Yesterday I took a snack into the bathroom so I can eat while taking a crap.

HAHAHAH!! Isn't it amazing what we do now that the babies are here? I've gone #2 while holding her because she just wouldn't let me put her down.
Yeah I have done that too. I figured she takes short naps and I don't want to choose between eating and going to the bathroom. I can poop my cake and eat it too!

FTFY.

While I know that I can put Owen down to nap in his swing most of the time, I choose to hold him for at least one nap a day so that I can just sit on the couch and chill for that 45 mins-1 hour.

I have yet to start any sort of house cleaning routine. My house is pretty nasty.

I had to seriously stop myself yesterday from posting a rant about the same people snagging the free formula checks over and over. It was a "wow, time to step away from the computer" moment, haha.

Let me know what brand you use, and I will see if I have any. I get some in the mail, but am not sure what kind.

This. I got some in the mail the other day and am not sure what brand they are, but I would be more than happy to get rid of them.

Thanks ladies We use Similac and they are hard to come by around here!! I wish the company would mail me things more often, but they never seem to...I am jealous of people who are constantly getting them!

PM me your address, I have 3 $5 off checks I will mail you on Monday. :-)

I get stuff from all the companies, no clue how, I ebf.

I haven't been to a regular doctor in over 2 years...DH keeps bugging me to go, but I keep using the baby as an excuse not to. I know I should probably go for a physical, but it's just honestly at the low end of my priority list.

I don't really see a reason for it. Especially since you just had a baby and [presumeably] that invovled bloodwork, BP checks, etc.

-I put on makeup in the car on my way to work every day. I have done this since hs. I know its horribly dangerous, but I am always running late, and feel like its the one thing I can hold off on in the mornings. (DD is not in the car with me when I do this).

I did this while in college. I had 20 miles and a very straight nonbusy highway to do it on. I didn't really need to look in the mirror either. I'm sure I looked special at times but it honest only made me just as distracted driving as I would have been from eating. I don't do it any more at all but I know how it can be done while driving and not like when you put it on in a mirror at home.

Im not flaming you but jeez...please tell me you do this at stop lights? Were you not around for the absolute tar and feathering Ms. Green took over texting while driving. You have to know how unsafe this is. Your LO wouldn't be the only person you are putting in danger.

I don't either. But I had borderline GD, and my thyroid levels need to be checked again (I'm hypothyroid), and I think MH is worried about me, honestly. There are a few things that weren't checked during pregnancy to take into consideration too (cholesterol for one.)

Tambcat · August 2012

Sometimes I get embarrassed about my dog's name because it's such a popular one. Lol. (I didn't choose it- his fosters did - but we kept it.)

Yeah, I definitely see no reason for me to see a family medicine or internal medicine practitioner when I'm already seeing an OB annually and a cardiologist all the dang time. Hubby sees a family med doc yearly, but even he says he's not sure what the exam is supposed to catch without things like blood work. He actually went the day before yesterday, and I was like, so, are you healthy? He said, well, the doc says so, but all he did was listen to my heart.

Tambcat · August 2012

If I didn't have to see my GP regularly for "med checks," I would never go just for a check up. I know I should, but I wouldn't.

ChelseyB5186 · August 2012

I'm also horrible about going to the dentist, eye doctor, and chiropractor. Yet, I always make sure MH has his appointments, and he goes to them. I do the same thing with eating well-- I make sure to pack him a really nice, healthy lunch and breakfast, but all my meals are thrown together quickly (and not always healthily) so I can take care of L.

Beener0514:
I've mentioned before that my husband is quickly balding and he hates it. He's looked into getting hair restoration and decided against it because of the costs (we have the money but we are house shopping and he wants to use it towards that). I really wish he'd do the hair restoration. For me, it is less about the aesthetics and more about the attitude- my husband was so confident before and I found that really sexy. Now that he's losing his hair, he's lost that confidence and I want him to get that back. No matter how much I say to him or try to show him that I don't care about the hair loss, it doesn't convince him.

My DH lost his hair when he was 23ish? So when we met and started dating he was bald. He's SO self-concious about it, even almost 10 years later. I think he feels like its ugly, no matter how many times I tell him how much I love it. I wish he had that confidence, too. I always make it a point too to never say anything about a mans hair - I don't want to make him feel bad.

Ximena M · August 2012

My GP sucks. I started at a clinic because I was so broke. I really liked the doctor there, but she moved away and I never bothered changing. I can never get in when I'm sick and they aren't very proactive. I rarely see the same person. One time I went for an upper respiratory infection and they had a fill-in doctor. He gave me a prescription for amoxicillin even after I told him that I was allergic to penicillin. I ended up going to my asthma and allergy clinic. The only reason I went there was for my annul. Now that I have an excellent OB I will never go there again.

ChelseyB5186 · August 2012

I will recycle mine. I mention people from the FB group for fun to see if they will show up. When they do I crack up.

I'm honestly surprised that that is all we got from them yesterday. I thought they would have swarmed at your comment.

