The "Newest" Moms Hangout...

[staley7580]

I can see that being a problem. DH was ecstatic Lucas was a boy for pretty much the same reasons... he'd have no idea how to handle a girl.
Since we haven't had one single issue since I told him I wanted a divorce, I think he's making an effort. I don't expect things to be perfect right away but this is the longest we've gone in awhile and it feels wonderful. Makes me very, very optimistic that he's willing to work on it. Which is all I wanted...

I want another baby sometime and I hope it's a boy. I don't know that I can do the girly stuff.

I wanted a girl when i got pregnant with the first time.. But got a boy. Which I was ecstatic about. I think boys really are easier... at least, right now! Then I REALLY wanted a girl. REALLY BAD! I CRIED at my ultrasound when she said it was a girl. I was so happy! She is SUCH a princess.. Full on daddys girl. She is built like a linebacker, but everyone just dotes on her... Like a delicate little flower that just might break at any second. its too funny when her "big" brother tries to hold her in his lap and comfort her.. She has about 10 pounds on the kids, and wears a bigger shoe!

With the twins I wanted boys.. I was so afraid that Kaylee would be UBER jealous of loosing the whole baby girl thing. SHE is the princess. But I just BAWLED when we found out it was a boy and a girl!! It was exciting.

My husband does a really good job with making his girls feel special. I think he has a harder time relating to boys. He isnt into sports or anything.. So he just plays video games with Alex. When i was pregnant he started taking him shooting.. That was REALLY fun for them.

Hey, some of this baby stuff is so confusing I gave up.

My dad totally had to assemble our changing table... neither Tom or I could figure it out. We had an "engineers corner" in this house and when mom and dad came to help "paint" rolleyes1) I'd send dad over there to assemble things.

Much too complicated for us simple folk!

I hope Vinny feels better soon.

baby stuff IS crazy! I remember doing my nursery for my first.. I did most of it alone. THAT was fun. I spent my 21st birthday putting my crib together. ALONE. Alex's dad was supposed to come help... but didnt. SURPRISE SURPRISE SURPRISE. Anyways.. It was the dresser that got me! My girlfriend and I spent HOURS trying to get the dang thing together!! It was awful!

Thanks! I think he is on the mend.. Way less snotty then before.


on a SUPER funny note.. I have really long hair, like down to my tushy long.. I took a shower this afternoon and let my hair dry and it got super poofy.. Like always. I took it down and was shaking it out and Jasmine was looking at me all crazy! I went over to her and kinda shook it around her and she got scared!! She wouldnt come near me until I put my hair up in a pony tail!! She is scared of my hair! It was too funny. I have crazy hair, but never scared anyone with it!!

I wanetd a girl until I found out Lucas was a boy.

Then absolutely everything shifted! I was so excited to have a SON! I think it'd be that way if I had a girl next, too. I'd be like ... A DAUGHTER?! YAAAY!
I feel so weird thinking about another baby though. It's so probably not a good time because DH has so much to work through but this is what we wanted. Kids close together. So my mind is on it constantly. That and I can't take birth control. We tried and it's just not worth it.

I think boy/girl twins are so enat!!

EXACTLY!! It just changes!! I have honestly never met anyone who wasnt thrilled with whatever sex they got, you know?? A baby is a baby!! They are all gorgeous!

I am going to give my totally honest opinion... feel free to totally disregard.

It might be better to wait a bit... Until you are sure that he is getting what he needs, and working through his stuff. That way you know that you guys are bringing your new baby into a healthy relationship. ALL Im gonna say!

My mind is on having another baby all the time too.. Im crazy.. I know it. We have four kids for crying out loud. But I think.. Whats one more if we already have four?? But in my case.. it would probably be two or three more. (but we do have an 8 passenger minivan.. enough for an extra set of twinnies!!)

 

[staley7580]

Oh.. and I havent used BC in a long time. YEARS. I used the ring for a few months.. But that was when Alex was like a year old. Havent used it since then.

 

[Piecey]

Oh, I know it's bad.
It's bad even because I'm supposed to wait a year for the c-section.

I think I'd be a fool if I really thought it was going to stay this way. But it's so nice to imagine! I know we'll have more ups and downs before things level out.

My parents suggested we ask the phsychiatrist. It was important to us to have our kids close togheter... something we discussed and decided on before all this started. But it's a definite stress that he doesn't need to complicate things right now. He grew up poor and thinks we're poor. We're not. But it flips him out because he flashes back to being on welfare and eating what his dad shot. He doesn't want to live that way (can't blame him...) but I also don't know what the best option is. If they're not within 2 years of each other, I'm not having another. Might seem crazy but it's what we agreed on and it's how I feel.
I'd be so sad to only have Lucas, though. So to a certain extent I need to work that out in my own head, I guess. If we didn't have a #2 I'd probably resent him for it and thats a whole new set of issues.

