For BriandSean -

Annnnnnnnnnd GO!

ckmommy · January 2011

Come on BirandSean, I need something to liven up my morning, my coffee isn't doing it for me.

kristalovesjared · January 2011

I'm waiting too!

BriAndSean · January 2011

I was on a conference call... sorry guys. And my confession is twofold.

#1 - I'm not sad at all about the fact that my life will no longer include conference calls 30 days from now. But I am a little nervous about giving my resignation next Tuesday!

#2 - DH and I are not TTA this month But just for this one month, and then we will wait until summer to actually TTC #3. Because I am a planner, and I like Spring/Summer babies.

#2-

Ciaram22 · January 2011

I'm sick and tired of one of my "I know everything about pregnancy" friends. She insists that there are certain things that I can't do because when she was pregnant with her son she couldn't do them. I know shes just going off of what her doctors told her but come on you had your son 3 years ago and some things have changed.

I'm going to get my hair done for the first time, other than just a regular cut, since last April. I have 4-5 inch brown roots with blond ends and its driving me nuts. I can't stand the thought of going another 3 to 4 months with this hair as its really just ugly and I want to get rid of it. I talked to my Dr. and he was fine with me getting it dyed. This friend has flat out told me that I can't do it because she couldn't do it when she was pregnant with her son.

Woo hoo! Very happy for you.

1. I support the Egyptians in their revolt.

2. I just read the city is trying to shut down Jiggles (a strip club in the U-District) because it's 60 feet away from a school. I've driven by this joint several times in the last few months. You can't see inside at all, so unless you know what's going on in there, you don't know what's going on in there. If that makes sense. So I think it's ridiculous that the city is trying to shut it down. FWIW - There is a very very popular bar right next door. They're not trying to shut that down, yet they have a HUGE picture window and it opens at 11:30 AM, even on the weekdays. Kids will probably see people walking in there and walking out with a buzz. They may even see a drunk person walking around. Yet somehow having a place that is showing boobies behind a closed door and windowless front is way way worse. GAH!

Yay! And I totally know how you feel, I was the same right before I resigned.

Mine is that I am F-ing sick and tired of the sh*t sleep that everyone in this house is getting right now. Sarah won't nap for more than 30 minutes at a time (you can set your watch by it) but somehow when she spent the day with MIL yesterday she slept 2.5 hours! WTF!?! I'm sure she sat there and rocked her the whole time because it's crap like that that Syd is a crap sleeper too. Syd won't sleep unless someone (DH because I'm usually trying to get Sarah to sleep) is sitting outside her door where she can see them ever since the snow/wind storm from over two weeks ago. Can you tell I got no sleep last night? I'm ready to just stick the both of them in a room and let them cry until they wear each other out. I can't keep going like this, I'm literally about to cry.

LuvBug12683 · January 2011

...I've been putting off my Dr. appt to get my Mirena taken out b/c I'm afraid it will hurt, I finally did it and now I'm scheduled to go in on Wednesday! I guess that will make us "eligible" for baby #3 now, eeekk!

nykola · January 2011

Today my FFFCs are parenting-related.

1) I seriously want to go off on 50% of the parents at the Belsquare Play Cove. Indoor public play areas are not babysitting services people. You don't get to just drop your kid off and then check your brain and surf your iphone. Please pay attention to your child who has camped out at the bottom of the slide and is now blocking the way for anyone else to go down. Hey did you notice that your son is running around smacking all the other kids in the face? Is that snot dripping down your child's face? OMG, why would you even bring a sick child here? And you there - mother of the giant elementary school-sized children sprinting around the playcove, knocking down toddlers left and right. There is a height restriction sign up front and BOTH of your children are about 1.5 feet too tall to even be in here. What the HECK?

2) People who passively aggressively try to parent other peoples' children bug the HECK out of me. For example, the other day my neighbor came up to my son as I was getting out of my car and says, "Awww, aren't you adorable? Your mommy needs to put a hat on you." At 50 degrees outside, he's fine lady, now piss off.

I was close! I was going to guess you were expecting #3, and my second guess was that you were quitting your job. But, both are very exciting!

