FFFC!

My FFFC is that I hate when I bring LO to a family members house for a few hours and send over several outfits and they ALL come back "dirty" in a plastic bag. He doesn't need a new outfit every time he gets a quarter size drop of spit-up if you're not even bringing him anywhere. It's 80-90 degrees, he would rather be naked anyways!!

My FFFC is that I judge people that go to Panama City beach in Florida for vacation. They don't call it "the redneck riviera" for nothing.

My husband thinks we are done having kids and wants to get a vasectomy.  He doesn't know that I really think I want a 3rd child.

My MIL annoys the crap out of me. She is so passive aggressive and "polite" I want to jump out of my skin when she talks. And she talks to Ari in the most annoying, high pitched voice. It's like nails on a chalk board. 

But I will gladly take her babysitting Ari for an entire week next week while I take a week long grad class. At least I don't have to be around her when she is watching him.

I will buy her a thank you gift though. Because if I didn't she would probably hate me forever.

I went there on spring break in college.  I can't imagine going for any reason other than a drunken week with college students from around the country.

I text and drive, bump and drive, facebook and drive, etc. etc.  I know it's bad and I've stopped for brief periods of time (most of the pregnancy, the first few weeks she here).  But with 30 minute commutes twice a day on a straightaway highway, I get so bored!

I've been on lots of vacays to the Gulf Shores/Orange Beach area which is also "redneck riviera" territory. If you stay at a decent resort, it's really not so bad.

She's tired. I keep trying to get her to fall asleep in her bouncer chair. But its not happening. Ugh I just want to lay on the couch by myself and not have to hold her or rock her or rub her head for once.

On Sunday, I was at my mom's and she made a pitcher of margaritas. I had one. It was so good I drank it pretty fast and got a buzz. About 2 hours later Lyla wanted to eat. I probably wasn't ok to drive but I fed her anyway.

Here is my dirty little secret. 

Before he was born, Andy was a bastard child for a while.  That's right, we weren't married when I got KU.  J and I have been together for a few years, and knew we were going to get married, it's not like we had only been dating for a little while.  But we went and eloped.  Andy isn't the reason we got married, but it did help us pull the trigger (shotgun wedding pun, ha!).  

It gets better.  We didn't tell anyone (besides our witnesses) that we got married until my parents came to visit when Andy was 3 weeks old.  We wanted both of our families to find out at the exact same time.  

I've been apprehensive to admit this on here because of some people's thoughts on pre-marital pregnancies.  I'm not ashamed at all, because in my mind being married is not a pre-requisite for having a stable family.

No offense, but it's people like you that almost hit me when I'm running.

Eta: I literary dodge at least 5 cars while I'm out and about, and I'm all the way over. Most people are on their cell phones, which is illegal here. Please pay attention while you drive.

I wouldn't judge that anyway, but I find it near impossible to judge it while looking at your siggy pic, because I imagine him saying all of that with this "don't mess with me" kind of face. I'm pretty sure he could take me.

I might have a similar collection with coordinating outfits and I can't help but love it. I have a sun hat problem as well. My DH rolls his eyes at me a lot about this but luckily my DD seems to be a pretty good sport about it so far.

My allergies/sinuses have been going crazy during our move, and my nose has started bleeding on and off. I drove to the BMV the other day, and when I got there, I had a horribly painful clot in my nose and HAD to get it out. As soon as I got relief, I realized the car I was parked across had 2 people sitting inside of it watching me. I didn't care one bit and carried on my way. You can't blow those things out people.

Oh, and my LO slept for 7.5 hours last night (the most ever was 5 before), and I really wanted to put a AW post about it, since clearly he only did it for my birthday and probably won't to it again any time soon, but then I remembered how much I hate sleep posts. I don't care how much your kid slept last night, so I know you don't care how much my kid slept.

DD had a gooey eye last week so I took her to the doctors. It ended up being a clogged tear duct. I lied to MIL and told her it might be conjunctivitis just so we didn't have to go over there for our weekly dinner....

It really wasn't worth it though because when we went over this week I got to listen to "Your mommy was mean and wouldn't let me see my little baby. She isn't very nice". Then told me how DD doesn't remember her any more because she missed a visit.

All I wanted to do was breastfeed and have been doing everything possible to increase my supply and correct or latch for it to work. Everything but increase my caloric intake throughout the day because I wanted to lose the weight and hate how I look and have suffered with eating..issues..in the past.  For the past week or so I did increase my caloric intake and saw a boost in supply.  

