Friday confessions
I have a few but im on my phone so they are going to be jumbled together. 1. I laugh at everyone that told me to be ready to change my lifestyle with Lucas. Hes awesome and doesnt take work at all. 2. Im planning his first birthday party. 3. I hope Erick's baby gives them a run for their money...they're too young to have children.

Re: Friday confessions
I think you've ruined my husband's perception of babies. Ever since we were in Texas, he's been telling people he wants a Lucas.
One of M's coworkers has been talking about breaking up with her boyfriend for the last few months. M ended up talking with the boyfriend at a happy hour earlier this week when coworker went to the bathroom and he mentioned he was ring shopping. M won't tell coworker because he says it's not his business. I sort of want to FB stalk this girl and send her a message to let her know because, god lord, that breakup will be 10x worse if he proposes before she does it. I wouldn't really, but it's tempting.
The doctor gave me a prescription for anti-anxiety meds this morning. I sort of feel like a failure that I can't handle life on my own but I'm so looking forward to being able to relax a little.

Dont feel like a failure! I am on a prescription too because I couldn't sleep at night (which they chalked up to the tsunami ordeal, though I think that was what made it worse, not started it)
You totally should not feel like a failure. I was on an anti-anxiety years ago during a really trying time and they definitely helped. There's no shame in getting help when you need it. *Hugs*
I think a lot of this has to do with your parenting style and your personality. For example, my sister is WAY more uptight than I am. She didn't leave the house with her kids for the first couple of months. Every little noise she was hoovering over them. Because of this she stressed a lot more than I did and it changed her life a lot more than Parker changed mine. Parker and I went to Rusty's kickball game 6 days after he was born so he could meet everyone.
I come from the mindset that children should fit into your life/schedule. We didn't really change much of our social life when he was born. It is different now because he goes to bed at 7:30, but he still goes pretty much everywhere with us.
I'm not saying that one style is better than any other, they are just different. You have to do what works best for your family. I feel that the child senses this and adapts. Then again, it can just be the kid. Parker was/is super easy too.
I feel bad being jealous of T that he gets to go run when he feels like it. As much as sometimes I cursed running, I really loved the feeling and "being free." I'm sad my doctor nixed my old running routine and I feel like a slob lately.
I'm trying to keep my weight gain under control, but I feel like it's higher than it should be at this point, and the charts say I'm over the max gain for how far along I am. I'm trying to eat healthy, but it's not always natural or super easy, and I so don't feel like exercising most days.
I spent way too much money this week shopping. Baby now has a PBK bedding set and mobile (cheaper than it would have been in store thanks to eBay), I have spring/summer maternity clothes, MIL has a nice bday present, and I'm dying to go buy a recliner/rocker for the nursery and order the crib I want.
People gain weight at different times in their pregnancy. Some gain in the 1st trimester, some gain in the 2nd, and some in the 3rd. I gained 11 pounds in one month.
Picture of the bedding and mobile, please!
Wyatt's second birthday invitations have already been designed and are waiting on my computer until I'm ready to print them off lol. I've also already made most of his decorations. I figured I would want it done before this baby comes so I don't have as much work to do lol
My confession: I told Lance we could take turns getting up with Wyatt in the morning on his off shift, and I haven't gotten up with him yet, and I really don't intend on doing it many times... and I don't feel the least bit guilty.
Well you can be like me and ::gasp:: leave them in the crib along with allowing your child to sleep on their stomach.
I've recently seen some people using them as railing covers so the baby doesnt leave bite marks or as valences.
They are just so cute, and since they came with the set anyway, I figured I'd use them at least while we get the crib ready. We always had bumpers in our cribs and we were all fine. Plus I thought they say you can leave them in until baby starts rolling around. I'll have to research more. If I do try to convert them to something else I'm definitely going to need someone with sewing experience to help me. But I'm guessing I'll be lazy and just leave them as is and use them for their intended purpose at different times. I'm debating a breathable bumper once baby can move around, but I'm not sure yet.
The more shiit is coming out-the less I'm looking forward to football season again. Right now I have no Colts jerseys of players who are currently playing. Peyton's gone. Freeney's gone. And Ryan effing Diem is still on the roster.
Irsay better pray like hell he doesn't run into me anytime soon.
We ordered a new fridge today because ours is crapping out on us. On top of the furnace debacle. This has been a very pricey week. Yet I'm not feeling the least bit bad about going to Boston soon!
The bunnies are so cute! I imagine you'd be okay to leave the bumpers in till baby can roll over, but I'm not sure about that as I don't have a baby.
That's too bad you had to cut out your running. Why did the doctor say you couldn't keep it up? That would make me really antsy, especially if my husband could still get out and run as much as he wanted.
Score! And it is the same set-I got a killer eBay deal too!
I'm not a bumper user for when they are little, but it went in when A was about 9 months and he was getting his legs and arms stuck and screaming hysterically. We took it off at about 19 months when he started climbing. They can be useful when the kids get older for some people.
I'm pretty sure it's Saturday in a lot of the country, but here's mine:
-I have a nanny two days a week and I'm a SAHM.
-I occasionally pretend I'm asleep when B gets up to eat. I currently justify this by the fact that S will get 9 baby free nights out of the next 14 days.
