I just put the baby on her belly half swaddled because thats how shes comfortable and lets me pump and get some things done. Im sitting in the same room and totally watching her, but still. While that is flameworthy, the real FFFC is because of my RCS and engorged chest i still can't sleep on my belly and I'm totally jealous of her.
FFFC: I want to go back to work because I miss interacting with adults. But I don't know how I'll deal being away from G all day.
100% this. I really would love to work out a part time situation, but that is not really an option where I work. I could totally manage my job in 3 days per week though.
A mother's love is not blind. DD1 was such a beautiful baby. DD2...not so much. She looks just like my sister's baby pictures and we've always talked about how she wasn't the cutest baby. We love DD2 dearly but DH and I have had many conversations about how she's not nearly as pretty of a baby as DD1.
I told my kid to shut up more than once this week. I apologized to him afterward.
I lost my cool with DS1 this morning. We had swim lessons at 830 AM and he needed to get dress and kept running away from me. He dropped to the ground, like a 2 1/2 yr old does, and I grabbed him by the arm and pulled him up while yelling "I don't have time for this shit"... Not a proud moment. I felt bad and apologized to him (even though he forgets as quickly as it happens). This is my first day alone since DS2 was born and I was a little overwhelmed trying to get 2 kids out the door on time.

brassyclarinet I'm with you on the christening. We seriously considered having Amelia baptized in the hospital because 1) we can't take her to church and 2) we don't regularly attend church. MIL, who also doesn't attend church, was all "well, I don't think the family will be very happy with that." Oh, you mean the family that doesn't talk to YOU, let alone dh and I? The family who hadn't contacted us since she was born?
My mom was more upset because Amelia wouldn't have a big poofy gown or a big party afterward and that it would only be dh, me, Amelia, mil and fil, and my mom there. She likes the attention aspect. My mom hasn't gone to church since I was about 6.
We ended up not doing it because she got sick and it felt like last rites. I hope we can do it in the spring. Maybe outside in a park.

One of my cousin's babies was truly unfortunate looking, to the point where even my mom couldn't fake an "awwww" when shown a picture. But once out of the baby phase, that girl turned out to be gorgeous. I think we all hit our peak attractiveness at different ages. Maybe your DD2 will fare better in her tween years than DD1.

My toddlers get up between 6:30 and 7:00 every morning. My H turns on a movie for them before he leaves for work so I can sleep longer. So my kids have watched Toy Story every day this week.
I told my kid to shut up more than once this week. I apologized to him afterward.
Samesies. H and I have also made a joke of calling the girls "dumb babies" when they do dumb things like crying when they wake themselves up farting or spit their pacifiers our and start crying about it. Not nice. Needs to stop. But maybe not today?

Oh I'm sure she'll turn out just fine, my sister did I just remember with DD1 wondering if I thought she was so pretty just because I was biased. Now I know.

I totally get this. DD2 looks just like DS when he was a baby, so all I see is a boy in girl clothes. She doesn't look girly to me yet.

I totally loled at my cousins girlfriend who didn't realize you have to nurse from both breasts and totally stopped nursing on one side because it was uncomfortable....
I've definitely bonded more with this kid than I did with my daughter

I laughed hysterically at LO screaming his head off during tummy time last night. There was just no reason for the dramatics and his face was hilarious.
We mock her when she does a particular cry. She sounds like a velociraptor. Both DH and I find it funny. We did it out of habit at my parents house and my mom couldn't believe we were mocking her.
