I am becoming more and more of a hermit. Often times the only socializing I do is on TB or FB with my girlfrands. I don't even like answering the phone or texting people. I don't like making eye contact when I take Kendall on walks. I have started to become very anxious just making phone calls.

I'm usually a hermit.

This was totally my thought when you were asked what people think of the pole when they come over - "She has people over? People do that?"

And I _like_ socializing as long as it doesn't involve the phone. I hate the phone.

wordS? Emily sort of says cat, and it usually sounds more like tat. That's it. No mama no dada, barely waves, won't clap anymore. I figure shell get it all eventually, but sometimes I feel like I have the slow kid, her not being mobile doesn't help either.

Well, "lack of word" sounded odd. :-)

Me too, which is horrible because I've always been fairly anti-social. It takes a lot for me to get close to other people, and since I'm determined to be home by LO's bedtime every night it doesn't leave much time to do that. I also live in a college town, so many of the gfs I've made over the years move on within a couple years. It's just so much work to make more friends, and I'm worried that this is going to rub off on Charlie or affect her in some way.

I thought of another one... Since we have so much pregnancy talk anyway, I'm scared of getting pregnant again. Which is stupid. I feel like after almost a year we are finally in a groove. I didnt think it was possible to be a hormonal wreck for a whole year but it was. I feel like my old self. Minus the non stop working. I feel calm and relaxed now. We have a schedule, I get to exercise, we go lots of places, now I just need more friends to fill in the gaps. I'm torn between enjoying a calmer life for another year before TTC or just getting it over with now in hopes the kids will be close and play together. And then add my fertility issue in the mix and it makes it that much more complicated. Could be forever, could be quick, could be a million different things. Gaaah!

The other day i was out running errands all morning. With Frankie with me it's really hard to take a pee break so I held it in all morning with a large dd coffee in me. When I got home I had to pee so bad I was almost in pain. I pulled up in my driveway and dropped trou and pisssed right there. I've never been so happy to not have neighbors and live in the sticks in all my life!

You are the very best friend a girl could ever ask for. Thank you for being my self esteem fairy today! I needed it.

Thanks MM and cwm for the support! It turns out I'm so much more self critical post weightloss than I was before.

Yep, me too. I used to be super social. I actually wish I still was, but it's hard making friends in such a big city. I know very few people who live nearby, and those people are always busy with OTHER friends. I get lonely a lot just hanging with DH and DD.

You are fabulous ladies and I would totes be friends with you and do fun shizz. Are there meetup groups in your area [like a dating website for friends but not creepy like online dating can be] ? That's how I made most of my new mom friends.

I feel damned if I do, damned if I don't quite often.
I liked working, but when I worked I felt guilty about not spending the day with LO. Now that I SAH, I feel guilty for wanting to work. Its not that I don't enjoy time with the baby--I really do!--I just need something else in my life, too.
I know WMs would do anything to see their LOs all day (in many cases) so I feel like a whiny brat about it.

As a WM, I wouldn't flame you for this. At work I complain (not loudly lol) about missing my kid, but the truth is, the escape is kind of nice. I could see how you could start to feel a little burned out being home day after day.

RTaylor12 · June 2013

Neither my oven nor my coffee maker would ever get cleaned if it weren't for my MIL. She's here on Sundays watching Taylor and does the chores no one else wants to do while Taylor naps. She's a sweet lady and loves to help out, so we let her. Last Sunday morning before work, there were a few dishes in the sink and an almost-full dishwasher. Even though I was in a hurry, I quickly loaded and started it because I knew MIL would empty it later.

Also, my mom does all of Taylor's laundry. I haven't done any of it since she was like 4 months old.

You're so sweet! Maybe you could just move to MN so you can be my babysitter and my friend!!

Honestly I don't have much time during the week due to work and DD's early bedtime and most of the meetup groups are for SAHM's during the weekday. And I'm pretty shy too, so it's hard for me to put myself out there sometimes.

What part of MN do you live in? My brother lives there in one of the Minneapolis suburbs and we make it up every now and then.

This is the story of my life! I've always been what people might call anti-social, but i am actually just cripplingly shy. I am super self-concious and avoid eye contact like the plague. It makes me nervous in town now because with a baby, i have more people going out of their way to talk to me. Pregnancy and babies attract a lot of attention, something i am not comfortable with. I usually end up mumbling something noncoherent when someone stops to coo over Addie.

