...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 this ridiculous competitive streak. Someone I know was entering a race that I was running. My whole goal for the race was to kick her butt, and I did! By a whole 10 minutes. It was awesome and I felt great about it. When we were discussing the event I even threw in that I had to walk for a short bit. Bam! Walked and still beat you! Yeah!

  • I didn't realize how close christmas is. I thought I was doing so good getting my shopping done early. I planned my last shopping trip next week and I look at the calendar and it just hit me that's the week before christmas. Lol That's not early, holy crap only two more weekends until christmas!

    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.

  • And some more since I'm in a confessing mood.

    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.

  • And another - which is probably a UO too, but. Granted I do like a few of her songs, but in general, I think Beyoncé is so overhyped. I wish she and jayz would disappear.

    Lol aw that's mean! Hopefully you encouraged and told her what a great job she did as well. I am competitive as well
    Of course! I'm not a total B!

  • H's twin is having issues and so as soon H's finals are over next Thursday H is going to go visit him (although he was here for Thanksgiving and will be here for Christmas) in Chicago leaving me home with 4 kids as winter break is starting and getting back Christmas eve.

    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.

    Oh nooo!! Don't let her ruin YOUR Christmas it is not fair! She sounds so self-centered. Im sorry your holidays are stressful you should be happy and enjoying LO's first Christmas. I hope you don't cancel it,and just make it how you want it! Good luck!

    Meant as a confession not whining. I have priced plane tickets to get the hell out of here and have Christmas with my family. The confession part comes from leaving H out of the loop and his ass home. Almost not worth it and canceling easier and would suit me just fine. Kids would be pissed though. I'm not that into christmas anymore. It coincides with H's little bro marrying the social arbiter, but I've chosen my bad attitude. Choosing to pout like a brat is also flame worthy, especially if it ruins Christmas for my kids.

  • @kate_c that fear is what has triggered my anxiety issues. When my h was deployed I would have anxiety attacks that something would happen to me while I was home alone with James. The board is so slow lately that I didn't mind yesterday's UO, even though it did make me side-eye a few people. We are driving two looong days next weekend to get to Texas for Christmas. Among the things I'm packing for James for the car: movies, any snack he wants, Benadryl.
    What part of Texas are you headed to? I am in Houston! :) Have a safe trip!

  • I just dropped my girls at daycare after a doctor's appt even though one of them is completely miserable!  She didn't sleep much last night and is a crying mess.  But the doctor said there was nothing really wrong with them but some nasal congestion.  I'm at work instead of taking care of my girl.  I feel guilty, but I didn't want to drag her around everywhere I needed to go today.

    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!

  • We are going on a week cruise at the end of the month, just DH and I. I had to have my IUD out 2 weeks ago bc it was in the WRONG place. I haven't been in the mood since DS came along but I'm going to use that week for baby making! DH doesn't know but he would be thrilled it I got pregnant.
  • 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 doesn't know that you want to try to have a baby, or he doesn't know that your IUD is out? Honestly, I feel like this is a big decision that should be made by both people. This is not the kind of thing that I would be secretive about, personally.


    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
  • I have so much to do for Christmas that I'm sort of immobilized. Futzing around online when I should be filling out cards, wrapping, shopping....I'm going to need a Christmas miracle this year. I've never been this unprepared for holidays before. I'm a SAHM and I feel like I should be on top of this.
  • Also, I would break someone's pinkie finger for a g.d. Coke Zero right now.
  • My confession is we bought DD diamond studs for her first Christmas. We totally got judged the other day when we picked them up. The jeweler said "do you want to wear them now, or just wrap them up?" I told her they weren't for me and asked her to wrap them. She replied " oh wow and how old is she?" Along with a dirty look. I wanted to throat punch her.

    Hey can we rehash this subject again?! :)

    Tongue firmly in cheek there ;)
  • I confess that I always try to email parents of my students before calling them because I am scared of them haha. So profesh, right?


    I hate calling parents! I'm not scared of them, but I just dread it. I don't like talking on the phone in general, actually. I only call parents if it's absolutely necessary (plagiarizing, etc.); otherwise, I email them.

  • I am flying to Chicago and back on Thursday to qualify for Southwest's companion pass... My confessions is that I didn't buy Warner a ticket. We always get him a seat so he can be in his car seat , but this time I plan on just duct taping him to me or something. I feel like I may as well put him in the front seat of my car, unbuckled, and be like "good luck kid"... but Jesus the tickets were so freakin expensive.

    I would get a belt that is super large (the type you put on your pants) and buckle him against you!

  • My DS, who is almost 3, is getting 1 new toy for Christmas and the rest are hand-me-downs. And DD is getting all hand-me-down gifts. That's what I call Christmas on a budget...

    DS1 is getting wooden Thomas trains off of craigslist. he's going to love them almost as much as my wallet.

      DS1 4.4.11. &  DS2 4.18.13
  • Not all babies are blessed with grandparents that are involved in the babies life... Regardless grandparent or not, my baby WILL get gifts from mom and dad. Even if I would have to sell something to get the money.

    I guess I don't have to worry about baby proofing the Christmas tree since DD is TERRIFIED of it! I tried to take a picture holding her standing next to the tree and she screamed her lungs out. It was kinda funny...she won't even crawl in that direction.

    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.
