    DH: "This baby shampoo smells so good! Why don't they make adult shampoo like this?! Would it be weird if I bought some for me?" 


    Yes. Lol

    *lurker from Sept 2016*  I lost about 156 lbs 5 or so years ago, but never could afford to get a tummy tuck.  There is a lot of excess skin.  Anyway, last night as we were getting ready for bed, my husband looks at me and says "I'm glad you never got a tummy tuck." I ask why.  He says "well now there is a use for all that extra skin."

    @Rebecca&Raphael I tore out my abdominal wall vomiting this pregnancy, and the doctor said "well if this is giving you trouble after pregnancy, we'll need to do a tummy tuck." My husband said "Oh good!... well that's a silver lining right?"

    I told DH a couple of days ago that, though I like being home with DD and I don't expect praise or anything for cleaning or taking care of our daughter or dealing with the difficult baby I babysit I do expect him to stop making comments about me not having a job or making comments about things not getting done like going to the grocery store. He agreed he hadn't meant some of the comments he made and would be better. Then last night on the way home from the grocery store we were talking about how our tax refund would be way lower this year since they'll take some for my babysitting and I don't get a paycheck like I used to. He goes so you're telling me you're not pulling your fair share? Seriously? We literally just discussed this. (Mind you he wanted me to stay home more than I originally did and we made the final decision together.) I got upset and instead of apologizing and saying he didn't mean it or saying it came out the wrong way, he got angry I was upset and said he couldn't wait for me to have this baby so I would stop being so emotional (great way to piss off an already irritated woman). We got home and he took off upstairs. So I got DD dinner and ready for bed. I take her upstairs and he tells DD he's in time out when she goes to find him. Apparently his time outs includes watching tv and playing on the computer while I got to do the whole parenting thing (we normally tag team everything when he is home and spend family time together until DDs bedtime). Next time I wish he would put me in time out instead.

    @midwestbaby I hear that from at least 5 random people at the hospital on a daily basis. Really boosts the confidence!!

    @ginger819 I would definitely be pissed about that. DH is pretty good at appreciating what I do (I'm home part time with DS), but he definitely needs a firm reminder of all he would have to do if I wasn't home as much as I am. Sometimes I find that framing it as "would you like to handle the doctors appts, laundry, cleaning, organizing our lives (!), from now on?" Puts it in perspective. Granted, my DH jokes about how he would rather stay home, but would never and could never actually do it, and he knows that. I'm sure it's harder because your DH wants to be a SAHD. I hope he starts to appreciate you more!!

    DH's overall reaction to pretty much any baby gear.  I know he's just overwhelmed by the amount of stuff coming in our house but sometimes he's a real ass about it (lots of "why do we need this?" and "seriously, more crap?").  The Mamaroo, on the other hand, he's completely fascinated with and loves to play with it already.  I don't have the heart to tell him that if this little lady doesn't absolutely love it, it's going right back to the store (for the high price tag it better be a life saver!).

    About a month ago, my flame free confession was basically that I am thrilled the hospital we're delivering at still has the traditional night nursery option so that we can send baby at night, sleep a tad, and still have baby brought in for feedings.  I need sleep, and particularly think it'll be important after a C-section.  Well, my darling husband LOVES the whole rooming-in movement and is appalled that I want to send baby to the nursery at night.  Don't get me wrong, I love how excited he is about the baby, how much he embraces taking care of the baby, and all that jazz.  I am hoping he realizes that after doing 99% of the work for baby at first, besides the obvious breastfeeding part, that a little hospital nursery time at night is a good thing.  Maybe I should woman-up and work out this disagreement before the baby comes in a week, but for now, I'm just going to count on reality setting in about 2 am the first night.

    @kwilliams3402 I used the nursery at night for all of my kiddos. I remember for my very first I felt really bad wanting to do it. The nurse told me to take advantage of it because once I got home with the baby it would not be available. You need all the rest/sleep you can get. Don't feel bad using the nursery at night.  :)

    I appreciate the support, @jamiesc58! I don't feel bad about it, at all... it's 100% husband that is resistant!

    I woke up yesterday morning (although with a newborn, there is no "morning" anymore) and saw this huge trachoe in our front yard digging a massive trench and hole.  I asked my husband what they were doing (we still don't really know and they're back again for Day 2), and he said, "building a sandbox for Baby E." Also, that hole is about 5 feet deep.  Heck of a sandbox.

    @kwilliams3402 I was so happy to hear my hospital has that option too. I was hesitant with DS, but by midnight the first night, I had changed my mind. Also, where I live, a lot of woman get baby nurses for the first few months who take care of the baby at night, so since we can't afford something like that, I have no guilt about taking advantage of the help for the first couple of nights!

    My hospital only has a NICU, no "nursery".  However, last time the nurses offered to keep her a little longer after her tests and stuff were done, and to actually do the tests away from me so I could rest.  I declined for them to keep her "extra" but I was a little more hyper because she was my first.  I'll probably take them up on keeping her with them for a little while this time.  I have a toddler to deal with when I get home and mama needs to sleep!

    We still have a nursery, and I've used it every time. Only for a couple hours a day or so, but still, it's the best sleep I got while I was there. Especially since Levi spent midnight to 3 am both nights we were there spitting up and choking on amniotic fluid. It was kinda scary. It also seems policies have changed at my hospital because they only tortured me with tummy checks and vitals once a shift! It's the most sleep I've gotten at the hospital out of my 3 kids!
