  • Fine- I can start too! Whenever anyone tells me how excited they are for th weekend I agree because I love spending 2 days with DD but I'm also a little nostalgically sad for my days of sleeping-in on Saturdays/Sundays. One day we will all sleep again...
  • I put this up because 12-24 reminded me that we didn't have a thread going yet and I guess it isn't that exciting this morning for 6-12 LOL!

  • I really should start sleep training, but I'm not ready to stop rocking my son to sleep. 

    Although I'm not against co-sleeping (and do it often), I don't like having DS sleep in our bed at night because I like being able to snuggle with DH until I'm asleep.. 

  • We are shipping E off to my parents next weekend (friday-sunday) and I'm so excited!  I'm going to get a ton of stuff done around the house and SLEEP IN!  I will, of course, miss him like crazy but H and I need some time....and the Gparents need some quality time with E.

    I do not feel the slightest bit guilty

     

  • I feel like an ungrateful person.  When I was a SAHM with DS I hated it and now that I work full time I wish I could be a SAHM every day.  I could be a SAHM if I really wanted but I know I wouldn't be happy being at home 24/7 either.  Am I ungrateful or what?!!

  • I have nothing planned for Nic's 1st birthday and the party is next weekend!!  The bad part is that it is going to be OOT and I don't have the food ordered, the party supplies ordered, or the gift bags done. It is going to be really busy next week. 
  • I have two.

    1.  I hate-hate-hate the cheap, ugly clothes MIL sends DD.  She never wears them.  Never.  I've packed them away, but no future children will wear them, either.  I know I should appreciate the thought, but they're just so thin and flimsy and ugly.

    2.  Part of why I'm considering pumping >12 mo. is because I can eat whatever I want and not gain weight.  It's like being 20 again.

    I know what you mean...I don't you are ungrateful.  The ideal situation would be working part time and being a part time SAHM. 

  • I'm glad we're getting a snow storm this weekend because MIL was planning on coming this weekend.  Not that I mind her spending time with the boys, she just drives me nuts.  She sucks their faces off with kisses and sings these freaking annoying songs the entire time she's here.  Plus, they're sick right now and she never lets them relax when they don't feel well.

    So we'll have a nice 2 days with just the 4 of us snowed in.  I can't wait!

    LOL...I think BF has helped me stay in a healthy weight. But I LOATHE the pump!  So at the one year mark, I will be throwing myself a party!!

  • I tried to get dh to have unprotected sex with me last night becasuse I want to get pregnant. Big fat fail- he said "no glove, no love" I intend to liquor him up and try again sometime soon. :)
  • Alright, what the heck...I'm a bad person:

    The other day DS was giving me a heck of a time and I was really starting to get upset.  I decided that we needed to get out of the house, a change of scenery if you will.  Secretly though, I was hoping strangers would remind me how amazing my child is by telling me they think he's cute.  And it worked :)

  • I spontaneously decided to initiate sex last night and it was a big fat fail.

    Note to self: If FI is playing a computer game, don't bother. By the time he finished his level, saved, exited the game, shut down his computer, I was asleep.

  • When I was in college, all of my friends and I went to this big party weekend in another city.  When the bars closed everyone wanted to go to this after hours dance club.  I however did not want to wait in line, so I called the club pretending to be my agent telling them that "Pumpkin" would be showing up soon.. Then when I got there, I started signing autographs and people let me right in..

    That's funny and all, but here's my confession.. I was so tanked that I was dancing a bunch and I got hot so I stepped out this door that I assumed led to a lovely deck.. nope.  An alley.  And I was locked out. 

    I was too embarrassed to attempt the whole stunt again so I got a cab back to our hotel.
  • This is a ridiculous but maybe if I write it out I can get these thoughts out of my mind once and for all.  I sometimes feel like I cursed my family when I got pregnant with ds.  Within a few weeks of my bfp my parent's (the family) dog died and then two weeks after that my aunt passed away from liver failure (sudden and unexpected).  On the day of my big u/s my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer.  She passed away only two months later with me, my mom and two of my aunts at her bedside.  Several days after that my cat, that I got for 8th grade graduation, had to be put to sleep.  A few hours after ds was born we got a call in the hospital that dh's grandfather had passed away from a heart attack while he was out to lunch to celebrate ds's birth.

    I know I didn't cause any of these things to happen and ds didn't suck the life out of everyone that we know and love, but I can't help feeling this way once in a while.  Ever since I getting a bfp on Monday I find myself wondering who is going to die on me next.  See, I told you this was ridiculous.

