I confess that my BYOBabies book club starts on Mon and I've barely cracked the book I'm supposed to read. What I have read, I don't like. I feel like I'm in school and I've left a project too long!
Ohhh and I also confess that I cut ds's hair today. I may have butchered it, but the real part of this confession is that I did it while he was in his bumbo... On the counter... Dun dun dun!
Before you get your diapers in a knot I never walked away from him or turned my back on him.
My FFC: I am not a baby person. I love my baby and she is the best baby ever and I can play with her all day every day, but I have less interest in other babies than I feel like most moms do. Even other people's kids, it's hard for me to muster up a lot of interest. I feel bad that I'm not a better aunt in-law to my nephew in-law.

I used to be like this. Then my sister had her kid, and i liked her obviously more than other babies. She was so cool. But since having Lou, i love babies now. I cant get enough! They are so funny!

I'm a little it the same. Worse yet, I adore my niece from my sister as though she were my own child, but have very little interest in my niece and nephew from my sil. I'm still affectionate and nice towards them, it just takes a lot more effort on my part whereas it comes very naturally with my sister's daughter.
Spanx have become a far too frequent part of my wardrobe. I even wear them under jeans when I'm going somewhere so I don't have muffin top. I feel silly and vain.
Also, yesterday when LO was napping I was trying to nap too. I heard him talking on the monitor so I just turned it off and turned on my own white noise machine so I have to hear him babble. When I turned it back on 5 minutes later he was back to sleep, so I don't feel too bad about it.

I'm an only child, so I only have a nephew on my husband's side. I love my SIL and get along great with her, and her son does love his "tata nicole", but I feel bad that I am not super into my relationship with him.
Back when we were all pregnant everyone was whining about wanting to deliver so they could have their bodied back. I said that if you planned to bf, you would not have your body back. Everyone was like, "no its different. I will too have my body back!" I said, ok, if you say so.
FF to after giving birth, those same ladies whined about not having their bodies back and I really really wanted to say, I told you so! I refrained, but I guess this is me saying I told you so!

I want a tummy tuck. My weight is coming off and I see progress. I just feel that my stomach will never be the same. I had a c-section. I feel that having a c-section has not helped the way I feel about myself. My hubby said I could when my LO is one year old if I still want one. I have already started research on tummy tucks.

Hold off unless you are done having kids or you will have to do it again, and I'm jealous that your H is ok with it.
Rosalie is having an ultrasound on the little knot on her head today that still hasn't gone away and it's at 1, so when I get done, we're going to go take a nap before I pick Juliana up from after-school....probably close to 5.

I knew I wouldn't have my old body back, but everybody says if you bf the weight will just fall off, I can't lose a pound for the life of me anymore. I also didn't realize the emotional toll being overweight would have on me.

I was looking at my belly and I thought "I totally get why women get tummy tucks now". I didn't before.
I will be getting a breast reduction when I am done. Then they put the girls back where they are supposed to be.
I have zero sympathy for those who complain about their weight and who say "im trying to make better choices about what goes into my body so that I can lose weight" and then a few days later they talk about what they just binged on and how good it was (fried foods, stuff laden with butter and fats, etc.).
Ummm.. you really arent trying that hard.

I dont complain about my weight, because i know i have control over it. But i "try" to make better decisions, but butter and fats is oh soooo good! I definately have cut back recently though. Like i am trying not to have wine during the week anymore to help lose the last couple of pounds. I made it until wednesday. Whoops.

I'm going to get political here! I just found out that my library has 50 Shades of Grey but not A Farewell To Arms. This isn't how I want them to spend my tax dollars! Why wasn't I consulted about their book purchases?
Really, though, I was surprised that they have 50 Shades. Some kid probably had the Hemingway for summer school and forgot to return it. I want to reread it NOW though! I suppose I further confess that I am a nerd for not being satisfied with A Moveable Feast.

Ha, we will be twinsies and have our tummy tucks together. I've already started researching surgeons. I don't care if I'm vain, I've had laser treatments on my stretch marks and will have a tummy tuck. Too bad I'm dreaming of eating a Dunkin Donuts pumpkin muffin ATM!
My FFC: I posted a picture of the lot we are building on Facebook simply to make my SIL jealous. Her and my brother are total ahats and I know it'll rub her the wrong way. She's the one who demanded I call my brother because she was unhappy about who we chose to be C's god parents even though she ignored me the entire pregnancy. I have come to dislike her so much that DH and I won't be letting my brother/her know that we will be coming home for Christmas. At this point anything we can do to anger them is fun.
My other confession is when we decided to build we didn't let our relator know. We just stopped answering. He was really a jerk though and wouldn't leave us alone regardless of if we asked. I feel bad for not being more straight forward though.

This is so irrational but I'm pissed my husband doesn't make enough for me to be a SAHM. The poor man already works two jobs. I've been home the past 2.5 weeks for Andrew's surgery and recovery. I have to go back Monday and I think it's worse this time around than it was when he was 8 weeks old.
But I'm also pissed off at myself for my past mistakes regarding credit card debt and not finishing college I wish my photography business would take off full force and bring in enough money so that I wouldn't have to work 9-5 M-F anymore. At least I enjoy that...I no longer enjoy (because I used to) going into the office and billing Medicare claims for the local hospital anymore.
I've been sick with mastitis (but feel much better today!) so yesterday I stayed home from work and I wanted to sleep so badly, I put DD in her swing and took a nap on the couch. I woke up an hour later and she was still awake just looking around. I was hoping she would nap too. Maybe she did and we just woke at the same time!

Oh jacka02, how I love thee. Me too.
I love being a SAHM, it's such a great gift that DH gives me every day,especially because we wanted a child for so long. But I've been reading so many things, and then I read Ernie's blog about The Awakening, and it solidified that I need to get back to school for a M.A at least. I feel like I'm wasting away potential and getting stupider by each passing day. It's just not an option where we live to do what I want.
