I woke up with a really sore throat today. Now I have a stuffy nose and headache. I don't care that I'm sick, but I really don't want a sick baby. We haven't had any sickness so far. I'm amazed we made it to 9 months without even a stuffy nose. I think that's all about to change. ?
Susan0utLoud You might be surprised. I have been sick like 3 times and DS has not gotten it. The last time I really wasn't even trying to prevent him from getting it and he still didn't! Juat wash your hands alot.
Yes!! I will think positively and wash wash wash my hands!
DD is finally cutting teeth (2 at once!) and oh my goodness, this is hell. I'd just gotten her to be okay with sleeping in her crib since the move, but now she won't sleep unless I bring her to bed with me. I have to keep an arsenal of children's Ibuprofen and nighttime Orajel on my nightstand to survive the night.
So DH informed me last night he is ready for baby #2 and wants to start trying now. Idk how I feel about this. Part of me is ready and really excited. But then part of me is thinking it's not a good time. I think I'll feel guilty that my sis is trying really hard to conceive and struggling. Also my husband's entire family is turning to shit. I feel like the only good thing going is me, DH, and DD. I also feel overwhelmed with DD and how I do basically everything.
Lots to think about.
I believe if it's meant to be it will be :-) I'm sure your sister will be happy for you when you do get pregnant again. My sister struggled with two miscarriages before she had my nephew so I was nervous to tell her when I did get pregnant. We were blessed to get pregnant on our first try and I didn't want her to be upset with me. She was so happy for me and I know it was hard for her but family is family. You'll do great!

I can sympathize with some of these feelings. DH is talking about having another baby, but I can't imagine caring for DS while pregnant, esp because so much of the responsibility falls on me. I said we'd wait until the fall, but in the fall I'll be finishing my dissertation, teaching 2 classes, and on the job market, which is a job in and of itself. Add being pregnant to that? And still having most of the child care responsibilities? It seems all too much.

I think this is a good start for a conversation. Talk to him about how you feel. It's ok to tell him you need more help/support before you can consider another one.

We're expecting another blizzard tomorrow. Hence, the governor has declared all of next week "Valentine's week," to make up for lost business on Vday, LoL
Sitting in a cafe in Columbia Missouri having a really bad cappuccino. I had an awful dream last night that DH was getting attention from other women and took off because I wasn't being intimate/affectionate enough.. I couldn't reach him and it was awful. Woke up from the dream to find out DH had a really brutal night with DS last night and then when he took a nap this morning he had a nightmare that we had 5 teenage kids and he said it was really horrible.
I can't wait to go home... Thinking about trying to go back tonight if I can.

Next time I go to pick my mother up from the airport, I'm leaving the house when the plane lands. I arrived instead just when the plane landed and went to the cell phone lot until 10 mins after it said it was at the gate. Then I went and circled 4 times and she's still not out there so now I'm back in the cell phone lot. This would all be easier if my mom just had a cell phone, but no.

I woke up at 1am vomiting. It's now almost 1015 and I've not stopped vomiting. I really, really, really hope DS doesn't get this on top of his upper respiratory and ear infections. Thankfully DH is stepping up and taking care of DS for me.

Stay another night away and see if HE feels like being intimate.

I hope I am not overstepping and do not mean to cause offense but it sounds like you are notready for #2. Any of the issues you mentioned alone would make me hesistant but adding them all together seems like too much going on right now. Especially if you feel like DH is mot helping enough with one baby adding another will just be that much worse. I think SpinsOffResonance is right, you need to have a talk with DH and tell him how you feel.
One baby and two married parents is better than two babies and a divorce, imo. His life is going to be taking care of DD1 while you take care of LO2. He won't be ready for that since he's not helping with #1. I see a lot of mess ahead in that scenario. My DH knows we're not close to ready for another one of we want to repair the marital damage caused by lack of sleep and intimacy of #1 before #2.
I made the chicken recipe that kittyriot posted a couple of weeks ago. It was delicious! DH didn't even try to put bbq sauce on it!
rainbowsockmonkey - thrilled it turned out well for you too! How long did you end up cooking it?!
About 35-40 minutes. I was worried when I took it our of the oven cause my meat thermometer said the meat 150 degrees and chicken should be cooked to 165. It was perfect cooked through though.

I think I am going to comment on the recipe and share that the timing seems off. We both cooked it much longer than what they suggested and needed it!
An old friend of my was all over me when she found out I was pregnant. She wanted to hang out all the time, help with the nursery, shop for baby clothes, all the things. Then she got engaged and dropped off the face of the earth. Now, all she posts on Facebook is how she hates kids and people who procreate, and today, she posted about how babies need to be spanked because they ruin Starbucks. WTAF?

When I was pregnant, I naively thought things with all of our friends wouldn't change just because we had a baby. For a lot of our friends, that is true, but for a certain percentage it changed everything. Everything! I realized early on that people are either on team baby or not. I don't have time for the nots. We've had to cut out a few friends and we're totally at peace with it. I'm with @bunannie - unfriend!

De friend!!
Uh yeah unfriend her I took my baby to Starbucks today & probably "ruined" it for some people. He was so happy to be out of the house he was really chatty! Haha
I definitely did. It's not like we were super good friends, anyhow. She dated DH's best friend for a long time and after they broke up, she and I stayed in touch. I was excited at first, because she's one of the few people I know out here, but since she got engaged she's been a total b. Ain't nobody got time for that.
My Ex-H called me today to come for a visit tomorrow. He said he hasn't seen my DD in a while (he is not her father). I told my friend this and she just cracked up laughing considering all that has gone down between us. It is strange, but I decided awhile back that it takes too much energy to hate someone, especially someone you used to be in love with.
