Re: FFFC
And I feel bad about that.
I'll go.
I'm a dirty lurker on proboards. I feel like I'm spying on people. I can't remember if I made a screenname when all the shiz went down and I am too lazy to try to remember it.
I sorta have a crush on Reed Timmer the extreme meteorologist. It is not for his looks it is for his personality. He is so aggressive, something DH is not.
I told her she was a self righteous biitch and hung up. Really? What I did wrong to give my kid reflux and colic? Because that is what you say to a mother? Wow.
I am glad that Alastair is healthy even though I drank coke while pregnant with him too.
Also, I am glad it is just reflux. Imagine he had something worse?aybe a genetic disorder? I cannot imagine what kind of bs I would hear about that and how furious I would get then.
Nita, thank GOD that woman lives on another continent.
Mine is that C never wears jeans. I always have him in sweats. The only exception was that he wore khaki's for his Santa pictures. It started when he was around 5 months and was too chubby for any sort of jeans. I felt bad because he looked so uncomfortable. Now that he's thinned down, I suppose that I could start jeans again.

Oh my goodness... That's just wrong, Im so sorry! You did nothing to give Aidan reflux or colic. I felt guilty after L was born, thinking I did something to him to cause all his problems. It took a long time to try rid of that guilt but I've learn that some kids are just harder than others.
As for your other FFFC. I told my DH a while ago if DS had been born 1st he may have been an only child. We thought my DD was difficult, until her brother came along. DS is/was HARD!! Like pull your hair out, screaming hard. And at 15 months old its only gotten sighted easier. He's still not STTN consistently.
My FFFC: If DS had been like my DD we would have already had a 3rd. It's because of my DS and his issues and high maintenance attitude that we have to be done. It kinda makes me really sad that I was forced into this decision, but if I got another kid like my DS (who I love to pieces) I'd surely go insane. It's not worth the risk.
I'm glad that someone else finds it acceptable to eat a cookie before 10am ... I have some validation now! I ate 2 chocolate chip cookies yesterday after breakfast.. I was hungry! haha
My confession is that L has become pretty addicted to watching sesame street videos on youtube. I used to just let her watch them while she drank her milk in the morning, but now when I close the computer, she has a temper tantrum. At first it was funny, but now I'm nervous that she doesn't want to do anything else. I have to literally hide the computer so she forgets about it, and start playing with something else to divert her attention. It's obviously my fault but some days I'm just too damn tired to deal with the temper tantrums, so I give in. Bad mommy.
DH is also not aggressive at all. He's so calm and indecisive, which is the opposite of me. I guess that's what balances us, but I guess I would confess to wanting more aggression from him. I mean, he trains in MMA for fck's sake. Let's see some of that elsewhere!
I dislike jeans on babies. I have never seen a baby in a pair of actual jeans that looks even remotely comfortable and they never fit properly and 99% of the time they look cheap. Lo has leggings that look like skinny jeans but no actual jeans.
Define 'elsewhere'...
My kids rarely wear anything besides jeans. If I put them in sweat pants or the like I feel like they look sloppy. I love them in jeans! My DD and DS have been wear jeans practically everyday since 3 months old and they aren't the slightest bit uncomfortable. I love me some baby jeans!
I woke up at 4am and didn't go back to sleep worrying about the appointment today with the geneticist. I am so scared on what the ultrasound is going to show. My DH is trying to be supportive from long distance, but it isn't the same.
I can say that as many years ago that I left Minnesota to see the world by myself, I haven't been as alone as I have been being a military spouse. Driving myself with my toddler to the emergency room in the wee hours of the night last Saturday really put it into perspective. I cannot wait to be on the plane out of here on Thursday.
I don't know how you do it as a military spouse. I commend you and I respect your bravery. Sorry you are feeling so alone! Always know you have us crazy bishes! Good luck today! *hugs*
(((((((((((hugs))))))))))))
(It won't let me bold the words 'look sloppy')
I know! That's why I feel bad, I really don't want him to look sloppy. I think that it's his shape, we have tons of jeans passed down to us, and literally they all look like they were cutting into him and he didn't have free range of motion. I should try it again.
I agree with all of this especially the bolded. I have absolutely no idea how all you military spouses do it, I certainly couldn't. So you are already stronger than the majority of other spouses out there :-) Good luck today at your appt, I'll be thinking about you!
i realized after I posted this that I should have mention that I think MY kids look sloppy, not everyone's kids. Not trying to offend.
Honestly, its hard finding jeans to fit my DS. He's short but has this big huge belly. He's 18m in the belly but only 12m in length. It's a challenge, but I really like how my kids look in jeans so its worth it to me. A little button up shirt and jeans of my DS is so freakin' cute IMO!!
I am sorry you are feeling this way, hugs.
Yesterday I had a resses peanut butter tree and and a snickers nutcracker for breakfast and pizza for lunch.I wish I could have the same meal today.
I can't imagine how this must feel. Keep us updated on your appointment today. We're thinking of you.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this
T&P's
This! ((((Hugs)))) DH has been gone a week and I'm going insane. I can imagine being on my own for an extended period of time like you military wives. You are all so strong!
Lily woke up ten minutes ago from her nap, but she's cooing and talking to herself and happy so I haven't gone to get her yet. Instead, I've been sitting here bumping.
Also, every time I start practicing my presentation for my interview this afternoon or thinking about what questions they'll ask, I get so nervous I start to feel sick. So I go clean or cook or pack instead. I'm starting to worry that I'm going to seem unprepared (I'm not; DH and I went over questions last night and I've planned out my presentation) and I really should have used my time better.

