Andplusalso I was talking to my (pretty much) sister in law (we've been friends since high school) she was saying she has no friends besides me that she talks to anymore, I told her that I had about 100 bumpies and her. Her defense was she has a bunch of friends on fb but she doesn't talk to them. I said I talk to these ladies everyday, they are legit internet friends!
Yesterday I bought a Becco carrier. It's a fourth carrier. For a few seconds I wondered if I could hide it from DH and just use it when he's not around He's not a jerk - I just knew he'd think I was nuts. He did say "So does this one have air conditioning or something?"
I have three carriers, but I've never worn any of them in public or around the house for a long period of time.
I felt like the K'Tan was squashing LO when he was squishy. Probably needed a larger size for my chest.
I did try one of the structured carriers around the house but I'm not totally comfortable with it. I also didn't buy them soon enough to try when LO was squishy and non-mobile. Now he's just on the move and is very independent.
Maybe this will change if I eventually have 2 kids and need my hands free.
I am definitely using them more with two kids. With my first I used the Moby when little and then the Bjorn once in a while. Now I'm using them almost every time we go out if it's just me. It's still not ideal, but I'm a little more able to run after the pre-schooler and deal with public potty episodes (a hidden camera for those events would entertain many, I'm sure.)
Im afraid to tell my 3yo that swim class is cancelled this afternoon (teacher is sick). She's going to have a total melt down, so I plan on bribing her with hot chocolate and marshmallows if she can hold it together.
FYI: she was up at 2:30 this morning saying, "mommy! It's friday!!! I go swimming today!!"
I think it's hilarious that the peep on TTC are so hard core that they can't tell that half the posters with idiotic questions this week are obvious MUD/goading them to reply, thus keeping that board going. I'm envisioning bump peons typing up the dumbest drivel they can think of to post, just to get a response.
I remember that. It took me a few weeks to lose the stretched pooch. I wouldn't be surprised if someone with a smaller baby, longer torso, etc could get back so quickly to this.
Here's a juicy one (maybe): sometimes I think getting married and having a baby was a HUGE mistake.
Oh no! Anything in particular that makes you feel this way?
There are many things. I think it's mostly my anxiety/depression/low self esteem that cause me to compare myself waaaayyyy too much to other people. My mom used to always say "don't make mountains out of molehills" and I still tend to do that. It's hard to change my mindset sometimes. I really need to get to a good therapist but who has the time?!?

Finding a good one is so important!! I hope you can either find one or a friend to talk with.
And I totally get the comparison aspect (I feel like I do that with every part of my life!)
