NCR BOTB

I am in big trouble, guys. I wandered through a "Baby's First Halloween" event a couple days ago and when I saw all those little ones....

H and I were (no, dammit, ARE) planning to wait for a while for #2. He's graduating this spring and looking for a job, I'll be starting grad school this fall, we'll be moving out of state, etc. NOT TIME FOR BABIES.

Plus, I absolutely HATED being pregnant and we're not where we'd like to be to start looking at adoption financially, so how is a baby going to get here, huh?

Sigh. Good thing H is leaving the country on Tuesday and I'll have plenty of time to get this out of my system.

Re: NCR BOTB

  • I'll drop my kid off for a few days. No joke, she's all yours. The kid has been sick, not sleeping well (and she has spoiled me and been a wonderful sleeper her entire life), cranky, clingy (normally not a clingy child and I'm not a touchy-feely person), won't eat anything, won't let Daddy help her with anything (and he's normally very involved and hands on), and did I mention that she's been clingy? Oooooh, and the fits. The tantrums. Holy crap.

    Can you tell I've had a rough day? lol

  • Aw, that's too bad. Does pregnancy make you even less touchy-feely? It did me. Reason #381 why I don't want to get pregnant. I don't think your DD would be very effective BC, though. I've got a large dose of toddler at my house but I'm craving a fresh one. Talk to me in 24 weeks. lol.

  • I hate being pregnant too. That is why this one is our last. This pregnancy nearly killed me. I'm sure you will meet up with some kid that will clear this up quick!

    See, I'm the opposite, I love being pregnant! I had the perfect pregnancy with Lily, and this one hasn't been wonderful, but it hasn't been bad at all. Now that we're moved out to DH's hometown, I go get massages about once a week and I think that has really helped a lot (DH's aunt in a massage therapist and I get them for free). And pregnancy has normally done the opposite, I'm more cuddly now, except yesterday I was just at the end of my rope! Having one of those days I suppose. Today will be better! :)

    "craving a fresh one" totally cracked me up, by the way. :)

    OMG, I would have loved to have a massage every week! I have had horrible sciatic pain since week 14. I can barely walk these days. My kids like to torture me even before they are in the world!
