I can't wait. I have some.?

Re: **Saturday Evening Confessions**
* When people say to me "wow you look great." I always wonder what the heck I looked like before.?
?
**I am still in shock that dd STTN last night.
**I am hurt that my friend did not ask me to be a bridesmaid. I was ok with it at first because I thought it was just her sisters and her bff, but then at her shower today I saw another friend she asked and was hurt that she was asked and not me.
**I am now realizing how much my m/c ruined my friendships. I isolated myself after them both, particularly after losing Ava and I think I grew apart from my friends. Maybe they werent great friends to begin with?
**The tree we planted for Ava is in full bloom. It makes me smile every time I look at it.
* Someone said dd looked like my mil and I was really angry. My kid is beautiful & I don't think mil is a very pretty woman.
*?The lady doing the readings in church today says at the beginning "please do not come up for communion if you have not received your 1st holy communion. That would be more sacreligious (sp?) than you being here". ?WTH is that? How do you say that???
* Now that TLC has pitchmen on, I find that Billy Mays & Sully are more annoying than ever.?
?

*my jogging stroller came today. I haven't been this excited about an object in a very long time.
*Dh is working tomorrow. I'm a little irritated by it.
*I'm stuck at my current weight. I can't wait to start running on a regular basis again.
~I have been stuck at work since 2:30 this afternoon..I am about to scream..I have a pt coming back at 10pm so who knows what time i will be getting to leave...If one more pt comes printing out of that printer i may start screaming
~I have an u/s Wed to see how thick my lining is..My RE says if it is 8mm or above then we can start ttc next month!!!!! I can't help but shake the feeling that it isn't going to go well...
I've been thinking about you. I'm going to pray that your lining is way under 8! Please let us know.
i am so happy to see you around. i'll be thinking of you on wednesday! please keep us posted.
It's been about a month since the last time dh and I had sex and I am super annoyed with this fact. It's not for lack of want/trying on my part... he is just coming up with a bunch of reasons why not.... like right now he's eating ice cream and it'll give him too much heartburn to be "good" later on.
It's really starting to become personal to me.... I don't know how to approach him about it either.. .very touchy subject....
* hadley refused to settle with mr. soup tonight. she only wanted me. she would scream and cry when he was holding her and the moment i took her from him she stopped. i kept telling him it was a fluke, though i'm not sure it really is.
* we are going to put her in her pnp (in our room) without the carseat tonight. we've swaddled her and will use the sleep positioner. i'm so nervous it won't go well.
* mr. soup has been hinting about transitioning hadley to her room/crib. when she wasn't STTN, i told him i wouldn't transition her because it would be an inconvenience for me to get up and go to her to nurse her. now that she is STTN, i need to find another excuse. i really just am not ready to have her away from me at night. i know it's my own hangup and i need to get over it sooner or later, but i'm aiming for later.
I'm SO jealous she's STTN
ugh... May... I think I hate you right now b/c Cuppa: sttn!
I wouldn't know what to do w/ myself if Jakie sttn... he finally went to bed last night at 9pm.... even though I started the process at 7:30pm... then woke up at 11:45pm, 1am, 2am, 4am, 6am and then 7:30am for the day... not a fun night at all. I try to ignore him, placate him, put paci back in, rub his face/back/arms NOTHING works except the boob.
DD still sleeps in our BED lol. I am soo, soo not ready to put her in her own room and it's literally 2 feet away. We came home from the hospital saying "she's going in her crib tonight!" but that didn't work. So we said 3 months and we still weren't ready. Then we said 6 months..and well. Now we're saying 1 year. We'll see!! Anyway trying to say..don't it until you're ready! I love having DD close to me at night..I don't think I would sleep if she were in her own room.

My husband loves that show! lol
we have quite a few finds who are Catholic (we are Baptist) so we've been to quite a few weddings and events at Catholic churches. That seems to be thrown in our face quite often. Really shocking sometimes.
*I pretty much just ate an entire box of thin mints
*DD is a terrible sleeper. It takes her like 45minutes to wind down She's too busy crawling to lay down. ugh. And don't even get me started on night wakings.
*I am seriously mistrusting of people. Like I don't answer the door if DH isn't home. If I am taking DD for a walk in her stroller I am constantly checking to make sure I'm not being followed. I do this at grocery stores and the library too. If I am walking to my car at night [from the store, ect..] I keep a pocketknife in my hand with the blade out. I think I am overly anxious. We also keep a gun in the house, unloaded but with a full clip nearby. Also these are the only people allowed to watch DD: me, DH, MIL, FIL, and both of my parents. I don't trust a single other person. I'm afraid that if someone who watches her doesn't love her like all of us do, they might hurt her if she's being frustrating, or crying a lot. I'm also seriously afraid of DD being sexually abused [I think 1 in 4 woman and 1 in 5 men are].
I think I have issues. Nothing bad has ever happened to me but I know WAY, WAY too many of my friends who have been hurt as children.

