It's Friday - Fess Up!

[athn64]

A change of subject.

When 1D Stpry of my life first came out, or when I first heard it, I thought it was from Frozen since it was around the same time as the movie release. In fact I thought it was the song everyone was going crazy about from the movie. I had obviously not yet seen the movie

I would allow a swoop in for delivery of baked goods.

I don't even want to look at the baby.  I just want to tell you that it's ok to not be thrilled and to be terrified.  And to make you hug me.

Like I actually want to flame you, RoN, for being so ridiculous as to suggest that any FTM should have figured out things like newborn noises and getting a little antsy about who holds the baby and when.

I would think it's weird if the parent of a less-than-24-hours-old-first-child had some breezy "omg please take this crying heap ASAP" mentality.

Ohhhhh we don't shit talk things we find silly or ridiculous here? Sorry, didn't know that had changed.

I also wasn't talking about readyornot when I posted. FTR, I don't think you did anything wrong. I can see the humor in a whimper being "fussy."

I did not feel you swooped in or anything and since you were invited you are all good in my book.

Huh. I've visited people in the hospital, always to drop off snacks or gifts. I don't do it for everyone, just the extroverts or the FTMs without family in town.

I swoop in, drop off gifts of breastpads and cupcakes and a white noise machine, and swoop out.

I say this again, you're the cutest. 

[McBenny]

I would need to know where the food came from. Shit don't change cause I am in the hospital.

If you aren't bringing a daiquiri, don't come.

I don't go to the hospital to see anyone unless explicitly asked and even then I will verify again.

I have read only this page but this is exactly where I'm at.

I try to give people like 24hrs before visiting in the hospital.

I was in labor for 22 hrs and our family has zero chill. Every single one of them were pacing the waiting room waiting for DD to be born. Within the hour the entire hoard flooded the delivery room. We weren't even in recovery before they started filing in. My cousin was holding MIL's spot in the delivery room when I was laboring while MIL went home to shower and cousin's MIL (MH's aunt) was literally texting/calling/begging her to come out so she could come in. Like, they're on a 15 out of 10.

I finally got to hold DD after everyone else left and it was just MH and me. I had the shakes something horrible so I wasn't too upset.

Ew. This was why it was made very , very clear that it would be me and DH only in delivery.

MIL kept trying to hold DS in the NICU (even prior to when we got to). Thankfully the nurses shut that shit down.

Ok, but RON was invited. This wasn't a case of her having hacked any computer and found the location and busted in.

I watch too much TV I know, but it fucking applies here.

RON was invited.
She did not say anything to anyone.
She did not hold baby until the mother passed the kid to her.

[zombiewasabi]

I would be down for some food swoopage

Your entitlement is what's ridiculous.

No one ever has to let you hold their child. Period.

I don't really bakery so nothing changes here.

I got my first IUD last Friday and I feel like I'm PMSing the most I've ever PMS'd in my life. And I'm all in my feels over the SLP report we got back for DS - H and I are fighting about what to do next and I worry we'll somehow be "too late" and miss some magic window to help Bud. I ate half a coffee cake this morning and I'm about to go hunt down and kill a chocolate bar.

The year DS was born, McD's came out with fishy mcbites. I made those a condition of visiting me - bring me fishy mcbites and you can come say hi to me.

Hork

[rocksforludo]

Aside from our parents and my aunt we only had our bestest married friend couple come visit us when DD was born.

And they brought cold beer so I feel like they were the right choice.

DD2 was born the day before Valentine's Day, so DH and I didn't get to celebrate. But he did bring me one of those frozen daiquiri pouches. Best.

[McBenny]

readyornot - I don't see any ridiculous behavior on your part.

Jesus people go chase some shopping cart non returners or something.

Stupid question: how long are you in the hospital after you give birth typically? I am aware this is not a confession, but I really want to know.

For some reason it's typical around here to be out a few hours after the baby is born so long as everyone is healthy and you have a midwife (common here). I was on the fast end with my kids and we were discharged about two hours after each was born. I think four hours is more normal.

I can't stop buying these cheap, tacky-but-really-cute holiday sweaters off of amazon. When, if ever, is it appropriate to wear Christmas attire, aside from Christmas Day/Eve?

Also, I use to love both Chipotle and Target. I dislike going to either stores now.

Grandma?

I know 😞

NO.

[mischief]

Last night when I went to the ER they wanted me to put on a gown. Well I wasnt wearing underwear and I didnt want my ass hanging out, so I pulled my soft capris up Urkel style and then rolled the legs up like underwear. My sister was dying of laughter and helping me roll them up. Voila


My other confession is that if she would have been wearing underwear I might have worn them.

I wore underwear today.

[Deleted]

I think I ate 17 million of these. I'm shocked they didn't come back for a second year because I ate so many of them, artificially propping up demand.

[wildflower810]

I dropped off dinner for a friend who just had a kid and had a long internal debate about if it was too early to ask to hold the baby. Baby was 2 weeks old.

When I had family come and visit me when DS was 3 days old, he managed to choose the time when great grandma was holding him to gag, choke, and stop breathing. I couldn't move, so I was shouting directions at her while really hoping H showed up to save him. That made me think again about passing him around.

So yeah, hanging on to the baby is perfectly fine.

NO.

+1.

I would have to look, but I believe our hospital discouraged anyone other than parents to hold the newborn while in the hospital (for all babies, not just NICU ones). Beyond germs, it's a liability if something would happen to the baby.

I know you could not walk with the baby outside of the room. It had to be in the rolling bassinet.

You stop it right now.

oh god mischief, I gave you a LT for the homemade underwear but took it back once you said you'd take someone's used undies and wear them.
