Confession Friday

I confess it's super fun coming out at work with a lesbian pregnancy.

Coworker:  "So, was the baby planned?  Oh, wait, yeah, I guess it was.  It kind of had to be, huh?"

Also, most people expect me to be the pregnant one, because I'm the femme and my partner is butch.  Surprise!

I'd be so tempted to say "nope, not planned at all, total surprise!"

I'm normally an a!!hole but now people just accept it because I'm pregnant, lol.

The first time I saw the commercial for the last season of Jersey Shore, it made me cry! 

This is incredibly embarrassing.  I totally blame it on this baby.  I couldn't even tell you what came over me.

Another one, I think it's weird when couples share a FB page.  "ChrisandJenny Smith" or whatever.  Insecure much?  And then you never know who is the one posting/commenting etc. and it's just odd.

I hate this! You are your own person you don't need to share! If one or the other spouse doesn't have/use a facebook they don't need to be tied onto yours.. Ugh  

I hate this.  I feel like there are some major trust issues in the relationship if you have to share your FB page with your SO.

I give a side eye to people who register at more than three places for their baby/wedding.  I feel like this is very gift grabby.

I'm friends with a few people who have this...  I hate it beacuse I never know who is posting the status... and I'm friends with the guy in both relationships, so sometimes I forget their wives have access to post status' and when I read "Sitting at home enjoying a glass of wine and giving myself a pedi" I cringe for a second.

It's not like FB pages cost money.

I cry at the Verizon commercial with the kid doing his tuba performance.  I just love that the dad is able to see it because of the hot spot. It's makes me tear up every time.

Last time it was the Traveller's Insurance commercials with the dog hiding the bone.  I was a waterfall every time it came on.  DH could sing "trouble, trouble trouble trouble trouble" and I would burst into tears.

H thinks it's hilarious when he catches me crying at something stupid.  I yell at him every time.  When we watch TV, I will catch him looking at me out of the corner of his eye to see it I am teary.

Also, at least those commercials are a bit more touching!

Is this flame-free? If so, I would add that, just to be safe

Never. Mwahahahaha.

My confession: DH and I haven't had sex since we concieved. I feel fine, no m/s, just tired and no desire. None. I want to for DH, but I could live without sex for the next year if I had to. I have no idea how to get back into it. First off, because ... I don't really want to, but I have to for DH. Poor guy.

I feel the exact. same. way.  I really could go without for my entire pregnancy.

I ate fast food on 3 separate occasions yesterday. I really need to go grocery shopping...

But did you differentiate? I ate Subway for dinner Wednesday night, breakfast yesterday morning and because they have their BOGO on 6", I got a 6" for lunch yesterday too.  

I had 5 Guys for lunch, Wendy's for dinner, and Chicfila for an evening snack:

A girl in my office had her's joint with her husband's because when they had separate accounts "someone hacked into his account and was talking to random girls". I seriously feel back for her because she's so dumb.

Poor girl.  My cousin and his wife share an account.  They are high school sweethearts.  During the high school/college years they had a rough relationship filled with cheating and other trust issues.  They've been married for five years now but she doesn't allow him off his leash.  At one point he was a catch, but now he's just a very whipped husband IMO.  I'm pretty sure the only reason they have a joint account is so she can monitor who he interacts with.

Pretty much every dish in the house is dirty and I am...hanging out on the Bump all day. Sigh. No motivation to do anything around the house whatsoever, even though I am not so tired anymore either.

I cry at the Dawn commercial with the baby ducklings. They are just so small and why do they have to be covered in oil. It's so sad. Chopped and the Dawn commercial made me cry last night. I couldn't even help it. It's pathetic. lol

MH and I have actually had more sex than usual since becoming pregnant.  Also it's kind of nice not to have one week every month where sex is off limits

Late to the party. Sick preschooler. **sigh**

 

My confession is that said preschooler often makes me cry in the bathroom. She is slightly delayed (IUGR, late prematurity) and hyperactive (diagnosed), with possible oppositional defiant disorder. She also has benign epilepsy, so she has problems going to and staying asleep at night.I am often still awake at 2am, making sure she doesn't do anything to harm herself or break anything.

I love her so much, but there are days where I just have to walk away for a few minutes. I knew having a difficult child would be a possibility-- DH had behavioral issues as a kid, and both of her uncles (both sides) STILL do. When she is having "good days," she is the most loving and vibrant little girl I've met. I don't want to medicate her, just yet, because I'm afraid the meds will take away the good parts of her personality.

I keep telling myself this next LO will either be more of the same (I know how to handle) or easier. **deeps breaths**

I bawled when I saw the commercial for the farewell season of The Office. Its also normal for me to cry at least once during every episode of The X Factor.

I am sending you major hugs! That has to be tough to handle some days. Cry when you need to and know that you're a great mom.  

 

Thanks. I think the most difficult part of it is the judgy stares and snide comments from strangers and other moms.They just see a screaming kid and assume I'm an ineffective parent.

This is precisely why we should try harder not to judge other parents (especially ones we don't know). You don't know their life, their kids, their situation. I give major props to you for parenting the best you know how and keeping her off "unnecessary" medication. I put that in quotes because I firmly believe many parents take the easy route and pump their kid full of Ritalin (or the like). That is not to say that sometimes it is not medically necessary - because it can be - but not as often as I think it gets handed out. You're a great mom if you're doing the best you can and watching for changes that may signal new needs. KUDOS!

I'm super late to the confession party here but your reply brought tears to my eyes : (     I really don't have much to say but that I'm sorry for you. And I'm not crying only because of your struggles but also because of the nice things you said about your child!
