Re: FRIDAY CONFESSIONS
I've been wanting a pair of new Frye boots, but J would 1) notice the transaction and 2) notice the boots.

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to."
"I don't much care where –"
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go.”

We do have some separate "fun" money that I can do what I like with, but it was take a serious dip for $400 boots.
Sometimes I buy something from our joint account and tell him I have intentions to replace it with my fun money, then I don't. More often than not it's a book or something $20 or less. He calls me on it about 50% of the time.

I was born with a heart defect and by my mid 20's it was really getting to be a problem. I was out of breath all the time. One time I was dancing at a bar (I knew it wasn't a good idea, but I digress) and it took me two hours to catch my breath fully. J has an occasional irregular heart beat and he makes me take him to the hospital, the last time was just earlier this month. They always tell him, while it's uncomfortable, it's OK and all the tests come back normal. While my heart was fixed in 2008, I really have a tough time sympathizing. I had years of tests and catheters and couldn't lift things over my head or over 10 pounds for quite some time. There was a question for awhile whether my body was able to handle pregnancy.
What's worse is that he tells is like it's a war story. It's not like I want attention for it, especially now, but goodness man, give it a rest!

I'm sort of hoping that I might be able to buy a used breastpump from one of my friends, because I don't really want to drop hundreds of dollars on it knowing that this is our last kid. DH wants me to rent one (because he knows as well as I do that I probably won't use it longer than 6 months), but that cost will add up way too fast. I'm also sort of hoping that we can get one or the other of our parents to buy us the car seat as a baby gift. So maybe that's also some confession for me today.
Sugar & Spice
@elistar a week after my c section, J cut his finger bad on glass. My mom took him to the hospital for stitches. He was using my pain meds and comparing his pain to mine ( apparently his was worse). I told him if he ever seriously hurts himself or requires surgury he is on his own. Big giant baby.

MH and I actually had a legitimate conversation about moving here and now I can't get it off my mind.
How close are you to San Diego? Next time I am here we need to get together if it isn't too far!
