FFFC

I've never started one of these before! I'm psyched!

Here are mine...
1) expectas post made me realize I don't say the word penis or vagina or any of those words- it's hooha and either winkle or twin and berries in this house, even before kids. I blush when I even hear the word. I called it my hooha while giving birth, it's Tried and true for me

2) DH and I actually had to schedule intimate time for this weekend. I have always had body issues and this second baby has made me so self conscious that it is impossible for me to get in the mood, not to mention nursing hormones and pure exhaustion from neither child sleeping through the night. I want to want to, I'm just struggling right now. I think if it's scheduled I can get where I need to be mentally to try and enjoy it again like I used to.

3) My mil keeps the baby for my SIL while she works. She just told me that after a full day of working she goes to a 90 minute yoga class. When I worked I practically busted through the daycare walls like the Kool-aid guy because I missed DD so much. I can't tell if I am jealous or judgmental of her...

  • DD2 is still screaming and crying after 30 minutes (off and on, more on than off). I'm not going to get her. In fact, I'm seriously considering turning the baby monitor off so I can enjoy my wine and book in (relative) peace. The only reason I haven't so far is I'm afraid she'll work herself up so much she throws up, but the cries are getting slowly quieter (right now she's just calling, "Hello? Hello?") so I think it's safe to turn it off.

    BFP1: DD1 born April 2011 at 34w1d via unplanned c/s due to HELLP, DVT 1 week PP
    BFP2: 3/18/12, blighted ovum, natural m/c @ 7w4d
    BFP3: DD2 born Feb 2013 at 38w4d via unplanned RCS due to uterine dehiscence

    I read somewhere that experts say this is a good thing to do. Since we're TTC it's been "scheduled" for DH and I and I feel like it's helped.

    I used to bust through the door to get the kids too. Until the day I picked my son up and he asked he can't stay for art. It made me realize that he enjoyed the time playing. Now I run before getting the kids, it actually guess me some alone time with in turn makes me better when I'm with them

    I heard something once about having some kind of signal for when you want sex....either partner can use it and both agree that if the other one throws up the bat signal (let's say it's laying something on the other one's night stand) then both parties agree to do the deed w/in 24 hours.  I like the idea because whoever is feeling frisky gets their needs met and the other one has time to get their mind right.  :)

    We are so thankful that our second daughter, Lillian Elizabeth "Lily", was born healthy and happy on February 11, 2013.  We love her to pieces.  

    We lost our first daughter, Hannah Grace on May 4, 2011.  She was buried on May 14 during a beautiful service at my home church. We are grateful that if she could not be here with us, that she is healed and whole with the Lord. We look forward to the day when we will get to meet her. We love her so much.


  • I did this in vent but I am still mad so I am sharing her too:

    My vent....My mother in law watches my LO on Friday's, she knows if there is an issue, my mom who lives right by me can step in and my sister who lives right by me could step in....YET let me drop him off and when I walked in my Father in law tells me he has a cold and hasn't been to work and feels like crap. WTF, so you let me take my baby there? Why, why would you do that? I stood there staring at them like ARE YOU F-ING serious. I am seriously PISSED. These are the days I hate being a working mother because I have to trust other people to make good decisions for my kid and today that DID NOT HAPPEN.

  • I have my four-week post-partum appointment on Monday.  Even if the doc gives the all-clear, I'm still going to tell DH we have to wait to DTD for another two weeks.  I know he's starting to get antsy, and I don't blame him, but I'm just not there yet and I'm freaking exhausted because he keeps waking me up to "snuggle."  I love him and I appreciate the sentiment, but sleep>sex right now.

    Just throw him a pity bj and call it a day. I made a deal with DH that we would do it 2 more times before baby arrives. So far I've got 1 more to go and 2 and a half weeks to complete it!
