Ive been wearing the same bra for over a week. I can't actually recall what day I put it on. DD puked down my front two days ago, I wiped it out and carried on. Granted we were away at the time and I hadn't thought to pack a spare, but we've been home for 8 hrs and it never crossed my mind to put on a clean one.
Confession: wearing the same bra for about a week is a regular occurance.
Angel baby June 2013, DD born 22 April 2014, BFP 10 Sept 2015 - Due 22 May 2016
I don't get the hype about 1Direction. I don't like any of their songs and I don't find any of them attractive. Probably because they look 12. This is probably blasphemous on the parenting board.
I also just posted one in the RTT- my dogs used to be my everything, but now I can't wait until they move on to their rainbow bridge. I'm just over cleaning up their hair and the constant pacing around.
Re: your dogs. I've been feeling the same way about my cats.
Also, I've been hearing the term "rainbow bridge" a lot lately. Did I miss some cultural reference or something?
LO pooped and puked in his crib the other day. Instead of changing the sheets for his mid-morning nap (I forgot), I covered it with a receiving blanket and laid him down.
In reference to the baby names thread where I talked about how Quebecois pronounce Seamus wrong all the time: back when Harry Potter came out I actually thought it was pronounced Seem-iss as well for pretty much all of my teens. So I totally knew what I was signing my kid up for. Just really like the name now that I know how to say it.
@avidkeo at this point I only have one bra that I can wear "> so that is a semi regular occurrence.
I'm not BF and my boobs have gone back down, but I still wear the same bra a few days in a row. Although they are swelling again, so I guess that can be my excuse. Maybe?
^^same bra for days when not BFing seems a little less gross/confessional to me.
My bras have milk stains on the insides, but since I only have a few nursing ones, they don't get washed every time they get milky. That's a little gross, but being okay with that is part of being a mommy.

@Roufi - How is it supposed to be pronounced? I must have missed it.
@dani+california - Those are completely valid fears. My DD is only in kindergarten and some of the "mean girls" stuff is already beginning. I think I'll teach her to fight .
Along with the "fear" theme, my confession is that I'm scared to death of the world that our kids are inheriting. I know this was discussed a while back, but recent reports of Ebola, random beheadings, and mutilations in the name of Allah have me terrified.
On that note. I confess I've been considering reading some steamy romance novels just so I feel in the mood again. Ugh, the no libido thing is getting old real fast.
DH goes back to work today and i am so excited to have alone time with the baby without constant video game guns in the background and incessant chatter about nothing. (He hates long silences) yes I will miss him but we had a routine before we moved and now my days feel like one constant entertainment. If the baby is napping during the day, he wants attention.
Gypsy Sisters is my current favorite show to watch.
Agree with all things regarding girls... I coach cheer and I think the best thing I can do is teach her to be nice and put her around other girls as early as possible. Groups of them, in all different shapes, sizes and personalities. Team activities. There were always people I would have never gotten to know on my teams growing up, but being around them and almost being forced to become family made me love them and appreciate them for the good things they brought to the table. I was popular in high school and I was a bigger bitch to the "mean girls" in my group of friends than I ever was to others. Also, I still tend to judge them harshly for the way they acted to people. There's a good confession for you.
On the subject of bitchy girls, a girl from high school also had a baby in April. She was the beautiful popular cheerleader and I was awkward, ugly, and struggling with an eating disorder. She's a Facebook friend and when she posts photos I compare myself to her and get a sick satisfaction that my baby is cuter and I've lost more pregnancy weight. Then I feel like a total monster because she's actually very sweet and she's never done anything to me other than just being better looking. X_X
I just can't get out of the habit of comparing myself to her! It's very important to me to raise my daughter to be a better person than I am. I don't want her to be a 34 year old with the insecurity of a 15 year old girl.
Another reason why we are one and done. I adore my boy, and have no sentiments pulling at the heart strings of "someday it would be nice to have a little girl!"
I have reached the part of BFing and being at SAHM with DS that I absolutely hated with DD: the age where they become completely attached to you and unable to fall asleep without a boob in their mouth and every bedtime and naptime takes at least 30 minutes and then they might wake up the second you set them down. I hate it. It makes me crazy and itchy and cranky and annoyed with my baby which then makes me feel guilty and terrible. I daydream about work and daycare.

