I'm tired of seeing the

thread!

Good gravy pick a winner already!!!!

OMG I agree!!! Plus, the more people that reply, the smaller the chance of my winning becomes. Boo.

I thought I could possibly be pregnant this week.

and it terrified me. Down to practically having hives. While Nate & I would celebrate the life created, we simply cannot afford another one due to daycare costs. We can't afford for me to stay home & we can't afford 2 daycare tuitions. Simple as that.

I was throwing up constantly but otherwise felt perfectly fine (just like both pregnancies), my period was several days "late," but I was on Nuva Ring AND we used condoms. So the chances of me being knocked up were so slim.

and then I felt even worse because if I got pregnant on both birth control & condoms, I would want to crawl in a hole & die when so many of my friends struggle to get pregnant.

it's not even flamable. But I needed to get it out & didn't know where else to post it.

Cheap people suck. I'm not talking about people with financial problems who need to be frugal. I am talking about people who seem to be doing fine financially (nice house, eat meals out, nice cars), who volunteer to host a baby shower for a friend, and then who are too chintzy to spend even $50 or $75 to make it a nice event.

another reason we don't talk to my MIL. Crazy lady* buys her house ca$h. Yet she can't seem to spend $20 on a gift certificate for LO. Another reason we gave her the boot.

Yes, it's all about priorities. How people spend their money is an indication of what is important to them. Can't believe she bought her house straight out! That is bizarre unless you are crazy wealthy!

You know alot of people think it's awesome that where I live has alot of SAHMs. I read an article somewhere that for us in particular it is not a sign of affluence. Rather, the childcare costs are astronomical compared to the average income. When you have that 2nd kid - all hell breaks loose financially and it makes more sense for someone to to stay home.

I wish my daughter had more hair. I have all kinds of bows for her, and she is mostly bald. I know this is totally stupid, and I am in love with her and happy that she is healthy, but still, I get sick of people saying 'he' is cute, when she is in pink or purple most days.

*butting in*

Same here WTYM. If we were to have another, there would be no point in me finishing my degree until the kids were in school. $1600+ a month is outrageous.

Also, I regularly daydream about winning the lottery, and on what exactly I would do with the money.

OMG that is awful. We are in the same boat, absolutely could not afford to have another baby. We can't afford for one of us to stay home, and couldn't swing two daycare tuitions either. We would be in big trouble, that's why I'm praying my IUD and the condoms work!

Can you imagine though getting pregnant using 2 forms of birth control? Not only is it a slap in the face to those struggling with infertility, but how can you ever have sex again without worrying? Ugh, let's hope we don't ever have to deal with that!

Glad it turned out ok for you!

I am mildly convinced that we live very, very near to each other & if we do, did you know that we are #6 in the country for most expensive daycare in relation to income level??

At this point, Harrison won't get a sibling until Nate doubles his income or a grandparent retires or he goes to kindergarten.

the amount of time it takes to figure out AE's, drag up old posts, call people out, think about witty, snarky comebacks- way too much people.
and the amount of ass kissing in the hopes that a "popular" bumpie will 'like" you- good Lord. it's not that important.

Seriously, what would you do if you got KTFU on TWO forms of birth control?!

die. that's what you'd do.

I literally sat on the floor of the tub & cried the other night out of fear.

I think people who hate on Valentine's Day and on people who celebrate it are lame. The whole "I don't need a holiday to express how I feel and do something special" crap is old. We don't need a holiday to do that either but it's fun. Get over it.

Hilarious! I get being down on V-day when you're single, because that does suck. But it never hurts to show your love for SO... and yes, you can do that on Feb. 13th or 15th too!

If you're referring to me, someone pm'd me and told me Abby was C_Mommy... I def would never make the connection otherwise.

nah- just in general. i have no idea who c_mommy or abby even is- that's how much i can't keep up with all that crap.

PoetSorrow · February 2010

A crime scene Blair? Now I will never be able to think about a monthly period the same way again... seriously.

