FFFC

Kymbirleigh

Let's here em!

I'll have to come back to this later.... I'm drawing a blank on the one I thought of the other day..... 

Kymbirleigh

My FFFC - I got irritated at MH for buying lunch every day at work, when we have plenty of stuff at home he could take....I mainly got irritated because it was cutting into my spending money.   Now I feel really bad that I was so selfish.

This is probably more of an UO, but I just thought of it this morning laying in bed...I think it's dumb when people buy their carseat, stroller, carrier, etc for LO for Christmas/Birthday. Just buy the damn thing because you need it. If you don't want to get LO any other presents, don't...they're not going to realize it when they're 6 mos old or 1 year old.

I use the sink sprayer in the kitchen to scare my dog. She isn't allowed in the kitchen and she knows it, but she always breaks the rules.  She also hates water.  I laugh when she cowers away as I spray her with water.

I am addicted to True Lime in my water.  This results in my drinking excessive amounts of water. I'm embarrassed by how often I get up to use the restroom and I use different paths to get to the restroom so the same coworkers won't see me getting up every 30 minutes. 

Sometimes I check FB and TB on my phone at redlights.  I do not look at my phone while I'm driving, but I think I am pathetic because I can't just sit patiently at a redlight without doing something.

While I am happy to be expecting LO#2 sometime in early Dec./late Nov., I am very nervous about being a mommy of 2 LOs under 2.  I don't want to give up any of my time with LO #1, fear not being able to BF him until 1 yo (my personal goal-although we are still going strong), and am deathly afraid of being home by myself with two LOs for really long days (6a-9p).  Sigh...

DH is sooo beyond excited that we are pregnant again. I am jealous of the fact he can look at it with such excitement and what appears to be no reservations. I was an accident and was told that my whole life and I told DH that it bothers me that this pregnancy wasnt planned because I hated being the unplanned one. I didnt want to do that to my kids. We will never tell LO #2 they werent planned, but it bothers me. 

I am excited and would not change anything, but I do wish it would have been planned rather than a surprise...

Glad to see I am not the only one! How did your Beta's come back?

aw, don't feel that way!! It can be a surprise without being an accident! My older sister and I were Clomid babies, my younger brother and sister were surprises. They've always known it and embraced it, they call themselves "the a-team!" and say that God just knew he didn't get it quite right with the first two so he had to keep trying

I was so behind on laundry that Wednesday I had to wear Tuesday's undies turned inside out.

Kymbirleigh

....On Monday.... I clogged one of the toilets at work...and didn't tell anyone. The sad thing is... The person that handles the calls regarding that is my mom, so I shouldn't have been that embarrassed to report it.... About an hour later I guess someone else reported it because I heard the call on the 2-way radio for someone to check it out..... And then they reported it back that they couldn't get it unclogged and maintenance would have to work on it.

Not flaming.  I promise.  However, I really think you need to change your vocabulary.  I hate the word accident with a passion in this instance.  I was not planned either.  My parents never, not once, used the word accident.  In this situation, I think it's a really ugly word.  They always said I was a wonderful surprise. Start thinking of this baby (and yourself for that matter) as a wonderful surprise and blessing, and maybe your attitude and feelings will change also.

GL mama!  I hope the shock wears off soon!

I don't have the exact number, but the doctor wants me to go for a dating ultrasound.  The earliest I can get in at a time when I don't have to take time off of work is next Friday (4/5).  I can't wait to find out how far along I am.  I am just starting to feel nauseous and breast tenderness when nursing DS.  I am nervous and excited, but feel exactly the same way about being suprised...I want to be pregnant on my terms and feel terrible that I feel that way!  The timing of this couldn't be worse.  LO#2 will likely be born when DH is the busiest at work.  Do you have a due date yet?

I dont think you are flamming me at all. I dont see this baby as an accident at all and do see it as a wonderful surprise and blessing. Before we even TTC with Avery we were told we would need fertility treatments. I went through acupuncture to get pregnant with him. I am thrilled we were able to get a surprise BFP.I know how many women on this board would kill to get the surprise BFP.

