I am currently sitting here with DD in the highchair next to me. I keep feeding her finger foods to get her to shut up and be happy while I spend sometime on the bump and entertaining myself for a bit. I don't want her to over eat but I justify it because she is tall. After not sleeping until waaay into the wee hours of the morning I couldn't give any less of a f*ck. I know it's not much of a confession but based on previous threads I know how the general consensus on too much snack time is.
I'm jealous of the mamas who have babies that will nap on you. Lilly isn't really a snuggler like I would like her to be. We do lay together in bed when it's her naptime but she doesn't really like to be held to sleep. The only time I get that is if she falls asleep during her last feeding at night.
@melOHdy this was going to be my confession today! She's fallen asleep on me exactly one time for about five minutes
BFP #1: due 6/17/2013, DD born 6/25/13 BFP #2: due 6/30/2017, MMC found 12/7/2016 BFP #3: due 10/21/2018
If my doctor doesn't tell me that my thyroid is busted, I'm gonna cry quarts. Despite counting calories and EBFing, I have GAINED 12 lbs in 2 months. I'm hopelessly exhausted and feeling depressed enough that I'm probably going to start Zoloft again.
I sometimes feel invisible (in life and on the board) and I was very excited that someone wanted to know about something I wrote about in the update thread
I'm sure I come off as a bitch sometimes, but it's because if I am going to write something, I want to give a real answer. Lots of times that means it's a nice pleasant answer/post, but sometimes not so much. I also don't post at times if I don't think it will be agreeable since I think sometimes our BMB tends to support what's popular on the board, or whoever is well liked, instead of stating ones true opinion. And I'm rambling now, and will probly get flamed... Boo.
I keep forgetting to take my thyroid meds at night... Maybe that is why I've been feeling dizzy? Whoops.
Also, I need to buy more breast pads but haven't gotten around to it. So, when I'm home I go bra less and leak all over my shirts. When I go out I wear a thicker bra so if I leak, no one is the wiser.
Lastly, DH and I have been fighting for days. Like barely speaking to each other. I'm getting fed up with his laziness. When you don't have to work until 3:45pm that doesn't mean you sleep in until 2pm and ignore your wife and child all day. Also, it isn't nice to meet up with my sister and brother in law for lunch without telling me, while I'm sitting home with our baby. Jerk.
My DD just bit my nipple hard enough to make my cry. She started laughing hysterically. So I yelled NO at her.. And she started laughing more. I am now terrified she will associate biting with funny. I thought we had gotten over biting. Today is a bad day.. I need a break. Oh that's right.. I don't get breaks. Sigh.. Pointless vent
I really hate my husband's dog. Like a lot. I've never liked him, his ex gf picked him out, he has tons of skin issues and his medicines cost about $250 a month. He's mean and barks at everything and everyone. I hate when he comes near me or the baby. He is 12. I am a horrible person and hope he dies soon.
I keep telling myself I need to work out and get healthier. It's not cause I need to lose weight, cause I don't. But I need to get in better shape. I've always been fortunate to not have to work out to be thin. But I feel like I need to get my butt in gear so I can be healthy for a long time.
All of this. I feel so unhealthy, but have no drive to be active or eat better.
Ohhh, I have another. DH gets home from work around 11:30. If Miley is ever still fighting to go to sleep, honestly sometimes even if she is asleep, I tell him I have to go to the bathroom. I hide in there for 20+ minutes, just because I need a break. He knows I'm that I'm hiding, but just laughs and says "go ahead and take your 15". It's hard not getting 10 minutes to yourself in a 24 hour period and I come out feeling like I can handle another day.
I do this except I don't think DH has figured it out yet. I have IBS so it's not uncommon for me to be in there, so I use it as an excuse to hide. I also lock the door when I shower because he actually brings the baby into the bathroom and asks me to do something... While in the shower.
@FordFalcor so many hugs for you! I've dealt with PPA which first showed as PPD. I know how hard it is I hope you feel better and lose all the weight
I'm making a butternut squash soup for supper and the recipe calls for 1 carrot,diced. Well, wouldn't you know we are all out of carrots and I have no desire to pack up my child and go to the store. So I just popped a few carrot ice cubes out of the freezer and will add them to my soup. The whole thing gets puréed at the end, and even if it didn't, the flavour should be the same,right?
@melOHdy I was born in '90 and saying '91 still seems young to me haha. All my mommy friends are a few years older and great. Someone has to be the older person.. She still could be a great friend
@nikkip15 my dad's drinking almost killed him a couple years ago. He went through detox at the hospital and starting going to AA meetings. He made it maybe 3 months before he started drinking again. It makes me sad because I would like my LO to grow up knowing his grandpa but there's a good chance he won't. But he doesn't want to stop and you can't help someone if they don't want the help...
What's even worse is my dad's brother and his dad encourage him to drink. You know this man has a problem, I've voiced my feelings on having an alcoholic parent, but yet you still encourage him to drink?! I have shitty relatives. And my grandpa wonders why I don't visit more. Family gatherings on that side are a freaking frat party. No thanks, I had my fair share of those in college.
FFFC: all this first birthday talk stresses me out. I've got a 3rd birthday to plan in early may still...wasn't it just Christma
I will have a 4th birthday at the same time as the 1st birthday. DD2 and DS are 2 days apart. But, first.. in less than a month I have an 8th birthday. 8. Oh. My. Word.
I'm terrible with internet tone. I always worry my post it will come across bitchy. Like when I posted the ugly Birkin bag to me it was clearly a joke, but then I started to worry someone would think I was being mean. Stupid lack of tone.
I heard that using proper punctuation and capitals in texts, etc. come off as more bitchy.

Ex:

Wow, that's cool.
This might be why one girl thought I was upset/pissed at her.

This was half confession, half gripe.
I have a big case of the sadz today.

@Samanthaashley93 I'm so sorry you've had to pick up your dad's slack all these years.
@PinkPuffyHeart2 Nope nope nope. Here's a 5 step program for paternal shirking of responsibility.
1. Feed baby prunes the night before.
2. Wait for inevitable blow out.
3. Place soiled child onto sleeping father's chest.
4. Whisper "this one's all yours" ever so sweetly in his ear. Be sure he's awake.
5. The world is your oyster! Go for coffee, a walk, or lock yourself in the bathroom with your phone and a cold drink.
In all seriousness, I really hope y'all can work this out soon. And the lunch thing is just weird. Why didn't your sister call you either?
@FordFalcor so many hugs for you! I've dealt with PPA which first showed as PPD. I know how hard it is
I guess thats my UO. I like the song!
