No FFFC ?!?!

You guys been slackin'. It's 0900 and I am shocked no one is confessing their sins yet.

So, get on it.

I was just thinking the same thing! It's usually up by 5am. Here's mine, it's not too juicy. I actually respond to a lot more post than it shows, I just don't submit it. I always second guess what I want to say and wonder if it's 'dumb' or a kid needs something and I put down my phone/ipad/laptop and when I come back, it's been awhile, so I just don't post.

melmarie26 · January 2013

I'm confessing to be a hot mess. I'm trying so bad to pull myself outta this funk. I feel sorry for my family, or anyone who has to deal with me really. I'm kinda "flat" if that makes sense. Waiting on Baby James official CT results is making me nutty.

I made baby food for the first time in a long time. It wasn't so bad. I had leftover chicken breasts with brown rice from last nights dinner. I added the pole beans we steamed earlier in the week and some pears. Cooked it all together on the stove into a mash and then processed the heck out of it with the Ninja. They ate it this morning and actually liked it.

The confession part of it is that, since I feed them at the same time, I use the same spoon, cup/bowl for the pair of them. Spit and all. They're always stealing each others binky anyways. Whatever.

Here's a picture of my sweet boy yesterday. The CT tech was loving on him. Cute.

Oh please. Who cares? I post the craziest of stuff. No ones seems to care. And why be so self aware? We're just tiny people living in your computer. Stick out tongue

xxbabycakesxx · January 2013

I still take my kids out even though its -40 deg C here. In my defense, we're not playing outside or anything. I'm just talking about trips to the store. And they're of course bundled up properly.
When I mentioned this to my mom she was shocked and appalled that I would leave the house with them in this weather. The next day we went out again lol.

Melrae10 · January 2013

I have two:

I think high boots over skinny jeans looks dumb down here in Texas where it really isn't necessary because it almost never snows or gets very cold. It looks really hot and sweaty and like the person is trying too hard. The image of a someone fly fishing always comes to mind. . . .

I have no plans of getting Gracie out of our bed anytime soon despite my husband reminding me that she is almost 6 months which was the time we agreed we would transition her to her crib. She is still just sooo little to me. And I loves me some snuggles!!!

I guess the first one is more of a UO.

I know, it's totally dumb. For some reason, after this baby I've been so self concious about EVERYTHING, even what total strangers think. I've decided IDGAF. Bishes gonna know what I think. Indifferent

Those aren't good confessions because there's nothing wrong with them.

I don't know why you'd bother with different spoons and such unless one was sick and even then, the other one's just going to get it anyway.

And I think you're handling the thing with James wonderfully. You're a mom. How are you supposed to feel?

thepretzelchick · January 2013

Okay, it's not salacious, but here it is.

After his morning bottle, Elijah wanted to play in my bed. AF came yesterday and I feel like crud and just want to sleep, so I put him back in his crib. He's currently giggling at the seahorse as he pounds on seahorse's stomach, so I don't really feel guilty.

CandLind · January 2013

Here's mine. My husband sex drive is like a teenage boys, he is always in the mood. Since having Pres I am never in the mood, uh I could be doing things like cleaning, showering oh or SLEEPING. So most of the time I fake it, you know the big O so I can go on with my day. Like this morning when he woke me up out of a dead sleep!

See!!! Even my FFFC suck!!! Lol, jk Baker. You got a point I guess.

I think I'm more funky about the whole super early m/c. To the point of I don't even want to think about having sex until I get the Assure sterilization procedure. I had no idea how sad that would be. And I didn't even have a "physical baby" on the u/s screen or when I passed the gestational sac. My heart really goes out to the many women this has happened to. Many of which I have cared for over the years in my own ER.

Crossingfingers · January 2013

Carson got up for the day at 5:30. At 6 I just needed a little more time to pretend like I was going to get some more sleep. I put him in the living room on a blanket with some toys and some cartoons on and I went back to bed. He played by himself for about 40 minutes and I got to stay in bed. Win/win as long as you don't count his brain melting to mush from the television.

I'm 33 and I've never bought a decent item of furniture.

My roots are showing and I have no plan to fix that in the near future. It makes me not want to go in public.

JayandEmm · January 2013

I don't understand the Ugg boots trend. They look like house shoes, I mean there's no structure, and ffs, they have a foam sole.

I especially hate it when people wear them in the summer with shorts or a mini skirt. It's like they're confused at what season it is.

Yep, same here. I feel so deceptive but, I don't want to hurt his feelings either. I mean, who could keep up with that kind of sex drive anyway?

