Tuesday Confession
I confess that I would rather stay in bed than meet my friends today. It's not that I don't want to see them, but staying in bed sounds more appealing right now.
I confess that I dread telling "a friend" about my pregnancy, b/c she never had anything nice to say. I can already hear her saying, "Well, it is about time! I didn't think it would happen!"
I confess that I have 20 things on my to-do-list, but have yet to do one thing on that list.
What's yours?
Re: Tuesday Confession
Oh, and more...
I confess that I had decaf coffee a few days ago, and felt really guilty, so I did not tell DH. I know it was decaf, but I stll felt guilty.
I confess that I have only played with the Wii Fit once after insisting to my DH that we really had to have it, and it will help me stay healthy during my pregnancy.
I confess that the teacher in the class next to me (who I am *really* good friends with) is getting on my nerves today.
Also, I ate two individual packs of Kraft Mac and Cheese for dinner last night. With about another cup of real cheese grated into it. SO unhealthy, but SO tasty!
Oh I like this.
I confess that since C arrived I don't hold/play w/the poops as much.
I never thought I would be that person.
I confess that I'm embarassed that people think we have money. We just bought a house (mortgage is now less than rent) and we had no choice but to buy a new car (my old one was dying a slow & dangerous death). It's a really nice car but all this makes us look like we have money but we don't. We have enough to live comfortably enough. The car was super cheap in cost for what it is...that's the only reason we got that one.
I feel like people think we're sho offs when we're not. I have only told 3 people about the car.
CRAFTY ME

CRAFTY ME
my read shelf:
((hugs)) I know you've been struggling with this Kristy, and I really hope he proves you wrong too. With you going back to work tomorrow, it will give him the chance to have some alone bonding time with Mary. Hopefully he will loosen up a little more around her.
I forgot how to do "hugs", but I also want to give you a hug.
It's a confession post. No judgement here.
When is the wedding?
I have a feeling a bride might not understand and get very butt hurt about it.
Thanks Brandy.
I hope going back to work will really give him (force him) the chance to spend time with her. He will get used to holding/feeding/changing her quickly. Maybe he is scared of her because she is still so tiny. Hopefully in a few months, when she is able to crawl and is more mobile, he will feel more comfortable around her.
If he is somebody who wasnt't used to having babies around when he grew up, this can be a difficult transition for him.
Wedding is in July. I know I won't back out..I'd feel bad. As it is, one BM has semi backed out (ignoring bride, not answering calls or e-mails). I'm a glutton for punishment! eh.
I can totally relate...DH had never even held a baby before we had Sarah. He was absolutely petrified of her and pretty much wanted nothing to do with her. I was a SAHM until Sarah was 5 months old so it just kept getting worse, he figured I was home to take care of her and his "job" was outside of the house and to provide for us. I really got to the point of resenting him for it...made me so mad! Once I went back to work, he really had to step up to the plate and he has! He changes diapers like a pro (even when she's crawling away!), he feeds her, bathes her (finally - that took a long time) and puts her to bed. He also sometimes takes her to daycare and picks her up for me. It's like a light switched "on" in his head. Don't get me wrong...it's still not perfect but it's SO MUCH better than before. Keep your chin up! You're not alone!!
This makes me feel better and even more hopeful. I really thought I was alone. Thank you for sharing.
I just can't confess the things I want to
.... that's my confession.
You know you can confide in me! : )
btw, you need to text/email me your number. I got my new phone today.
My confession is that certain family members are getting on my last nerve. Oh and I feel really wierd today - I think I saw someone dying yesterday, accident on the freeway and I saw then doing CPR on someone. So glad I was driving and couldnt see more. Not much of a confession, but I really feel wierd and morbid now.
Kristy - I really think you going back to work will help him bond with her more. A can be a butt sometimes too. xoxo
Kristy, I'm sorry you have to deal with that. I thought for a long time that my DH wouldn't be a good dad, but lately I've seen him interact with my brother's daughter and it REALLY makes me see how wrong I was. He has never liked holding babies. As a matter of fact, he refused to hold his sister's baby for at least 2 years. EVERYONE tried to trick him into it and it pi$$ed him off to no end. Now, everyone is on the edge of their seats waiting to see if he'll hold his own daughter!
I confess that it has been eating away at me for the past few days that a really good friend told me I am "crazy" for wanting to be induced a few days before my due date. My mom's birthday was May 16 and it would just mean so much to me for Rachel to have that special connection to the grandma she'll never know. I don't think that makes me crazy.
I confess that I should have graded a stack of papers over the weekend and still haven't done it.
I confess that my baby shower thank you notes are still not done either. I have had a bad case of the lazies this past week.
Irma-I really hope that your H doesn't end up like mine. It's frustrating. Esp with a new baby in the house.
I don't think wanting to be induced a couple days early makes you crazy. Esp for that reason. Just keep talking to Rachel and tell her when you want her to come. Mary sort of listened.
Bring on the waterworks. That is so very sweet Irma. I don't think that makes you crazy at all. When is your DD and how does your doc feel about induction?
My doc induced me (elective) at 38w4d on May 21 : )
I will be 38w 6d on May 16. I haven't talked to my dr about it yet. I'll probably bring it up closer to the date.
I threw away a huge stack of homework yesterday without even looking at it. Sometimes I just cannot deal with it and I don't even assign a lot of homework.
Sorry Kristy. ?:(
Let's see... what do I have? ?All the IF medicine I have been on since last summer has turned me into a gross fat ass. ?I seriously look 6 months pregnant and it's disgusting. ?My wardrobe is really limited because stuff doesn't fit or look good anymore and I wear a lot of the same outfits to work. ?I think I have a 7 outfit rotation. People are probably wondering WTF is up with me. ?
Oh, and I lied an told the Wi Fit that I am 5'11" and wear heavy clothes so that it keeps me in the "normal" range. ?I think if I told it I was really 5'10" and had light clothes on, it would put me in the "overweight" range.
Sigh.?

After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!
