Re: FFFC
WHAT?
I feel the exact same way. I'm torn between being super proud of him and slightly ashamed of myself. I just don't have it in me.
I sure can shop for her though!
Congrats!! I take it this was not planned?
My FFFC- I had my IUD removed 2 months ago because it was causing insane cramps and long periods...DH and I have been pulling and praying until I figure out my next method of BC...and AF is a few days late. Holding off on POAS until after the weekend because I'm not ready to know just yet!
I wish my daughter would watch TV. I try nightly and she's not into it. This annoys the crap out of me.
OMG! Congrats!!!
I have been letting him watch more lately. He is just so busy all the time cruising around and falling that I need a break from the mayhem sometimes, so he has started allowing me to cuddle him on the couch, so I'm taking it.
Details?
Holy crap! I thought this was another "blue frog pajamas" joke until I saw your ticker. Congrats! I guess that's why you were so observant about TB not having a January 2013 BMB yet.
My FFFC: My birthday is next week and DH keeps asking what I want. All I really want is to spend a night at a hotel by myself. I miss sleep so much. Saoirse has been teething badly along with ear pain so she is up multiple times every night, then DH snores when I get back in the bed, then by the time he stops the new baby starts kicking or gets hiccups, then Saoirse wakes up again. I need some rest because I'm about to have a newborn in 8 weeks. I feel really guilty about wanting to abandon my kid though. She's never been without me and DH would not handle it well. *sigh*
This is me too. I was a SAHM for 7 months, and I am so much happier at work. We both work now, but H would be so much better as a SAHD than I was as a SAHM.
We'll miss you sweet Debbie Girl (4.21.12) and sweet Cindy Girl (8.9.12)
How are you feeling about this? I am sure you're having some mixed emotions. Congrats though! Babies are a blessing!

I am not SAHM material. I am still on leave, but really look forward to going back to work. We are going to TTC in the summer though, and I had a brief moment of dread (so bad, I guess that's why it's FFFC) thinking that I could be off work again so soon. I am terrible.
So, for a brief moment this month, I thought I might be KU. And last night I asked my DH what he thought about that. He said "I'd deal with it." This hurt my feelings. Even though we are not really trying, more just pulling and praying at this moment. But, I feel like babies are a blessing and if we did get KU, it breaks my heart to think that he would have to "deal with it." I guess we should be trying to avoid a little more seriously if that is his opinion.
And it makes me sad that I am ready for more children and he is not. But,I know he'll get there. We just need to stick with our plan of TTC in January I guess.
I am judgmental and I will admit to it. I'd rather be openly judgemental (on here and to friends, not random strangers in person) than passive aggressive.
That said, DH's cousin is 39 weeks pregnant with kid number 3. She is on government assistance and living with her mom for 1, adopted out 2, and is now keeping 3, all 3 with different guys who are not in the picture. Last night she was bragging on FB about how "bad-azz" she is because she climbed under her car to change her own oil. In my sissy-prissy, judgmental suburban life all I could think was "poor girl that she doesn't have anyone to do that for her and can't afford a professional". Maybe if she would get her life together she could change things around, but she has absolutely no desire to and is fine with living off the government and her mom, who is severely stressed by it all and in declining health.
Whoa! Congratulations! I hope all works out well for you
I wish you the best
You know your situation better than anyone on a message board. But know this... I am slightly jealous of your BFP 
I am jealous of all these BFP popping up everywhere. I would loooooooove to start trying again but for a few reasons we have to wait. But I am definitely envious.
This is not meant to be snarky at all, but since your bf is in the middle of recovery do you really think that the added additional stress of a new baby is going to help him? He slipped up over Christmas, when he had ONE baby, what makes you think that he will be equipped to handle a newborn plus a toddler and his sobriety?
My SIL's friend was in the EXACT situation as you, and said the same thing "that she wanted her kids close together in age". It didn't end well, they have a restraining order between them and he has zero contact with either of their 2 kids.
I just sincerely hope that you are looking at things realistically so that you are not sorely disappointed if things don't work out well.
As someone who has children with a drug addict Im shocked by you. I thought you were stronger than this because of how hard you tried to convince us of it when we called you out. I hope all the best for you & your children but as far as internet respect goes you just totally dropped off the radar. Yes I can judge because unlike most of the people here I know exactly what this situation is like.
I don't get excited over every pregnancy. Not all pregnancies should be celebrated.
^^ BTW this is my general opinion, especially when it comes to Teen Pregnancy. My opinion on the current BFP with MM, well...I don't think it's a wise decision at all, actually I think it's a terrible decision. But what is done is done, and I wish you nothing but the happiest and healthiest upcoming 9 months, and continiued success with your FI, Boyfriend, father of your children's recovery.
FFFC: I forgot about client I had seated in a conference room. Gotta love tired mommy brain hopefully I don't get in too much trouble!
Truth is the truth, at least its honest. Butt kissing isnt going to help her situation any.
& there is no such thing as flame free, if you'd been around for longer you'd know that.
Agreed.
I wasn't butt-kissing, I'm genuinely happy for her. No amount of snipes or comments from anyone on this board is going to change how she acts. Perhaps, in retrospect, she shouldn't have shared so freely. But it's too late. She doesn't need to be beat up. How do you know she hasn't already asked herself the same questions and kicked her own butt?
SHUT THE FRONT DOOR.
Holy crap.
I'm speechless.
I am sorry MM but your situation is completely different because it is NOT YOUR EX that she is with and you are not HER! Everybody is an individual and completely different. What happened in your case does not mean it'll happen in her case, so no you DO NOT know exactly what her situation is like.
M&M, congratulations, I am so extremely happy for you!
I'm glad you are feeling happy. A very H&H 9 months to you! I am sure Mason will be an awesome big brother!!!!
We'll miss you sweet Debbie Girl (4.21.12) and sweet Cindy Girl (8.9.12)
No but this proves that what she's said here is a big show & that she's a lot more naive than she'd like you all to know.
Drug addicts are drug addicts. Sure the severity of their addiction is different from person to person, but in the end if you know one you know them all.
At least Mason is dressed for the FFFC. Love the baby legs. He looks bad-a$$.
FWIW, M&M is an adult who is completely capable of making responsible decisions. She seems to be a great mom and I cannot believe people are flaming someone for being pregnant. What it comes down to is this - no matter how much we "know" about each other, we do not know everything. There are tons of people out there who should not be parents, but M&M's SO doesn't seem to be one of these people based on what she has said about him. Everyone has faults and it sounds like he is trying his best to correct his along with her support. I am sure there are things about each of us which, if picked apart and taken out of context of who we are on the whole, would make us seem like bad parents. I am happy for her because babies are awesome. No further judgement because I am not in her shoes, same way I feel about everyone.
Stop being a pretentious know it all. You do not actually know M&M in real life and neither do you know her EX. Stop lumping everybody into your prejudices. Not all ex-addicts are worthless, which you seem to be implying.
