  • I have four confessions.

    1) I used to love the hospital where I'll be delivering, but now I am having a lot of stress and anxiety about going there. And it makes me so sad that I'm feeling that way.

    2) I've decided that I don't want any visitors aside from my immediate family. The one exception that I'll have to make is my MIL. I know it will upset people, but I don't care. My experience at the hospital this week was full of stress and anxiety, and having to entertain visitors will make it worse.

    3) I was handling everything pretty well, but I feel like I'm thisclose to a breakdown. I'm trying to pull it together because I don't want stress to affect the baby. But I'm really struggling.

    4) Even though it was really nice to have my husband there with me at the hospital, I prefer my mother most of the time. She's just better at dealing with that kind of stuff.


  • @peanutmuse your number four is how I feel about my mom and sister.

    Reminds me of another fffc. I think MH is going to be terrible in L&D. My exH was amazing.

  • I HATE DH's best friend.

    I sometimes (ok most times)  make my dog wait to go outside until I've checked TB in the morning.

    MH has his own that he sleeps with, lol. He didn't at home, but he does on deployment. It's a penguin, actually, and it has dog tags that I had made that say "Little Wingman" because of a really funny story from when he was stationed in Hawaii.

  • I have no working knowledge of geography or history. My husband asked if I could name the presidents in order, and I got stuck on #3. I needed a ridiculous number of hints.
  • We really need to go to the grocery store, but I don't feel like it.  Will probably spend the day laying on the sofa trying to breath and eating cereal as it is practically the only food in the house right now.

  • I have super hairy cankles.

    My moms friend gave my 2yo nephew 5 dollars yesterday and I put it in my pocket and realized I forgot to put it in his piggy bank so now Ill probably just spend it at Tim hortons.

  • I lose sleep at night and have a pit in my stomach during the day thinking about my MIL being at my house making it a complete mess and taking care of my son the way I wouldn't and not wiping him down completely after he eats only to get crap all over my furniture. This is all while I'm at the hospital for three days after birth. I can't wait til I'm home and they are gone. My mom is staying as a buffer and basically a housekeeper.
    I'm so annoyed thinking about it. Yes, I'm controlling about the way my house is run and I'm anal about the cleanliness. My MIL is the complete opposite of me.
    I wish I was in the hospital over night. She can F up my house too much in a small amount if time. My doc prob won't clear me to clean my house as soon as I get home.

    One more confession.....I had an u/s on wednesday and got a 3D pic of our LO. I'm kinda freaked out because he/she has super chubby cheek and as horrible as it sounds, the more I look at it, the more I'm thinking "Oh good lord I hope this kid is cute when it comes out"

    Even H was like "woah" when we saw the picture...and I said "please don't say that our baby is ugly!" which of course he didn't

  • I'm over the 2 co-workers I share an office with.

    Yesterday, I was the only person here from 7:30 AM until 5:30 PM. Neither of these broads showed up for work. Whatever.

    Now, one of them wants to come in this morning and start bossing me around and barking commands, copping an attitude with me about stuff the other broad hasn't done yet.

    I'm out at 12:00 today, and they can suck it.

  • Mine definitely sounds like an AW, but I never have FFFCs and I thought of it after reading yet another post about how little sex some of TB mommas are having these days:

    I am still having sex just as often as ever and for the most part it is just as awesome (a bit less lingerie involved but we are even still doing missionary a bit). I am pretty sure I will be going strong till my due date!

    My heart really goes out to those ladies on pelvic rest or who have medical issues going on though.

    @benjaminsmommy16 -- it really is a fantastic hospital. My city and this particular hospital were listed as top 10 in the country for places to have a baby. I think that my specific case just got lost in the cracks. I was on the post partum side room-wise, but my care was supposed to be managed by L&D residents -- they were physically far away from me and I think they didn't like to walk all the way to see me. Crappy excuse, though.
  • Some days I'm feeling lazy and don't go into work. I don't tell DH, when he asks how my day was I just say, "great! What about you??"

    It's so nice to get things done at home by myself.
  • I cried last night when DH got called into work because we had a fun afternoon planned after my OB appt. today and I made the mistake of getting excited about it. Then he texts me this morning and says they had to shut down his unit again so I probably won't see him for another two days after today when he has to take a mandatory day off. I'm so thankful for the money, but I don't remember the last time we did something fun together, let alone got to go out of town.

    I am terrified of this new baby and how it will change the dynamic of our family. I'm terrified of labor, and keep thinking I won't be able to do it; that I'll just give up and tell them to do another c/s even though in my heart that is not what I want at all.

    WooHoo, I'm just putting all my insecurities out there, huh? Sorry if this is whiny, these things have been on my mind a lot.

  • My FIL gave us a 200 dollar gift card to home depot, paid for our electrician and worked on our house all day without telling us to help get the baby room ready and I should feel bad he is doing all that, but I can't help but be super excited that I don't have to worry so much about the money or time.  Of course we have said huge thank yous and it's not necessary, but secretly I am hoping he finishes the addition today because it will be such a huge weight lifted.

  • Thought I'd sass it up a little and admit, to a message board of strangers haha, that DH is the only person I've ever been with.  So I'm definitely not a hussie but sometimes wonder if I should've sowed more oats in college (DH is my high school sweetheart so that's really not feasible but still can't hurt to wonder).

    I think this is normal for a lot of NICU moms. I felt the same way and have read that other moms do too.
    Not just NICU moms. I couldn't stand other people holding DS1 when he was born, and he was 10 days late. It got a little tiny bit better with my other kids, but not really. And, I just didn't want to put them down, even for me to sleep.

  • @peanutmuse are you at the hospital with the really high level NICU? 
    @PreDempsey -- No, I'm supposed to to deliver at Highland. I'll have to go to Strong if the baby comes in the next 8 days because they automatically send women there when they go into labor before 34 weeks. But my OB doesn't have privileges at Strong, so I'm hoping that I don't need to do that. I prefer my hospital even with my issues this week. I really think that they do well for "normal" situations -- but it's rare for pregnant women to require surgery and even more rare for them to develop the pseudomonas infection, so I think that they didn't quite know what to do with me.

    Of course, if the baby needs the NICU, they will transfer him to Strong anyway. Which is good, but I certainly hope that's not necessary.