I'm so terrified of getting pregnant again, that I told DH that we won't have sex until he has a vasectomy. He hasn't made the effort. It's going on 7-8 months now with no sex. And I could not care less. The ball is in his court..literally lol

Ha! I just realized that her pics all have hats. I only put them on her for the 'monthiversary' pictures, since my mom knits so many hats for her, and I want pictures of her in them:). On the upside, what little hair there is is turning red, so that makes me happy. I just wish people would stop calling her a boy.

This is what my Mother is like!! My parents are doing fine financially, but my Mother always has to go on about how they're cutting back on Christmas this year because they have bills to pay, or some other excuse. Or one time when she was coming up for a visit, and I called her on her way here and asked her to pick up some diapers for DD because DH was at work and I thought we might run out before he got home... when she got to my house she asked for the money for them! Seriously, they bought DD 2 Christmas gifts!! Now I know it's not about the gifts and all that, and I'm really not materialistic or anything but she is the only grandchild on both sides and I guess I just expected more. A month before Christmas they gave my brother $500 to put snow tires on his car!! WTF??! And they will not ask him to pay it back. My brother is not that hard up for money, but my parents cater to him and give him whatever he wants... and it REALLY BOTHERS ME!! No matter how many times I talk to her about it, she just denies it and says it's just because he lives closer (we live 2 hours away, brother lives in the same town) and if we lived closer she would do the same... HA!! She does not like my DH so I highly doubt it. I hate that things are so strained with us, but I don't know how to fix them!! *sigh*

jackie.couturier · February 2010

When I worked I embodied all the resume cliches: hardworking, high achieving, dedicated, ambitious. Now that I stay home I haven't learned a healthy way to channel that. I run around the house like a crazy lady, cleaning floors, counters, toilets and tubs everyday all with dinner bubbling away in the oven. I care way too much about being a super SusyHomemaker because I'm so used to trying to be so good at my job. It's not necessarily what's best for me, my marriage, or my baby since I'm so wiped out and stressed all the time.

My FFFC, I used to despise Blair, with passion. I thought she was the rudest, snarkiest, B eva.. She made me cringe in tri boards, never wanted to even post close to her posts. Now, especially after her last couple posts, I PPH her.

I have another. ?I CAN.NOT.WAIT for G's 4 mth pedi appointment cuz I am hoping her doc will okay solids. ?She is hungrier than ever and has had a week of getting up 3 times or more a night to feed when she used to get up only once. ?Every one in my family including DH is urging me to start solids but I won't until the doc okays it. ?I am hoping that feeding her solids will solve the sleepless nights.?

I know that I'm one of the more "popular" nesties around. People "know" who I am & it's flattering & also mildly weird. The ass-kissing that occurs by some is also really effing annoying, even though I try not to let it show too much. But really...it's not high school. I'm not Queen B sitting at the cool kid's lunch table, demanding that you trade my carrot sticks for your pudding cup. Sometimes I laugh & tell Nate that he better listen to me because people like me on the internet.

I think people used to know who I am out of intimidation & fear, but I would hope that now, it's because I'm one of the nicer girls on here.

But I also don't spend hours wondering how to be "popular" or which nesties to "side" with so that I'm in the cool clique. Stick with what you believe, back up what you say, & let things roll. That's my best "advice" for being well-liked on the interwebs.

This cracks me up because I think you're a fabulous lady and I like you a lot, but I have to laugh to myself at the Blair ass-kissing that takes place here sometimes - especially from newbie posters.

My FFFC is that I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to pump, but I'm seriously considering toting my pump to work even after I quit so I can take little siestas in the pumping room. God, doesn't that sound fabulous? Just set the cell phone alarm, put my head down on the desk, and have some sweet sweet sleep.

My FFFC...I think Valentine's Day is a crock. I would much rather do something spontaneous to show FI how much I love him. I don't need overpriced candy and flowers to feel loved and wanted. Quite frankly, I'll be a little angry if he spends money on that crap when we have a wedding to pay for.

ITA (minus the wedding part for us).

If my husband has to be reminded to do something sweet for me by a corporation on a certain day once a year, it really takes the meaning out of it.
