Anyone?
Let's see....
I had 3 brownies for breakfast this morning.
I stayed late at work 2 nights this week on purpose because DD is being a pill and I wanted to avoid the pre-bedtime melt downs.
We're moving ahead with adoption, but I'm slacking on getting all of the paperwork done. Although I know adoption is the right choice for us, and we feel called to do it, I'm starting to really process the fact that I won't have another pregnancy & it's making me sad. Silly, I know.
Re: FFFC, UO, vents, etc etc
It's not silly to feel that way, it's natural! Its totally different, but I stayed in my first bad marriage for too long bc I wanted more children. When I finally decided that being happy was more important for both me and dc, I def had to go through a mourning period about not having any more kids. So I get it. And now look at me... A June baby and another on the way. So I don't know your story but just because you're adopting does not mean the door is closed forever on more bio children [unless there is more to it].
Anyway, big props to you for adopting... It's a huge financial and emotional and time commitment. Hats off!
My uo is that I can't wait to get my life back after I have this last baby. I know I should feel so great full, etc, and I totally do... But after the last 2 years being either pregnant, nursing or ttc, I am so ready to be done. The thought of having energy or feeling fit again seems so far away. Pity party for one!
Also my new bmb is so full of bsc that it's like, enough already. Makes the old Alicia and her pedophile loving friend drama seem like nothing!
DH is done having bio kids, for a variety of reasons. I am super excited about adding to our family through adoption, it's something we both knew we wanted to pursue whether or not we could have bio kids. And I have been so blessed to have had an easy pregnancy, short & complication-free L&D, and a healthy baby. But I am kind of mourning a future pregnancy, which is so....first world problem-ish. So I hear you on the "pity party for one"!
LOL at your new BMB, any accusations of fake pregnancies yet?

My vent, while little, is that they came out with a new Hawaiin punch coupon and my computer failed to print one of them so now I'm stuck with 3, 2 from DH's computer and 1 from mine, and the store I shop at usually has B1G1 free deals which you can use coupons on the free item. WHY or WHY did my computer have to fail me this morning! ahhhh lol
My FFFC is that last night I used the excuse that I was tired to get out of sex so I could read the new Sookie Stackhouse book tee hee
My husband REALLY likes when I read those books. I would be reading to get in the mood. I havent read the last 2 books, but I saw a tiger tail which made me really excited! I need to catch up.
All I got is that my favorite vibe broke and Im bummed about it
DH just found out yesterday that he will be getting A LOT more responsibility at work which most likely also means a promotion/raise!---YAY! To the point that we could pay off our cars, and if I work until we decide to have our next LO, I could eventually be a SAHM!
This is what we have been working towards since DS was born--so I am hoping everything works out--it would be so great. Then when the kids are older I could work part-time like substitute teach or sell my crafts...It still seems so surreal!
OU: My mom a retired hairdresser wants to cut DS's hair for his first haircut, and even though I told her I needed to get it cut before his birthday and she was fine with it, she is coming up this weekend and I think she wants to cut it (originally it was b/c we weren't going to see her before DS's birthday--at least that was the excuse I gave her), so now I have to get it cut on Saturday--I know this seems sneaky, but I have a GREAT reason (actually 2). First she used to cut may hair and put way too much "motherly" influence into my styles and I never got what I wanted, and 2 she has a medical condition that causes her to be unsteady and I know she would feel terrible if she accidentally nicked DS--especially since he doesn't sit still. So I think this is best for everyone to get it cut by someone who specializes in baby haircuts!
DD still naps on me. She is so hard to put to sleep and I nurse her to nap and we just stay on the couch.
Flame away! But if you would meet her, you would see how hard she is.
Having more than one, and knowing how quick they grow up, I always let LO sleep on me. I treasure those times. So no flames frm me!
