FFFC 4/22

in November 2022 Moms
We're all at home today because my 4 year old doesn't have school, husband and I are both "working". I took my son to a child concert at a park this morning, and now he is out and about with husband. Husband said "No pressure, but if you can maybe do a little cleaning?" I am not cleaning. I am pretending to work and spending time on The Bump.

    lol, I need to beef up my hours a bit (between fatigue and appointments I didn't have many this week) so I'm definitely bumping while working XD

    I don't know if we're going light or heavy with these today, but I've got both.

    Light/funny: I cried the whole circus performance before intermission because the performers were just putting their hearts into it.

    Heavy/serious: thanks to the insidious pervasiveness of diet culture, I'm not at all motivated to stop my nausea/aversion/morning sickness. I'm down 8ish lbs from pre-pregnancy weight, and not very sad about it. Before you worry too much about me, I am taking my prenatal, and staying hydrated via Gatorade, and keeping both of those down. I will most likely gain these 8 back + 20ish more before all is said and done, based on my 3 previous pregnancies. But honestly, I obviously have plenty of excess energy stored, and as long as baby keeps measuring on track, I'm fine to not want to eat. Flame away.

    @sejica *big hugs* I feel you on this. The nurse on Wednesday seemed surprised when I said I was about 10 lbs lighter now. I know I have disordered eating if I think too hard about it, so I don't usually, but it definitely seeps into everything

    @sejica I’m right there with you. I’ve had disordered eating for probably 17 years? And I’m down just a couple pounds from pre-this-pregnancy weight and am SO hopeful that maybe this will be the one pregnancy I don’t gain a crazy ton of weight… ugh diet culture sucks, even in pregnancy!

    I love my kids, but solo parenting for 4 days when usually I work out of the home is tough! (This is not a new opinion I always tell dh he has the harder job).  I have the utmost respect for sah parents.  It really takes it out of me to do all of the pick ups and drop offs especially since dh and I specifically worked out our arrangement to reflect our skill sets (I like to be very busy with a lot of people all day whereas he likes to chill with the kids and drive around, but still have down time during naps.)

    I am 100% confident in having my tubes removed during this repeat cs and very much feel our family is complete. But I am super sad I won’t be getting another iud. She was my bff for years.

    My husband is very much set on this being the completion of our family, but I'm still secretly hoping he changes his mind. I'd love more than 2.

    @ashnicell such a tough call to make. This is totally unsolicited advice, but as the parent who was dead set on not having any more children until a year ago - it might be worth holding off on anything permanent while you’re in the baby/toddler trenches. It took me awhile to warm up to the idea of another baby after 2 in 2 years (that ish is wild), but I’m so glad I did. My husband always wanted one more, but never asked out of respect to how I felt.

    I agree with this. I know so many people who said “no more” after any number of things - they had 2 or 3 children already, the woman had a difficult pregnancy or delivery, they were overwhelmed with multiple children close together, whatever - and then changed their mind 2, 3, 4, 5 years down the road. I know two couples who got permanent measures (vasectomy and tubal) reversed to have more children, and one couple who were sadly unable to have more children because it couldn’t be reversed.
