I kept LO on the breast even though he wasn't eating so I could watch a bit of tv. It was only half an hour and he seemed only too happy to gum at my nipple and smile at me.

mrssamarataylor · January 2014

I've been eating all the chocolate peices out of my husband's trail mix. He has high cholesterol anyways.

SoCalBrandi · January 2014

I still haven't unpacked my hospital bag. I see it daily as I go in my closet for my clothes & LOs. I mentally acknowledge it's there on my closet floor but it still sits there month after month, still not emptied.

HBirdie · January 2014

Someone posted their Tula for sale in a babywearing group I'm in (on Facebook). I already have a Tula, but this one is a different (equally adorable) pattern and has a custom hood with little bear ears on it! I wannnnt it! And I just spent a few minutes trying to figure out how to justify to my husband buying and owning two of the exact same carrier when we only have one baby.

I mean, seriously. Am I that superficial and obsessed with STUFF? Apparently.

charpe · January 2014

I like being back to work because I feel like it's my only quiet time. I sit at a computer all day with my feet propped up drinking tea:)
I also like pumping at work because it forces me to have more quiet/alone time. I certainly miss my LO when she's at daycare, but it's nice to just sit quietly...

ajbook · January 2014

LO is sick and can't go to daycare today so DH is staying home with her, because my maternity leave exhausted most if my sick days. I'm sort of glad this happened so he can feel what it's like to be with her alone for an extended time (more than 2 hours).

llybeck · January 2014

I want to lose weight before my wedding (I'm 50lbs more than I would like to be and I'd still be overweight if I lost that) and I'm considering doing crazy diets to get there. I've got my Amazon account just about ready to purchase Almased, which is Germany's most popular meal replacement shake, and I can't help feeling like I'm just being naive in thinking that a fad like this could actually kick start my weight loss. Actually, I know I'm being naive. But honestly, I'm at the point where I would try ANYTHING.

I lost 70+ pounds before DD but I can't for the life of me lose anything now, I'm desperate. I just want to be happy with my appearance on my wedding day. I've always felt like weight loss was just about hard work and dedication but now I just want the easy way out.

kje120 · January 2014

I'm so glad daycare is open today. After 2.5 days stuck in the house due to ice I seriously needed a break from both kids.

blondii428 · January 2014

When my best friend had her baby I told her I would give her all of DS's newborn clothes when he outgrew them. I ended up not being able to part with them because of the memories attached to them, so I weeded out a few that weren't as cute or he didn't wear and only gave her those. Even though they sit in a box I like the idea of still having them!

I had to leave the babywearing group on Facebook because it was getting out of hand! I was trying to justify spending $400 on wraps. DH would have killed me. I'll stick with the one gorgeous one I have, even though I want all of the colors to coordinate with all of the outfits!!

sugarkissed · January 2014

My FFFC: We are having a late Christmas party dinner with some friends tonight because December was too chaotic. We are doing a secret Santa gift exchange that I've known about since the end of November but I'm only buying a gift today...

I smoked when I was nursing DS1.

It was only for a few weeks and now I've been smoke free for over 3 years. I didn't want to jump in and egg on the shit storm from the other day, but if someone would have accused me or suggested that I didn't value/care about DS1 and his health, I would have punched them square in the jaw. I hated myself every time I lit up, but such is addiction.

I used to smoke as well. I never breast fed but I still smoked. It definitely is an addiction and I'm glad I quit. It's been almost five years. I did sneak a few while we planned our wedding because my dad is insane and drive me nuts.

Have you ever tried bid by vi? I have a friend who has lost 75 pounds using it. They aren't too pricey and don't taste too bad. I used it before my wedding and I'm considering it again to lose baby weight

JLMcWeeney · January 2014

My dog pisses me off so much. I'm so tired if my lab tearing up all of DS's stuff! She tore up a blanket my friend made me yesterday. I swear every time I turn around she has torn up something else. DH and i have even put her in training classes to give her extra attention.
If someone seriously said they would love to have her and give her a good home, I would so consider it.

I knew I was forgetting something, I've heard of it but couldn't remember the name. Someone I work with was considering it but never did, I should actually look into that too see what the cost comparison is and the ingredients and all that. I'm willing to try just about anything.

I am also a serious sucker for different carriers/wraps. I am going to leave the babywearing group on FB right after I sell my ring sling and purchase a different SSC or wrap. That tula is ADORABLE! I wish I could snatch it up, too!

kennazebrowsky · January 2014

My confession

I like Taylor swift. Her music is catchy and I think people hate on her over stupid shit. She sings about breakup and life experiences. Other people do too. Big deal.

