FFFC

Re: FFFC

  • I wanted a boy and a girl because it really devastates me to imagine my life without a daughter.  DH is dead dead dead set on the fact that he only wants to two kids.  I had gotten on board with that.

    I'm really excited for a boy too because I love the boy I already have and I think DS and mini baby boy will be great together.  But I was still really feeling like it would be a girl.  

    Mostly I'm extremely happy that the genetic tests came back clean so I'm happy for a healthy baby.  I had a moment of sadness, that's all.
    Lurker coming out to say: 1) Yea for clean test results! and 2) I know exactly what you're feeling right now. I guess my FFFC is that I cried when I found out DS2 was a boy. But I can promise you that you're in for an absolutely amazing experience by having two boys. Watching them interact is a constant source of amusement. I won't lie, I still hurt a little inside when I hear a friend is having a girl, but I would not trade the love I get from my two boys for anything. Please don't judge yourself; you're awesome and what you're feeling is totally okay.

  • Ah. Toddler conversations.

    DD: I found POOPER!
    Me: That's a storm trooper.
    DD: (ponders) I FOUND STORM POOPER!

    I love this a lot.

  • @HilarityEnsued‌, congrats on your healthy baby boy! We are expecting baby boy #2 in January, and I had the same feelings as you. This may be our last baby, and I had a moment of disappointment about not having a daughter, but I know DS will love having a little brother, and we're excited.
  • I'm going to lose my mind if this kid doesn't leave me the fuck alone to poop in peace!

  • My vote is for Zach Morris.

    Yesterday, we ran into a kid whose first name was Morris---so it can be done!

  • Kind of related to "unmet needs" discussion - I love taking care of DD (9 months) But I almost always dread spending time with/taking care of DS (4 yo) I love him obviously, and I probably spend way more energy and time devoted to his happiness and well being than anyone else in the family - but he can be demanding in a lot of ways and totally exhausts me. He's always "go go go" and it is exhausting. This has been true since he was a baby. Sometimes DH takes him out on a weekend for the morning or afternoon, and it literally feels like a vacation just DD and me. I feel really guilty about it. I really look forward to alone time with DD but not DS. I truly feel like he needs a mom who's more social and outgoing, out and about all the time... I just can't be that person. So I guess his "need" will never be met by me.
  • I like Armand too, but only because I know a teeny tiny 50-some year old man who wears funny hats named Armand. I think it might fit him better than a baby.

  • @jesuisfatiguee‌ I was kidding btw! Lame joke. And congrats @HilarityEnsued‌! I understand the momentary disappointment. If we have another, I feel like I'll panic if it's a girl because I'm worried she'll have to go through what I did/have same issues I do, but I also think I'll be a little disappointed if it's another boy. I'm weird.
    Just saw it! Not lame. Cute and funny and I love that song.
