These are just gross: -I used my DH's nose hair trimmer to buzz around my eyebrows today. -I regularly pick out gunk from LO's eyes, ears, and nose, with my own pinky finger.
I'm a gunk picker too. DD has a lot of earwax that I get a lot of satisfaction out of picking off while I'm nursing her once it makes its way to her outer ear.
Yep, same! Earwax and boogers that make it to the outer parts get picked out.
DD sneezed a big booger out a couple days ago and I tried to pull the rest of it out but it kept coming like a magician's handkerchief trick. I don't know how it all fit up there.
I don't get made up for my family and close friends, but I do screen calls from my in-laws if I look like a hot mess, lol. Shallow? Yes, I know but I do.

I guess my FFFC is that I hated Jamaica and never want to go back - but now you're all making me reconsider! We went to Mo' Bay and I thought it was so gross!! I prefer Mexican vacations. They know how to party.
I am not into any beach/tropical vaca. I'd much rather go somewhere historic than sit on the beach for a week.
My mil just got here a few minutes ago. I'm really not in the mood to entertain her, so even though I'm not due to pump for another hour or two, I grabbed my pump and stuff and took off to my room as soon as she got here and told her I was overdue. DH can entertain her, I am nowhere close to feeling guilty about that either.

Go to Thailand! Beautiful scenery, lovely people, amazing food and the best beaches ever. Maybe it'll change your mind...if that doesn't, then
I hate when people say "could you ever remember what it was like before he got here. doesn't it seem like he's been here all along?"
Actually yes I remember quite clearly what life was like without him, and no it feels like he's been here 10 weeks not forever. When They say shit like that it makes me feel like a bad mom. It's not a feeling im waiting for. I'm realistic. I remember how easy it was to pick up and go, and I remember not planning sex around when he was sleeping.
Am I madly in love with him? Yes! Could I live without him now that he's here? No, put me in a ward if something happens. But don't act like I'm crazy for remembing life without an infant.
It makes me kinda sad that everyone says my little guy looks like his daddy. I love his daddy & I think his daddy is very handsome, but no one sees any of me in my baby?!

All of this!! I love DS and I can't imagine my life without him, but I do very clearly remember life before and there are times that I miss it.
I feel guilty for wanting to switch to formula because breastfeeding is going really well for me. I kind of hope my supply drops when I got back to work so I can stop and not feel so bad about it.
I totally could have written that myself. I have had the same thought about when I go back to work.

Aww, if it makes you feel better I don't think my LO looks like me or my DH. I remember during my C-section the first thought I had when I saw him was "oh, that's not at all what I had pictured!"
Where in Jamaica @dani+california ? We went to Montego Bay for our honeymoon and loved it!! Dunns River Falls is a must if you've never been
I have been there actually! Headed to Sandals Ocho Rios. Got a butler suite...I. Can't. Wait. Ehehe
We go every year to a sandals in Jamaica and have been to SGR four times. We love the butlers suites! We are going in March this year. A butlers suite is the way to go you will love it!
It makes me kinda sad that everyone says my little guy looks like his daddy. I love his daddy & I think his daddy is very handsome, but no one sees any of me in my baby?!
Ugh, this. I know she looks like him, stop telling me.
Also, my daughter has red hair and I'm so effing tired of people pointing it out. Nobody in our families have red hair. No, I don't think it's the "most adorable thing ever." Why random strangers love little red headed babies is totally out of left field for me, but it's like an open invitation to strike up a convo.
When baby wakes in the middle of the night for a feeding, if he falls asleep on my boob I try to continue feeding but if he won't budge I just burp him and put him back down. That's only for the first feeding though. For the second I change him when he falls asleep on my boob that way he wakes up a little and I can just put him on the other boob.

I have two red headed babies and holy crap is that ever true. I can't go anywhere without some stranger coming up to me and commenting on it, except I also have red hair and so they need to comment on that too.
Hilariously, when DS1 was born MIL announced that he had obviously gotten his red hair from some random cousin of hers DH has never met. Because there's no way I, the woman who birthed him, could possibly have contributed to his genes!
After an argument with DH about how he thought looking after a five week old was easy / not much work, I told him he was in charge and stormed upstairs to have a bath. I secretly spent the next two hours mentally "willing" her to cry/scream constantly so he would know what it was like for me in the day. Of course she was as good as gold... Livid...
