I have one similar to PP. Spit up/breast milk on our sheets - def went back to sleep in it. In all fairness I changed the sheets later.
I look forward to getting out of the house by myself. It's such a nice reprieve to be alone and out doing things. I also look forward to going back to work.

My baby is currently sleeping on her tummy - I had to put her down to take care of my toddler and I knew she'd wake up if I put her on her back like you're supposed to. She's so comfy looking and still thinks she's snuggling on her mama!
@FarmBoysWife - I'm the opposite mom fail - in nursing, changing, getting the LO to sleep, I forget to change my toddlers diaper until I notice something leaking - oops!
Yesterday while changing my toddlers poopy diaper, I put a tiny drop of lotion on her hands to distract her. Usually she gets all happy and rubs it in. She decided to eat it. Then, she said "yummy, yummy!" I confess that I seriously thought about tasting some.
I lied to the world and said #3 was an oops baby. There was no oops. We were in a great place and decided to have another. But my family would have been full of judgment and unnecessary comments, so I lied and said I missed a pill. I don't know if I'll ever tell them the truth.

I keep dressing LO in onesies that say things like "I Love Mommy", "You Are My Sunshine", and "You Make Me Happy" because last week I really needed the reminder as I handled all her melt downs.
I found out yesterday at my doctors appointment that I've lost 40 pounds since having B, and I'm only a few lbs away from my pre pregnancy weight.
I'm totally planning on buying new clothes this weekend and rubbing it in the faces of everyone who said ANYTHING about my weight gain during pregnancy. Bitches.
I haven't washed my hair in 5 days and it has been in a pony tail nearly continuously since we brought her home. I even sleep with it pulled back so I don't have to deal with it being in my way for MOTN feedings.

So much this except with my first! MH and I got married after 5 months of dating (courthouse wedding). We really wanted to start our family right away so I stopped taking the pill. We thought it would take a while for me to get regulated but we got pregnant the first month!
I told my mom I missed a pill since she was still freaking about the shotgun wedding. Now she is thrilled and loves her granddaughter but I don't think I will ever tell her the real story.
This is gross... DD dropped my hairbrush in the toilet after she peed in it. I pulled it out, rinsed it and used it. I have time to sanitize things for the baby but not myself, apparently.
My nipples hurt so bad from nursing around the clock that I keep hoping LO will fall asleep at the breast. Instead of waking her up to finish, she's going back in her crib. I know she'll wake up again when she needs more.
I have another that I'm ashamed to admit - DH bought a chocolate rabbit at the grocery store yesterday. I don't think it's going to survive until he gets home... It's already down to the tail end only.
I'm doing a 5k tomorrow . I haven't been released from my doctor to do any exercising . I'm doing it with my sister and some friends ... But I won't be running , just walking !

I know my mil has a very limited window to spend time with the twins since she lives in new zealand, but, I'm ready for her to go home now. She's been rearranging things in my house, yelling at my furbabies when I'm in the other room nursing, and just driving me insane.
I put lo in the baby Bjorne and made dinner including being near the stove and handling a sharp knife. Tried to be careful of his dangling feet but was determined to cook dinner"
I'm taking DS1 to multiple Easter egg hunts so I can load up on candy. I'm planning on telling him that the elf in the shelf or leprechaun or Easter bunny has been sneaking in and stealing his candy if he asks.
This is gross... DS ran in our room right after he pooped in the potty and my H hadn't wiped his ass yet. Well, I didn't know that and let him get on our bed. Now there is shit on my bedspread and I haven't washed it yet... It's been several days...
I secretly resent when visitors come over without food for the exhausted parents and only to sit around with LO in front of the tv. I mean, come on...everybody knows new parents can barely find time to eat. The last time the ILs came over to see the baby, I asked my BIL to do our dishes. Felt great.
I had LO home for a week before i ever gave her a bath.
LO 4 weeks, and he's only had 2 baths. We've wiped him down several times, but only 2 real baths.

I confess if been sitting in this chair with LO alternating nursing and napping since about 8:30am (it's now 11:30) and I'm kind of ok if we sit here for the rest of the day! (But I probably won't be still saying this come 4 pm...) if I put him down he wakes up so I get nothing done either way!
Also, here's a real confession I'm going to get flamed for (I'm especially looking at that chick from parenting...) about a week ago LO was sleeping in our bed and, um, leaked through several layers of clothing, sleep sack, and a burp cloth and receiving blanket on the bed. (I guess the diaper wasn't on tight enough...)
I still haven't changed the sheets. :-(
(In my defense it was just the tiniest amount through all the layers and didn't even smell! It dried...But don't tell DH...) I guess that should be on my list for today...

