Confessions....
I have been adding water to our apple juice jug b/c I think DH puts too much juice when he mixes it with water for DS's sippy. 
He has even mentioned something like "Z likes it when daddy makes his sippy!" insinuating that he knows I mix more water in it when I make it. I have to hold my tongue not to tell him that it's really not as sweet as he thinks it is! 
Feel free to add your own!

Re: Confessions....
DH makes lunch for the kids to take to MDO on M and W... After he leaves for work, I open the boxes and inspect. I swap out some of the stuff he puts in there. He puts in way too many "treats" and not enough healthy stuff...
I pick up the kids at 2 and when I get home I clean out the lunch boxes so he doesn't know that I changed anything
I'm somewhat of a food freak when it comes to DS's diet but this weekend was a free for all. I didn't care what he was eating as long as I could sit for 5 minutes to scarf my own food down.

I threw a little hissy fit when I had to leave my scrapbooking convention on Saturday to go home.....I didn't want to go back to the real world! Waaaaaa......
<br>
Sometimes I wonder what I did before DS that I thought I was "so tired" or "so busy." Really? Coming home after work, cooking and lounging sounds awesome right about now. Once I leave this place there's no sitting until 9:30. (please don't think I would trade having DS for anything but sometimes I just wanna do nothing!!) I better stop there before I earn another Mother of the Year Award.....
I am petrified that when MIL comes to help take care of the babies we're going to have a throw down and DH is going to side with his mom. How in the world am I going to get through that?
I am terrified that she's going to kiss my babies on the mouth and what feelings it will induce in me. Aaarrgghh.

I'm scared to have another baby. My pregnancy was a breeze. Labor and delivery was best case scenario (less than 10 hours and started with my water breaking so no contractions for two hours after that). My baby is easy and wonderful. Breastfeeding has been a breeze. Why jinx it? But I really wanted another one....
I always said I wouldn't be a bubble mom. Now that she's here, if someone were selling a bubble that would spare my child any harm, sickness, illness, disease, or keep predators and bullies away from her then I'd pay out the arse for it.
I have given myself until Friday to make a big decision. I really shouldn't be rushing myself but I need to make a decision and stop teetering.
I am SO with you on this one! Everyone says "your next one is going to be a holy terror since DS is so good". Yes, thank you for wishing me bad things!
I think I'm going to chance it one of these days, though. 
If it's another "good" baby, I'll thank my lucky stars, and if it is a demon child, I guess I got "what was coming" to me. lol.
Just think, no bottles to wash all the time. Nothing to carry around. You're packed and ready to go at any moment
Seriously, though, I had no weaning issues with either of my kids. Mathis completely self weaned at 13 mos when I was ready/prepared/wanted to keep going another 6 mos. They both took cups easily and went breast to bottle and back without issues. Mathis refused to take bottles but that wasn't until 5 mos and he would just go to sleep at night without one if I was out. His decision, so I was fine with it.
You're going to do great!
I did this with DH as well...he still does it
So Tasty, So Yummy

I'm going to go for as long as I can. Everytime he compalins I ask if he wants to get an automated box.
Add me to this list. I won't tell if y'all won't!
I deal with the kid poop all day.. Dh get to deal with the cat poop.... just sayin...
I am so there with both of you! It annoys me when people say my next pregnancy/baby is going to be bad. Thanks but I wasn't asking... I also used to think I wanted my babies 2 years apart. Well, that would mean I need to be getting pregnant right now.....never really thought about the logistics of "2 years apart." If I could fast forward to month 4 of being preggo then I might sign up but I can't imagine taking care of DS 75% on my own and feeling like I did at the beginning. 3 years apart is sounding better these days.
Boo. DH must have looked up the "rules" b/c he handed that job back over as soon as he could! We have an automated box, (I love it!), so it isn't that bad.
I am scared to death of having this baby. What if I have no idea what to do?
If there is such a thing as pregnancy depression, I think I have it. I am constantly on the brink of a breakdown. Yesterday my co-workers were talking about how my belly is SO much bigger than another co-workers (who is due the same day as me) and I cried all the way home.
If it makes you all feel any better, both of my babies were easy. The logistics of caring for a young toddler and an infant can be difficult regardless, but it doesn't last forever. Just like people were saying in that thread about forgetting about difficult pregnancies--it's really just a blip in the radar.
S/O to the litter box post.
I had a horrid gag reflex when I was PG, and I couldn't bear to take out the kitchen trash or rid the fridge of "mystery" leftovers.
I have "kept" said reflex. Hee.
Ditto 100%. It really makes me think hard about another one.
I finally accepted this morning that bfing is coming to an end. Work is getting crazy busy and stressful and it's really making an impact on my supply. I'm going to keep it up for another month, but then I plan to slowly wean in the month of August. I'm terrified that it won't go well, I'm afraid I'll gain 40lbs in one week, I'm worried C won't understand...but I'm also a little relieved to not have to worry about my shrinking supply every day and a little excited about all of the free time I'll have. Ok, well all of the time I'll have back to do other stuff like laundry and working out. Maybe.
For those of you who are scared that baby #2 won't be easy as #1....don't believe what other say. #1 was such an easy baby - he was a great sleeper and eater from day one. I thought he was the easiest baby ever.....then, I had #2 and let me tell you, she is even easier! I am shocked that I was blessed with such easy going, relaxed kiddos. With that said, I am NOT going to trying my luck a third time, lol.
This was the case for K and C. To be honest though I am a little nervous about how 3 will be. But that might also be because I will have 2 that are 15 months apart.
So, it's the Aggies that are having good babies...I'm liking my odds!
Me too! Whoop!
Thankfully, both of ours were great babies as well and they are right under 15 months apart. I was expecting the worse at the beginning but everything worked out great. Now, it is a little bit different as they are into everything! I hope that baby #3 will be as easy as the first two were. It scares me to think of 3 under 3 sometimes.
