Confessions...

rzurbr · July 2013

So it's ok if I almost had a minor breakdown after spending 8.5 hours almost straight stuck on the couch with DD stuck to one boob or the other constantly feeding after spending 6 hours the day before stuck in the exact same spot and position. The 3 week growth spurt is no joke and I hope we are at the end of it. DH was great and took care of her so I could catch some Zzzz's once she finally decided to unlatch for a bit.

And it's ok if I'm already dreading the rest of the day after DD decided to start peeing in the middle of the diaper change, I knocked over the bottle of pumped milk and it spilled everywhere, she peed on her onesie and is on outfit #2 and we went through 3 diapers already this morning.

What are your confessions for this week or even just today?

BLT20051 · July 2013

I plan on leaving work early but not picking up the kid so I can get some stuff done.

rzurbr · July 2013

Ok onto outfit number 3...just spit up all over herself again...oh it's going to be a long day!

Just let her hang out in the diaper. If she gets cold, swaddle her. Way easier than outfit changes. Or put a bib on.

My little A just has to be a naked baby if she messes more than one outfit. Maybe not in the winter but for now she's fine in a diaper. Less laundry for mama!

The diaper thing is good. My confession- I am almost glad DH has to work and can't go to his dad's birthday party in a couple weeks because the 4 hour car ride and being around all of those people gives me an anxiety attack just thinking about. Lily has enough pretty quick and I don't want to deal with her. I feel bad because his dad and step-mom haven't met Lily yet.

WasNotWas · July 2013

I just let my LO cry for a bit because I haven't eaten anything yet today and he has eaten every 30-45 minutes! My turn kid!! (Hate the 6-week growth spurt)

Oh my confession I may be sitting on the couch watching Next Top Model downing a pint of ice cream

My confession is that I started the water for my shower fifteen minutes ago and have made no move to get in.

jefk · July 2013

I really do not want to meet DH for Starbucks today. I went for a walk this morning with DD and the dog - as soon as I got DD snapped into her stroller she spit up all over the straps (which of course can't be removed and thrown in the wash), and the dog marked every single vertical thing on the walk (tree, lamppost, mailbox, etc). And I'm sweaty. The last thing I want to do is put on a real outfit, get DD into her carseat (again), and go to Starbucks. But DH misses her and I feel bad, and he's paying, so I'll go.

TheTamedShrew · July 2013

I confess that I am glad LO likes to have awake time and nurse around dinner time because then I don't have to feel guilty for not cooking dinner. DH is an ex-chef and I am new at this SAH thing and have never really enjoyed cooking. I do all of the housework/laundry/grocery shopping/taking care of LO (aside from the occasional diaper change and bath time) so I think it evens out since he enjoys cooking and is so much better and faster at it than I am.

tttwalters · July 2013

Last night DS was awake from 11 to 2 and then from 4 onward, I wanted to send him back. Not sure back to where, maybe my uterus, but back somewhere. Then I look at his cute face and my heart melts all over again.

I can totally relate to this!

Me too. I mumbled/half whined something like this last night when DH got home and he promptly took over so I could have a break from the milk monster.

I totally get this. I love my DD soo much, but she's starting to drive me crazy. I need a break. I almost wish I was going back to work so I'd get some sort of break from her.

My confession - I've had some scary symptoms of PPD and I finally called someone about it today. They didn't pick up

I've been having issues with PPD/PPA. I brought it up at my 6 week PP appointment, and my doctor was really nice about it. She gave me a prescription for Zoloft and a list of therapists. I spent all day yesterday on the phone with my insurance company trying to figure out my mental health benefits (which are great, thank goodness), so today I'm going to contact the therapists and make an appointment. I've found a lot of support on the PPD board - good luck!!

Keep calling dear. I hope you can get help soon. ::hugs::

I have taken some sort of pain relieving pill every single day since giving birth. First it was for the normal postpartum pain and it's been for the horrible nipple/breast pain that just won't go away. Though I'm taking BFing safe meds, I still feel guilty about it. I'm also worried about dependency/addiction because I get anxious when the pain starts coming back. To clarify, I'm only taking one dose per day, but since I've never been one to even treat a headache, this is new to me.

ConnieRob · July 2013

Will has been spitting up on me lately and I always forget to use a burp cloth after a feeding so it winds up all over me. So, I'm sitting on the couch, smelling like puke waiting for him to doze off so I can either take a shower or finish cleaning Jacks room. And by cleaning I mean giving a quarter if his toys to goodwill and everything broken or missing pieces to the garbage. I'm debating wether to shower or clean now. Thinking clean since jack is distracted and won't notice his stuff going into bags and boxes. Which means I'll smell like puke until afternoon nap time when I can grab a shower.

