unless i REALLY love something i'm not saving it for hypothetical kid #2. mostly i claim that it's because we have very little storage space (which isn't a lie), but my real motivation is that i love shopping and i know i'll want new stuff for that kid. if i get rid of things now i'll have a good excuse for shopping later.
So I have a REAL confession that's not even lame. I often wish I were religious because it just seems so nice and pleasant to have a bible study group or ask people to pray for you and believe in blessings and whatnot. Sometimes I listen to Christian music when I'm sad.

The people in my bible study also started babysitting my kid for free after I shared how stressed I was from never getting a break. Hidden perks of religion!

I want to re-buy all new baby stuff for baby 2. Crib, dresser, swing, nursing pillow, plus rock-n-lay and other things I never had with L. SO far all I've bought is a kick-n-play piano. But the retail storm is coming.
So far, I regret buying the kick n play piano. How's that for lame confession?
I didn't like it when he was a baby. He couldn't spend much time on his back because of his flat spot and he wasn't really into it when he was. BUT I have turned the keyboard flat in the last couple of weeks and he loves it now!

Even if your LO doesn't love it now, you can flip the keyboard and it's like a whole new toy.

@notquiteblushing at the risk of sounding totally hokey, YOU don't have to be religious or believe in order to ask people who are/do to pray for you. If it brings you a sort of comfort to know people out there believe even if you don't, I think that's ok.
What's the deal with wubbanubs? Does the weight of the animal keep the pacifier from falling out of the baby's mouth?
And it doesn't fall into the abyss of the carseat/RNP/crib as easily. She uses regular Nuk pacifiers 99% of the time now, but when I am on my hands and knees looking under the crib for the pacifier graveyard, I miss Ellie the Elephant wubbanub.

I can't recall if your baby is old enough to lay there and admire the dangly things and kick the piano. DD is beyond this stage but still too wobbly to sit and play the turned piano. However she has been chewing the heck out of all 4 dangly toys from the kick n play that are always strewn about the apartment. I think the blue gel looking rhino thing is her favorite, followed closely by the elephant ears.

I'm sad my husband hasn't checked in at all from his business trip. I mean, he's busy... I know this. But, even a quick text would be nice/appreciated. It's been a stressful day. Super lame.
I just ate two small bowls of basmati rice. Nutritionally devoid and possibly full of arsenic or something. But the fluffy grains were dancing on my tongue and it was delicious.
I really like MAMs. I think Wubbanubs look weird with a whole stuffed animal hanging off their face.
Lame confession: I'm getting kind of depressed about this pregnancy. Everyone was so excited and happy when I was PG with C and with this kid it seems like the only comments I get are negative: "whoa, two boys, good luck;" or "you're going to have your hands full" and stuff. How about you STFU and say congratulations?
I'm excited for you! We can have baby hang outs:). And I always liked being from a family of all the same sex kids.

I started going through the motions of attending church because I liked the community aspect of it. Faith came later.
Lots of churches, mine included, welcome visitors who are questioning or curious or just like coffee and music and free childcare.
There's a strip of rigid plastic down one side and you can flip the ipad so that the button lies under that. Unfortunately you can't use it with headphones, but you can still use it for games.
I'm curious as to why. Lies of people enjoy Europe pregnant.
I want to drink Belgian beer and French champagne Maybe that's my lame confession...
Not lame. We waited to TTC until our Thailand trip this year, actually the trip was time to start TTC. I am planning a Europe trip in august and will start TTC then too. If I am going to be kid free for a week its going to be in a foreign country where I can have all.the.wine. sober vacation is not fun!!

Ooh, thanks! We might have to get that for our next trip, except he tends to watch a lot of movies on it. We might just have to get a new ipad or kindle hdx or something more up to date. The lack of kids mode only features in the old one is really frustrating.
I agree. I'd look into the options for locking down a kindle before you make the purchase - I don't know if there's anything as good as the ipad's Guided Access for them. Now we just use H's ipad mini for DD, but he's angling for an upgrade so that can be "her" ipad.
I want to post something on MIL's FB that is a passive aggressive dig at my BIL and his wife. But then I would have to follow through on it and I don't want to b/c she never does anything for us.
I want a halloween tree. I think it's totally fine to spend 100.00 on a white XMAS tree plus another 100.00 on decorations ( all black balls and black cats and a witches hat ) to put in my dining room because it will become the DISNEY tree at XMAS and be home to all my disney ornaments.

Right? This is normal ?
I don't know if I'd say normal;). Sounds fun though! You should do it.

My mom at one point had four trees. I say have at it. Post pics!

We were invited to go to the Bahamas next year on a Disney Cruise. Very tempted even though the budget will be tight but I don't know how long it will take to get DD2's name legally changed all of the places we need to in time.