StellaZ · January 2011

Congrats to those going for # 3 - my hat is off to you!

FFC1: (coming off of CG's post)...I am ALL for legalized prostitution - get it off the streets, out of the hands of pimps - bring back the brick-n-mortar houses of "ill-repute" - licensed, taxed, mandatory regular health checks etc.

FFC2: My (much younger) sister is driving me nuts lately - in the past month she has:
1. Broken up with her live-in boyfriend - a great guy we all loved
2. Bought a mini-pig off Craigslist (it appears the going rate is about $400)
3. Realized she lives in an apartment that does not allow pets
4. Gave away same mini-pig which she owned for about 16 hours(!) to a petting farm down south
5. Met a guy off Craigslist
6. Is exclusively dating him even though he works mostly in NV (!?)
7. Started going to bible study because he is religous - even though she has never been (??!)

GAH!

preston18 · January 2011

I bought a set of soup bowls from Target in 2001. I no longer like them and want them out of my house but they?re DH?s favorite for cereal and ice cream (because they?re huge). We don?t have room for them in our cabinets either and I have to stand on tip-toe and move things to put them away. Wednesday I intentionally dropped one and then put the other two in the trash as well. He asked about them last night and I said I dropped on putting it away and the others were chipped (which they were) so I tossed them. N piped up with ?Mama drop!? DH seemed sad but they?re MY bowls and I want them gone.

And now they are.

I agree 100% with Nykola on the Boats. I have security?s number in my phone. I will call if some 9 year old is running amok. It seems as though the older kids are just dropped off while their parents shop.

Alli923 · January 2011

1) Even though I know I really had no other choice than to have a c-section with Lucy, I'm kind of mad about it now. I'm having major baby fever and the only thing preventing DH and I from TTC #2 is that I want to try for a v-bac and my doc requires at least 24 mos. between births. I wish I wasn't forced to wait just to avoid another surgery.

2) I started C25K this week and every time I get to the jogging part my a$$ shakes/jiggles so much I wonder what cars driving by are thinking.

THIS! THIS! THIS! I am the first to admit that my 18 month old is the size of a 2.5 year old and is quite the linebacker BUT, I would NEVER let him knock down other kids without pulling him aside and telling him it's wrong. The first and last time we went to a play area (Alderwood Mall) my kid was knocked down 3 times in 5 minutes by what looked like a 10 year old in the play area. I was so pissed AND disappointed - and not ONE person came over to talk to the kid about it. Jackson wanted to play so badly, but I wasn't going to chance him walking out with a black eye. WATCH YOUR KIDS PARENTS!!!

This is me! I am jogging on the treadmill just to save the site from other people. Plus it kinda hurts. Thats when you know you have a large a$$ when you run it hurts. LOL

Maddimom · January 2011

I took M to the dr yesterday for diaper rash. It is pretty bad but one of the reasons I took her is I wanted to get the new baby talk and fit pregnancy baby mags for the $10 off amazon codes

*Bloom2be* · January 2011

My dad is coming over to visit today and we haven't seen him since just after Christmas. I should be happy to see him and that he's finally making an effort to see his Grandson, but I'm still annoyed that he didn't get Hudson anything for Christmas He definitely didn't NEED anymore Christmas presents but even something small would've been a nice gesture for his FIRST Christmas... my dad commented on what a "bad" grandpa he is for not getting him anything and how he was going to get him something soon.. but I have yet to see or hear anything about it since ..My dad is so bad about gifts and making an effort for Birthdays/Holidays and it gets old sometimes

Which brings me to FFFC #2 .. I really just want to take a few days off work and SLEEP!! I am so sick of graveyard shift and can't wait for March to come so I can finally be less of a zombie

MrsH_08 · January 2011

I'm constantly disappointed in the clothing options for baby boys. I'll admit, I'm only looking at BRU and Target for now (for registry items), so I'm sure I can find other stuff eventually, once I shop elsewhere. It's like all boys clothes have either cars, camo, sports, or something like monster trucks or tattoo-looking prints. None of those fit DH and I. But I'm mostly really tired of everything being jungle print! From crib sheets to clothing, it's jungle prints, or safari, or Madagascar. What's the difference? I have nothing against it and my sister did the cutest jungle themed nursery for her boys. But not everyone is doing jungle, folks. Think outside the box.

