Noone started FFFC?

My, I looked back and can't find a FFFC post. So I shall start. I don't have one but I'll start it anyway.

aforst · July 2009

I'm scared to have another baby. There are a few reasons why. First, after we got married, we quit TTA, if it happened, great! Well, it did and it was wonderful. The next time, it will be more planned. I kind of have a time frame I am wanting it to happen in (I realize this may not work out). So, I'm nervous that this time I will be "consciously" making the decision to get pregnant, rather than kind of being "surprised" by it. I'm also nervous about being pregnant again. Everything was fine w/ DS, until my water broke at 36 weeks (still not a huge deal). I did have the m/c in March, so now I'm more worried. I was so grateful to make it through my pregnancy w/ DS and have everything turn out great. I'm just nervous to do it again. I want to do it again, and will (God willing). I'm just glad we aren't trying until next year. I don't feel ready, but I feel like I'm getting closer.

Also, I switched BC pills from Yaz to LoEstrin b/c Yaz zapped my sex drive. So far, LoEstrin has not done this. I have been afraid to type this, I don't want to jinx myself!!

DH thinks he is being romantic and often wants to get in the shower with me at night. I HATE it! Our shower upstairs is small (in a standard bath tub). He hates hot water, so he makes it cooler, then one of us has to stand in the back and freeze. Awww, he means well, but it the shower is one of the few places I am ALONE and in PEACE and I don't want your big stinky body in there making me cold DH!

So lately, I lock the door and act like I did it by accident :-)

See my post below. My kid has chicken pox and I am leaving her tomorrow to go on a swanky business trip.

My DH always wants to shower w/ me too! I used to like it more before the baby. It's my "alone" time. I agree, I hate it b/c then I have to stand in the back and be cold.

I have a new peeve with people that say the year 2010 incorrectly.

People are saying "Twenty-Ten". No...it's NOT "Twenty-Ten". If it was, the year would look like this: 20. 10. (two different number sets)

It's 2,010 which is = Two Thousand Ten.?

Get it right, damn it!

DS does this too and it drives me nuts!! I actually get really pissed about it but keep it to myself of course. Now I will rush a shower just so he won't try to get in there with me. Which also makes me mad because I love my long hot showers.

My husband and I have been having this exact same conversation. Just out of curiosity, when it was 1998, did you say "Nineteen ninety eight" or did you say "One thousand nine hundred ninety eight"

This is exactly why we had 2 shower heads installed in our master bathroom. Since we've had this shower, we've been in it together maybe twice. Waste O Money and double to clean

See-- the 1900's are different. All of those pre-millenium years are said exactly like that: Nineteen ninety-nine (1999).

However, the 2000 years need to be said as "Two thousand nine" 2009.

Notice no one ever said "Twenty Nine" for 2009. They all said Two thousand nine. However, they did say "Nineteen Oh Nine" for 1909.?

That's my point, and I'm sticking to it! ; )?

Carifly · July 2009

A friend of mine told me that her husband has NEVER taken their 18-month old son out of the house by himself, and he doesn't even know how to buckle him into the car seat. I had already started to lose respect for him (he sleeps in until noon every weekend and doesn't help at all around the house or with their toddler), but now I really don't know how I am going to be able to hang out with them as a couple again.

Also, I am ridiculously addicted to buying Penny shoes. I thought I had it under control but I just bought her another pair, making it now 5 pairs of shoes she has in this size. I realize that this is totally absurd yet I still find myself surfing the web looking at shoes. At least I try to only buy them on sale, but still...

mlc92404 · July 2009

We are hosting a cookout for DH's family because they have been complaining they don't get to see DS very much so we thought this would be a good opportunity to get everyone together, have some fun and spend time with DS. Well...............dh's cousin and his wife are finding out the sex of their baby today so I KNOW that's pretty much all DH's family will be talking about Sunday and it really bothers me because the day is supposed to be about spending time with DS. I also am worried once this baby is here DS won't get as much attention from DH's family (just because that's how they are) and that just isn't fair to DS.

I think you're going to end up losing this battle, so be prepared to be hearing a lot of people saying Twenty Ten soon. It is programmed in our brains to be easier to split longer numbers into shorter segments. For instance, if you have a 4 digit house number (3603 say), most people are going to say Thirty Six Oh Three, not Three Thousand and Three.

lvisser · July 2009

I really wanna call muddy mud on a girl on 3rd tri. Kinda... If it is true (which is probably is...) then her husband is a douche bag. He cheated on her and yadda yadda.

Well, its all following the natural course a little too much.

Step One - Issues

Step Two - Man reaches out to lady friend at work

Step Three - Denies Sleeping with her

Step Four - Admits to sleeping with her

Step Five - UH OH - Now he has a STD... EDIT - MIGHT have a STD...

Thats where we are now.

I am so calling that on Step Six (in about two weeks) it will come out that she is pregnant since its clear that he did not use condoms if he has a STD.

Anyway... like I said... I really really feel for her if its true... really I do... but its all just a lil side eye to me.

mattnlinz03 · July 2009

It looks like we are going to be in the one and done club. I was on the fence if I wanted more kids and told DH the other day that I will only do it if I can work from home. I work for him and his family business right now and am on here all day because I have nothing to do at work. It kills me to have DS in DC when I am not doing anything at work. For some reason I am really upset about this and keep crying about it. Deep down I do want more kids just not in this situation.

racegirl723 · July 2009

I actually have a couple this week.

I was OOT for three days, 2 nights for a business trip earlier this week and I didn't feel one bit guilty about it. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and had a great time shopping in the evenings. While I missed DS and DH, I feel like people (friends & family) think missing them should have consumed me and it didn't. I had a great time.

