...confessions?...

Since we had a productive UO discussion, let's see if we can do as well with FFFC.
Last night was the first night I spent away from the baby. Although she's still up a couple of times to nurse, I didn't get up to pump. Sleep was awesome. And she apparently doesn't nurse much overnight, because she didn't need a bottle in my absence overnight.
#2 I have developed a fear of dying since having kids. I would never have contemplated the possibility of not coming home from a trip like this before kids. I guess now I feel like I actually have something important I would miss if I was gone.

I have stopped making baby food for the most part. I had been trying out some pouches for the diaper bag and our travels and now I'm hooked. I still do homemade fruit in cubes to mix with cereal for breakfast but for lunch and dinner he either has what we are having or a pouch of veg/fruit! I didn't think I would be done making baby food this soon. He does so good with finger foods now though.
Also, like a lot of the other ladies, I've got the new baby fever and have been lurking on Dec 13.
There are some days where I most certainly sit my ass on the couch and eat bon bons. And there are some days where I want to tear my flucking hair out by the end of the day. I am usually able use the bathroom by myself, but the door is always open.
The flameful part (which I've confessed before but is more flameful after yesterday's debate!) - even though I stay home I have a cleaning lady that comes in twice a month. And once in a while I send my DS to daycare so he can see some other kids and I can ensure a relaxing day (because really, only having one immobile child at home is easy peasy). And on those days I take DD to mom and baby yoga.
I didn't tip the concierge guy who greeted me last night and set up the valet parking. I didn't even think of it until I was checking in and he was gone. Then I was like, oh shit , I probably should have tipped that dude. He probably thinks I am a cheap bitch. He's right, but I honestly wasn't trying to be cheap in that case. I don't belong in fancy pants hotels.
My Sil (wife of H's other brother) acts like it's her responsibility to dictate how we do gifts and all activities we do {"Hey everyone I've entered us in a 5K the day after Thanksgiving." "We are all going to donate to X charity this year because each family choosing their own doesn't do as much good." "I know traditionally (tradition that has been around longer than her) we've had Christmas Eve dinner in the form of hors d'oeuvres and the kids have a 'party' but this year we're going to leave them with a sitter and go to this new paleo (none of us are into paleo) restaurant I found."}.
I have a really bad attitude and am looking at prices to get me and the kids to NY with my family for the holiday without consulting H. I most likely won't go through with it, but am planning all the same.
I'd be happy to cancel Christmas all together.

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 have a couple... I miss having time to get on the board, and even though my baby was born May 3, I don't post on that board at all.
@Melissa. I feel the same way about Beyoncé. While she can sing and dance and is very pretty, I just can't be on board. I like a couple of her songs but if I were given a ticket to her concert, I wouldn't go. Jay-Z on the other hand, I LOVE!!!

He knows I got the IUD out. He's also expressed to me that he's ready to expand our family again (he's been ready for months). I've been dealing with some serious medical issues and have finally been cleared to TTC again which he knows. But I haven't told him I'm ready to expand our family too--if it happens, awesome. I just don't want the pressure there bc I was medically deemed by a physician 2 years ago that I wouldn't be able to have kids...and then along came DS
ETA: should have clarified my history
Tongue firmly in cheek there
Babies don't need presents from mom and dad... that is what grandparents are for
omg! This is absolutely hilarious. Sad for you LO but the big pic, it's actually pretty funny. My coworkers 2 yo is afraid of the tree too. She got brave and went to touch it but tripped on her own feet, falling into the tree and her scream was "filled with sheer terror." Kids are so funny.
Well, diamonds are April's birthstone, so no judgiing here! If you got her aquamarine for March I bet you wouldn't get a look.
