My FFFC is that I spent the majority of E's baby class with my zip down. I wondered why a couple of people were looking at me. I just thought it was because I looked a clip.
I was promoted at work without being given a raise or title change. I've unsuccessfully advocated for these things for five years.
I'm fed up and seeking other opportunities.
Our office is casual and whenever someone dresses up an assumption is always made that they are interviewing elsewhere.
My confession is that I'm really tempted to dress up on Tuesday even though I don't have any interviews lined up yet, just to see if it garners any response from my boss. I know that she and the owner of the company do not want me to leave and perhaps if they think that possibility is imminent, they will try to counter it.

I was exhausted from staying up late watching stuff I had DVRed from being away last weekend. When R got up at 5 I was too tired so I made DH do it saying I had been up all night dealing with R's RSV. In actuality I was awake watching Dracula for his 1am bottle. I fed him and he fell right back to sleep until 5. DH got him, changed him and brought him to me to feed and then he got up and went to work. R fell rights back to sleep and we snoozed until 8.
During HDBD, I scroll to see how many love its LO got before I look at everyone else's adorable babies. I play over/under with myself to hit two lines of love its. If I don't get them, I spend all week obsessing about the perfect picture for HDBD. Maybe I need @oohgurl's fancy camera.
I give C Cheerios after every meal when she starts to get fussy to keep her quiet so I can bump in peace.
For example, the scene currently:
Also it's a miracle if her sippy cup gets washed (with soap) every few days. I just rinse the crusty food off. I'm gross.
I got laid off last week from my 2 day a week part time job. My first thought was 'Now how am I going to run my errands childless without my 2 one hour lunch breaks?!'
My mom was over this week and LO spit up a bit on the floor. She asked for a Kleenex but instead I just put LO beside it and used her clothes to wipe it up. She was going to change into her pajamas in like 15 minutes. My mom looked at me and said "um, you're only supposed to do stuff like that with your 2nd kid"

I thought I was the only one! This made me laugh b/c I do this and my husband is like your mom...
I still track feeding and sleeping on my iPhone app. I just can't let it go. I realize it is OCD and unnecessary, but part of me wants to save one of the monthly sleep logs to give to M when she is 20, to say, see what a little monster you were in the middle of the night? then I would have proof

I still do this too. It's still helpful for me. But I'm about to go back to work so I will probably not be doing it much longer.
My IL's always asks how long I am going to continue BF'ing and I'm pretty sure it's because they don't like that LO is so attached to me and dependent on me for food. Um hello, I am his mother, what do you think is gonna happen? My original goal was one year, but I think I will go further than that since they bug about it so much. Also, my LO is still a long nurser and naps in my arms, I like the cuddle time and frankly it's the only time I get to sit on my a** and relax! More time to bump and shop online!
I did my first workout of the New Year (which coincidentally is also my first workout postpartum...heh) this morning and afterwards took a nap with Lexie instead of showering while she slept. I now have clean clothes over a filthy body.

I thought I would stop by a year, but as it is rapidly approaching I feel there is no way I'm weaning her! I love having that bind, that connection that only her and I share. Selfish? Maybe slightly. And when people ask incredulously when I will stop, I shrug and maybe never ;-)
My plan is to stop doing my pump at work at one year. He can have solids and WCM or freezer milk while I'm at work but I'll prob continue to nurse til he weans or I get tired of it.
But I may have to stop if we dedice to TTC again around then. I still haven't gotten my cycle.
Yea. I hear ya on the putting out. At the end of the day I'm not really into "more touching," lol. I remember the days of telling DH I wanted more physical affection and snuggling. Now I'm like okay, head on back to your side of the bed.
I have a friend who watches DD while I work from home and I am ready to fire her and do both myself.
The thing that has me most pissed off today is that I had to go into the office, which is an hour away. I left at 7:30 and DD was asleep. I got home at 5:30 and my husband had just changed her diaper and there were only 3 dirty diapers. For. All. Day. I know because I washed all the dirty ones last night.
So if DH changed 1, that means in 10 hours my DD only had 2 diaper changes.
Am I silly to be pissed about that? You may remember we've been fighting with a rash on her belly for a while now. It has been all healed. It's back tonight.
On top of that, she leaves her dirty dishes all over the kitchen and on the coffee table. Leaves empty toilet paper roles in the bathroom (when the replacement is *right there*. Major pet peeve). Is late every morning.
I may just be PMSing. But I'm *this* close to throwing in the towel on this whole thing.
Yea. I'd take major issue with that. I know sometimes after a nap we get playing and 3-4 hours go by before I remember to change him. But 2 in 10 hours is ridiculous. Don't day cares check them like every 2 hours?
I would think so. I put a fresh diaper on her before and after every nap and then in between if it's needed. I try to o it at least every 2 hours.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that would be bothered by that.
I would also be very bothered. If you haven't already I would suggest talking to her about it. I think you are justified in letting her go. You're the mom and it's your prerogative who watches your child.
@kris10michelle - how any diapers are there when you work from home? If you are concerned I would say something.
I will say though - no way could I watch DS. I wfh fully (unless travelling) and I absolutely could not watch him. It wouldn't be fair to him or my work because both demand so much time..

Someone I know is pregnant with her 3rd, and she's doing all these cutesy Pinterest things, like announcing on FB with a creative picture, doing a gender reveal with a cake, etc. It *almost* makes me wish I were pregnant again. Believe me, we're done at 3, but sometimes I wish I would have enjoyed my last pregnancy a little bit more (I had a few complications, plus a previous m/c).
Mine is late cause I couldn't think of one. I slept on my baby monitor last night. I felt bad but I figured if she was really crying she would of woke me up anyways.

Re: FFFC?
You think they would've given me the heads up.

No zipper to worry about is another reason I loved maternity pants.

To be fair I took them out of the vibrator for the gloworm a month ago, but it was just a loan!

My little bug, Madeline. Born June 2, 2013.
But I may have to stop if we dedice to TTC again around then. I still haven't gotten my cycle.
Edited cuz I wasn't done.
Edited to add: pumping sucks a bag of dicks.
