. Now it's in the top 25, and everywhere I go I hear people calling my name. Warning: Just b/c you pick a unique name doesn't mean it will stay that way. Your kids could end up 30 years and sharing their name with 10,000 little girls 2 and younger.

If DH's family gets him tube socks for Christmas, I may have to scream..
They think it's funny because it irritates me. DH likes to wear 2 pairs of socks at a time (He claims extra cushion??) Well, that's fine and dandy, however, when he has 2 large tote bins FULL of white tube socks, I'd say enough is enough. I even got so pissed at him about it that I took the time to count the individual socks he had. 207 SOCKS!! That's 103 1/2 pairs!
I don't eat as well as I should - no fruits, no veggies, I was told no bacon (yea right). I have always been a meat and potato girl. DH keeps pushing me to eat better and I just don't want to. I'm taking all the vitamins and even the omegas - so blah on that. Maybe later I'll crave them or something but now - nope.
- I also haven't started working out... which will most likely just hurt me in the end when I go to deliver... I am really hoping my attitude changes soon.

I just got drop-kicked into a different office 1/2 way across the state. My commute just doubled and my new manager is unpleasant at best. All because my company is unionized and someone with more seniority wanted my job.
I was forced to train my replacement before I left. I may have accidentally forgot a few important job details when training her.
Oh, and I get awkward about opening gifts infront of people. I am afraid my reaction won't be what they were hoping for. I don't know how to explain it, but I'd rather unwrap it later by myself. It was extremely hard at my wedding shower, and if I get baby shower, I have a feeling this will be the same way.

I feel exactly the same way. When Ella has her birthday parties I always push the presents to the side and we never open them in front of people. I don't know why, but it bothers me to open gifts with people watching. There is always one mom that announces "lets open presents" ugh....so I usually let Ella open that gift to the side with them if they want to see her open them. Anyway, my point is, if you feel this way now, it won't change with your children.
Oh, and you don't have to open gifts at the shower. With my daughter it exhausted me to open the presents. It was so hard, being so big leaning down, opening gifts, fake smiling for pictures. I think who ever holds the shower for you can work it out where you don't have to open them in front of everyone. You can also always use the excuse that you want to do it with your husband so he can be a part of the shower too. They can't argue with that!

I never thought about how it would be with LO and birthday parties...
I also get an anxiety (because it has happened about a handful of times) where I will get a kid something for Christmas/Birthday, and someone else has given them the same exact thing. I've learned that if I see them open a gift that wasn't from me, but was exactly what I had gotten them, I will pull it from the pile, and explain it to the parent so they can save me the embarassment.
You can try a wrap free shower. Gifts are laid out on the table with no wrapping paper and you don't have to open anything. This sounds weird but I am actually glad that in my religion we don't have baby showers. I really don't want one. People just send gifts when the baby is born.

I got my son a "toy baby brother" when I had my second son which he would would BF from his belly button along with me. He's definitely not going to need those skillz to raise a child but it is great fodder for embarrassing him for the rest of his life

I am the WORST at opening gifts. Even if I really like them I have a terrible fake reaction. My husband totally makes fun of me for it.

I called into work for tomorrow tonight. I really don't feel good, I've felt really warm since around 3pm. But.. I feel guilty. I work at a grocery store & I know they're going to be really busy tomorrow. I feel really bad.
But also - I'm thinking about being a SAHM.. so I'm kinda having senioritis & all the m/s right now isn't helping this problem.

My mother drives me up the freakin wall and wanted to tell her to F-off the other day.
and I couldnt find a box to wrap my brothers USB thingy in so I wrapped it in a tampon box. I obviously dont need them any time soon.
OH and I havent taken prenatals/vitamins sense like week 8 of my pregnancy. They all make me sick.
My mom didnt take any with me and I turned out ok.... I think *counts fingers and toes* yup I'm good.
I'm hoping/counting on my mom taking me shopping while we are visiting so I can get some more maternity clothes.
I still need to finish binding the last quilt I'm giving as a gift for Christmas.
About half of my gifts this year were handmade. However, the other half came from chain stores.
I have a friend who hands her baby off to me te second she walks in my house. Do I want to hold her? No. Not at all. She is beautiful and adorable but I just don't like holding other people's kids. I just hand her over to the daddy.
