FFFC

I figured I would start. Went to target the other day to get LO some overnight diapers and somehow a package of Oreos made it home with me...they're almost gone..this could be why...

Re: FFFC

  • Oh my goodness @BellaBean76 my husband just told me this yesterday when we were grocery shopping. I thought he was joking bc he really wanted them. Haha. Too funny.

  • @bellabean76 - I saw that on the news! I've never been a huge fan of traditional Oreos but I do get into trouble with the golden ones.

    FFFC - I am convinced my baby bites me while nursing just to be mean. She only does it when she's mad or frustrated and smiles when I react in pain. It's a little unnerving. Not to mention those teeth hurt!

  • Ginny is home from daycare today since DH has off work and she's been a grumpy teething beast.

    She's normally BF on demand, so I can't really recall a feeding schedule for her. We had to refer to her last few daycare activity sheets to see when she normally eats so DH would know about when to feed her.

    We suck. Hahaha

  • I'm really sad to probably be done having babies. So much so that I have actually considered registering with a surrogacy agency. I feel like it would be strange to carry a complete stranger's baby though. I don't know anyone who needs a surrogate though so probably won't ever happen.

  • I was ready to leave right on time today and was putting DS in his carseat when I smelled poop. I almost brought him to daycare without changing anyway... but I didn't. Good thing too, since it was disgusting.

    My husband and I are considering me being a surrogate once we are done having our own. I'm pretty sure I don't want more than 2 kids but I enjoyed pregnancy and childbirth and wouldn't mind doing it a couple more times. I also have such a heart for IF and think it would be awesome to give another couple the chance of a healthy pregnancy and birth. For us it really just depends on how our next pregnancy goes. Keep me updated if you do decide to register! I'd love to hear about it.

    To piggy back off yours I have NOT accepted that at 28 I am not allowed to have another baby so we are looking at surrogacy and people think i'm crazy. 1. Because its a mortgage and 2 they say I should be happy with the one I have. But i'm not. I LOVE my son but I want a daugther.

  • Kate... I was seriously considering this after my first pregnancy. I felt like my body was made to make babies and wanted to be pregnant a zillion times. But after having GD this pregnancy I'm doubting I'd even be allowed to be a surrogate.

    Bella.... please tell me you bought the mega ones!! Yummm

    Why does anyone think you are crazy for wanting to have a bigger family? Adoption, surrogacy, or IF treatments are all really expensive. But if you can afford it and want to do it, it is no one else's business to judge. I'm sorry your are in such a difficult position.

  • I'm a SAHM but am willingly going back to work next week. I technically switched to PRN when I went on maternity leave so I can pick my hours (only working 12 a week). I am feeling guilty but I have to do this to keep my sanity and to be a good mother and wife. Part of me is sooo looking forward to Monday.
  • My mom is coming home next Tuesday to stay with us for two weeks! I'm so excited. Partly because I miss her and she will get to spend Halloween with us....or because she says she wants to babysit.

    We had leftover grilled chicken and blueberries for breakfast. It was actually really good together.

    I don't really have anything good this week.

    I guess my FFFC is that I probably wouldve driven to daycare and let them change it

  • I really dislike nursing, I planned to stop at 6 months but I don't want to because I like all the breaks I get at work to nurse her (I work in her daycare)....how awful of me to keep nursing for myself and not for my daughter!!
  • I hurt my back this week, and although I definitely wasn't faking the pain, I totally took advantage of it to make DH handle bath time.
    Bonus confession: Because I've been out of commission all week, I have SO much to do today, but instead of starting my chores and running my errands, I'm waiting for DH to get home from work at 2:30 so that I don't have to go grocery shopping with the baby.

    I bought a pack of the mega stuffed Oreos and I hide them from my husband. This isn't because I don't want him knowing I'm eating them but because he has no will power and will eat them all leaving me none, lol. My confession: my baby girl starts out sleeping in the RnP (which she has nearly outgrown) and usually sleeps on me from midnight until she wakes up for the day around 7am. The past couple of weeks I've been trying to lay her in her crib and she's not having it. I am secretly happy because I'll miss snuggling with her though I know it would be best for her to sleep in her crib. Good thing, my hubby and I both feel that as long as she's sleeping well, there is no urgency.
    I confess that DD never makes it a full night in her crib. She successfully starts there every night, then she fusses and when I get her back down it's always in her RNP. Really it's me doing this - I can put her in the RNP and know I'll get a few solid hours or deal with the crib, when I know she will wake up again. The way I look at it, eventually she will outgrow the RNP and I'll deal with it then - so bad!

    My confession is that I don't want DD to sleep in her room. I selfishly like having her in my room and it's convenient. I also love after she wakes up to eat at 5:30 she comes in bed with me and sleeps/snuggles with me until 7:30. I'm not ready to give that up. My FI is on board and feels the same way about as long as she sleeps then let her sleep wherever.

    Totally not so!
    I think a lot of the reason I feel this way is cause I'm a young mom. Well that and because I'm a FTM.

  • They are comparing Oreos to Rice cakes?  Well of course they choose the oreos!  If they put something else in there like cheese... then maybe they can make a valid comparison, but to basically compare drugs to saline and oreos to rice cakes, of course they are going to chose the yummy stuff or if they have to get pricked with a needle, pick the one that probably numbs the pain, rather than simply hurting.

    I call the study invalid.... but that's me :)

    Do I have a confession?  I did lots of online shopping at work instead of working the last couple weeks and now I'm paying for it as my deadlines are suddenly looming!  AAAAGGGGHHHHH!

    TTC since May 2006. After 3 failed Clomid cycles, 2 failed Injectibles/IUIs, 2 failed IVFs and 1 failed FET, we moved on to adoption!

    Last ditch FET resulted in BFP, and identical twin girls!

  • I'm super jealous of a 23 year old co worker who just built the house of her dreams with a husband who just passed the bar. As I sit here struggling to sell the house we are in now to find something in a crime free, drug free neighborhood. Jealousy is an ugly trait in a person...I don't want to feel this way but I can't help it.

    Late to the game here. But when LO had way too much energy this afternoon I put him in the jumperoo (his fave) and watched I Dream of NeNe. MOTY here.

    I did that while watching big tips Texas. :: hides face in shame::

  • I'm irrationally upset (read: crying) because we are supposed to have family photos outside tomorrow and the forecast is calling for 4C (about 39F) and rain/snow.
    So once I saw the forecast I went online and bought myself a pair of Uggs to make me feel better...

  • I'm laughing because as I was reading about the golden Oreos...I literally am laying in bed stuffing them in my face, lol.

    I'm supposed to be sleep training LO but I have been keeping him in bed with me and putting it off because I LOVE cuddling with him.

    Should I be ashamed of doing this? I can't be her sole method of entertainment and personal jungle gym all day. It's okay to take a break! She needs to learn to play by herself, too! :-)

    I was more embarrassed of what I was watching, rather than that I was letting LO entertain himself.

  • My LO still takes all her naps in her swing.  I know she needs to go in the crib but she won't nap when I put her in there.  Then again, I don't try very hard.
