Today's confessions

Mine is that I went to my yearly check-up at the gyno today and felt a little disappointed that the nurses didn't really seem to remember me or ask to see pictures of DS. I felt like I bonded with a few of them when I was having to go in all the time when I was PG.

Re: Today's confessions
When DH was getting ready for work this morning, he felt a crack/pop in his foot and it started hurting really badly any time he put weight on it. He thinks he broke a small bone in his foot but refuses to do anything but take Advil for it. Thus, I refuse to feel sorry for him and expect to lose my temper on him by the time I go to bed tonight.

I've been guilty of that too! DH doesn't even know what he has!
My confession is that a girl I work with told me yesterday that she is KU. She has a little boy who was born 3 weeks before CK... I didn't really like being KU at the same time as her last year, because she's SO negative and always wants to compare. And now, I'm honestly bummed that (a) she got KU before me, on her first try (we've been trying since May) and (b) if, fingers crossed, I do get KU soon, we'll once again be pregnant at the same time.
Also, today ANOTHER co-worker told me she is pregnant.
Blah.
It's so selfish of me to feel such jealousy (of course I am excited FOR them, and act that way to their faces!) and also so high school-ish of me to be so petty.
And as y'all know I'm all woe-is-me about my motherfrucking ankle, so I'm just a ball of fun these days.
Seriously I just took 48 pairs of pants to good will yesterday. 14 of them had never been worn and 6 of them still had tags on them.
He was the one who told me to go through his pants and throw them all out, he has 4-6 pairs that he wears.
I've been getting sick and it's bad today. My asthma is acting up due to chest congestion, I have a headache, a runny nose and a sore throat. On top of that, I must have gotten a fresh batch of pregnancy hormones or something, because I am so irritable and moody.
Because of all this, I've been short and frustrated with DD. She is going through a major whiny, temper tantrum prone phase and it's driving me up a wall. I just feel like I don't have it in me today and I feel like a terrible mother. It's not her fault I'm sick and pregnant and crabby and yet I feel like she's paying the price. I want to cry.
awww, I am sorry you're feeling that way. You're not a crappy mom though. You're a wonderful mom. If it makes you feel better, DD has been acting the same way you described your DD. Last night she woke up and screamed until we got her out of bed. For about an hour I tried read to her and get her to sleep before just finally putting her in her crib and letting her cry. She was so exhausted, but refused to sleep. I am pretty sure I fell asleep before she did.
Last night I was putting chocolate pudding in our lunches when DH walked past:
So my confession is, this morning as I was getting us ready for work/school after DH left, I gave LBB one of the gummy pumpkins to see what he thought. Kid inhaled that sucker.
Here I go with the alphabetical bullets again...
a) If you are the guest, they should be paying for you
b) Even if you weren't the guest, IMO the parents should be paying for the kids' meals. Especially if you are a young family (which you are)
c) He wants to pay for their GAS?! Is he trying to impress them or something? And they LET HIM?
d) Girl, you are standing up for what's right, you deserve the best daughter-in-law award.
Thank you for saying all of that. This stage is amazing and fun a lot of the time, but it's also exhausting and very challenging!
We attempted to go to the movies over the weekend. When getting a popcorn & soda for H & I , I grabbed a packet of the fruit snacks for G. I mean, it "said" it was made with real fruit so doesn't that count for something ?!?!?

I like these daily confession posts.. my memory sucks recently, so this means I can't forget any!
My SIL is also KU and due only 2 days after me. She has her a/s scheduled for 11/6 and is super excited (obviously) ... I had my regular appt. today and when they were scheduling me for my a/s appt. they told me it would be 11/8. I lied and told the receptionist that I had something that day and if they had anything before then. I'm going on 11/5 instead. For some reason, I wanted to find out before my SIL. I feel so petty about this but whatever.. it's my confession for the day :-p
Just being pregnant while having to look after a 1 year old is exhausting, not to mention if you're feeling under the weather. My patience sometimes runs quite thin as well with L, and I feel awful. But keep reminding yourself that you're doing the best you can each day, and if you get a little moody, that's ok. It doesn't mean you love your DD any less :-)
I'm going to piggyback off of this. The other night DH and I were giving DS a bath. He farted in the water, a really long and loud one. We laughed and the laughter brought DD into the room. She then started to play in the bath water and filled a bath toy up with the water. Then she DRANK it. DH and I laughed so hard. We told her that she just enjoyed her first sip of fart water. I highly enjoy the fact that her favorite drink being fart water is now a running joke in our home. DD gets so pissed off, but I don't care.
I agree completely. We are pretty relaxed when it comes to clothing at my house. I'm a big believer in expressing yourself and learning ownership of your body. A kid should be able to strip and run freely in their own home, as should I.
Thanks. I just get so frustrated with him. I don't know why he wants to pay for everything. My parents never let us pay for anything, and I'm not saying we deserve everything to be paid for, but we shouldn't have to pay their part either. I did tell him when he got home that I wasn't trying to be rude, and he said he understood.
