confession time

I totally suck at taking the "I'm ___ months old" pictures and have not taken a single one on the correct day. I also don't always use baby wipes during a diaper change when she has only peed (If I'm really tired).
Okay, your turn:

Re: confession time
Some times I skip the wipes too on both my 2u2.
And I eat chocolate every day most days three times a day!! Also some times I let lo cry if I just have to deal with something or someone else.
I still haven't made any progress on getting my daughter baptized.
It's not that her baptism isn't important to me - it is. But she's the first grandchild on both sides of the family, and I know our families will turn it into a big, stressful ordeal and there will be a huge blowup if we don't find a date that works for every extended family member to come in. Just like our wedding. Ugh.
So I keep ignoring it.
I wish we could just have it done on a random Sunday at Mass with just us and her Godparents, but that's not going to fly.
I am thrilled the DH helps with the baby, especially in the mornings when we are in a rush to get out the door to work/daycare, but I am secretly jealous/mad that he has all this "time" to play with her while I am running around like a mad woman getting bottles together, pump together, me dressed, LO dressed, lunches made, clothes ironed.
Also, when I am alone and AFTER I have BF/pumped, I will go outside on occasion and smoke.
I haven't taken 'month' pictures...ever...with either girl, oops! But I am slowly becoming a fulltime photographer (waiting until I am done nursing) and I am constantly taking pics of the girls.
My Blog on PPD and life in general**
I pretend not to hear LO poop in the morning. After I changed her sleep diaper and feed her, she always poops again, and I just let it stay there for the short drive to daycare. We're usually about to leave the house anyway, so I pretend it happens in the car.
The first sentence made me LOL!
Exactly.
As for my own confession, I shower every other day, and sometimes I skip shaving if I am home alone with LO. I put him in his bouncer in the bathroom doorway, and keep my shower door open to watch him. I have about 10-15 minutes max with him in there and not getting fussy since he's outgrowing the thing. I take loooooong showers and can only do so when DH is home to watch LO.
This is my guilt too...
Same here. I try it about once a week now that I am back to work. And then it is just a couple of minutes if at all.

LOL. I have done this too with my DD. If she pooped or peed a full diaper right on our way out the door to daycare I pretended it happened on the way too. Hey, when your in a hurry who cares.
I am not doing great with this either. I am sure I can find a couple minutes in my evening to do it but I really am busy every second it feels like. When we do get a breather to do it, DS gets cranky because he wants to go to bed. We do it more on weekends when there is more time. He still hates it though.
My second confession: Work feels like vacation. I'm on easier projects than before maternity leave. And, I'm happy I'm at work he's in daycare. I felt like a bad SAHM at the end of my leave. I was always guilty I didn't get anything done around the house. I felt like I needed to cook from scratch every night keep it clean. But I'd rather just play with care for DS. When I was doing one, I always felt I should be doing the other. Now that I'm back at work, I miss him a TON, but I am paying people to care for him, play with him, etc. The daycare ladies love him, and take good care of him. The house is still a wreck, we eat frozen crap for dinner, but my guilt over it is nonexistent. I'm much more cut out to be a working mom than a SAHM. And I'm glad he's in daycare because as he grows he'll learn social skills, and we love that he is around children of all ethnic backgrounds. My child is mixed race.
DD is a tummy sleeper too. She can now roll from her back to belly on occassion, but she's been sleeping on her tummy for a month now.
DD has slept on her belly from the time that she turned 4 weeks. She went from 20 minute naps to 2 hour ones.
She's always had a pretty strong neck and could turn her head while on her belly by then, so I wasn't too worried.
I don't think they start getting fun until at least a year. I'm not a newborn person. I love the 18 - 24 month age. The difference in my DD from 15 months to 18 months is night and day.
I still wear my maternity pants on occasion...they are just so much more comfortable. Sometimes I wish I was pregnant again for the sole purpose of having a good excuse to wear maternity clothes.
Also, if DD is asleep in her carseat from the drive home from work/daycare, I sometimes leave her in her seat in the middle of the floor to nap while I get dinner started and some other things done.
This one was from before DD started sleeping through the night. DD used to get up twice a night, and since DH gets up earlier than me, he would take the first feeding and I would take the second feeding. This way he could get back to sleep for a few hours before getting up for work. Well at some point DD only started getting up once a night, and I didn't tell DH. So he would get up for his turn thinking that I was getting up later, but in reality I was getting a full night's sleep.
this is so sneaky... but yet, so FUNNY! haha!
