    DH and I missed seeing LO roll from back to tummy for the first time last weekend. We were having some adult time and he was in his room in his crib playing with toys. When we went to get him afterwards he was on his tummy. #sorrynotsorry

    I use as many adjectives as I can think of to avoid using the word weird because I can never remember how to spell it.  



    Just had to google it just now to make sure I spelled it correctly.  I didn't the first time.

    Now you know every time I use the word "strange" it is because I am afraid to use weird.
    This made me laugh!

    I don't know if this is a confession or something that's just been a weight on my shoulders. Anyways, I feel guilty for being a SAHM. My H says he actually prefers it now that we pulled the trigger but I don't know. I wish I could help and be an extra income when unexpected expenses come up. We've been a little stressed about what the flight and hospital bills will be and I miss my income. I hate everything being put on his shoulders.
    Completely understand and not flame worthy at all!

    I don't think this is really a FFFC but I need to say it and i didnt want to make a new thread.

    last night Itty bit woke up so I nursed her to sleep and DH tried to put her back down in her crib. She must have woken because i hear screaming so i went to check it out. DH had spit up all over him and Itty bit was still spitting up and choking. I put her on the floor on her side so she'd stop choking but it didn't help, her eyes started glazing over and she started having trouble breathing. I sat her on my leg and that seemed to help, she calmed down and started gasping for breath, her color went from bright red to normal. Such a scary moment...

    I'm scared for my little Itty bit. She's had issues before while in the hospital she would decel while eating a bottle, it would be so bad she'd turn blue :/

    I haven't called her pedi yet. Maybe my FFFC is that I'm a little scared to call.

    After it was all said and done with she had a loud burp so i think that was the main cause of it all...

    While my FI and I have sex atleast once a week, my libido is at an all time low and I actually look forward to getting my period. More often then not, I'm thankful it's back.

    I am also afraid to call pedi.  Go do it...we will wait here to cheer you on.  You will feel better :)

    ---- edit: quote fail ----

    Agreed! You should definitely call. Some of it may have gotten into her lungs. You just never know. Fx for you and itty bit! <3

    We haven't started solids yet but I am taking LO to sample baby foods today so I can get a grocery store gift card.

    Also, I am so hungry that I am tempted to say "screw it," eat a piece of cold pizza for breakfast and just deal with the consequences. I wish I was the type of mom to do that.

    My baby pukes dozens of times a day. We are getting new carpet in March. I barely dab up the puke anymore When it gets on the carpet. So gross.

    I'm NOT getting new carpet in March and I just look in the area of where the puke was, sigh that I can't obviously see it and walk away. I can't be bothered to get down and feel around for a wet spot the size of a quarter. We'll shampoo the carpets in spring.

    Haha! Well, his pukes are probably ten times that size and you can definitely see the wet spot for hours after.

    I have never cried when dropping Little Man off to the nanny. Not even the first time.

    I can't wait to pick him up after work, and I do miss him during the day, but I've never been so distressed I've cried about it.

    Maybe I'm a bad mom. Maybe I'm just not a crier.

    I sah but when we go out and leave her with someone, I don't get sad. I don't even miss the little twerp because I know I'll see her after a few hours. I actually feel bad for the person (whichever grandma) taking care of her because I asked them to take care of my responsibility.

    Yes! This exactly. I just feel guilty making someone else take care of him. I'll see him again. I don't even miss him much. He's in good hands. But I'm always happy to see him again.

    I hate hashtags on FB.

    We pass our kid around like a hot potato at functions and have been doing so since she was 3 weeks old. She's just now (16 weeks) got her first cold and I'm pretty much 100% sure she got it from daycare.

    @Joy1192‌ I'm opposite of you. I feel guilty for LO that I work. I worry that I'm putting having money over being a good mom. I know going to work doesn't make anyone a bad mom, but it's hard to not think that when I'm the only woman in my family to continue to work after having a child. So I guess I'm trying to say you'd find something else to be guilty about even if your situation was different. I hope that everything goes smoothly with your medical bills though. Stuff like that makes tough situations so much more stressful.

    My FFC is that H and I have never waited more than 24 hours after purchase to open our Christmas gifts from each other. This year is no exception.

    That's very true. I worked up until LO was born and I always felt guilty about leaving DD1. I wish I could find a good way to make some extra cash at home but I'm not a very good salesperson so business like that are out for me.

    Yeah, I have never cried when leaving my baby either. It's not sad to me.
    The only reasons that I have cried were from exhaustion/anger/frustration. I didn't cry when I found out I was preg, didn't cry when found out the sex, didn't cry when she was born, didn't cry when I left her the first time to go to school... I don't start work until January and while I am dreading being away from her all day I don't think that I will cry then either. Sometimes I feel like I'm heartless but I think its just part of my personality.

    This - I also didn't cry at any milestone (finding out, birth, leaving him with the sitter for the first time, etc).  I felt really guilty for not crying when he was born, but its just not me.  I love him more that I ever could have imagined, but I'm just not one to cry much.  Sometimes Ive even tried to fake it so people won't think im cold hearted.

    The only reason I cried when he was born was out of fear because he wasn't breathing.

    I'm a huge crier and I didn't cry when I dropped LO off. If it makes you a bad mom then it makes me one too, but it doesn't make you one. I can't wait to see him during the day and I'm always rushing to get to him, but I don't cry when I drop him and I didn't the first time either.

    I was sure I wouldn't cry on the first day of daycare...but I did. I don't really even know why; I knew he would be fine.

    My FFFC if my kid doesn't take a bottle before daycare I'm not gonna force it, I know they like for me to feed him beforehand. Daycare doesn't like for him to go over 3 hours. Well he goes 5-6 hours sometimes at home without one. If he's content and happy, I leave him be. I told her this morning we tried twice between the times of 4:30 and 8:30 and he wouldn't take it. We also add his reflux medicine to his bottles and I happened to add it to a bottle that he wouldn't take. Whoops. 


    Also, I have bought my child nothing for Christmas (though I know he doesn't understand). Money is just too tight, but it makes me feel like crap that we haven't gotten him anything yet.

    @missmimsyy I don't like it either.  I will watch it if there is nothing else on, but I tried to watch all the seasons on Netflix and couldn't get into it.  I felt like every episode was the same. I've seen the end, I have no reason to watch the middle.

    I don't like family picture Christmas cards. I would rather get a pretty card with a personal message inside. I have a feeling we are gonna get asked why we didn't do cards at these Christmas parties but I just think they are lame/waste of money.

    My MIL keeps asking H when we are getting Christmas pictures of the boys done.  We aren't not that we are on a budget so she will have to deal with it.  My SIL prints pictures I post on Facebook and gives them to MIL and she is all pissed that she doesn't have real pictures.  Sorry I don't have hundreds of dollars to get pictures taken, print them, and then mail them to people.  If she wants them, she can pay for them.

    My other confession:  I get so annoyed that my ILs don't buy stuff for our kids.  I know how petty that sounds, but we have the only biological grandchildren and they have never once asked if there is anything we need for them.  When we go there all DS1 has to play with is old toys MIL dug out of the attic that belonged to H, or crappy old McDonalds happy meal toys.  My FIL did buy MIL some little race car of a driver she likes and she likes to tease DS1 with it, but it is still in the package and he doesn't understand why he can't play with it when she shows it to him.  It is so sad.

    We're looking into getting him an exersaucer or something like that, but it will most likely be after Christmas time. Merry like January?! Oh well..