It was just the term my parents used. They always said it jokingly, but it still bothered me. I too hate the word with a passion in this instance as well and will never view this baby as such.

I go for Bloodwork on Wednesday and then on 4/11 go for a dating ultrasound, so I wont know until then. Im guessing I am due November 15th, but that is just a stab in the dark of when I think my LMP was. 

DH told me Tuesday night that he found some 2u2 boards and people were saying that after the shock wore off and then LO #2 arrived that while it is complete chaos, they love it. He said it will just make us that much better of a team.

I look at it as whether LO #2 is boy or girl, we get to buy all new clothes since the seasons will be completely off . I love baby clothes.

I took a crappy off brand test yesterday.  It looked positive at first and I was kind of excited.  Then it faded away.  Which was relief.  I don't know why I want a BFP when I really am no where ready for  a LO #2. 

I hate to say this to you, but TEST AGAIN ASAP!  This is what happened to me with one of my tests and the others came back BFPs.

I don't know how FFFCish this is, but LO hates the Apple Cinnamon Puffs I got her so I've been eating them.  I opened them on Tuesday and the can is just about gone.

Sometimes I really miss home. Then my mom catches me up on all the family drama and I remember why I got the eff out if dodge in the first place. My husband's family takes drama to the next level.  As a kid I never understood why my dad didn't want to be around his family or my mom's family but now I completely understand. I will never move back home and as soon as me and my husband are done with school we are moving away from his family too. So my confession is: I like my family and my husband's family better from a distance.

I was an accident baby too. My older brother is just under ten months older than i am (Irish twins).  My parents never used the phare "accident" but everyone else sure did.  My mom would always remind me that i was very much wanted but i understand why you hate it.

 My FFFC i made an Amazon wish list for Bell's birthday and gave it to my mother, as i know she's tacky enough to spread it around.

My DH has been wanting to get his sleeve finished for as long as I can remember. It would probably be about $500. I keep telling him no because we have other things we need to take care of, yet I spend $150+ on makeup every couple months, $80 on my nails/toes/waxing each month, and $60 on tanning each month. Sometimes I kind of feel bad, but most of the time I dont lol

This is awesome! I wish I could drink more water.  I was really good while pregnant, but while on ML I got back on my Diet Coke habit and I can't seem to kick it.

I spent all of Los nap times Wednesday watching tv and on the computer. I always feel guilty when I do that! 

Sometimes I regret quitting my job to be a sahm, it is so hard to find teaching jobs these days. I love being home with ds but I feel like all the hard work I put into my degrees and career is being wasted. I finished all my grad work the beginning of march and am graduating in may but I just don't feel proud of myself at all because really, what am I doing with it!

LoL! I feel better now. Thankfully, MH is a go with the flow kind of person, and as long as we have money in savings and can still pay all our bills he gives me freedom to spend whatever I want (within reason, of course).

I don't think there's anything wrong with that. My cousin made one for her DD's 1st birthday and indicated it on the invitation. We all thought it was the greatest idea ever. Who wants to stress about what to get a 1 yr old for their birthday? It made it sooo much easier for my whole family. I will be making one as well.

I agree, I don't think there is anything wrong with it.  I was just stressing about what to get my nephew for his birthday.  I don't know what he already has or what he really needs and my SIL feels bad giving suggestions, but doing a wish list would make it easier.  Just do a range of prices and be done.

Great point!  I love baby clothes, too! 

DH wants a little girl this time.  I will be happy with either as long as he or she is healthy, but know that a little girl will get spoiled to death by the grandmas!

We have a cat that has been out of control peeing all over the house.  We've tried everything we can think of to fix the problem but she won't stop so she is now supposed to be confined to only the kitchen and basement (locked in by a baby gate).  I feel so bad for her I keep letting her out during the day when my husband is at work but I know it's just a matter of time until I'll turn my back, she'll pee on something else and he'll know.