 

[Piecey]

Oh.. and I havent used BC in a long time. YEARS. I used the ring for a few months.. But that was when Alex was like a year old. Havent used it since then.

I so thought about trying the ring! I told my OB my issues and she didn't suggest it though, so I just figured she didn't think it was practical.

We're definitely not good with the non-medication type of birth control either. Probably because we've never had to mess with it.

So while the realistic part of my brain thinks that it could end very badly, the other part of me says if its meant to be, it'll happen and we'll get through it.

Aren't I a giant train wreck!

And I could sooo see myself in a minivan.

I get that.. We women can be so irrational in our babyhaving ways.. huh? I always SWORE I would be done having kids by the time I was 30. No matter WHAT. If we didnt have our third by the time I turned 30, I wasnt trying anymore. We started trying when I was... ummm.... 26? Yeah.. I am pretty sure that is right. I finally got pregnant right before I turned 27.. and I lost that baby. So I thought we were done. It took almost a year for us to get pregnant with that one. But then when I got pregnant with the twins just three short months later... I was so surprised! I am 28 now... rapidly approaching 29 in about a month, and I feel the countdown looming. Somewhere in my brain its saying.. if you dont have another baby now.. You NEVER will! How dumb is that?? There is nothing WRONG with having a baby in your thirties.. I just didnt want that age gap. It blows my mind to think that when the twins are starting kindergarten.. Alex will be in middle school.

But I know that I could look back in 3 or 4 years and want another baby. it blows my mind how dumb my thinking is.

I so thought about trying the ring! I told my OB my issues and she didn't suggest it though, so I just figured she didn't think it was practical.

Oh gosh.. I get that too! Financially.. we couldnt handle another baby. We are okay right now.. but I think that another baby would ruin us! But then I think.. We have made it through harder stuff then being broke! We have a super strong marraige and can make it through almost anything.. Im sure of it!

Its only money holding us back from having a million kiddos!

 

[Piecey]

I know myself well enough to know that my biggest issue is going to be that I am limited on what I can do with babies....

Before I met my husband I traveled all the time! As soon as I got a job I saved money and went places. I went to Europe, on a Disney Cruise, WDW with my best friend, California with another friend, Vegas, NYC, Orlando countless time to visit my brother...
I saved my sick leave and my boss would let me extend holiday weekends with it. I loved it. I went so many places!

Then I met Tom, fell in love, got married, yada yada. He hates to travel. He CANNOT do crowds, which I now know after our Disney fiasco. I think that was the biggest issue. If he can't watch everyone, if he doesn't feel safe.. he panics and gets defensive and then he gets MEAN.
I am practically in withdrawal from being home so much.

He finally told me no on my trip because he can't handle Lucas that long by himself. I can see his frustration build when he can't get Lucas to stop crying, so I've stopped pushing for the trip. Until he learns a better outlet for his anger/frustration I wouldn't feel that it was fair to anyone- Tom, Lucas, or myself- for me to take a trip and put them through that knowingly. So I'm not going. It really bugs me but I know that here in a few years I can just take Lucas with me.

So that is one of the biggest reasons that I will only have kids that are essentially in the same age category. If I don't get past the baby stage... to a point that I can either take them with me fairly easily or leave them home and DH can deal, I'm going to start resenting him for being stuck here and forcing me to give up such an important aspect of my life.
So.. they've gotta be close together.
I was definitely NOT cut out to be a SAHM.. but it's the only thing that makes sense for us right now.

As for money... I loathe money. Seriously hate it. I am fantastic with it... I've realized this through watching my friends, working in banking, etc... I can float it in amazing ways. I know that a lot of it is from stuff I learned in the bank, but I can make the most of what we have and then some. But I can't get Tom to see that we're not poor. It baffles me.
I grew up with money. So I do not understand this terror he has at going bankrupt. He told me my desire to go on a trip was unrealistic because we don't own our home. Uh, hello? We're in our 20's. We're not SUPPOSED to own our home, you lunatic!
We owe on student loans, the house, my Jeep and his braces. We have an emergency account that will cover us for approx. 18months... most likely a lot longer than that. We put over $1k in savings every month (his GI Bill, which will sadly be gone soon). Yet we're poor.
I do not get his logic. I truly don't. He tells me that if I were telling the truth about our financial situation, I wouldn't coupon. Makes no sense to me. I coupon because it's something I can do to contribute to the household.. and because it's a bit exciting too. But apparently coupons = poorhouse in my DH's mind..
I think we're doing pretty good for being in our 20s.

 

[yellowfish78]

How was work? I know my 1st day I was a crying mess. I got to daycare that afternoon,and she was all smiles! I told dh that at least one of us had on our big girl panties that day!