I guess that was more of a vent.

Outlet mall! There were tons of cute boy stuff at Carter's, Gymboree and The Children's Place when I was there last month.

I have been wanting to check out the Carter's outlet store, and I didn't know about the others (never been to the outlet mall). I'm sure we'll find great stuff! For now, I'm just trying to fill out the registry with some basics and I'm just disappointed in the prints. I'm hoping to hit the outlet stores the next time we go north to visit MIL.

zazzu · January 2011

I have a repair man coming over at 2 and I have absolutely no intention of being out of my pj's by then.

heather318 · January 2011

I can't stand big massive headbands with bows and flowers the size of their heads on little girls. Some of the girls on my birth month board have some of the most ridiculous siggy pics with big massively ugly headpieces on their babies. All you do when you see the picture is stare at their head! I don't mind the simple subdued ones though.

Both of these annoy me too. I will admit that I do check my phone, but I am super paranoid that someone will walk in and kidnap my child, so I usually just sit there. I used to follow her around because I was so nervous, but I've graduated to just watching her.

But speaking of the elementary age kids. I took Emma to the play area because it was absolutely hotter than Hades out and I was helping her climb up on the slide when a friend of mine came in a said hello. I was chatting with him while watching Emma attempt to copy another kid climbing up on something when four boys came barreling in. They were at least 8-12 and started climbing on stuff and jumping off and one almost knocked over Emma. So I, loudly, said to my friend, "I swear, if one of those kids knocks Em over, I'm going to kill them with my bare hands". One of them heard me and they left right after. I don't feel bad about it. Dang kids shouldn't be allowed to just run a muck in the mall.

cmcmillan · January 2011

I really, really want cupcakes! Tomorrow night D is going out with some work friends, after the boys bedtime. I am thinking I may go pick some up tomorrow, hide them then eat them all while he's gone. Stick out tongue And I plan on watching Ramona & Beezus while I eat them.

ChubbyCheekiesMom · January 2011

I totally agree on the play areas in the Malls. I have taken T to the one at Alderwood twice, and each time I didn't sit down, I stood near him to make sure he was nice and that he didn't get bullied. Of course he did, and that was it. I haven't taken him back (and the fact that he got sick a few days after playing there). I told myself I'd never take my kid there to play (I worked at that mall for 8 years) but I did, and it won't happen again. I am willing to give the Bell square one a try.

I also agree, OUTLET mall is great for boy clothing, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Children's place!

My tummy jiggles when I run! I haven't stepped foot outside yet, I'd like to but our road doesn't have side walks (or even a side to run on).

MY FFFC: I am making H go to a furniture store this week to go get a new couch. Our 2 couches are nasty, one we've had for 7 years, and other other has 2 rips in it and a broken back. NO I don't want them fixed, I hate them. I want a nice sectional. I know some stores are offering free financing for 1 year. ON a good note. DH's dad (who he is working for) got another load lined up for H, so he has work, indefinitely, at least with his dad. We are still hoping for another place to make an offer. The money he'd make would be plenty but we are unsure about insurance. I say we buy the stinkin' couch as a celebratory gift

doesnt hurt at all... little cramping. Im waiting to hve mine put back in. They calle the morning of the appt to tell me they were out of stock. I have my annual in march. I'll just wait.

I'm kind of jealous of the girls who are trying for #3. Hayden is 9 months old and that is about how old Jillian was when I got pregnant again. But the practical part of me says "oh h$ll no!" about #3. There is just no way I can swing it while working and our house is so perfectly set-up for 2 kids.

FFF - Same as last weeks. Tired, exhausted but breaking away at 3pm today to meet a couple of girlfriends at my house to have wine. i need girl time and i certainly need wine. i still have homework and my team's performance reviews to do and training to schedule for 1,200 people in the next 2 weeks but this IS more important.

