B has a doctors appointment today. I woke up early to do my hair and put on makeup. The confession part, I did that because his surgeon is HOT!

This made me lol. Good luck with B's appointment!!

Thanks! Smile

DH and I have still not had sex .. and haven't since I was about 32 weeks pregnant. Strangely I am not surprised (and not all that into the idea), but soon enough his Xbox is going to be the only action he ever gets if he doesn't start acting more interested because I don't have the energy to make the first move anymore.

*mutters to herself* I'll give you another "Call of Duty".

2nd FFFC... I am jealous of all the girls who's DH can't wait to get back into action.

I'm worse. WE still not have had sex (yes... that's right. Our baby is almost 5 months). The weird thing is, I'm horny, he's horny and all over me.. but I just don't want to have sex.

I will give it up soon. Blah. Maybe this weekend. We're going out drinking. Maybe I just need some liquid courage.

I'm right there with you ladies. It's been since I was like 28 weeks pregnant or so. I feel AWFUL about it, I feel like such a bad wife. My poor DH has been wonderful though.

I'm late every single day to work.. & I blame it on the babies.
I also request weekends off cause "SO is out of town" (even though he isn't) and I don't have a babysitter on weekends! dangit.

I just have to tell you your boys are the cutest things! Their eyes are so gorgeous!

Um, yeah. I read your post and said "oh my gosh" out loud about how cute they are!

I heard someone use the term "dreadmill" for "treadmill" last week and seriously considered punching them in the face.

I would totally use this word because I hate exercising.

I'm a shiity mom. I've always wanted children, and have work with kids for my career, but I feel like I've screwed everything up with my DS.

We had a really traumatic birth, and he had low blood sugar so was in the NICU (away from me) for a week because of undiagnosed gestational diabetes. I hate myself for having made him sick, and for not knowing something was wrong. I stay up every night thinking about how his health may be impacted for the rest of his life since I failed at being pregnant.

DS hasn't slept more than 3 hours at a time since he was born, and lately only 20-45 minute stretches. I'm beyond exhausted, and feel like I'm not enjoying him like I'm "supposed" to. I'm frustrated, with him, with my inability to make anything better, and with living in Germany away from close friends and family.

I think I've broken our ability to be attached to each other (because of the NICU, and the chronic exhaustion), and I don't know what to do to fix it. I love him, but I don't think I feel the way you're supposed to, and I'm afraid it's going to impact his whole life. Yeah, probably have some PPD going on, but I really see no way for it to improve if I can't ever sleep.

Wow, sorry to take this to a serious place, but I think I needed to get that off my chest, and I'm not ready to tell anyone in my "real" life yet. Thanks.

I accidentally said it that way once when I had a cold and my mom thought it was so funny that I was either making a pun or a Freudian slip. If I hated the treadmill that much would I really be discussing it even with a headcold?

H is joining the Air Force. We are both way excited about this. I will get to be a SAHM when we finally get assigned to a base. In the mean time I will still be at my job. But I have already checked out. I don't want to do anything. H hasn't even gone to basic yet. He leaves in May.

My BIL and SIL are moving to AK end of this month. I couldn't be more happier that they will not be around any more. We wont have to make up stuff to avoid them.

I am so sorry you are going through this. I know first hand how difficult a NICU stay is and how you feel almost detached from your child during that period. It helped me to talk to my friends about it. Please, try and talk to someone either your DH or a close friend. Also, I would suggest speaking to a doctor. I really hope that things get better for you and your get some sleep soon. ((hugs))

I don't think any of your feelings are uncommon, but I really think you should talk to your doctor about the PPD and your feelings in general. They can help.

I changed my name when I got married because I'm named after my dad and I would constantly get junk mail for him. Yeah, AARP, I don't need anything from you when I'm 28 years old. FYVM.

*Hugs* I agree with what everyone else said: that you should definitely talk to your doc and your DH. Maybe your DH can get a few days leave to take care of your LO so that you can get some real rest. Are there any other women/mothers around you that can watch him for a few hours so you can try to nap?

snansley · February 2011

I give the side-eye to people who complain about their child's sleep habits and then won't do anything to fix them. You can believe that kids are too young or that crying is cruel, or they won't sleep without nursing/paci/that picture of Dumbo or whatever blanket excuse you want to give about sleep training. But if that is your choice, I don't want to hear you whine about how you are tired. I think you are doing a disservice to your child by not encouraging healthy sleep habits.

1. I'm still wearing maternity jeans.

2. I ate an entire bag of Reese's Minis yesterday. Not minature cups, but the new minis that are the size of a dime and don't contain wrappers.

3. I think it's weird when people don't spray canned whipped cream into their mouth.

4. I don't like mayo.

Stop the press! Where does one find this glorious treat?

I love Prince...but only when he was Prince, not the artist formerly known as Prince.

I think Oprah and Gail are more than just friends.

Walgreens! They're brand spanking new and I just had to have them.

Trader Joe's makes a non-reese's version that's to die for.

Hell to the no. The only change I made was to put my maiden name in all caps to make sure everyone knew NO MAN owned me! *z-snap* And eff FB and all those new-fangled things! Off send a telegram to my family to let them know Lily is doing well!

Telegram? You kids and your crazy technology.

I think it's completely bizzare that people DON'T change their name when they get married. Why do you want to have a different last name than your kids? I worked with a woman who had to explain who she was every.single.time. she called her kids' school. If you don't have a good enough sense of self without being that attached to your last name, I think you have deeper issues. Flame away.

It is optional...but I don't think it's the norm as she was making it seem to be. At least, it's not in my area.

I'm so sorry that it's not getting better for you. I agree with the other ladies that you should talk to your doctor about your feelings. I definitely have felt some of what you're feeling and talking to my doctor helped a lot.

Oh and I just noticed your PM last night! Sorry it took me so long, but I replied now.

I haven't done real work since Thursday. Of last week.

I work from home on Fridays and still have the nanny here to watch DD. I just shut my office door and watched Real Housewives of Beverly Hills while the nanny fed my baby and put her down for a nap Embarrassed
