Mine: I am looking forward to having DS baptized at the end of the month, but dreading the lunch we are hosting afterwards.
I am not looking forward to watching DS be passed around because stupid people have not been giving him back when he starts crying. He is my baby, and I know that he usually only cries when he is hungry, so give him back NOW. None of this "oh grandma doesn't mind when he cries" crap. I mind, give him here. Not to mention the pissing contest it is going to be between the grandparents of who gets to hold the baby the most.
Also, I do not want BIL to bring his girlfriend, but I don't really have much of a say now that DS is this old. I don't know her, don't bring her to an intimate family gathering at my house.
I wish we could do things with just my family and not DH's because I don't like them and that is just the kind of raging bitch that I am.
@stoofewok I have done nothing at all yet except try not to overeat. I am waiting until after my 6 week checkup start thinking about it. I have not even stepped on any scale.
Hmmm...yeah. I did nothing with DS to lose the baby weight. I did eventually lose it just by nursing. I don't think I'm going to be as lucky this time around with DD. Yesterday at my six week check up I had gained a pound since my two week check up.
BFP with #2- Sept 6, 2013 EDD May 20, 2014 MC Sept 26, 2013 @ 6 wks 2 days
FFFC#3: I'm so tired of doing laundry that most of the time I get spit up on these days I just try to wipe it off and figure it will dry. I don't even care if I'm going out. Except the curdled milk spit up - usually I change if there is a lot of that.
LO had a full on meltdown at Target today and was screaming for what seemed like forever. I left H to feed him, it didn't help. I then changed him and bounced him but he was inconsolable. After about 20 minutes of non stop screaming H found us (not hard, the whole store knew where we were) and offered to take him while I ran out to the car to grab the Moby.
I may have taken a little (a lot) longer than I had to before venturing back in.
Of course LO was happily sucking away on his pack when I returned...
Last night, FI fell asleep around 10:30. I stayed up with LO for her 12:00 feeding (which usually lasts until 1:00 because I like to keep her propped up for awhile to prevent spit up in her sleep). She didn't wake back up until 5! A miracle. I woke up FI and begged him to feed and change her because I said I had been up since midnight with her and never went to bed. I knew if I didn't get up that I could buy myself an extra few hours of sleep. It was glorious and I'm not sorry.
I feel a strong sense of joy from watching the milk shoot out of my nipples when I pump. Also, I treated myself to Taco Bell on Wednesday after running errands with LO all day. While baby wearing, I chomped into my chalupa and a clump of cheese fell into my Baby K'Tan wrap and down the front of LO's onsie. I left it there.
For whatever reason, I was pissed at DH last night during a MOTN feeding - I'll admit mostly because I was so tired. It turned into a brief spat and then I noticed DS had stopped sucking and I looked down to see if he was asleep but he wasn't. He was wide eyed and staring up at me with a scared look on his face. I need to get my MOTN diva under control.

I may or may not make gun shooting noises while pumping. Pow pow!!!
I always feel like I'm putting together a gun when I put my pump together. Especially screwing the bottle part in. Not that I have ever put together a gun.

It is the strangest sensation to feel the milk squirting out and even more odd when you hear it.
I bought yet another carrier today. I found it in a consignment store and then DS1 told me he had to pee so I just kind of impulse bought it and rushed out to get him to the bathroom. Oh and then the kid peed ALL over the place in the trader Joe's' bathroom (closest one to us) because the toilet was too dang high and there was nothing to boost him up so I attempted to balance him on the front of the stroller and that was too high, so he sprayed everything behind the toilet. Whoops.
He said, "momma clean it up?" And I hastily said "momma doesn't clean public toilets..." And then another mom headed in after us with her three kids and I was worried the place reeked of pee. (There wasn't any pee on the seat, that I would have wiped off). Sorry lady.
I've already lost all my pregnancy weight and I'm actually down significantly from pre-pregnancy weight (all the weight I lost first trimester when into building the baby apparently). Take this humble brag with a grain of salt though: I'm still clinically obese. Still feels good to see a new number on the scale though.
Also I've had my first two pumpkin spice lattes of the season this week. Drive thru on the way to baby appointments, score.
OMG they're back in season??? I just got irrationally excited!
@sillermoon I justified a pumpkin spice late by getting NF milk, lol. It still taste the same level of pumpkin creaminess bc I neglected to skip on the whip. Mmmm

Hurray that you lost all your preg weight and then some!! I'm hoping the same happens for me. It's coming down, but slowly. I need to clean up my eating more to really reap the benefits of the milk production burn.
I am sooooo tired of nursing every 20-30 min from 7-11pm feeding. And unlatching. Then screaming because she's unlatched. BBG hunts for the nip like she's bobbing for apples- when it's already in her mouth. Lather, rinse repeat.
I'm tired of being the baby's caregiver and not the wife too.
I just had a huge frustrated ugly cry.
This!! I am right there with you. It's exhausting, and SO frustrating. My son does the same thing. Latching, unlatching, then he'll stop sucking for awhile and seem to be asleep, but if I try to pull the nip out, he's like oh no you don't! And back to nursing. And because of my sciatica I can't for the life of me get in a comfortable position. So the whole while my entire right leg is in pain. Awesome.
I really hate when strangers want to talk to me about LO past asking how old she is and/or saying how cute/little she is. I don't know you, I don't care to hear your opinions about how much or how little hair you think she has, how your teenagers drive you nuts, etc. I just want to get my latte and get out of the cafe.
I have a late FFFC. I get so nervous when my husband handles the baby, especially at night. I know it's awful to say, but I'd rather deal with him. I can just look at my h and tell he's uncomfortable and tense. I know he's just got to get used to it and the only way to really do that is probably keep handling him, it just makes me nervous as crap.
Example: I had to use the bathroom so bad, as in bowel movement, and had to ask H to feed him so I could go. It's so early in the morning and if I were dealing with LO, H would he knocked out, but I can't go back to sleep at all knowing he's in there. When I got done I offered to get him, but H told me no and to go to bed, which Im thankful for but I can't. Lol.
