Re: breastfeeding. The main reason I don't plan on weaning right now is because I know that I will gain weight/not be able to eat all the foods when I do.

I'm sure we're way past this now, but I was driving, so I'm adding my related anecdote/confession.

I quit breastfeeding 100% out of vanity. I could not lose any weight and was tired of feeling crappy about my body, so I switched to formula and never even felt a little bad about it.

I've been seriously considering this as well. I go back and forth daily on whether it's worth the formula money for me to have the opportunity to lose some weight and get to a healthier # on the scale - it won't budge without tanking my supply as of right now.

I'm worried about you.

[RajahMD]

FFWC: we always use a towel under me when doing oral sex or using a vibrator. I have a tendency of completely letting go and relaxing during orgasm, which can lead to urination during orgasm, even if I went to the bathroom right before sex.

I shared this one on my BMB a few weeks ago and someone said I should share it here, so here goes:

I would have no problem with my good friends or sisters breastfeeding my babies. I also would have no problem with breastfeeding other people's babies.

My sister keeps telling me she wants me to watch her baby when she goes back to work and my only condition is that I be allowed to nurse for comfort if needed. Her baby will get her milk or formula for nutrition, but if the baby is inconsolable, I'm too busy to spend time trying to rock or whatever to calm him down when I could pop a boob in his mouth and have him calm in five minutes. It's a breast and that's what they are for. I'd rather my baby be happy at someone else's breast than screaming inconsolably for an hour while they try everything else to calm them down.

There's these things called pacifiers....

And if your baby takes them there is no need to nurse for comfort....

For me, the weight loss happened later. I was a sloppy pile of leaking boob for a while.

There is usually kicks and giggles in regards to denying your spouse sex. I mean, I don't want anyone to do anything they don't want to but I cannot for the life of me can imagine being turned down over and over again and how that would make me feel.

Sometimes you feel like fucking and you want to do that with your partner. You want to feel like they still want you and they still enjoy having sex with you etc. I don't see anything wrong with that. I think consideration is needed on both sides in this regard.

TL; dr - constantly being turned down for sex must hurt and I don't think is something to laugh at. Consideration should be used by both sides of this.

On MIL and sex...

My MIL was visiting a couple years ago and mentioned that she needed a new vibrator. (She lives in a remote area and doesn't understand the Internet.) So MH and I took her to Babeland where she asked our advice on vibrators. We helped her pick one out.

My FFWC: I didn't even realize this was note-worthy until today. I had forgotten that it happened.

[Cherhorowitz]

I breastfed the first until he was 23 months. In retrospect, that was much too long for me. I put a one year max on the next one. I want my body to belong to me again. I want to be able to go places without worrying about my boobs. I want to drink too much wine. I don't want my body to cling to extra weight. I want to Botox. Ok, it's probably 60% about Botox.

No talk about my husbands dick. On my end it is more like if something funny happened. Or we have talked about places we have had sex.

More often we talk about her sex life. She and Fil are divorced.

I guess for my first post in parenting I found a truly UO. I may back slowly into my birth board.

No no. Everyone gets major grief at some point and then it's forgotten. Stick around.

MH and I never close the bathroom door, even when one of us is pooping. We just don't care.

DNW to help MIL pick out a sex/self-pleasure toy. So much DNW.

Would you like another butt story?

I'm sort of happy that ttc didn't work last month for two very different reasons. 

1. This means I can drink to my heart's desire during The Wedding in the Woods next weekend.
2.I'm not sure I could get past wondering if I conceived a child during my first butt plug experience.

The Wedding in the Woods is next weekend already ?  Is it weird that I am so excited about this?

Things we can look forward to:
Night before wedding music circle
Almost everyone attending the wedding reciting a quote or their thoughts on love during the ceremony
4-5 hours of traveling between venues
And so much more!

I'm seriously about to fucking hork over vibrator shopping with MIL. WTAF.

I find this a rather odd condition for you to babysit.

I would not have you babysit.

I concede maybe I would feel differently if you were my sister but I don't think so.

My kid my rules.

I rather you not put your boob in my kid's mouth cause you are lazy.

I really can't even put together a sentence right now cause I am speechless at your condition.

I definitely use my boobs as a pacifier. It's one of my favorite things about BFing. And it gets me out of all kinds of stuff. Oh, the ILs are here? The baby is crying, better go nurse her. Alone. In my room. Where I can read on my phone.

This is how I escape my in laws. Nothing clears a room faster than me saying he needs to nurse. One time they stopped over with a present and just chucked it through the door and left because they were scared they'd come in to find me breastfeeding.

I cannot wait for you to live blog that wedding. Tell me you'll get cell service there.

The campground claims to have wifi, so hopefully I'll at least be able to update before and after.

I could/would have BF a lot longer if I could have *only* done it when I was with him. Having to pump and worry every time I left
him was brutal. I can't handle that kind of pressure.

I did this several times last weekend. I also stashed a wine juicebox in my room in case shit got real.

This is like kindergarten level shit. Although, I'll give the tortoise/turtle thing.

We send DS to these one-shot animal classes at the local zoo and apparently TNMTs are actually tortoises. That really was interesting to me.

This thread is moving faster than I can keep up with. Every time I read a page and move on, another page has been added. Good thing my kid is in daycare right now while I'm "working" from home.

I will have to go back and read later. I am just reading the page I land on.

I would get divorced if H ever pooped with the bathroom door open. He wouldn't know what happened because I'd just go and never come back.

I feel we have learned that it is important from the beginning to teach your children how to properly wipe their ass and other parts (females). Let's not cut corners in this area ladies. Life skill here.

Do you want me to watch your kid while you work and nurse him? I'll do it. My only condition is I must nurse him.

I don't like refrigerated cake because it seems to change the texture.

Alright here goes! Long time lurker first time confessing.

I still have my placenta hanging out in my freezer. I never wanted to encapsulate but my midwife brought it home with us just in case. My son is 14 months old and I'm pregnant with our second. I guess you can say I'm a little attached to it at this point. Hah, get it?!

I'm pages behind here, but the idea of saving any organs/body parts in my freezer weirds me out. Are you planning on gifting the placenta to your kid for high school graduation or what?

THIS.

There is just so much wrong happening in the above. And the least of which is you not minding whether other people breastfeed your babies. I can't get up for that and dontcurr because you do you. Fast forward to you saying it's a CONDITION of you watching your sister's kid because you are too BUSY to calm down the baby. Just fucking say no to watching her kid because you can't manage all of them. Seriously.