I cried on the way to work and then once again at work. Work's been slow, so it's not like I had a bunch of stuff to catch up on given I've been checking my email from home. Coming home was tougher though - cooking dinner, feeding Alex, getting ready for bed - and then realizing that I only have 3 hours in the evening with Alex made me cry again.

He was up two times last night...I'm assuming because of change in routine and being bottle fed all day, but I don't know. He's still out now but stirring in his crib, I think I'm gonna go get him in 10 minutes and enjoy my morning hour before work with him. Who cares if I wake him up.

 

[DMickey28]

Patsy - Have you thought about taking Lucas to WDW yourself? Granted I could drive with Alex, but I took him A LOT in the first two years. It was nice to be up there, relaxing with him. It was super easy once you got past check in and getting the bags to the room with a stroller but if you aren't as cheap as I am an use the luggage guys it's better!! I have also flown A TON with Alex as a baby and it wasn't that bad. You get through it, especially when they are still in the baby carrier, it's sooo much eaiser!!

Our two kids are going to be 2 years 11 months apart and I think that's perfect for me. I can not imagine having a newborn where DS is right now. The terrible two's are just too challenging for me! I think that by the time he is 3 and listens a touch bit better it will be fairly simple to add the newborn. He can walk in the store, leaving the cart for the baby or I can wear the baby. He is old enough to want to help Mommy so that will come in handy. I think it will be a good transition. I am also thinking about a third .... ideally it would be in 3 years after the second BUT I also we only have three bedrooms right now. The plan is to build a Master Suite over our family room in 5-7 years (whenever we can afford it really) and then that would give us three bedrooms for the kids. Who knows .... I am not doing hormonal BC either so we will see what happens.

Patsy (Again) - I am glad things are going better with DH right now, that's very promising.

Hey Patsy!

K-cups are $9.99 at Kohls. Use 15% off everything online coupon and 5% (or more BF) cash back at Bing. Should come to just over $8!


Looks like a really good deal on the KitchenAid stand mixers. The more expensive Artisan is on sale for $299.99 - 15% (on stand mixers) - 15% (everthing online) - $30 (mail in rebate) - $40 ($10 for every $50 spent) =
$146.74.

I've been wanting one forever, but we don't have the extra for it right now. Too bad...I love deals like this.

ETA: Walmart has one for $139 without going through all the discounts, but only in white. So, for $7.64, you can pick a color. LOL!

When do you people sleep!!!!!!

Katie slept in HER bed from midnight until 5:30! I heard her grunt, and peaked (her bed is at the foot of mine) and she was sitting there looking around with a look of disgust on her face. She then nursed for the next 2 hrs! I just took her to daycare, and I have to finish cleaning my house.

As for the night's discussions....

My older 2 are 28 mos apart, and I can't imagine them any closer. And ds12 was an easy baby! If dd10 had been the oldest, we would have needed more time between them. She has always been a strong willed child (which leads to the problems with dh......). I didn't think I would have anymore for so many years, and definitely thought I would be through by 30, but at 35 re-evaluated since dh wanted another one so bad. I'll be 37 next week, and I am so glad I did this! I'm just so much more relaxed now than I was in my 20s.

And I've just resigned myself to the fact that dh will never vacation with us. I will take my kids, and if they don't want to go when they are older, I'll go by myself! I'm trying to brainwash them while I can though. So far, it is working! I'm going to settle for little things, like a weekend at the spacecenter in the next couple of years, when no hunting seasons are going on, and no football, and no baseball........Pretty much dh says if we can get cheap DING flights in Feb he'll go for 2 or 3 days

So I'm planning WDW for 2010, a short weekend trip with dh in 2011, Universal (maybe) and a DCL cruise in 2012. Dh would probably enjoy Boston, so I have been researching that. He likes history, and loves the Red Sox, so he might work with me on that. I can't get him to discuss it though, so I'll just have to save up, book it, and then tell him about it!

 

[Piecey]

Don't have a lot of time right now.. gotta make pineapple beef teriyaki and pack Lucas up. He's going to my MIL's house until Thanksgiving!

Anyway, for those that were talking about the Keurig with me... I just got the B66 version at Sams with 72K-cups, a water filter and two replacement cartridges for $129.
It's the best deal I could find. They also have 80ct boxes of the Newmans Own blend for $33!

It felt good to vent, and dang was I mad, but it's over.

Well, DH freaks about money, too. Like I said, he thinks we are poor because we don't own our home.
I like to go, go, go and see as much as possible. It's just not something I'd want to do with Lucas so small. I'd rather wait until he was walking and I didn't have to worry about bottles and clean nipples and keeping formula room temperature, etc. That stuff wears me out.
I know the friend I usually go on these trips with would help but it's just not the same.