You are right, it is more important. Enjoy your girl time!

My FFFC#1: I know I did this all to myself, but... I'm heading down to Portland this weekend for my BFF's shower and bachelorette party tomorrow and coming back Sunday. There is NO part of me that wants to go. At all. I know I'm MOH and all, but I'm really over her and the whole wedding right now.

FFFC #2: I over-charged the people coming to the bachelorette party, on accident, but once I figured out this miscalculation yesterday I decided I was keeping the money for myself and going to HomeGoods on Sunday to buy some fun things.

FFFC #3: I just had a great conversation with my boss, who is ultra critical and picky. He is always on everyone's case. I came back to the office after our meeting and loudly blabbed about how great he thinks I'm doing. I know I pissed people off. Oh well.

Seriously noddingmy head here on both counts. The passive aggressive stuff gets me especially riled up.

At 2 weeks, we had an appointment with the lactation consultant and in the lobby, a woman heard E crying her hungry cry and said something to the effect of 'isn't your mommy going to feed you?'. I replied, 'no, we starve her' and turned back around. The lactation consultant told me to bring her in hungry you @sshat. As a NURSE that works in that building, I would think that would register as a dumb comment to you. /vent.

WatchPot · January 2011

Dh is going to Vegas v-day weekend and I'm so excited. I want to have control of the house and the TV and not be constantly bothered. I don't want to be asked "what's for dinner" or "what do you have going on today" which is translation for I'm gonna go hang out and play video games/mess around online/watch tv. Give me ample warning if you want something out of me.

At least when he's gone I get to control do what I want and W and I will get some great bonding time.

#2: I had a lot of fun at the GTG last weekend and for the first GTG didn't feel like a loner. I really felt like I fit in, so Thanks!! Embarrassed so for those newbies, hang in there it gets easier.

#1 - Among my friends it's common to have a shower for your second (and 3rd, etc) kid. I've helped throw 3 or 4 in the last year for 2nd babies and when we announced our pregnancy people were all abuzz about how fun my shower would be with all boy clothes. I'm 6 weeks away from my due date and more than likely I will have him early (had DD 3 weeks early) and no plans have been made. We don't really need anything, I just wanted the fun celebration of a new baby. (And I hate that I feel this way)

#2 - DD has been a pill for the last 2 weeks. She's been super clingy, up a lot at night, and only wants me and I'm exhausted from it. DH stayed home with her today and took her to the DR for what I thought last night was pink eye and she has a double ear infection.

#3 - I can't remember anymore... I may be back to update.

ttgcole · January 2011

So I have been sick all week I feel awful and Austin is teething. Husband is working 60 hour weeks so he is no help. Last night I had to convince him to have Austin spend the night at my parents since we had class and then my mom was watching him today anyway. I needed the rest and Austin sleeps in our bed. He has to work tomorrow, so I said that I may have my mom take him so I can rest. He got all pissy and said all I do is pawn him off, and that he will have to go to Tacoma and get him and blah blah blah. The man does everything in his power to make my life harder instead of giving me a break.

I almost never get to shower before nap time but I like to get Lila out of the house in the morning... play dates, gymnastics, story time, swimming.... I always feel bad for whoever has to see me (or god forbid, smell me) on those mornings.

I felt the same way. My little moms group had "gtg showers" for the other girls when they were expecting, acouple weeks ahead of time all planned out lunch/treats. I was very hurt when my due date with W got closer and closer with nothing planned. They did end up doing alittle playdate thing 2 weeks after he was born, to come meet him. I hope your friends just have something planned that you are unaware of, every baby deserves to be celebrated!

Yeah, I think if #1 was a boy I would probably space them out more. But K is SO helpful with G. I figure it will be hard no matter when we do it, but we really want to have at least 3, maybe 4 so I figure we might as well just keep on going while we are in this stage of life.

Our house is set-up really well for 2 kids also. We only have 3 bedrooms so #3 will put us into sharing rooms. But then again, I grew up with 4 brothers and 2 sisters in a 4 bedroom house. I think my kids will be ok