True story!
In the kitchen. :::insert genitalia food reference here:::
Stop spying on me!! We all know it's still a public forum, but I share more personal info there sometimes because there are fewer posters and it feel more intimate. You are more than welcome to post on DWP, the more the merrier!
I know how you feel. My inlaws are such a bore and I feel, we'll let's say felt, like I had to show how great I am and it's exhausting. I say felt because I've pretty much stopped caring. They get what they get. Luckily we've got out of seeing them recently cuz someone is always sick. FFC is that LO has a slight fever and might be getting sick or just teething. Could be another "reason" we can't see them this weekend.

I have another one. DH wants to send me for a day to this spa. It's gorgeous there. I don't want to go.
It is far away, I don't want to go for a whole day and it is expensive. I also don't want to go alone. And I feel like I will be back and it will be chaos at home and then the relaxation was for nothing.
I love him for the idea but I just really don't want to.
Nita, DS had bad reflux (was on Prevacid from week 6, on annd while it helped a bit, it didn't fix things). He was a nightmare until about 5 months old. I wanted so badly to feel all of those things everyone always told me about. That unconditional love, etc. but through my fog and sleepless, baby-screaming haze, I found it almost impossible to feel those things. I just wanted some peace and a tiny bit of sleep. And to be able to snuggle my newborn quietly and peacefully...like I was going to do in my head before he was born.
But once he got past the reflux, he was the calmest, happiest, most easygoing little guy EVER. And I listened to all of my friends talk about how difficult their toddlers were while smiling and playing with mine. And thatunconditional love and adoration of my little guy did happen. He is my world (well, 1/2 of my world now). I think reflux and colic babies end up more mellow and resilient b/c they dealt with so much pain and discomfort early on. Just my experience. You will get through this and it is OK to be frustrated and upset. You wouldn't be human if you didn't.
And I went on to have a sweet, non-reflux-y baby girl afterward...who is an active and "into everything", whining toddler.
They all change so quickly!
My FFFC is that DH and I have date night tonight (my parents are babysitting) and I am so excited to not have to do daycare pickup with 2 crabby kids, prepping dinner they refuse to eat and dealing with meltdowns that I wore my date night clothes to work so that I don't even have to stop by home and risk getting stuck there.
I'm jealous of your day.
My confession is that I don't love my SD in the same way as I love my son. I don't have that bond with her. I feel bad but I can't force that type of love. I think she can tell this and is hurt by it. I'm terrified that DH will find out and be super upset. I also fear that the relationship I have with her will wear down on my marriage.
I do love her and will do anything for her, but that deep connection is not there.
Maybe thank him and suggest he keep that idea on hold for a few months until things settle down a little more? You certainly could use the relaxation, but if it's actually going to stress you out then it's a waste.

Lisa, I wish you the very best at your appointment and agree with PP that you are very strong to go it alone. I will be keeping my fingers crossed that everything with baby is absolutely wonderful and will be keeping you in my T & Ps. Hugs to you! Have a good time on your trip too.
In regard to the jeans posts: We only buy DS's jeans from Old Navy. They fit really good, look extremely cute on him, have an elastic waist band and are loose fitting through the hips and legs so he has plenty of mobility. I also like that they are inexpensive as I refuse to buy him expensive jeans that will only fit for a couple of months. My Mom bought him jeans from Walmart and they are way too big in the waist and fall down. I bought some shirt/pant combos from Zulily and those jeans are extremely tight in the legs and rear and it looks like he is going to split them up the rear any minute.