I have to give our two week notice at daycare this afternoon and I am dreading it. DS' teacher is my friend's SIL so it feels extra personal and like I'm breaking up. I hate uncomfortable situations like this, but I know it will be over fast.

Tess12 · July 2009

First of all--I can't imagine getting upset about twenty-ten, it's verbal shorthand. Big deal if it's not 100% accurate. Get over it.

My confession: I hate, hate, hate the 1st tri board. It is so annoying. Daily, I want to post the "Pregnant Women Are Smug" video, but I don't because I'm not a troublemaker. I think I just need to stop going over there.

trigirl30 · July 2009

The 2ww is killing me. I was never this obsessed about getting pregnant the first time around. I just need to let nature take it's course. I'm already planning to pee on a stick tomorrow DPO 10, which is dumb. I should wait another week...

this. i have desperately been clinging to the the "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all" regarding that, b/c really, it's not hurting anybody, it's just, as you say "farking ridiculous"

so i'll revise my policy to say "if you don't have anything nice to say, come sit by me and Mrs.totty". Devil

If you aren't busy, can you condense your schedule, so DS isn't in daycare as often? That would be frustrating!

Temp174496125006552 · July 2009

Since we're on the subject of showering w/ your hubby, here's mine.

I actually like it when DH climbs into the shower with me. I think being all wet and soapy and kissing is hot. He also washes and conditions my hair and I find that a turn on. However, inevitably, he wants to have sex while we're in there. I hate shower sex. Hate it! It's awkward because we're standing up and on a slippery surface and because of the angles that we're at, it just doesn't feel good to me. Maybe I'm boring, but I prefer regular old in the bedroom sex.

MrsHK · July 2009

I have two that actually remembered this time.

One, I am annoyed by the moms who complain that their DH goes out all the time and they never get girl time out. There are some warranted cases, but for the most part get it together and go out. Don't come complaining and then say nothing to your DH. Do something.

Two, I am annoyed by my out of work friends who are both posting on FB how excited they are that it's Friday. Ya, I get that job searching, etc can be hard, but I haven't been home all d@mn week. Seriously, we've left for work in the morning and not been home until it's time to put DS to bed.

Ok, I'll add a third after that though. I have dirty dishes that have been sitting in my sink since Sunday, maybe Monday. After I put DS to bed at night cleaning them up is NOT my priority. I am caught up on laundry though. And I'm just happy I kept DS up long enough to bathe last night.

Yes, just skip over to 2nd tri. I hope I'm not on my been-there-done-that high horse, but I'm just not into the tri boards this time around. Particularly, 1st tri, maybe BSC people there. All of whom blame the hormones and act breakable because they're pregnant.

gatogrrl · July 2009

I love that FFFCs dont' start at 12:01 am like they do on the 6-12 board.

My confession is that, while I consider myself a risk-taker, and have done many unconventional things in life, this doesn't mean I'm brave. Evidence: we need to buy a house, and I am totally stalling about it. I think I'm just a big ol' chicken about making this commitment. But I'm 40 years old and have never owned a home -- lame!

It's completely stupid, though. We live in university housing that is tiny and falling apart. The housing market is great, the interest rate on our pre-approved loan is amazing, and we'd get that $8K tax credit. Somebody needs to shame me into just doing it already.

I totally agree! I'm too easily distracted, not terribly coordinated, and need to have as many arms and legs on a solid surface as possible.

Seriously, they make me want to scream.

Between the frantic "can I eat this?" questions and the hyper-sensitive, "someone didn't react to my news exactly how I wanted them to" rants, it's enough to drive anyone crazy.

There was a post about whether or not to have the baby in a bassinet in the parents' room in the beginning or start out right in the crib. One woman responded that she was going to start out in the crib because she watched a show where this woman started the baby in a bassinet and then at nine years old, the kid was still sleeping in the mom's bed. Hmm...there's some logical reasoning for you.

Re: Showers/sex

I completely miss the shower we had at our apartment in Pittsburgh. It was huge and had lots and lots of room for shower-time naughtiness.

Now we have a shower downstairs, and even if it wasn't like having sex in Superman's phone both, I'd still be unenthusiastic because it's the shower my FIL uses. Skeevy.

And my upstairs bathroom has lovely big tub, and a hand-held shower. It's my favorite place in my house, but not exactly a place for impromptu showering fun.

thomas&lynn · July 2009

I am so happy to hear 20.10 is an option, it sounds so much better to me than what I had in my brain lately................The tens. Yup. Or the Two thousand tens. WTF is wrong with me???!

I just realized today that I have had the very same crib sheet on A's crib that she's had in there 2mos before she was born. I only have the one and have never taken it off as I just cover it with the Ultimate Crib Sheets anyway. I can not imagine having to pry that thing off each time to wash and change!!

I changed a diaper full of little pellets 2 days ago and when folding up the diaper one of them popped out and roller behind the chest. The chest we use is a beast and incredibly hard to move. And we're moving tomorrow anyway. So, yeah, I left it there I'll see it for sure tomorrrow........

I'm moving into a home tomorrow (we're renting) that has a marroon master bedroom. Yeah, not just one cool statement wall, the whole fracking thing. It seriously stresses me out because I'm the one who'll have to paint it if I can't live with it and I just don't know when I'll fit that in now. So I either have to learn to love dark red or learn to paint and deal wtih MH's "how much did *that* cost? bullcrap" (because he rather likes it, the weirdo).

Josie22 · July 2009

I haven't wanted much to do with my DS or DH today. I've snapped on my poor DH like 15 times. I've started breaking down like 5 times. I'm just not taking my grandma's passing well. At least I made myself eat something.... All I feel like doing is playing with photoshop and nesting..