Ok i feel better now; people gave my SIL such crap for making one a few years ago.  I thought it was nice since she was the first to have a kid.  I'm more of a no gifts please person and was trying to avoid getting lots of junk.

I get mad about this too. Mostly I get mad because he always says he wants to bring lunch, so I make food for him to bring and it goes to waste. Grrr.

I gave LO Dimatapp a few nights ago.  He had a 102.7 fever for 24 hours (we gave him ibuprofen to keep it down) and he couldn't sleep.  For the life of me I couldn't figure out what was wrong.  I let him fall asleep on me but he would wake up every 15 minute and whimper (it was so sad).  I drugged him and he slept all night   He woke up a new, happy baby.

rattlecanqueen

For the past week we've turned off the monitor to facilitate in sleep training.  He's straight across the hall so we can still hear him if he gets really worked up.  So far he's only ended up in our bed twice.  He's middle of the night feedings were getting earlier and more frequent. He's also turned into a spider monkey when he sleeps.  But let me tell you, I've gotten at least 8 hours of glorious, long needed zzzzzzs the 5 nights he stayed in his room!

Oh, I've been there too. I got irritated because I told MH his lunch was sitting on the counter (he leaves just a few minutes after me).... I get home and low and behold there sits his sandwich and veggies... I commented that I take it you forgot your lunch. And he said yeah.... I said that sucks because now it's spoiled.... His response, I'll eat it now.   Deli meat sitting for over 8 hours on a counter, no you won't!

One day this week my H left half of his foot-long tuna sub on his desk at work and he ate it for lunch the next day!  Tuna...mayo...on his desk...for 24 hours.  He lived to tell me about it.  Double

I know how you feel.  I am really nervouse about being home alone all day with a 12 month old and a newborn.  I'm sure we'll get through it and when we look back it will all be a blur lol.  I also wanted to bf for a year, but my supply really tanked when I hit the second tri.  At that point we started supplementing with formula and I officially completely weaned about a week and a half ago.  It was really, really tough, but things are getting a little bit easier now. 

My FFFC:  I have GD.  Yesterday I went into Dunkin Donuts with Lucy to get a small cup of coffee (I guess that alone could be flameful, right?).  The smell and look of all the pretty donuts made it really hard for me to be in there, but I stayed strong and resisted temptation.  However, the girl behind the counter thought Lucy was so cute so she gave her a munchkin on a coffee stirrer thingy.  I thanked her, left, walked far enough out of sight and ate it myself.  Oops.

Eh I'm the same way.  I once ate almost an entire sandwich before realizing that the bread was moldy.  I just think it contributes to my stomach of steel.  I probably would have eaten the tuna sandwich too. ;-)

My H is the exact opposite.  He's hyperparanoid about expiration dates and how long things have been left out.  I have to assure him multiple times that dip that's been in the fridge for 1 day is still good or that he can drink milk 2 days before the expiration date (shoot- I've been known to cook with it after the exp. date sometimes, too).  It's almost to the point of ridiculousness.  If something is getting close to the date, like sour cream or Ranch (or even milk), I'll use it anyway and bury the container in the trash- because if I don't bury it, he'll check and not eat dinner.

My husband does this all the time. We were away from each other for like 6 weeks because I got a job in Southern California and I moved down with LO while he was getting his transfer with his job figured out so he had to stay up North. Well he ate lunch and dinner every day pretty much for 6 weeks and we definitely could not afford for him to do it but he did it anyway!!!! 

Mostly it bothered me because he doesn't want to spend a lot of money on LO's 1st birthday but I do so I knew he would come later and say that we didn't have enough money for her birthday but apparently enough for him to eat out everyday! lol sorry that turned into a rant but I agree completely.

My confession is that although I love all of C's bathtime pictures, I was disappointed it won the challenge vote.  I'm still going to put up C's Easter pictures in the bluebonnets as my April siggy.  I've been looking forward to having a baby to shove in the bluebonnets for years now

My DH is the same as yours!  He is paranoid about milk that is a day before the expiration date, let alone a day after.  He always says, "I hope your right and it won't kill me or DS."
