FFFC anyone?
So this morning DH told me that his step father was taken by ambulance to the hospital. Basically his mom was getting ready for work when she heard a "thud". She went to see what was going on and I guess he had "fallen of the toilet". Well she looked in both the trash can and toilet and there was blood...it was coming out of both ends.
Obviously this is awful and there must be something wrong. My FFC part is I don't feel bad. Yes I feel awful something is wrong and he is in the hospital, but this guy does not take care of himself at all. He drinks (a lot), smokes (a lot...and not just ciggarettes...) He has excess heart problems, a defibulator, he is overweight and on disability. His health problems are nothing new. They have been going on longer then I have known him, yet he does nothing about it. Nothing. How can you feel bad/help someone, who doesn't even help themselves?
Re: FFFC anyone?
I know how you feel. When XFIL was in his accident when he killed XBIL/XSIL's dog, I didn't feel bad for him. At all. He put himself into that situation -- he was lucky to be alive!
big fat ditto. I have absolutely zero desire - physically or mentally. I feel horrible for DH, but I have a hard enough time finding a comfortable position to sleep in at this point. The few times I've sucked it up and did it, I didn't even enjoy it (couldn't get into it at all - literally. my body had zero reaction to it)

I sometimes skim the Aug2011 Mom's board for curiosity/milestones. I had to stop. Posts like "I'm so tired, LO only sleeps 4 hrs at a time" are making me murderous, as it sounds beyond luxiorous to only get up once a night.Hell, twice if they're in bed at 8 and up and 12 and 4 to eat.
Same for the person who couldn't decide if it was safe to let the baby sleep in another room while they watched a movie together on the couch. wtf people? being a new mom is not a reason to be dumb.
i am also pms-ing and realize i am being unfair. But going to bed at 830 or 9 to get 4-5ish hours of sleep (split over 2-3 intervals), maybe, is very, very very old.
the sidebar to this is i am counting the days until my MIL comes to stay with us b/c she said she'd take the 4am through morning time. i will happily get up at 530 and feed someone if it means i can sleep through the 4 am hour.
WTF? I have no intention of having a baby in my room at any point (yes, that may change, but really?).

we did it due to our living arrangement, but i would probably do it with a singleton too for the first few weeks regardless of room availability. when they're up every couple of hours it is just way easier. when we move they're moving too though.
Oh, I totally get doing it for a short period of time over night. Especially the first month or so. But, really, not wanting to have them in another room at all, while you are awake? That's silly.

DH and I made the decision that this baby will be an only child. We're getting a lot of pressure from both sets of parents to start trying right away again - and even offers to pay for treatments etc. I feel selfish for wanting to go back on BCP's to get my hormones in line and lose weight again. And for not wanting to put my body through all of the treatments again. And for not wanting to go through the emotional roller coaster again.
AND, DH really wants to share firebaby's name. I kind of want to too, but I worry about the opinions and people's reactions. It really is a beautiful name, but it's not common.

I think this is everyone's fear inititally. A friend of mine just named her daughter Arisa... definitely NMS, but if that's the name they'e chosen, that's it. Think it also helped that the name had already been painted on the wall by the time they shared. If you love the name- own it... love it! People will eventually get out of their own way and be fine.
Sarah you guys went through a lot to get this baby and only you know the true impact it had on you, your marriage and your life. This baby truly is a miracle!
As for the name, only share if you are comfortable! I am sure it is beautiful. And all that matters is you and Aron love it and want it for YOUR baby.
I'm with ya, we are still consistent but breathing near my face makes me feel gross