I keep looking at myself in the mirror and wondering if not losing the weight is worth her getting the measly amount of breast milk I produce, or if  being vain and losing weight is more important to me.  I hate to say that, and my husband would be so angry because he knows how much I wanted to bf, but with such bad body image issues and clearly not losing any weight at all its killing me.  I wont both equally and cant have that.  And I dont really want to spend $$$ on tons of new cloths, but I threw all my fat clothes away once I lost weight last year and our pregnancy was a surprise.  If I knew then I would have kept them.

No judging here. My DF and I really only got engaged to make others happy about us being pregnant. We decided to ttc, then a few months later got engaged. No one knew we were ttc. I didn't get pregnant until 4 months later. We have always planned on getting married eventually but knew it would be a problem for some on my side of the family if we weren't at least engaged. It's actually funny once we announced I was pregnant people started asking if we still were planning on getting married...what? Of course lol

I judged two smoking mothers this week and got to the point where I almost told one of them off. The first woman was smoking and driving with her LO in the car. The one I almost told off was a lady at the zoo who was smoking while holding her toddler on her hip. I don't care if you decide to smoke- that is a personal choice- but DO NOT subject that baby or toddler to the secondhand smoke. They don't have a choice to not inhale that cigarette and I find it extremely irresponsible of those mothers to put their children in that situation.

Sometimes when DH gets home from work I tell him Ive had to poop all day and ask if he can chill with LO for a while so I can go in peace.  What I really do is sit on the toilet and bump for a little while. 

Also, I havent gone to the dentist in years and im afraid to go now bc I think he/she will judge that I havent been in.

I remember that...enjoyed my last cigarette at TGI Fridays on hall road...I would never smoke around ds not in the house, in the car or any other community space that he shares. I smoke outside..it's bad but...I'm bad.

My FFFC is that for the past couple of weeks I've been trying to train LO to not be held so much... so I put him down on his pillow, activity gym, or on a blanket to entertain himself...it was rough the first 3 days...but he is happy as a clam now to be chillin on the floor (as long as he can see me)... I didn't let him CIO though. when he would start to scream I'de make faces at him and talk to him or pat his butt, which always makes him happy, but I wouldnt pick him up unless he was red faced crying...now I can poop without a baby in the bathroom with me.

In Ontario, its illegal for anyone in the vehicle to smoke if a child under the age of 16 is present! Its been in effect for a few years now.

I rarely, if ever let LO cry, let alone CIO but tuesday DH and I had sex for the first time since thanksgiving (Canadian thanksgiving) and LO woke up (he was not in the room with us). We chose to let him cry while we finished, it was only 2-3 minutes but little man was not impressed. The flameful part, I don't even feel quilty for letting him cry. DH and I needed that time and LO was just fine. I do hope he stays asleep the entire time next time though!

JaiMacreiberts

I'm spending my time at work bumping, watching videos of Lily that DH sends me each day, playing on Shutterfly and getting stuff together for my interview.

I just spent $100 that I don't plan to tell DH about.  I bought new shirts and bras so I can workout during my lunch break.  I also bought extra makeup, deodorant, hair stuff, makeup remover and weights that I can just keep at work to make life easier.

I do not understand the point of changing babies into pajamas at night.  Unless she's wearing a big poufy dress, Josie just sleeps in whatever she was wearing that day.

I want to flame you, I hope you already feel guilty about it. I always think about how the news stories of accidents always report if drinking was involved, or a cell phone. To me that shows how people think it is a preventable accident if someone has been drinking or texting. I am no lawyer, but I bet it can make you more responsible for what happens (i.e. jail time).

I like the commercials, that talk about how nothing is important enough it can't wait. Get books on tape, subscribe to satallite radio, do what you need to do to entertain yourself without risking your life and others. Your baby needs you.

I had to lay a guilt trip on DH for this, he is a reformed texter. He still looks at his phone to see who the text is from, I haven't broken him of that yet. My MIL is my next target.

I've been trying to circumvent our office's new FB block for 2 days.  I figured out how to do it at our last office, but I think this one can't be done.  This means that I FB on my phone while at work . 

Thank God TB isn't blocked!

Oh, and this goes with my other FFFC, which is I've done zero work since returning on Wednesday.  Thankfully, we were all just reading and discussing the SCOTUS ruling yesterday (I'm a health insurance attorney), but today I may need to attempt to do something.

*sigh* 

*hugs* I lost 40 pounds a few years ago & kept it off until I got pregnant & gained it all back. I'm still only down 12lbs!! Breastfeeding is going well for me, and I'm thankful. But there are days when I feel selfish & want to quit, or at least drastically cut my calories in order to lose weight. I'm more hungry now than I was when I'm pregnant! I hate it! I always feel guilty because the health of my baby should come first. That doesn't stop the feelings though. I really hope my daughter doesn't have the food & body image issues I have.