I think this goes without saying. We've had some recent guests who haven't been particularly helpful. Don't ask if you can do something--just do it. Ask us what our favorite take out place is, make lunch, ask if you can hold the baby for 10 minutes so I can shower.
I mean, I love family and they're all great with both of my kids, but I just wish they would be a little more helpful.
I had a friend ask to stop by and bring us dinner, then, she and her husband did exactly what she said, stayed until 10:30 that night and then packed up what was left of the food she brought and brought it home with her... (major run-on sentence)
My confession is just that I have no idea what I'm doing, and feel like I'm failing at whatever I am doing. I cant believe they just let me take her home! I can't even burp her. In fact I'm scared to because she spits all the time. Sometimes she chokes. But she prolly spits because she never burps. This morning it was definitely full feed quantity waterfall all over me and all over her and I ugly cried. And could ugly cry again just thinking about it. She has some quiet awake periods but I mostly feel like when she's awake, she's crying and so I'm constantly feeding her. But now I'm wondering if I'm over feeding her and that's why shes spitting. Or maybe shes just a baby and I just can't deal? Sorry this turned into a dear diary. The confession is I feel like I'm mickeymousing this whole parenting thing.
Last night I woke up multiple times thinking I had been nursing DS, but I was dreaming it, not actually feeding my child...oops. My cat liked the extra cuddles--more than once when I woke up, she was up under my arm purring!
I have these dreams too! I wake up in a panic thinking I was nursing her in bed and fell asleep. Look over and she's snoozing in the Pack and Play. So weird.
I feel guilty for talking about my ILs so much on here, ONLY because I know my husband would think it was wrong for me to vent on the internet. He doesn't usually want to hear it though, and I don't want to talk abut them to my family and cause tension, so this is really my only outlet.
My confession is that I haven't changed my bump name because I don't care if they find this. I doubt I'll ever have a @SassyFlats moment, but if I do maybe they'll eventually have a wake up call.
I'll probably still change it, because I wouldn't want my husband to have to be put in the middle of the war it might start.
@CHalePhoto I felt THE EXACT SAME WAY back in the day-- I needed to vent but didn't want to tell my family or anyone else who knew or would meet my ILs what I was going through. I thought venting online was kinder because it wasn't anyone who knew them. Blew up in my fucking face.
My husband knew I was venting online, and he was put in an awful spot. I was terrified that he'd side with them when they confronted him, even though he already knew and was aware of some of the things I was venting about. He really was put in the position of "us or them" and it was excruciating. On the bright side, I have never since worried that he'd choose anyone else over me. He chose to stick by me (and still marry me) even when I had an awful lot of egg on my face. He's a pretty awesome guy.
But you still make me nervous when you vent! (although I can toooooooooootally relate) :-S
I still have 15 lbs of baby weight to lose. I'm not exercising or eating healthy either. And I don't care. As my favorite beer koozie says, "Maybe manana"
@WickedNE no, it was years ago when I was engaged... on a different forum. But yes, my ILs busted me and it was THE MOST HORRIBLE THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED IN MY LIFE.
I believe it was in another confessions thread a couple months back that I originally stated that it makes me super anxious when people vent about their ILs on the forums because I'm terrified they'll have a similar experience.
ANYWAY.... no more details. Because a repeat of that drama is the LAST thing I need these days. We're barely over it 4 years later. I don't think *I* am totally over it... I'm still humiliated and wish I could hide from my ILs forever.
I am moving into a new house in 2 weeks. I haven't packed anything and don't plan to until DH starts. Everyday he asks me to start packing, "if possible" Every evening I tell him that I just couldn't because LO needed caring for and I was trying to catch up on house chores. I hate packing.
I have already lost all my pregnancy weight at 10 days post baby. I swear I didn't do anything. I am hungry all the time.
I keep ignoring all of my mother's calls. She just wants to know how we are doing but I don't feel like telling her we are doing well every single day. It's like she doesn't believe it.
I suck at bathing LO. He has so many rolls it's so hard to get under every single one.

- We had 5 baby showers for this kid. 1 family, 2 friends, his work, my work.
- I had a half hour downtime during labor between the epidural and pushing. During this time I did my makeup so I would like the first pictures of us.
- I miss being pregnant for the attention I got.
Apparently I'm a huge AW IRL.