I got one from DH for Christmas last year. I that thing!! Mine is cobalt blue. I whip up chocolate chip cookie dough in it all the time-- I don't usually make cookies, generally I pour it into a 13x9 to make "bars" and they're SO light and fluffy. I attribute it to that mixer!!
Thanks for the heads up on Kohls! My aunt works there but I always forget about them.

We don't sleep. Muahahahahahahhaa.

Go Katie!!

I could totally accept a life of vacationing without my DH. But it finally came out, also, that he thought it was "crappy" (only not that word) of me to go "have fun" without him. And when I mention that it's NOT fun for him and that he doesn't enjoy it at all he just makes excuses. When he gets in those moods he just doesn't want me happy. At all. It's hard to find a way around that so I'm hoping that he'll help figure out why he's so focused on misery with this psychiatrist and I can go again.
I mean, I did my cruise with my friend in December while pregnant and we didn't have issues... so I just don't get it.



EEEK! MIL alert! must go clean!

Patsy - Glad to hear the vent did it's job. Sometimes we need those.

For some reason I'm in a baking mode tonight. I made a pumpkin roll and then some pumpkin cranberry cookies (that are still in the oven because some reason a batch of 36 meant I could make 50 of them?!?) So I'm still up. (And if someone's wondering, they are both on verybestbaking.com.) Alex "helped" for a while and now I just put him in his crib to see if he'll fall asleep on his own. All I hear on the monitor is lip smacking - he's taken to sucking on his wrist. He's gonna find his thumb sooner or later...it's only a matter of time.

Work's been going good and so has pumping while I'm there. I've been getting 4, 4 and then 3 during my last session. It's funny to see everyone run to the kitchen (my "room") right before I pump..."I need coffee" or "gotta get my snacks!"

Woman drives me nuts! It felt good to complain but in the end she only messed our night up a bit so I felt guilty for complaining about her.

As I was responding to december DH called to let me know he was bringing her home with ihm... and he was 3 blocks away. More thorough quick-clean EVER!!

I looove to bake. I've never really had pumpkin, though...

That is funny about the pumping!! When I announced my pregnancy at my old job that was one of the first things my boss tried to figure out. I worked in a bank so almost every room has a camera, even the supply room w/ the furnace.
Luckily we had two bathrooms- men and women (strange since we only had 6 employees and the bathroom was employee only). She finally decided that I'd get the mens because there was only 1 of him. I didn't end up staying after my maternity leave was up, though.
It's gotta be a nice little peaceful break from things, though... right? I don't know much about bf.

Stupid Mucinex-DM! I am wide awake and I am assuming its from taking that. I have been battling a cold/allergies for about 5 days now and today it got a little worse so I decided to take Mucinex. won't do that again at night! Not 2 mention we are in a hotel tonight, headed to the in-laws for T-day. This blows! (Well, I wish I could "blow" more of this mess out! )

Patsy-I really hope things are on the up-swing for you and Tom. Its good that things sound a least a little more positive than usual lately. And maybe the "alone" time ya'll are getting right now will lead to more outcomes for the two of you.m

As far as the owning a home thing, tell him not to sweat it. DH and I rented for the first 8 years of our marriage and now that we own our home, I wish we were renting again! The "joys" of home ownership aren't what they are all cracked up to be because with those joys come the headaches of home improvement and repairs!

Chanon=thats funny about the pumping! Did ya'll read the thread about bfing in public that was on here about a week ago? I was actually pleasantly surprised at the number of pro-bfing comments it got. I expected it to go the other way.

Your baking sounds very yummy! Especially right now! I could go for some cookies! My DM makes a lot of pumpkin rolls around the holidays to give out as gifts. I think this year I am going to make cookies, red velvet cakes, chocolate angel food cakes and chex snickerdoodle mix (the recipe was in the coupon section a couple of weeks ago-its very yummy!) to give out as gifts to neighbors and friends. Needless to say, I am going to be a baking fiend when we get back home!

Zander is a thumb sucker. Its really cute at this age but I am a wee bit concerned about how I am going to break him of the habit when he gets older.

Sorry you are still up. That stinks! Even worse that it's because you're sick. I always sleep worse in hotels, too. Is that part of it??
I noticed that you posted to Facebook and wondered why you were up!!!

I am actually being productive with my insomnia tonight (plus the fact I'm kid and DH-less all day tomorrow!) and working on my final educational technology project. Which is to make a PowerPoint on something I am interested in.. with a few certain requirements. I chose DCL.

Ugh! I had this whole post written out and lost it! Abreviated version....

Cookies turned out good. Can't believe that stores sell half a pumpkin roll for $8. Patsy, it's good to take breaks again at work, but I miss talking to people on my lunch break, that's the only time that really bothers me. I feel bad taking an extra 15 minutes after my lunch to pump so I normally pump at the same time.
Bought diapers from Amazon - did you know they offer free 2 day shipping? They were cheaper than diapers.com too...

Have a good day!
