My other confession - I am totally trying to learn how to do home cervical checks. But I'm horrible at it.
I've been considering this but for some reason I'm scared to go in there. I don't know if I'm afraid I might poke/tear something I shouldn't? Or be freaked out by what I feel? No idea what my hesitation is, had no problem feeling cervix before pregnancy. I think I've just made my vagina an off limits area to anyone without a medical degree lol.
I don't think this is recommended due to increased risk for infection, which is why many doctors don't do them... But hey, do you!
Yea I know. I wash my hand really well and I know my water hasn't broke yet. Does your DH scrub up before you have sex?
Yep, we are probably in the minority- DH always scrubs up before we have sex. Often a quick shower but at least a sink scrub of his bits.
@kristynmac I watched this episode the other day and it had a whole new meaning to me! Lol
ETA: My confession: I also plan on singing "I like big butts" to my child to try and make her laugh. If it worked for Ross and Rachel, it's good enough for me.
Well, I'm with you all on being too tired. By the time we got into bed last night, I couldn't even keep my eyes open. Maybe tonight? I wanted nothing to do with sex post-partum last time, and it took us a few months to actually do it and even longer for it to become enjoyable again. I feel like we need to one more time before baby comes, because otherwise it would be wayyy too long.
One last FFFC (on saturday) - I'm actually really looking forward to daycare. Our center is really structured, and I feel like they absolutely know what they are doing - which is more than I can say for his parents at this point. Being able to leave my son in capable hands and go to work - alone - is already sounding amazing. I don't know how SAHM's do it.
@bookhousegirl Lol I did this last Sunday and told DH that
it was probably going to end up being his last time for a while. He agreed to
it, but then said "If I hit his head, then it's over!" Poor guy was
so scared he was going to hurt me or baby. Don't know how, but I ended up
enjoying it.
@dressagedarling Don't do it!!! I used DH's deodorant once
because I was too lazy to go to the store. I ended up having an allergic
reaction to it. It was bad- I couldn't wear my own deodorant (once I bought it)
for a good two weeks.
@ashleybaker712 Vagina poking... I just snorted milk all
over myself when I read that. Thanks for the laugh! I told my mom something
this week about how I've had so many fingers in my vag this week and none of
them have been DH's.
SFFC? Related to deodorant, I used DHs once and I've bought men's ever since. It's old spice and I get one of the more feminine scents but it works so much better than any women's deodorant. I'll never go back.

I love our daycare. I feel like dd gets great structure and they do so many good projects that I wouldn't be able to organize at home. Plus she loves her friends and teachers.
Unfortunately, with 2 kids, we can't afford it so I'll be sahm and I'm getting really worried about how I'll keep them both entertained and educated to the same standard. And I'll miss working...

I love the hawk ridge kind for some reason. It smells fairly neutral to me.

@Lynnlove28 Same! They hardly make any deodorants for women that don't include anti-perspirant, and I hate anti-perspirant. So I've been using Old Spice and/or Arm & Hammer Naturals for almost a decade!
DH will sometimes remark that it's weird that I smell like his best friend (a male). He bought me the Victoria's Secret Bombshell perfume when I freaked out about Zika so I sometimes smell like a very weird combination of male gym rat and citrus/floral female. Whatevs.

I may just give it a go then! I was using an all natural deodorant previously, but it wasn't cutting it so I switched back. Men's deodorant would be significantly cheaper than my clinical strength one I had to go back to.
@Lynnlove28 Same here! Years ago I was visiting family and forgot to pack deodorant. I found a men's Speed Stick my brother left behind and tried it, and I've never looked back! The men's versions are cheaper, larger, and seem to work better.

My too! I love old spice that doesn't have aluminum in it!
@Allisun85 I love our daycare too, and am so happy DS goes there 3 days a week. Even when I have a day off, I still send him. I actually feel like he has a better day there, than he does at home with me for 8 hrs. He gets to play with a bunch of other kids and do fun projects and outings, I'm just not creative enough (or probably patient enough) to be a SAHM.

I'm the same. I'm good for a few hours of fun and then I'm exhausted and out of ideas.