This makes me think of Big Daddy and the newspaper everywhere!!!
~ Leah, Rachel and Gabriel were born on May 27, 2013 (23 weeks) ~
Thank God for the diaper sprayer.... I massively sharted myself yesterday afternoon.
(Thankful, though, that a shart was the worst of my sickness yesterday.)
Lol, I love you. That confession made my day, I sharted a few weeks ago and I wasn't even sick :-??
I rotate 2 bras and change whenever I happen to do laundry, @avidkeo. I'm not buying more bras while I'm still BFing and my boobs are doing weird things.
This is my MO when it comes to nursing bras too.
Re boys...I think boys have their own challenges. I have a (relatively, for a 2 year old) gentle, sweet boy. When people complain about rough and tumble toddler boys being loud and noisy and dirty and rambunctious, I can't relate. If it goes quiet and I go looking for him, he can typically be found sitting in a chair reading a stack of books, rather than destroying things. The middle school world can be a hard place for a quiet, introverted boy so I worry about him (says the former middle school teacher).
Edited because stupid mobile posted before I was done.
Another one: I'm skipping work this morning so I can drop Isla off at daycare and come home and craft. And I'm sooooo excited about it I can't stand it. I'm ready to drop her off and she isn't even awake yet.
And another (like I said, I'm waiting here, ready to go). We bed share due to pure laziness. She sleeps in her crib just fine. She would probably sleep in there after she wakes just fine... But she gets up at 4am and I would rather bring her in bed, feed her and go right back to sleep than get myself up and take her back to the nursery.
While we were outside DS was chewing on his Sophie giraffe, it fell on the ground. I picked off the grass and handed it back. Pretty sure he got his first taste of dirt.
DH and I were supposed to go away this weekend for my birthday. Finances being what they are, it's not going to happen. So the plan was to do something around here that wouldn't cost much and it would be my choice. Something else came up so that this cannot happen. So it was going to be dinner out tonight. Again, finances get in the way. So a movie rental and DH cooking dinner at home for my birthday..okay, sounds good...until DH has to leave for work at 5:30am which is an hour early and won't be home until 8pm... So I'm cooking my birthday dinner and eating it alone... All of this rambling to say I'm having a pity party and nobody can stop me.
Our next door neighbor finally moved down for season and I'm so bummed! Now I'll have to start putting a shirt on when I let the dog out back and probably move my workout routine inside aka shaking my ass to rap music.
I'm also thankful we had a boy. I don't think I have enough estrogen or empathy to have a girl and I was a boy crazy, school skipping, body piercing, smoking, drinking teenager. Sorry Mom!
I dont get the appeal of camping out and waiting in line for hours for an iphone. I think its a little ridiculous.
It's absurd! I walked by the line downtown near my work yesterday and just shook my head.
Now, my coworker waited in line at 5AM (actually took the day off work) waiting for a new Cabela's to open the other day. The dude lives for fishing so it was pretty endearing to hear him tell about how awesome the new store was.
My husband waited in line for hours to be one of the first 100 people inside a new wing joint. For his effort, he earned a free plate of wings per week for the first year the restaurant was open

I think we have the same life, same situation here!
When I found out LO was a girl (my second) I actually stressed out at first thinking - two! Two girls?! Basically for the same reasons everyone has mentioned. I kept thinking that its going to be my job to teach them everything they need to know to navigate the waters out there and it scares the crap out of me! I don't want them to be as insecure and vulnerable as I felt when I was a teen. I felt like maybe with one we'd get lucky and escape some of the big pitfalls - body image issues, bullying... But with two..forget it... At least one of them is bound to be a hormonal mess...
The only reason I'm excited about the iPhone 6 is I'm hoping the 5 will now be a free upgrade instead of $199. 2 years later and I'm suppose to feel like I'm getting a deal?! Psh.
I got caught up in the hype and ordered the iphone 6 today. I wasn't going to since I didn't want to pay $200. Then they sent me the trade in offer fro $200. Fell for it. I'm so weak.
I am eligible for an upgrade a month. I am so excited to get one
Girls can be little demons. A lot of my body image issues are a result of teasing. Starting at probably 8?
My confession is: My husband and I have not EVER had cable/satellite since we have been married! (Going on 3 years). My mom has had to tell me the World news up to now. that's ridiculous to me. Lol
In regards to the girl thing: I always wanted boys for this reason. I was homeschooled from 3rd until high school, so I have no idea what going through junior high is like. It sounds awful from the way everyone describes it. I'm terrified Edolie will come home with issues, and I'll have no idea how to help her.

I've held out on having cable over satelite because I hate looking at the satelite dishes... I think I may finally give in because I *think* we could potentially save $100 a month...
I couldn't sleep last night so I stayed up until 1am watching modern family and eating junk food. My DH was off today and I told him I was up all night with the baby so he let me sleep in and cooked everyone breakfast!
But you went to public high school. It's the same shit.
Truth. Junior high is just a shock to the system because it's the first encounter with pubescent monsters who were at one time fairly nice kids.
Well that makes me feel better? :-S I went to a big school and was really shy and quiet so no one messed with me. Hopefully she'll be the same way, but I feel like I missed out on a lot because of that. So I don't know!

I saw a huge spider running around in the laundry basket, I'm not going to tell my partner and let him empty it.... He's more scared of spiders than I am..... \:D/
Ech, school. I got picked on in elementary school for being really small. Middle school I was called "rich bitch" because I had a big house. In high school I was rumored to have had a boob job because I had big boobs. People will make fun of any kid, for any reasons, despite the little control you have over these things. It's kind of stupid to make fun of someone for things that weren't all that bad in the first place. I'd really not have a problem with people thinking I was wealthy and had nice tits nowadays.
