DH got snipped on Tuesday. I had agreed to it. I think that it was the logical, responsible decision for us.
I was barely fighting back tears in the waiting room. DH offered to cancel, but I told him to go ahead.
I cried my eyes out that night. I'm still sad. I know that DH is 100% against more kids. I would never in a million years try to force him into more. Heck, I don't even want more at this moment. But the finality of the vasectomy is bumming me out a lot more than I expected.
My h recently got the snip. I was 110% on board and was excited for it. I still am; I am absolutely done. But even as strongly as I feel about it, it's really weird to know we have permanently closed this door. I'm not sad, but I can easily imagine that I would be if I was not a million percent sure I never want to be pregnant again. It feels bizarre. I very much understand why you are sad about it.
2. I think I am a points hoarder. We have this points system at the grocer store I go to. You get 'offers' each week, if you buy certain items, you get points. They give you offers based on what you usually buy. For example, I always have broccoli, avocado and peppers in my offers, we buy those weekly…anyways. I told DH that when I got to 100 000 points (100 dollar store credit) I would use it. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. I want to HOARD. I am at 80 000 point and I am totally not going to spend them when I get to 100k. I have no idea why I feel this way, I just do.
ME TOO! i load my new offers at the first motn waking on New Offer Day. the whole concept has totally sucked me in. i plan my shopping trips around my offers. i buy items that aren't on my list if they are an in store offer (if it's something i'll actually use). i currently have a "buy $75 get 7500 points" offer and i'm deciding what i'll stock up on so i can hit that amount when i'm grocery shopping tomorrow... it's an addiction. i was SO mad when my phone died yesterday as i was loading up the card in the check out line and i don't keep the hard copy in my wallet. i really like that they offer rewards for fresh produce, meats, etc. since you rarely find an actual coupon for those items.

I'm having a hard time getting back on the CD train too. And I'm shitty at selling old baby crap, so I really wanted to get my money's worth out of them.

DH got snipped today and I'm right there with you. I know that we are done, but the finality of it just hits me sometimes. I've been crabby and upset all day, even knowing that this is ultimately the right decision. ((Hugs))

I got my tubes tied at my c-section for #2 three weeks ago and feel the same. It was the right decision for us for a lot of reasons, and I have no regrets, but I've still been very emotional over it. PP hormones aren't helping, either, lol.
My kid is awake, just laying in bed. Decide if you are up or not kid, so I can too.
I think I have period cramps. This is good, as it means I am not pregnant. It also means I am 'back to my usual non working self' as this cycle is at like 45+ days.
There is a mommy blogger that I've been following for years. I've even exchanged many many emails with her. She had her third kid recently and every time she mentions her second child, it's a comment about how she is the most challenging one and a "wild card" compared to sweet kid #1 and loveable #3. It makes me sad because it gets mentioned a lot. Maybe I'm reading into it a bit though.
I think I know who you are talking about. I've thought this too but I'm guessing it's because the middle child is toddler-ish and toddlers can always go either way. Haha!
Anyone else have friendly's ice cream? It's a restaurant/ice cream shop up north but they just started carrying it in nc. Soooo good.
Friendly's was my life as a teenager. It was our constant hangout. They are closing all our restaurants now & it is so sad. There are like 2 left. & it's DS' favorite. It's bright & colorful & there is ice cream & free balloons!

Me too! We were there all of the time- after school, after our hockey games, dates. When I moved here, there was only one and we went once- so dead in there. I wonder if they've closed it too...
C woke up this morning at 10am. She went to bed last night at 6:30pm.
I make no apologies for my kickass sleeper.
And it makes me not want more kids. There's no way to be blessed with multiple good sleepers.
I have stated this before but I would guess if you have one good sleeper you are more likely to have another good sleeper. I would guess genetics and parental temperament play into it. I mean it isn't a guarantee but I would think it is would increase your odds.
I believe this too. I think there is a genetic component.

Our friends have two - both STTN in their first week of life. They even went to the ER one night with their first because they thought all babies were supposed to wake constantly.
So not fair.
I officially hate swizz and bowies friends. Life is so unfair.
I hate the way my body looks. Flameful bc I'm under pre-preg weight.
I lost so much muscle mass. I'm just so mushy and gross.
YOU ARE NOT MUSHY AND GROSS…I have seen pics, you have body dismorphia lady, you look amazing.
Yes. I think I might. I briefly started therapy, then quit, bc I'm a quitter. Mostly bc I felt utterly ridiculous. Also probably flameful.
ETA: I was in a really good place with myself when I got pregnant. I had been working really hard to eat well, and work out, and I was feeling SO MUCH better.. and this pre-preg body has started to take it's toll on my mind. I know I need to start working out again, and eating better.. and I have 6 million excuses as to why I can't... I think it's a combo of a lot of things. I have a physical next week, i'm getting my labs done. something HAS to be going on.. HAS TO.

Oh no, I am sorry, body dismorphia sucks. My cousin has it. If your thoughts are overwhelming you, go back to therapy. You are genuinely gorgeous and need to be able to see that!!!

Ok, this I me too, exactly. H got one several weeks ago. I too sat in the waiting room holding back tears. I know for all the logical reasons we cannot and do not want anymore children. But I am still sad knowing that I definitely wont have anymore. And I keep getting sad each time the girls outgrow something etc. I think it's just coming to terms with that part of my life being over.
I don't understand the appeal of Alabama or Mississippi. Surely there are people that enjoy living there, but...why?
Peach cobbler tastes like vomit.
Just started reading through this thread and LOLed because...I'm in Mississippi right now for a few days (my sister lives here with her Mississippian husband). I joked on Facebook that I feel like Mona Lisa Vito.
Out of the blue dd started calling the baby Ada. No idea where it came from, dh nixed that name months ago. It's been a couple of days and it's still Ada to dd. I kind of hope it sticks and she makes our decision for us.

What happened to the "Mothers Who Regret Motherhood" thread? I was going to go read it to make myself feel less guilty for having a total meltdown today that we've ruined our lives and we'll never read a book or watch TV or go out for a glass of wine ever again.
Ummmmm where DID it go? I enjoyed reading that actually. It's good to feel not alone and everyone IRL is all like #blessed all the time. Nope. Most days, it sucks and I just want my old life back for 10 minutes.
Anyway.....was there drama? Who deleted it? And why?