I had a miscarriage not this week but last. I was/am pretty sad about it. My husband is active duty military, so we have Tricare for insurance. I was approximately 8 weeks pregnant at the time of the mc. I called in to my primary care manager's office, and they said the wouldn't see me for any OB matters. I was also told I couldn't see an OB because I didn't have a referral. I had a made a previous apt to get a referral the FOLLOWING day. They told me to go to the ER if I was concerned. I was bleeding heavily. There was no doubt about mc. I knew the only thing the ER could do for me was an ultrasound to tell me that I am miscarrying. Plus, the last time I went to the urgent care, they sent me a bill. After calling my insurance, they told me I didn't have a referral. I gave them
the referral number I had received prior. Next, they said it was a deductible. Hello!!!! We don't have a deductible with our insurance. I sill haven't been to a doctor. What's the point now?
During the time of my mc, my sister got arrested for possession of meth. I told my mom I didn't want to hear anymore about my sister. It's always one thing after the next. Also, she has two children, who are not even allowed to see her. My heart breaks for them. Anyways, my Gpa sends me an email two days ago. There's only a picture attached, nothing in the subject or body of the email. I open the email, and there's a photo of my sister hooked up to all sorts of machines in a
hospital. WHO SENDS THAT SORT OF EMAIL?!?! I love my grandfather but really? It was terribly upsetting for a variety of reasons.
Lastly, my FFFC...
Last night I ate a huge thing of nachos
and cheese and washed it down with Jack Daniels. It made me feel all sorts of whiskey tango.
Thanks for letting me vent!
DS did for a couple months and then one day he let me put him in the crib. That lasted about a month and he's been napping on me for probably the last 2 months. And you know what? Now that I'm back to work PT, I look forward to snuggling up with DS and nursing him to sleep for his afternoon nap. I just sit back in bed and read and watch DS and he sleeps great. I really look forward to it as a nice break in our day and a way to "connect" with a crazy busy baby. And don't really care what anyone says!
So sorry Sam! Ts & Ps for you
Not at all flameworthy! Whatever works to give your baby the sleep she needs : )
So sorry Sam
I am sorry. I hope things get easier soon.
Sigir, I feel the same way. I've been counting down the days of this pregnancy for quite a while now...only 91 days left (I'm scheduled for an RCS at 39w, so my ticker is actually off by a week). When are you due?
IVF #1: 9/11: ER: 12R, 11M, 10F, No Frosties; 5dt: 2 blasts, 1 morula; DD born 6/3/12
IVF #2: 11/12-12/12: ER: 20R, 20M, 16F, 4 Frosties; 5dt: 3 blasts, DS born 8/9/13
I am currently home alone to clean my house with no H or DD. I love the quiet! I hope I get a couple more hours alone.
I hate how DH puts his laundry beside the laundry basket and not in it. My brain can't compute why he can't just drop it in the stupid basket....
This is not a FFFC or a UO...but I was in an earthquake today! It was the strongest one I have ever felt... a 5.1 I think.
i do the same...DS has never ever taken a nap alone...and I nurse to sleep as well..
So sorry for your loss!
I dont BF anymore, but DD has a bottle to sleep every nap and every night. She falls asleep in my arms first and then I put her in her crib. If she wakes up and cant get back to sleep, I bring her to bed with me. Its working so I am not planning on changing it until she changes it herself!
Dang! Maybe I need to read those books
Kara was having a hard time sleeping last night, and I rocked her to sleep for the first time in months. I totally fell asleep in the chair with her for like an hour. I miss the cuddles!
If you dont mind a ridiculous story line, a chick who just wont die, lots and lots of sex with things that dont exist, and really hot bald guys who turn into tigers then it could totally be your thing!
It's what True Blood is (loosely) based on
Our LOs are twins from different moms LOL
I am so sorry for your loss. My confession is that I still cry about my miscarriage when I am alone in my car, especially. It was a month ago and really hit me hard. I wish I had something happier to post.

So so sorry!
Sorry for your loss. And sorry you have deal with so much insurance crap. I know how annoying that can be. Take care!
If you want to read some real exotic and trashy books I suggest reading the Moon series by Rebecca York. The series is mainly about werewolves but they throw in some witches and dragons and other demensions lol The sex scenes are VERY descriptive and are much more steamy than the Sookie Stackhouse series lol I've read the whole series and re read them often.
100 % the same here.
I don't care since shes only a baby once and I love my snuggles
First we had eachother.5.27.11
Then we had you.6.16.12
Now we have everything.