  • I have a confession that I have been thinking about for a long time but am scared to get flamed. But what the heck, I don't care anymore. I hate all Gymboree clothes. 
  • Once DD was asleep last night, DH and I stayed up until 1:30 in the morning watching our downloaded collection of The Office. Now we are pissed at ourselves for being so stupid. Oh well, it was worth it for that show.

  • DH's ex sent me an email and instead of being the bigger person and ignoring her I stooped down to a low level and ripped her to shreds. I gave into the BS and now I'm immature. I hate to say it, I enjoyed going off on her. I tell myself it's not so bad since I spoke the truth.Embarrassed

  • I have two:

    1.  I totally judged another mom at the hospital yesterday.  We were both there to get u/s done for our LOs. Her son is 9 months old.  His fingernails were filthy.  Every single nail had black stuff underneath.  Now, if we were out in the park or something then fine.  Kids get dirty, I get that.  But they were there for an appointment.  I kept thinking to myself, you couldn't give him a quick bath before bringing him here (it was early, 8am) or at least pick the dirt off of his fingers? Maybe it's just me but I'm really anal about making sure DD is clean and smells good before we take her out in public, especially to a doctor's office.

    2.  My FIL is obsessed with my DD.  The obsession is unhealthy and it makes me uncomfortable.  She got a stomach virus and I gave him and MIL specific instruction to just leave DD in her PNP playing/sleeping and not to handle her so much because the virus is contagious and I didn't want them to get sick.  I told them that kissing her a lot could get them sick as well.  FIL didn't listen and spent the entire day kissing her, holding her, and letting her sleep on his chest.

    The next day he had the runs and is still not feeling better.  I said to myself "good, that's what you get." But then made up for the thought by getting him some medicine.  But seriously, good that's what he gets.

    Fred- he knows my intentions so he won't do anything he doesn't want to do. (I realize I made it sound as if I am attempting to trick him and that isn't what I intended for it to sound like.) Besides he doesn't really drink ;-)

    British or American? Either way, I personally think it's time well spent. They're hilarious!

  • I am actually happier and have better days with Eleanor when my DH is working. I am always excited to see him when he gets home from work, and our evenings together are great, but he drives me BSC when he is home with me all day.

    American for now, but when we're caught up, I fully intend to watch the British version. That show is addictive.

    I find the British version to be the best out of the two. I love british humor!

  • This is so stupid, but, I get a little angry at DH when he tries to give his dad credit for DS's blue eyes. (both our fathers have/had blue eyes, ours are hazel-ish and DS has bright blue eyes). My dad passed away when I was 16 and I guess I think that if I see some of him in DS, then I'm seeing him again. God, I'm tearing up as I type this.

    Have you told him how you feel? I'm sure it's probably just because he knows his dad, and maybe he never met yours I hope that you will talk to him about it. From that point on, if someone says something about his eyes, just comment that both grandpas have blue eyes!

  • Marco's been crying for 28 minutes now, and I'm bumping.  He needs a nap and I don't care if it takes 228 minutes!  I'm still checking on him every 10 minutes or so.  He's PISSED! 
  • I sometimes wish I would break an arm so I can have the help promised to me when I had LO's. H & I are so tired and really need a break. MIL always wants to help, but she can't even hold LO's, they weigh too much for her to hold because of her hands (she had surgery done on her arm for carpal tunnel). My mom works and helps when she can.

    This has to be MUD.  I fail to see how this is even possible.  j/k Smile

    My confession sounds kinda stupid, but DH is going to be pissed.  I put DD in a cute new outfit that consists of black leggings and an off-white shirt with black embroidery.  DH is going to be pissed because he doesn't think little girls should wear black, ever.  His whole family is like that.  When I first found out we were having a girl I bought this cute black/pink/white dress and DH went crazy.  I couldn't return it, but I couldn't put her in it either.  The dress was never worn.  Today the black and off-white outfit was all that I had that matched.  I got her ready and dropped her at daycare - he had already left for the day...

  • Sometimes I hate myself for having PPD because I missed out on so many little things I should have cherished ever since D was born, but was too depressed and anxious to relax and really soak things in. Now he's getting so big and I feel sad thinking back to times when I should have held him a little longer, or played with him a little more but was so down all I wanted to do was cry. I feel like a failure as a mom. I'm promising myself that if I have signs of PPD with my next LO, I will get help sooner than I did this time :(

    Thanks to you and Pumpkin. I've just started saying he has grandpa's eye's without going into specifics. I haven't mentioned it to DH because I kinda feel silly for feeling angry about it, but you're probably right, he never did meet my dad, and it's hard to see his eye color in the pictures I have, so DH doesn't know that the color is more like my dad's than his. DS just looks so much like DH in other areas, I kinda want this to be from my family, I guess.
