Confessions???

Re: Confessions???

  • Mine isn't anything drastic but I've been at work all day and done NOTHING...I've done everything in my power to not do work! 

    My other is flameable (but please note that I would NEVER trick my husband into anything) I was so pissed when he said no to baby #2 right now after being the one to say yes that I was tempted to just stay on the meds and not tell him and continue to try...Yes I know I sound awful but again I would NEVER actually do it just something I thought of in the heat of the moment...

  • I haven't been in the mood to do any work at work since the whole blow up with DH on Thursday.

    I really have baby fever too and now is seriously NOT a good time to be having that.

  • The longer we go without a baby the more I think our life would be just fine without one.  Then I feel super guilty for feeling that way.

  • Alicia, I totally can see why you'd wanna do that. 

    Jaime, I don't think it's bad or selfish and I also totally hear you...

    My confession...I am SO happy to not be working right now but I totally logged on this morning to see what was up. I am sick.

  • I think this weekend is going to be my last breastfeeding and I'm so sad about it. (Well I have mixed emotions) I never thought I would continue past a year but it has been great.

    I'm afraid of how Brynn is going to do with it since she won't take any other milk. (But that is my reason for stopping cold turkey this weekend.) She needs to stop depending on me and start taking whole milk out of a sippy. I hope she surprises me and does really well with it but I'm scared! haha

  • If you had seen my Dad this weekend with the babies that were at the two halloween parties you'd understand.  It's all he's looked forward to since I've been an adult.

    I agree, it isn't selfish at all. Don't feel guilty.

    My confession, I haven't done much work today. I was so excited because I actually had work last week and it kept me busy. But today I just haven't had the motivation to do anything. I feel bad about it Sad I just really want to go home and crawl under the covers. I am so tired!

    Aww, that has to be tough...Its never easy when you have the pressure (stated or not) from family.  We keep getting asked when we are giving Josh a brother or a sister and I just keep laughing it off...

  • Andrew has never seen me cry.  I cried about the miscarriage a lot the first week and especially when we were going to and coming from the ER....he never saw.  I cried silently (and it was dark) or I turned my head.  I feel embarassed if people see me cry.  I think I try so hard to keep my tough girl attitude/image that I don't know how to show those emotions to people, not even my husband.  I noticed this when he made a comment the other day that during the miscarriage he'd never seen my eyes so wide and teary before...that's becaus ehe's never seen me shed a tear yet.

  • While I am happy for everyone here who are achieving their family goals and want everyone to get their BFPs that want them, I feel this board has become more about kids/babies as that's what is going on in a lot of people's lives. Sometimes I miss the daily chatter, but it's the natural progression I guess.

    I miss it too.  I don't have much to input when it comes to babies.  Mine is 10 and I can't really connect on the baby level quite yet with anyone until I have one myself.

    Lucy STILL won't drink WM, she just doesn't like it. The only times she drinks it is in her morning smoothie. So she only gets about 2 cups of milk a day so we make sure she has yogurt/cheese as well so she has good fat/dairy intake

  • Confession #2:  If I ever do get pregnant again I won't be announcing it for a long time.  I'll probably end up giving birth before anyone knows.  LOL

    I totally hear BOTH of you. I'm so scared that without work my entire life will just be the baby. I am worried I won't have anything else to talk about. I already feel that way, but I think right now it is like the BIGGEST thing in my life.

    It will be your whole life for awhile.  It's not a bad thing as long as you don't lose sight of yourself and are able to break free from mommy-hood every once in awhile to be refreshed.

    this is why I don't post on the board as much and tend to stick with my moms board because I know the majority of my life right now revolves around Maddy. I just don't have a lot of time otherwise with my work schedule and then during my non sleeping time off I tend to be doing activities that involve her.

    I just had my 1st weekend away from her since March this past weekend.

     

    My confession: I need to take more time away from Maddy and do more for me than I ever get a chance to. I am not concerned that DH isn't capable of taking care of her but with our work schedules if I want to spend time with him it has to be weekends so its an endless cycle of mommy burnout for me Sad

  • Erin that is a beautiful name. At least you aren't making something crazy up. One of my co-workers is pregnant with a girl and originally the name was going to be Mita Jances... I believe they have changed the name but I guess if they haven't more power to them they and the kid have to live with it not me.

    Keira is/was on my list of girls names.  I like it.  I think I found some other spellings for it as well.  We've agreed on a girl's name (if we have one) and it's a total boys name and we told my mom who in turn told one of my sisters and they made fun of it or just made it sound dumb.  I totally understand how you feel.

  • My mom texted me a picture of a rug she is crocheting. It is pink/purple/turquoise. COnvo went like this:

    me: where are you going to put it?

    mom: it will be an xmas gift for wilma or you.

    me: it would be cute in elena's room

    mom: or yours.

    Ugh. Sure, it's a cute rug. But for a little girl. It would not look good in my room(which is carpeted btw). The only non carpet areas are the living, dining and kitchen. None of which have pink or purple in them. WTH am I supposed to do with a girly rug?

  • We're talking about looking into revoking our dog. Everything is fine but I don't think we can give him the life he had and needs with two toddlers. And the kennel said he was a mess this weekend, I assume from is leaving him :(

     I feel the same way at times. mine are 16, 13, and 11.

    But I do honestly love to hear about everyones little ones stories

  • I'm late to the party, but here's my confession.

    I re-homed one of my cats on Sunday.

    She had become to stressed out from Brody chasing her around, and it was impossible to keep the two of them separated. She was hiding out more and more and it just wasn't like her. I knew she loved going outside, so she spent two days in my back yard (with the garage as shelter to get out of the elements. I  even made her a cozy bed in there).

    I advertised her on the Water Cooler (like Craig's List for Kellogg employees) and got a reply from a lady who was looking for a compainion cat. She works long hours and was worried about her 2 y/o cat being lonely. She has a fenced in yard, so Peeke would be an inside/outside cat. She's had her since Sunday and it sounds like everything is going great (fingers crossed). It makes me sad and I feel guilty, but I know that Peeka is better off in a home without kids where she can relax and be spoiled rotten.