I knew it was probably flame worthy. Not that it matters, but like someone mentioned before I rarely even glance in the mirror while doing this because I wear minimal makeup. I know, it is still dangerous, and I wont do it or text while anyone else is in the car....no excuse I know! I always say Im going to stop...but I just never can seem to. Not that this matters at all either...but I have a 2 mile commute that is a max speed of 30 mph. Im not doing it while Im going 70 down the highway. No excuses deem this OK...but I still do it.

Tambcat · August 2012

I don't like my GP either. I used to, but I think she has spread herself too thin now. She always seems distracted and just not very competent. I need to find a new one. I got my OB to renew my AD prescription, but now I need my nasonex renewed, and I'm not sure I can convince the vag doctor to write that one. lol

Thats good you won't do it with YOUR baby in the car, but what about everyone else on that road driving THEIR babies who you could potentially wreck into while being distracted? Everyone is SOMEONE's child.

Not flaming but seriously you need to think about this and have respect for all the others on the road...and yourself. Your baby needs her mom.

One of my good friends was just in an accident while going 30 on a wet road (it had rained). She wasn't even on the phone or putting on makeup. She almost died. She would have left behind many people who loved her if she had. Why couldn't they same thing possibly happen to you while you're busy doing your makeup?

I don't use toilet seat covers at work. There are only 7 women at my office and we are pretty close so I feel comfortable sharing butt germs with them. Plus it's probably cleaner than the toilet at my house, our office has a cleaning lady that comes once a week.

I have no idea if this has been mentioned before, but I think 50 Shades of Grey is a terrible, terrible book and I judge people who rave about it. And I did start it, but have no interest in continuing it because I couldn't stand either of the characters.

I think having babies has been bad for my marriage. We were sickening before. Truly never fought. So compatible. Great companions. Good friends. Never got tired of each other. Now we're snippy and frustrated and arguing. I yell, he clams up or leaves, we go to bed in a huff. The couple that used to talk about EVERYTHING now can't even calmly discuss what to do about Etta's sleep regression. I don't regret having the babies, but I do lament that it's taken such a toll on my marriage.

You just highlighted my relationship with my husband! Before baby we got along famously, never fought once in our whole relationship, cuddled and were always told by friends and family that they hope to find someone to have a relationship like us. Now we fight, cant do things calmly, he has such a short temper before he gets frustrated (dont get me started when Wyatt is crying) and we do go to bed mad. It is exhausting on how frustrating it is. I have pondered leaving. More than once.

It is on my kindle but i havent started it yet. Its hard to find time to read, but i have even more motivation now that there is a rumor that Channing Tatum might be starring it. He is the bees knees. I also want to see what all the fuss is about.

You could wreck into someone else, or even if you didn't and you wrecked and were the only one hurt, I know you wouldn't want to potentially put your child in the position of having a critically injured parent or god forbid, losing a parent just to put make up on. I've also driven distracted in the past, but now with all the don't text and drive PSAs out there, it's scary to think what could happen even if you think you have it under control.

I'm the opposite. I'm a jerk in real life. I have strong viewpoints and online, I can constructively present them. IRL, I'm more impulsive. Which, isn't effective at all.

So, I'm known as some kind of liberal jerk, I guess. Maybe I am. But I also think a lot of the people I know are ignorant and closed minded. I am neither of those things.

Im the same way! But not sure that many people "like" me on here. But thats only because I rarely get too involved in too many posts. I just ask a ton o questions. Still, in person people always think Im a bish at first. I have "that look", plus Im painfully shy at first with people. I like to sit back and see what theyre all about before I get too talkative. So that combo makes people think I am snotty.

I have three kids, two of them boys, and I've never been peed or pooped on. But it happens to DH all the time. It's not like I'm even careful about it.
The very first time that DH changed DS's diaper in the hospital he pooped and peed all over as he did it. Haha. It was pretty funny. Poor baby boy somehow peed on his own hat though.

My fffc is that my mom is coming to town today for the weekend to visit and even though I'm super excited to see her, I always get really nervous because she is a chain smoker and always reaks of smoke. I tell her she needs to change her shirt, wash before she hold him every time but she slowly started just washing her hands. When you hold a baby they are up against you so ds smells like smoke still and it makes me so sad. I normally don't give him a bath every day but I do when my mom is town and I tell her that that is what I normally do so I won't hurt her feelings anymore. I wish I could give him 3 baths per day when she is here.

My mom and stepfather are chain smokers and their house smells horribly of smoke. I went there with lo last week for a visit and though they don't smoke in the house while we are there when we left she smelled so strongly of it. I gave her a bath the instant I got home and was just so upset. There is nothing I can do about it, I have talked to them before and nothing gets through, but I know how you feel.

I totally get how hectic and crazy it can be in the morning before work- especially now with a baby, omg, but...could you put your makeup in the car once you've arrived at work, like in the parking lot or something? Might not take too long and definitely 100% safer
