Lets hear those confessions!

YellowLily2013 · September 2013

The OU made me think of this confession.

I still have and sleep with my blankie! Mauahahhaha it's so falling apart. But I love it and snuggle it and its just something special.

I did grow out of the stage of having it with me all.the.time by oh you know college. I didn't take it abroad with me (mostly for fear of losing it). I wouldn't have married someone who thought it was weird. I don't *need* it but I definitely like it. You just can't mimic the softness of cotton that's been washed for 27 years!

I really want a baby so I poked holes in our condoms.

Into+the+Kitty · September 2013

Bahahahahahahahahahahaha I jest. :P

YellowLily2013 · September 2013

@ITK that would be amazing. I want to know someone who did that! Lol

I mean "amazingly wrong" for the husband.

Into+the+Kitty · September 2013

@YellowLily2013 I don't have the opportunity since in this house we're now all aboard the baby train.

TJ1979 · September 2013

@ITK you won? I thought you had lost this round? Woohoo, come on pregnancy pact!

That totally cracked me up though. I sort of wish you hadn't said you were kidding.

Into+the+Kitty · September 2013

@Tj1979 I thought I was. I had brought it up to him and he just didn't even engage with me, so I thought it was his passive way of saying no. Then last night I explained how there's an online pregnancy pact I'm a part of and that it's not good for morale for me to not be actively trying, regardless of his readiness or unreadiness to add permanently another child to our life. Of course he understood.

TJ1979 · September 2013

Bahahahahahaha! I love it!

CLLDLL · September 2013

I'm dying over here. You are too funny!

OMG, this really made me LOL!

My confession is that I stayed off the bump this morning and got WAY more done than usual! Ugh. I might have to start thinking about priorities. When I eat the pesto sauce and homemade pasta I made, I'll have to decide if I like it better than spending the morning on the bump, ha!

TJ1979 · September 2013

@stoneycakes You are so selfish. All you can think about is you and your needs and your pesto. What about us? What about those of us really bored at work on a Friday who need you around to liven up the joint? Gah!

If you're done being selfish, can I have some pesto please?

Mandmeesh · September 2013

I wish I were more of a take-no-shit-wife. MH seriously needs a job because of a great financial need, which is causing me stress so bad which will surely kill me by the time I'm 30...and I still let it continue. Ugh

Mandmeesh · September 2013

@ITK, I'm glad you didn't have to poke holes

Is he not looking? This would be horrible. (I've got a workaholic on my hands... Which sometimes is probably as baba financial problems.... You know the whole I want to see you and have a life with you. Not just wash your clothes!)

Mandmeesh · September 2013

He does not actively look, no. The stress is so bad that I feel like eventually I'll just walk out the door

LOL! I used a Michael Chiarello recipe where you blanch the basil first. It's supposed to take any bitterness out of the basil and make it greener. It was a winner!

stoneycakes · September 2013

ITK, I wish you poked holes. It would have made for some dramz. And it would have shown unwavering dedication to the pregnancy pact. This whole making major life decisions is a mature way is just not as entertaining for the rest of us!

Yesterdays UO thread got me thinking about this. I'm completely freaked out at the thought of giving birth but I really want a natural birth. I know it makes absolutely no sense but I don't do well with pain meds and the thought of the epidural freaks me out even more than the thought of giving birth! I'm fully aware I'm crazy.

I felt exactly the same way. Not crazy. Or we are both crazy. One of those...

nanabanana06 · September 2013

My son is sick. All I'm doing is counting down the hours until I can drink. I needs it so badly. I already have a pounding headache from all the screaming.

I know I've said I was done with having kids, but as my sons getting older I am starting to want another. Too bad we're years before that is even a possibility.

If you do decide to get the epi, it is nothing compared to labor pains. I was in such pain that when I got the numbing shot (which is the only thing you "feel") I kept saying "I'm ready" even though they were already done. I was so relaxed after it, I felt like I could actually handle a vaginal birth (but ended up with a C).

My epi with my first was only hard, because, my contractions wouldn't stop. They didn't have a "good" time to do it. The second epi for DS was a cake walk in comparison. Just remember to breathe.

sarenu1 · September 2013

With my EPI I was in so much pain I didn't even care about the needle. I just wanted relief.

This time I'm doing more research on pain management and I'm going to avoid induction. Hopefully.

YellowLily2013 · September 2013

Yeah I wanted a natural birth too. But the required induction and pit kicked my butt and I got an EPI! Oh the good news is it only worked on half my body... So I got to feel what it would have felt like without it!

stoneycakes · September 2013

@kklamb10 I was totally afraid of the numbness and confinement from the epi, too. I get very anxious whenever I have been numbed at the dentist or doctor. I did end up having an epi because I had a long labor (52 hours total) and I really needed to get some sleep. I labored naturally until I was practically fully dilated and just didn't have the energy to push so my midwife suggested getting an epi and getting a few hours of sleep before pushing. It didn't cause me anxiety because it was such an incredible relief to be able to rest. I really did not have the energy at that point to be anxious about anything. I'm sure I could have done it without the epi if I hadn't missed two nights of sleep during labor and had more energy at the end. You can do it!

ETA: Also, the Natural Birth forum on here is a great resource, or at least it was when I was pregnant with DS!

TJ1979 · September 2013

@kklamb10 I had a natural birth. If it is something that you have your mind set to do, you can do it. Labor was worse than actual delivery. To me it felt good to push after so long of trying to relax and breathe through contractions. I was also getting quite worn out, and they administered an IV of sugar water to perk me and LO back up, and that really helped give me the energy. I didn't labor for that long, but I pushed for 2 long hours (LO was in there sideways.) The extra energy really helped.

TJ1979 · September 2013

@Mandmeesh You could borrow my balls if you would like, just long enough to tell him to get his ass in gear and look for a job. The fact that he isn't even looking makes me mad.

Sorry

My DH has a job, but it's too stressful and low-paying. I found a great job for him to apply for, and he won't do it. I might apply for him...