I like that she's not a drug addict drunk musician that my daughter can look up to. I also bought my daughter all of her CDs for Christmas so that I could also listen to them lol

JLMcWeeney · January 2014

I have another one. I recently decided to become a vegetarian, and I always tell people it is because I hate handling raw meat. Which it true, but it also has to do with how terrible the meat industry is and how badly animals are treated.
I don't tell people that last part because I don't want them to think I am just someone that watched a YouTube video about animal abuse and decided to change my life just based on that alone. I also feel like if people know that, they won't take my dedication to it seriously and will think I am doing it because it is popular or a gimmick.

cputman200 · January 2014

I stopped nursing in November but I still wear my nursing bras daily. Pre baby I needed a mega bra and I don't want to spend the money ($75) for a new one.
I was really scared to search for a saggy boob gif....

samfam1 · January 2014

I've been super sick with the flu for the past week, and spent most of my time in bed crawled in the fetal position drifting in and out of sleep. I've struggled HARD with my baby weight; I eat well but I am not the greatest at time management, so I suck at putting aside time for exercising. After a week of barely being able to get food down, I weighed myself and had lost 14 pounds. I know that I cannot keep the weight from coming back without making a change in lifestyle, so I need to figure it out quickly; however, my FFC is that after weighing myself, I immediately ran into our spare bedroom's closet (where all my pp clothing has been housed) and ransacked it trying on clothes. I've been in maternity clothes since I gave birth, and for the first time since getting pregnant, I can finally get into my old jeans/clothes.

I was a vegetarian for 5 years and I always lied to people to avoid the awkward conversation. My reason was personal and it was something that I eventually got over, but it was not worth trying to explain my POV to everyone and start a debate. I hated it when people asked why.

Salemkitty13 · January 2014

I used my snow day yesterday to take down my Christmas tree.

eyris · January 2014

@HBirdie -- That carrier is super super cute. I think you should totally get it. (I am a bad influence when I go shopping with my friends...)

@JLMcWeeney -- I started going vegetarian at age 11 and for most of my teenage years I loved a good ethical vegetarianism debate. After 16+ years I've pretty much been down every possible road and I don't feel like debating people about it anymore. I try to make as little a deal as possible out of my vegetarianism these days because people can get so weird and defensive about it and I just don't want to go there! If someone asks I usually say something along the lines of "I just can't separate meat from the idea of a living animal and I love animals." A lot of people seem to understand that, like it's MY problem, not a cruelty issue or whatever. I think people get defensive about vegetarians when they feel bad about animal cruelty but still eat meat, so phrasing it that way kind of lets them off the hook without bringing up cruelty-type stuff.

HBirdie · January 2014

@jlmcweeney: I would definitely, definitely be a vegetarian if DH didn't cook. I HATE raw meat. I guess I'd still get it at restaurants every once in awhile, maybe. I'm not a huge fan of the taste of meat in general, though I like chicken in some things.

I understand you not wanting to talk about why. I always ask vegetarians why, and I really admire people who do it for ethical reasons.

ravenclaw1 · January 2014

It's January 31st and I still have Christmas stockings hanging up in my house from when my family came for Christmas.

The kicker- H and I are Jewish.

munchkinsmama · January 2014

I was supposed to start exercising this week, but then I got AF, so instead I ate all the unhealthy food in our house, and now I'm sitting at work on casual Friday in my jeans with some serious muffin top. Also I found out it's Chinese New Year so obviously we must get Chinese food for dinner. I guess there is next week.

kimberlymacrae · January 2014

Sometimes I would rather do chores for an hour in the evening rather than hold my LO during his witching hour. He doesn't fuss at my DH as much as he flips out on me. And chores are theraputic for me. I love washing all the dishes, wiping down all the counters, finishing 2 loads of laundry, filling all the waters, packing my lunch for the morning, getting the coffee ready, etc.

Then of course I go right back to LO as he falls asleep and I can snuggle him.

I admitted just that in the vegetarian recipes thread. Motives shouldn't matter, you are doing it because you WANT to

Exactly! I don't think it is a bad thing at all to be inspired by those videos. They are so powerful, and really helped me to realize the realities of the meat industry. I'm mean to me, there really is no ethical, kind way to kill an animal. Even free range, happy chickens getting killed and suffering just to be eaten is sad to me.
Also, on average I used to eat 4 chicken breasts a week just because I have a lot of chicken recipes. I added it up, that is 96 chickens a year!!!!
So yeah, I have lots of reasons and as @eyris said, I think people get upset or debate about it because they think of it like me being vegetarian is a call out or something telling them eating meat it wrong.
It's so not that. I just can't hold a chicken breast in my hands and not think about the chicken that died for my meal.

I would do that if I could pull my pants up to my butt.

I can eat my body weight in Oreos and then I cry to my husband that I can't lose the last ten pounds and Mommy pooch. I keep expecting it magically disappear.

if it makes you feel any better or helps to mentally justify we have two baby bjorns (both were gifts). It works well because im so tiny, we keep one adjusted for me and the other for my husband

I'd totally figure out a way to justify it if I could figure out a way to find $220 in the budget without pulling from savings. :-<

I thought of another. I don't have regular sized wine glasses for some reason, just those little ones. So I'm drinking my wine out of a coffee mug. A really big coffee mug.