1) I am a closet junk food eater...literally. DH is a health nut, so last week I got some cookies from Whole Foods (that makes them somewhat healthy, right?) and sat in a closet eating them while he took care of DS. The goal was to avoid getting lectured yet again on why cookies and other sweets are so bad for us, a bad example for DS, etc. I just wanted to enjoy my cookies in peace. Unfortuantely, I was busted. Yes, he totally caught me sitting there on the floor with one hand in the box and chocolate smeared all over my face, with a deer in headlights expression on my face. I got two lectures: one on junk food and one on not trying to hide things from loved ones. Confused

2) Sometimes when nobody is watching, I stick out what's left of my deflated baby bump and pretend I'm preggo again, just for kicks.

I'm 33 too! You got plenty of time to get decent furniture. Wait until after Howell is finished drawing on stuff! I didn't get anything nice until my youngest at the time was 5 yrs old.

You're worried about roots? Get a box of color.

brandyleighxx · January 2013

Since I am now working PT and DH accepted a job making less - we are going to be very strapped financially here pretty soon. I think I got a little too spoiled by all my time off and really don't want to work anymore than I do. I was out for 7 weeks then returned 3 days a week (M, T, F 8am-3pm) whereas before I worked M, T, TH, F 8am-6:30pm and 2 Sats per month from 8-noon. Also with holidays, snow days, & sick days - I've been home with him even more. I love this schedule and how much time I get to spend with him and I don't want to give it up, even though we could really benefit from me having extra income.

Don't you live in Texas or somewhere it's usually warmish? Why would anyone need them at all there?

cedenton · January 2013

DS woke up a little at 4:30. We're still learning what to do with spontaneous wake-ups as we've been used to us waking him up. I patted him back to sleep. He slept until 5:10, then I tried rocking him back to sleep and he sort've dozed on me for a while. When I finally fed him at 6:30 I realized I should have fed him at 4:30. As soon as he realized he was going to get fed he got pissed (this is normal for him) waiting to get the bottle and whenever I had to take it out of his mouth (burping). WHY does my kid have no hunger cues unless he's already about to be fed?? And I'm not the only one who has remarked on his lack of hunger cues.

New rule...If he wakes up before 5:30 he gets fed no matter what.

I had another one, but now I can't remember it.

ETA: I remember now. There is nothing warmer than skinny jeans and boots (not Uggs). DH and I have a big date night tomorrow night and we'll be walking around downtown in 25 degree weather. I WILL be wearing my skinny jeans and boots!!

CoUnTryBB1 · January 2013

I told SO when he went to bed I was going to wash bottles and then come to bed. Lies I tell you all Lies! I waited for him to go to bed put on some really bad tv and got comfortable on the couch. I had zero intentions of washing bottles or getting in the bed. He snores so loud and he has been congested. I just wanted to sleep without his noise or the baby monitor in my ear. No worries ladies LO was in the room beside me so I would hear her. Which I did this morning and just laid on the couch. I knew SO would get up because the monitor is so much louder. He changed her and was all like "you didn't come to bed, you must be so tired" Yep sure am . . . then he washed the bottles. Ahhhhh

HeartsOnABand · January 2013

Yesterday the sitter, who is also a very close friend, asked if I wanted to go to lunch during my lunch break. I lied and told her I had a meeting with a client because I knew I would end up holding DS the whole time and eat 3 bites of my food. With this week Ive had, momma needs a break.

I did that on Tuesday. I almost came on here to tattle on myself but I was too embarrassed. Also, I'm a big Yankee who has never had sweet potato pie. I'm putting that on my list of things to do in 2013. Make a sweet potato pie. Maybe I'll do it on March 14.

This is going to be pretty flameful.

Everytime I tell someone or post that I have 2500 ounces hanging out in the freezer, they tell me to donate it. NO. EPing is hard as sh!t and most of this milk is from the first three months when I was having to get up every 2 hours to feed him, rock him, and then stay up another 30 minutes to pump and fill bottles. By the time I got back to bed, I would have 30 minutes to sleep. My kid isn't done BFing and I don't know if he'll go though all 2500 of these ounces, but I'm sure going to try like hell to make sure he does. If we have some left over when he's done BFing from what I'm freezing now, then of course I'll donate it...but right now, there's no way I'm giving any of this hard earned milk away. I cringe just thinking about it. Maybe I'm selfish, but unless you EP, I don't think you could fully understand.

My husband's old dog can no longer make it through the night, or day, without going to the bathroom in the house. I got tired of dealing with it since I am the first one awake in the morning and the first one home at night. I now leave the mess for him until he wakes up, and during the day the dog is locked in the bathroom and I leave the mess in there too until he gets home (I do let the dog out of the bathroom though). I don't care if it is gross - I am so tired of cleaning up after the stupid dog.

Nothing flameful about this as far as I'm concerned. EP'ing is hard and 2500 oz means you can stop pumping at some point and he'll still be EBF which is awesome.

I'm glad you didn't have to throw it out like you though with MSPI stuff. Whatever ended up happening with the suspected MSPI and the gastro doc? Did Sergio start feeling better?
