Oh I also confess that MIL basically told DH that we need to help them this Sunday with the move also (they've already claimed the whole weekend of Feb 4-5) and I'm really tempted not to go. In reality, they really won't need me much this weekend, but it's annoying.
We thought they were hiring a company to move them but I'm guessing it was too expensive so it turns out we're their free labor...

2012 Reading Challenge
We have a funeral to go to tomorrow (a friend's dad passes away) and I confess that I really don't want to go and I"m trying to come up with a reason that I need to stay home...I feel bad for not wanting to go but funerals are just not my thing...I'm way to emotional! I know the right thing to do is go but we barely see this friend (we see him during softball season - 6 weeks tops) so its not like we are best friends and do everything together so we wouldn't be missed.
Gah I just need to buck up and go (Rick wants to go and support our friends) but I'm not looking forward to it...
I forgot my phone this morning and I feel super disconnected without it. But in turn, that means my productivity at work will go up because I won't have email/facebook to distract me.
I've been really cranky for overnight feeds lately (and lacking empathy for the middle of the night pump) and am considering asking the pedi if she thinks they're old enough to start making them skip them (well the one between 2 and 4 am). I am torn though since they're so small and eat 4-5 oz then...
Semirelated, I will be so freaking upset if our trip to philly is cancelled. I am soooo looking forward to sleeping from midnight to 8 am. See, ive already planned to leave the party early to go sleep at the hotel. lol. i am so old.
A friend of mine (with a 5 month old) recently had to cut dairy out of her diet to see if it helps her daughter with nursing (they suspect an allergy). My confession is that if we ever confirmed a dairy allergy with A, I'd stop nursing and switch to formula. Dairy is such a HUGE part of my diet and I don't think I could realistically cut it out without suffering (mentally).
We are in NH so Tim can ski today and tomorrow (my ILs have a condo) and my ILs are coming up tonight. My confession is that I wish my MIL would go skiing tomorrow so that I could just veg with A all day (even though it's what I do every day) but I know she'll stay in to hang out with us (which, in theory, is totally fine). We just have a daily routine pretty much down and I don't want it to get screwed up!
I'm sooooo sick of talking about work all.the.time. If DH and I are alone together we have 2 topics of conversation anymore... Brynn and work.
I try to bring up other things but somehow it all ends up back to one of those 2 topics. I don't know how to change it.
Another confession... MIL is making me nuts and I haven't even seen her in about 2 weeks. The only reason I ever know she isn't planning on watching B is because I call her. (For 4 weeks now. "I'll be able to watch her 2 weeks after surgery, the DR said it wouldn't be a problem.") If she is changing plans shouldn't she be the one to call me? She is so selfish and if she doesn't like something forget it it can't happen, or if she wants it to happen she moans and complains until it does.
Confession #3 I'm so freaking stressed lately my gallbladder is out of whack again and I feel like garbage. Thank goodness for a good DR.
I've been super good about getting a shower every day since Ada was born but I've only shaved my legs three times. It's not because I don't have time, I am just lazy.
Ditto... I've shaved for my OB appointments. Ha! And I've showered every day with the exception of a few weekend days where I just didn't out of pure laziness.
I have another...
I have been an emotional eater the last couple of weeks, totally not eating because I am hungry but because I am sad/upset/stressed...
I have been so good this pregnancy not to over eat in general. But I feel like I have been a CRAZY person the last few weeks. I cry when it is just N and I or I want to cry most of the time. I don't remember it being this bad with N, but man, this time is not good.
totally not flammable.
we talked about this during a green poop phase (lovely, i know). it would such a huge diet overhaul for us (since we cook in batches are not making separate meals!), and as nice as the $ savings is (at $150 or 200/mo by my estimates and not having to smell like formula) , I think C would quit pumping if this was an issue.
I go through my FB album of A at least a couple times a week.
Every time I pump, I open up FB and look at pics of S... it helps with the letdown.
As some of you know, we are having issues with TTC#2, and I won't go on meds if it doesn't happen. I'm perfectly content if Ben ends up being an only child.
Sarah B gave me some leftover items from her IF treatments. One of them being Clomid so this cycle I am taking it-yes, unmonitored. I know I will luckily get one or two follicles so its not going to hurt me. I just didn't feel like wasting it...ya know??
I hate that all I talk about is IF treatments or the emotional roller coaster that goes with it. Can I get off please????

*HUGS* Amy! Fingers are crossed for you.
Well, you know my #1 gripe if you saw my latest group post. I finally got the meds and feel so much better.
My pregnant SIL is moving to Utah....I'm HAPPY!!!! Now it won't feel like a competition with her anymore. am not competing but she loves attention and really hurt me after I had my miscarriage. Granted, I am a little sad that I won't see their baby but still happy she's leaving!
