I have a friend who is being induced today, a week early due to low fluid volume.

I'm jealous because I really really don't want to be pregnant anymore. I have a little over 5 weeks left. Blargh.

ETA: my friend's daughter Mila arrived just a little while ago.

I love other peoples' new squishes, but I loathed when N was a newborn. I have a bit of guilt about it, too. The colic was awful, and I was so glad when she grew out of it. I love having a toddler now.

Sometimes when Violet has a poo diaper I lie and say she had one earlier that day too. This makes DH feel obligated to change her!

Been there, done that.

I confess that I could do more around this place while baby sleeps. But I tell my husband that the baby has been cluster feeding all day so I have to sit with her and just watch TV.

I do this too, but the likelihood of N pooping more than once a day is pretty high. She's my little poop monster.

Dh finally got an interview for 2 different jobs he's been hoping for. The pay would probably be 10k more per year at least. I am really hoping he gets one of them, but for my own selfish reasons.
At his current job he will have Fridays and Saturdays off in July so i can go back to work those 2 days. If he gets a new job, I wont be able to get to work.
What a shame, I'd have to quit.

Obviously if that did happen I'd give my 2 weeks notice... i wouldn't screw my employer over like that.

Shannon526 · June 2013

Oh i have another..
H has an intolerance to dairy and soy, so I've eliminated that from my diet. I feel guilty for even thinking this, but part of me just wants to give her formula so that i can eat "normal" again.
I guess i just never realized how many foods have dairy and/or soy in them. I just want the coconut almond ice cream from our local ice cream joint, is that too much to ask? :P

I totally do this too.

I have been barfy and exhausted the last couple weeks. When I am home with C for the most part I just lay on the couch and put on the tv. He is really good about independent play, so it's not like he just sits in front of the tv like a zombie. His play room is in the den, so he really can't even see it while he's playing. I felt terrible yesterday and I had the day off and laid around all day. C started singing with some of the music on the shows he was watching. Probably a sign it is on entirely too much. I feel like a bad mom for not doing more activities with him. Poor baby.

We're visiting family in our hometown in July. My dad reached out to see if we could come to his house one of the days that weekend. I'm trying to avoid it because I can't stand his 16 year old son (my 1/2 brother).

I should be more mature but if I have to skip out on visits with my dad to stay away from a teenaged jock/homophobe stereotype, I'm okay with it.

You have to do what you have to do to survive it. I envy woman who just have a little morning sickness. I wish.

When I was PG with Vi I was a zombie... I was so sick. Then we moved in with my parents waiting to close on our house and my kids got so close with my mom and it hurt. I like that they are close with my mom but it was like she was mom for all those months.

I completely know how you feel, Tysons. I whined to my mom about what a lousy mother I was being when I was in first tri and could only lie on the couch while Lily played around me. Thank goodness she's always been good at independent play! I say just be thankful C likes TV. I tried to get Lily to watch some Sesame Street at that point, but she had no interest. She's only now starting to like watching Blue's Clues. Do what you have to in order to get through the icky parts, and make the most of the moments when you do have energy to play/read with him. He's happy and safe in the meantime, and that's all that matters.

My confession is going to sound awful, and requires some explanation. I hope my granny passes away soon. She just had her 90th birthday. She moved into a home back in September and going to visit her regularly is taking its toll on my grandpa's health (he's almost 94, still goes to work every day, etc.). She's mostly miserable, in huge amounts of pain, and very demanding. At New Year's she told us that she prays every night to die and the only thing that makes her life worth living is seeing Lily (we live 2.5 hours away, so she only sees her about once a month maximum). Right now Lily loves her and the two have fun, but in another year or two I'm afraid Lily will find her scary (most kids who see her are scared of her and I would have been terrified of her as a child). I don't want either of them to experience that, I want her to pass with the two of them still loving and enjoying each other. I feel guilty for feeling this way, but I honestly do think it would be better for everyone involved if she went soon.

I get what you're saying, here. Sometimes, passing brings peace for everyone. I'm glad, for now, that she and Lily have a wonderful relationship. We don't all get to meet our great grandparents (and most of us won't meet our great grand children). It is such a gift that they have been able to spend time together.

Oh I actually have a confession! So I am a week and a bit late for my period, I have taken 3 HPT and all 3 BFN.... So I find myself googling every chance I can to see if I can still e pregnant after 3 negative tests. I feel like on of those TTGP newbies asking over and over... Could I still be pregnant!
I know obviously I just had a wonky cycle this month and have stopped testing after the 3rd BFN, but I can't help but hope I am an exception to the rule!

Watching a family member in pain, just waiting to die is hard! I am glad that lily gets to have a relationship with her!

ETA: Omg I just went to the So Delicious website and I'm drooling.. they have a coconut almond chip ice cream! I think I'm in Heaven.

My confession Is I am happy my Fil is in the joint.

my Fil got arrested yesterday for what I don't know but I'm Sure he desrves it.

He is a nice guy when he is sober and a complete butthead when he is drinking.

The best part is he is well off and a snob at times so this should bring him down a notch I hope.

I'm such a bitach

My mom watches DD during the day and DD is so close to her, it's definitely like my mom is her mom. The other day DD woke up from a nap and cried for 20 minutes because she wanted my mom (my mom had run to the store.)

My mom says that I was like that with the daycare lady when I was DD's age though. Ugh it definitely make me feel awful though when DD does it to me.

N knows some of the songs from her Signing Times, and I don't even have tired pregnancy excuse. I'm not really even sorry she does. She plays during the show, and it allows me to get some housework done too. Or sometimes even poop without company! Regardless, it sounds like he has a balance of play time, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I totally know that feeling and it's kind of bittersweet for me. I love that my mom and L have such a great relationship, but sometimes it feels like I'm second best .. which honestly, at times, isn't that bad. It is nice to have a break from L .. is that bad??