** I really don't want to go back to work in two weeks. Mainly because of being with DS 24/7 but also being able to nurse DS on-demand. I'm so afraid of my supply dropping or something going wrong. I wish I could work from home
** I wish sex felt better by now but it still sorta burns... is something wrong wih me?
** Sometimes I ignore my dogs' needs and feel so bad about it because of how much we doted on them before DS. My husky doesn't mind too much but my coonhound looks at me like I'm hurting him
* i am having major anxiety over something happening to hadley. i really need to resolve my guilt over her birth soon otherwise i am going to need to move into a bubble with her.
* i still haven't had sex. it's been a LONG time. i actually showered this morning and shaved thinking maybe i'd give in tonight but i'm so not in the mood. sigh.
Sounds like my last 2 nights, except substitute a bottle and/or rocking him in his old "colic hold" for "the boob". Sigh.
* I am so freaking tired. Leo has regressed to waking up a ton of times during the night and not going back too easily. Not that we were close to STTN (or at least in the way that most babies on this board STTN- we were getting 4-5 hour stretches which was like a miracle) but this is just so discouraging.
* I was with a friend who complains about her kid's sleep habits and this kid STTN for the first few months, had a few rough months, and now sleeps 12 hours a night and she still complains. This makes me like her a lot less.
* I am having, for the first time in over a year, a gin and tonic. I made it perfectly, and it tastes so g'damn good that it is taking all my willpower not to gulp it. I am so tempted to have another one, b/fing be damned
* It's only been a few nights and I am already pretty darn sick of the "45 sleep interuptor" going on with Henry. Tonight we even dragged the swing into his room and set him up in there and he STILL woke up after 45 minutes and wanted the boob. I guess I shouldn't complain though..we've been pretty lucky so far and Hope is still a terrific sleeper.
* Actually I shouldn't be complaining period. I have a good friend whose baby is still in NICU at 7 weeks, and she would LOVE to have her baby home with her and keeping her up nights.
* I eat way too much. No wonder I still haven't lost these last 8 lbs. Oink.
*I'm terrified that I will screw my LO up terribly.
*My kid farts like a champ during the day and screams with gas pains all evening.
*I laugh every time DS spits up, pees, and poops on DH. The little guy rarely gets me with the goo but DH gets hit a lot...I find this quite hilarious.
Noooo!! Now I feel bad for talking about not sleeping, b/c that totally wasn't meant to make you feel guilty...omgomgomg...May!! I love you and I am really, really happy for you that Hadley is sleeping well. You have been through enough with her- you deserve a little break. I'm so sorry. Seriously, the lack of sleep can mess with you and make you a bitter, stupid cow. I promise you that I came on to complain about Leo's sucky sleeping anyway and it had NOTHING to do with your post! Don't feel bad; please don't feel bad...
(::goes and smacks head against wall for making her beloved friend feel bad...:: )
I laugh my ASS off when DH gets spit up on. I get spit up on a lot too, which isn't as funny.
Have you tried Mylicon yet, btw?
Skat, yes we have. Doesn't work so well for him. I say this as a very tired and fussy babe cries in DH's arms. He does well during the day but I swear his tummy has an aversion to the 10pm news. The gas pains seem to kick up right at bedtime. Next up Gripe Water but I want to check with the pedi first to make sure he thinks its ok to give to him. I feel so bad when he is in so much pain. Just about breaks my heart.
But yes I must admit to getting cheap thrills out of DH's misfortune. Today DH put a freebie Huggies diaper on DS and the babe peed right through the front of the diaper and on DH's shirt (never using a huggies again I must say) Freaking Hilarious.
I know your pain, Jess. We have an appt with a gastroenterologist next week for Henry to try and figure out how we can help him with his gas and reflux.