This is me. There hasn't been a day I haven't taken a Motrin or Tylenol for nipple pain. Im hoping you can't get dependent on those lol.

Natali puked in my hair during this mornings feed. I won't get a chance for a shower until DH comes home so I know how you feel!

Thanks for the kind words about the PPD ladies

Ha ha. This is what I do. It's the punishment outfit. No more cute clothes for you, kid.

yup- I can relate to this. The other night I hardly got any sleep. When MH woke up for work he tried to help with O, but he had to get ready. I resented him, and out of anger, and a little arguing between the both of us I lost it, and told him "I am never doing this again!!!" ((referring to having any more kids.)) needless to say that didn't go over to well, and I felt back after saying that as I looked down at O nursing and he gave me a big grin! Melted my heart- and I would do it 1,000 times over.

Junemom2013 · July 2013

My confession is that sometimes I want to lock me and dd in the house and not leave the safety of our home. Since she was born I am absolutely terrified of something happening to her and I won't be able to protect her.

LaBellaVida · July 2013

my confession is that after having O I was determined to stick with my GD diet to be healthier and loose weight. **I am overweight**

I haven't even tried to stick to my GD diet and have been eating crap since I gave birth. More recently in the last few days since my mom has left. I am lonely, bored and sad so I have been eating my emotions.

I've gotta get myself under control....

WhitWed · July 2013

I had one of those days earlier this week (lots of crying, spilled milk, getting pee'd on, and burning dinner) and as soon as DH walked in the door, I grabbed my car keys and went for a drive.

My confession is today I told DH that I wasn't feeling well and asked if he'd work from home this afternoon and watch DS so I could take a nap. He agreed, and while I do feel like crap, my real motive was to get him to bring me lunch! I did not feel like eating another sandwich, salad, or hot dog! I'm SO looking forward to lunch and a nap today!

My confession is related to this. I stopped changing DS every single time he spits up. If it's a lot of spit up and it soaks him, of course I change him, but he often has spit up that is more like a heavy drool. It just gets a little spot or two on his sleeper. I usually just wipe that off his sleeper with the burp cloth rather than getting a whole new sleeper. I expect to be judged!

I'm afraid to pump. I've been EBFing my 4 week old DD and I told DH I would start pumping around 4 weeks. I need to start pumping so DH can help and to prepare to return to work. Plus I want some freedom to leave her. I don't know why I'm afraid but I am avoiding it....

Holy crap, this is totally me. DS was 4 weeks yesterday and I said I'd start pumping then, but for some reason I just can't bring myself to do it. I have no idea why?? It would make my life so muh easier, but I keep making excuses. What the heck, brain?!? :-S

I was the same way, I still havent figured out the hesistation but I just bit the bullet at 6 weeks and started. I still dont pump everyday since my stash will just be for one night bottle and emergencies, admittedly I hate pumping, it feels weird and there is all the clean up, I dont know how the exclusive pumping Mamas do it!

but when I get that glorious 30 min in the evening when DH is giving her a bottle and getting ready for bed, its worth it

plus I know that 6 months down the road I am going to be happy that I can go places without her.

ashlo618 · July 2013

My confession: last night I forgot to put in breast pads and when DD got up to eat and I realized I had forgotten them, instead of dragging by butt to the bathroom to get them I grabbed a diaper from the bedside table and laying it in my nursing tank. It worked like a champ and I didnt have to get out of bed - win win

riansmommie · July 2013

My LO will be a month tom and Im ready to start trying for our next LO. Of course I have to wait for my hubby to return from deployment but if there is only a year between this baby and the next I wouldnt be mad at all

you brave girl you! My kids are 6 years apart. ages 13, 6, and now O is a month. I think we are going to have one more, and I kinda want them a little closer together. I am thinking like 3 years apart. I def. don't want two in diapers!!! O needs to be potty trained first!

HeartLikeMine3 · July 2013

My confession is I cancelled dinner with friends tonight after I was the one who planned if because I couldn't find any real clothes that fit and I had a body melt down. My mom had planned on coming to watch LO and I know I need the time out but I didn't want to be around all my fit friends just yet

This is friggin genius! Hats off lady

I wish my husband would help out more. I'm going back to work soon, he's going to have her for more than I will during the week at that point. I don't know how he's going to do it honestly. I'm stuck doing everything for DD now, all the time, and he sleeps on the couch...ugh...I wish I could sleep on the couch.

costa2011 · July 2013

You need to tell him that.

I was going through a million outfits a day until my mom told me to use bibs. I don't know why it never occurred to me before lol
