'You call it' Friday? FFFCs, UOs, vents.....

stepper1725

your choice ladies!

bring all your gripes, vents, confessions to the table : )

 I can't begin to describe my disgust at the a**hats in Washington. There are no words.

We had a conference call yesterday and two of our remote work from home employees had children crying in the background. Get childcare while you're working from home. If you cannot get childcare, for pete's sake use the mute button on your phone!

 FFFC: I just got tickets to the Jay-Z & JT concert. I am shamelessly trying to recapture my youth. The upside is I'm old enough not to care if people judge me for this

What've you got?

I think my current doctor is an idiot. I've never used my husband's insurance until now. He's ad military, so we have Tricare. Anyways, I've had hypothyroidism forever. I get my levels tested annually. I've never had to fast for these tests. She told me to fast. It's this morning, and I've decided I'm not fasting. I'm enjoying a cup of coffee WITH cream and sugar.

I seriously cannot believe people want government ran healthcare. We get treated like welfare recipients.

I am finding it increasingly difficult to find the energy to maintain my friendships. I haven't seen some of my friends in months and they live in the same town. I just don't seem to care anymore. I hate stupid "girls nights" and that kind of junk.

FFFC: I have tickets to NKOTB with BoyzIIMen and 98 Degrees in June. I'm psyched! What's worse? I went 2 years ago when they were touring with Backstreet Boys.

That is awesome!

TTC is driving me kooky. I almost feel like I need to step away from it.

I am still nursing and pumping at work so I am constantly obsessing about the balance between pumping too much at work and possibly affecting my fertility. If I pump less, but then I am not making enough and I have to dip into my freezer stash. If I pump more, I worry about having a short luteal phase. Ugh!!!! I am so ready to be done pumping.

Then, my work travel schedule is gearing up in the spring so I feel extra pressure to get koed before that, so i dont have to deal w possibly travelling during the fertile window.

Finally, I feel all this worry and pressure bc I am getting "old" and don't want to end up conceiving a "ball of fingers" as tina fey puts it.

Somehow I have to stop obsessing and realize its in gods hands, not mine... No matter how hard I try to control everything!!!

Any tips?

I feel like this a lot too. We are waiting to TTC for #2 until 2014 and in my head I keep doing the math of "How close will I be to 35 if I get pg in (Insert month here)" in the end I have no control and 35 means nothing really. I made it all up in my head and I over think it WAYYY too much.

I hate that we are expected to commute 2 hours every weekend to visit my in laws. I understand the importance of family and grandparents but every weekend for no occasion at all?? That's already one whole day of our already short weekend.

I hate when people use terms like adorbs, obvs, and amaze balls. Ugh, I shudder just typing them. It makes me want to slap the shiit out of someone!!

Wow you are def making me feel old! Kidding, but I'm 36 and would be 37 at delivery, so the closer I get to 40 the more nervous I feel. IMO less than 35 youre golden!

Stepper, we use the clear blue easy ovulation monitor so I know I ovulated this mo and our timing was good... I'm in the 2ww now. I am just worried about the luteal phase bc of the nursing and my cycles had been short last year. We'll see! Fingers crossed. I have to just let it go and stop worrying.

I'm in the 2ww and DH doesn't want me to POAS...  but... I'm thinking I might go buy one secretly and do it without telling him. I know it's horrible but c'mon!!

FFFC: I got my bfp 10 days ago.  I have taken 1 (or more) hpt every day since.  They all keep saying the same thing but for some reason I keep taking them.

Congratulations!!!!! How exciting! I am the same way about obsessively poas too much at the beginning.

Pp, I would def get a test and secretly test... Nothing wrong w that and if it's positive you can secretly suprise him! I plan on buying LO a 'big sister' onesie and asking dh to change her clothes when I am lucky enough to get a bfp.... If I can keep the secret all day, of course!

Went to my doctor on Thursday for continued weight loss while breast feeding.  We checked a bunch of labs and then talked about things to do if my labs are fine.  Boost shakes.  Protein powder.  Avocados.  Weaning breast feeding... wait, hold up.  NO!  My baby isn't even 9 months old yet.  I want to make it a year.  I will eat until I am blue in the face, but I am not planning on weaning early.  This shouldn't have hit me so hard, but it wasn't even on my radar.  He's even a D.O. 

 Weaning at 12 months may be harder than I thought, but I hate the pump!
