Re: confession session and good thoughts tuesday
good thoughts: to all my nestie friends and to my grandparents, who aren't doing too hot. <sigh>
confessions: i wasn't too dissapointed that the "blizzard" forced us to leave BIL's house on christmas night. i love them all (for real), but it totally sucked not being with my family for christmas and being away from home with a baby isn't very fun.
confession- my dh is at work this week while i feel like all the other dh's on the planet are at home with their fams and it makes me aggrivated.
confession- my kids want more from me than i can possible give right now and i feel stressed and guilty about it.
confession- i feel like crap. (took the little pill ladies) not only has it not touched the m/s but has also (i think) given me constipation (sorry tmi) and a headache.
confession- i would give all of my money to someone if they could come to my house and sleep train my children.
confession- my tree is down , decorations are away, and i am ready for it to be summer.
confession- i keep thinking about my planned disney trip and am SO worried about going like this. the whole idea was to take the girls before we thought about baby #3.
confession- i wish my sisters , who are so so so good with my kids, would come and pick up the girls and take them to do a fun kid friendly activity so that i could clean or sleep.
confession- i feel like the wicked witch of the west ...i am north so maybe i am the wicked witch of the north.
ok glad all of that is off my chest!. good thoughts to all who need them! thinking of all of you ladies and hoping everyone had a wonderful hoilday and has a very happy new year ahead!
good thoughts to everyone
confession: while it was a little bit weird/sad to not be with my family on christmas, it was also incredibly nice to celebrate christmas be just us. waking up in our home, eating/cooking at our pace, no crazy, loud relatives, and watching christmas movies all day was really lovely and A LOT less stressful!
confession: i'm a tiny bit miffed that i got sick just in time to miss dinner with friends of ours on sunday and will be better in time to go to dinner with my SILs on thursday. i'd have much preferred missing out on those people.
Confession: I lurk every couple of days but I can't remember the last time I posted. Since I'm on vacation this week I actually have time so I figured why not?
Good Thoughts: Through my lurking I have learned about new babies, new pregnancies, job losses, frustrating job searches, illnesses, etc. Good thoughts to everyone!
Confession: A few weeks ago my ILs asked DH and I for a Christmas wish list. This is going to sound so bratty, and promise me I am grateful for everything I received, but I did not get one thing on my wish list. Not only that but the gifts I received are not very "me." For example, my MIL gave me a yellow gold necklace and earring set and after I opened it she actually said "I know you don't wear yellow gold." Um, 1. why did you get it for me then? and 2. why did I even bother making a wish list?
Confession: Michelle, I'm going to apologize in advance for writing this confession, and I know you are currently in an unfortunate situation, but I can't hold it in. I don't understand why your older SIL should offer you spending money for your trip to MN. Big fat raise or not.
Good thoughts: To all of you that need them. Thinking of sacey's grandparents and Alicia's aunt. Job vibes to cheeks, Michele, and kmm's hubs. And everyone else who needs them!
Good thoughts: To my best friend and her family. Her dad went into hospice on Christmas night. It's been 6 months since he was diagnosed with liver cancer and it's the end. I am going tomorrow to say goodbye, I'm so broken up over this and I'm really scared to go and see him. (not to make it about me, but maybe send me some strength so I can be a strong good friend to her)
Confession: This is totally flameful. I am kind of upset about every gift my husband gives me now being about the baby. My birthday was a mother-and-child necklace. Christmas was a Pandora bracelet with a few baby charms and some Dankso shoes (totally random, but a friend recommended them as "good pregnancy shoes"). None of these items have been my style at all. Plus, I kind of feel like "What about Jill, not just someone's mom?"
That's awful and I'm embarassed but I wanted to get it off my chest. Whew.
It took 5 failed IUIs and a failed IVF, but our FET worked!
My pregnancy after Infertility Blog
Our baby girl was born on April 27, 2011!
confession: i don't think that confession is flame-worthy at all. i'm sure it's mostly rob being excited to that you guys are going to be parents after a long road of TTC but i would feel exactly the same way if all my birthday & christmas gifts were only relevant to the baby/motherhood. yes, you're about to be a mom but you're still jill, so wanting a few gifts that are just for you is perfectly ok!
aww! thanks for the job vibes for my DH! you're too sweet!
tons of good thoughts going out to you, to give you the strength for the visit for your best friend's dad. i'd be scared too. hugs to you - and to your BF and her dad.
And yeah, I don't blame you for being annoyed by the gifts... esp. if they're not your style. I get that he probably is excited that you have a little one on the way after your TTC issues; but yeah, don't blame you...
PS hope you're feeling great!!!