I never talk on the phone...thank goodness for text. At least you have bonded closely with people on TB! I know in reality if there were a bump meetup 1 mile from my house, i wouldn't go because i would be so self concious. Yeah, i'm weird and i know it. I make myself get out and do child related activities for Addie's sake, but i am that weird mom in the group not saying anything. I actually do prefer doing things alone, but i just wish i didn't feel so uncomfortable when having to socialize.

I'm also very shy and self-conscious in person, to the point that people who don't know me think I'm stuck up. Once I know someone, it's difficult to get me to shut up!! If I were attending a GTG 1 mile away from you, I'd be nervous to meet you because you so pretty!

i was just about to write pretty much this exact same thing, amilyn. A lot of my H's friends' wives think I'm stuck up, but it's because a lot of times I'm just intimidated and I have a hard time opening up to new people.

H is on vacation all next week, which is awesome. But I just realized him being home will give me so much less bump time and I admittedly feel bummed about that.

that is amazing!! Awesome job, I'm sure you look fantastic! Do you have any tips for losing that amount of weight? My BFF just had a baby, and she is trying to lose 100 lbs.

Today is Nathaniel's last day in his current room at day care. I made his teachers each a bag with stuff to make s'mores. One pack of crackers, 3 chocolate bars, and a baggie of marshmallows. The tag says the world needs s'more teachers like you. It's really lame and I know it. Especially since I made his teachers last year huge beach totes with towels, magazines, flavored water and treats.
I feel like crap.

This is the exact thing I give my parent volunteers at the end of the school year, with a slightly different wording for the note. I usually have 4 or 5 parents. I think it's cute and it's friendly on my wallet. In fact, while at Target last night, I hit up the dollar section and stocked up on marshmallow roasting skewers for this next school year. If this is lame and makes you feel like crap, then I've been a lame crappy person for the last 4 years! ::mobile smiley face:: Really, it was thoughtful of you to give any gift.

My FFFC... Lately I've been having a hard time being physically attracted to my husband. I think it's more of an emotional thing because he's been so lazy lately. I see him laying on the couch playing a game on his phone while I'm doing 3 things at once, and I feel slightly grossed out by him. Ugh, we need to fix this.

I will be making the same thing as part of the wedding favors for my best friends wedding! I think it is a sweet gift to his teachers considering most parents probably don't get them anything! I would have been ecstatic to get that when I worked in the daycare!

Thank you! My final goal is actually 100 pounds too. It's hard to say what has really worked this time as H and I have been trying to lose weight the entire time we've been together. Somehow it just finally clicked this time and he also lost 40 pounds. If nothing else, having a partner in crime is amazing. We shop healthy, cook healthy [this mostly means filling and low calorie to me, a lot of what I eat is still considered junk to others], and now that we are broke we hate spending money on junk that's just going to undo all of our work. If you don't have junk in the house then the worst you can do during a moment of weakness is eat a bunch of grapes or something equally unrewarding to binge on. I use myfitnesspal to keep my calories in check and am ocd about filling it in everyday [anyone can add me lkv1986!]. I do have "off days" here and there but once ladies night or the birthday is over I get right back on the wagon. Before it would take me weeks to get back into it. I wish your friend the best of luck! It can feel impossibly daunting to imagine losing 100 pounds but it's totally doable.

Good for you! That is really a great accomplishment. This might sound creeper-ish, but I wanted to tell you that I really like your haircut from one of the PIPs last week. I've been on the fence about cutting it short and I think your style is really cute!

You have my full permission to steal it! It was the haircut I had in college and in my 8th month of pregnancy I took an old picture of myself to the salon and had them copy it. Yup, I brought a picture of myself as my haircut inspiration. It's impossibly easy - 10 minutes of blowdrying and that's it!

A suburb of St. Paul. Let me know when you come to town next! There are several of us in or near the Twin Cities and we try to organize GTG's here and there. We could try coordinating one while you're in town!

I second this. I would love for us to schedule a GTG while you are in town.

That would be amazing! Even more incentive to visit as soon as possible. Thanks ladies! Big Smile

My 11 month old is out mud riding with his dad on the 4 wheeler. Having a blast. You think he drove a car well, you should see him drive a atv! Stick out tongue

Ok - you better stop by my house soon to hang with R and I. I just noticed the kiddie pool opened in our neighborhood, so I think Riley #1 and Riley #2 need a swim date! I'll email you my address, and we will plan it out!! Take a day off work - you deserve it!
