FFFC

in Cloth Diapering
Are we confessing today? Because I just took off my tank top and had a pacifier fall out of it. I have no idea how it got there and how long it had been living between my boobs. Instead of questioning it (or washing it) I considered it a lucky find and popped it back in to the crying baby's mouth.

    I have two today.

    1. I kind of want to try for a third baby, but I would only want a boy if we did. I know this is impossible to guarantee. And don't get me wrong, I love my girls to pieces, but I've always wanted a son, too. And I don't think I could handle 3 girls. So I'm torn between trying again for a boy or calling it quits and living vicariously through other people's sons. Or adopting...But that is so expensive!

    2. If I don't know you guys' kids' names, I make them up based on the letter you refer to them by. I wonder how close I am to the real names...

    @theultimatesak‌ -

    1. You're probably right. It's a big risk to take when the odds of making a boy are only 50/50. It's just a bummer b/c I like being pregnant. And I don't want to out that mental stress on myself or the kids, if it ended up being a girl. And 3 is our absolute max, so that ups the stakes even higher. :: sigh:: now I'm sad I'll never be pregnant again. :(

    2. I know some of the names. I'm pretty sure I know all your boys' names. But I don't know MK's or TJ's oldest... a separate thread could be fun :-)

    1. My advice would be if you're really only in it for a boy and not a 3rd girl, I'd not do it. Even though I'm sure you'd love a girl if you had her, it's a lot to put on a kid. 2. What do you think everyone's kids names are? This could be a fun thread of its own!
    I'm with SAK on this one.  If you just want a third child to get a boy, I wouldn't.

    I really wanted a son with my second, but that was secondary to having a second child and my daughter having a sibling (I grew up with 2 older sisters and couldn't imagine being an only child).  I would be totally fine with having all girls or all boys.

    TJ, we are the same person apparently. I was just thinking this morning about how much I hate my PP body. And how sad I was that I forgot to bring Maple's cookies with me to work.
    I need a personal trainer or something to kick my butt in gear because I always choose sleep or wine over working out and it's not helping...

    I am having a really fucking difficult time dealing with my PP body.  I have so much self hate going on right now.  And so I keep doing things like drinking a glass of wine, eating a whole bag of maple's cookies, and buying diapers to try to make myself feel better.  None of those things are going to help me lose weight or tone up.  And I just end up feeling guilty about them and thus feel worse than I did before I ate/drank/shopped.
    So... I'm either confessing that I have really low self esteem, I'm fat, I drink too much, or I bought a spence and an armadillo this morning, and fully intend to buy the BB tie dye as soon as it comes out even though we're supposed to be watching our spending. 
    Perhaps I should confess that I have zero self control lately.
    I'm right there with you.  I look at pictures of myself and hate the way I look.  But yet I can't get myself motivated to work out.

    I think it's been a viscous cycle of C not sleeping, me not sleeping because of it and then just not having the energy to work out.  Then I feel even more tired because I'm not working out.

    The only thing that has helped is I took a day off work and went shopping form myself.  I tried on a ton of clothes and found things that actually looked good on my body.  Now I at least feel better at work.

    And I avoid looking at pictures of myself.  I know I shouldn't hate what I look like, but I feel like I can accept it if I'm not reminded of it.

    @tj1979 …you did crossfit!!!!!! You are freakin' awesome.  And since you've already done it you know you could do it again.  I know the sacrifice is an hour a day with your kids-but don't your girls deserve a happy mom that feels like a million bucks?!
    I say start Crossfit up again

    Hugs @TJ1979‌ @sarenu1‌ @rugbymama‌ !! I get not liking your pp body. But I think it gets better with time. Finally a year pp I'm starting to feel normal (not perfect by any means, but better all the time).

    Think of one nice thing about yourself and let go of the negativity if you can.

    It's hard to avoid the trap of "I just pulled a supermom by keeping my kids alive today, I deserve ice cream."

    Most days, I'm proud of giving birthbirth (eta that doesn't mean you can't be proud of birth and self conscious at the same time) and like my pp body. Them I catch a glimpse in the mirror or try on old clothes.

    My fffc: I keep spider webs around in the hopes that they will catch other bugs.

    Is it wrong to not go to a bridal shower just because I don't want go? I hate showers and I've never met the bride but DH is giving me the guilts over it.

    I have been waiting all damn week for this…and I didn't forget! 

    my job is 24/7. Caring for people (supervising the people who do) with disabilities both physical/intellectual/mental.  This means that we work literally 24 hours a day. All holidays, every weekend. 

    Some people have families for holidays, but most do not so staff work on Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's…everything. 

    One woman had a family member pass away and my first thought was "yes. now Thanksgiving and Christmas she will definitely go home with her nuclear family to visit since parents don't have to take care of the grandmother anymore" and I was so relieved!

    I am an evil evil B.

    Just don't go! Lol

    I had a baby shower and bridal shower in the same day / very different locations. So I would have had to choose, and I didn't want to go to either. So I stayed home and watched netflix wkth dh. So my secret is if anyone ever asked I'd say I had the other!

    No one has ever asked though. :(

    Yesterday I was letting baby air out without a diaper. I had him on a towel and a prefold under him. He pooped a little, NBD. Well he started screaming to be fed (cluster feeding sucks). I picked him up, put him in a fresh diaper and sat down to feed him. I look over to where we were hanging out on the floor and my cat is laying on top of the pooped on prefold diaper. I couldn't get. Her to stop laying on it for anything (and I didn't want to throw anything at her).

    Reasons I'm not a cat person.

    Our old Dogzilla probably would have eaten it if he was still alive. So there's that.

    I wrapped up toys that had been packed away from my daughter for my son.  He was only a month old at Christmas and he didn't need anything.

    He did get an ornament.

    I'm not going to one in 1 week.

    It's planned for a Friday and a 3 1/2 hour drive from my home.  I'm not taking vacation time to make a bridal shower.

    Plus they aren't even registered anywhere and asked for Visa Gift Cards on the invite.  I'm not going to lie, I cringed at that one.  


    You have legitimate reasons not to go. Mine is not inconvenient or anything. I simply don't want to spend any part of my weekend socializing with strangers or oohing and ahing over kitchen towels and quesadilla makers. Because I'm a B.

    I consider this a legit reason.  And you just bought a house and need to do all that organizing and decorating stuff.

    Why would you go if you've never met the bride? That's just strange! No way would I go if I didn't know the bride.



    I'm invited because I know her fiancé. I think it's one of those traditional guest lists where every woman invited to the wedding is also invited to the shower.
