Flamefuls? Confessions?

[kdubs923]

The ILs have been in Florida for 2 months. They finally just figured out how to FaceTime, so we've had two FaceTime dates in the last week.

Hearing MIL on speakerphone, saying all the obnoxious things she always says reminded me just how much I do not miss them.

Yes, planned home birth. Not planned to be unassisted, but NO ONE made it in time! I'm the closest, but I'm glad I missed it. I would have been freaking the fuck out if I was the only one from the birth team there.

And I love you. Needed to hear that today.  (heart)

I had a labor like your friend. I lived in constant fear of having a baby at Target.

I'd be completely happy birthing in public if it meant labor was an hour with no tearing.

I have no shame.

A girl on one of the swap boards I'm on posted asking for any trailers or apartments that rent to felons, because she, her fiancé, and their baby need a place to live.

I'm judging. And I want to know what crime her fiancé committed. And why she's still with him.

I never buy or sell on that site (I use another one all the time) but I stay on there for the drama!

How do you know she's not the felon?

My brother has a non violent felony conviction from years ago, when he was undiagnosed with bipolar disorder and not getting the medicine he needs.

Should he just live alone in a box somewhere, or is it ok that he has a girlfriend and put his life back together?

Her follow up comments make it clear.

I didn't say it wasn't flameful!

Exactly my first thought.

ETA: but I see now that was clarified.

I always said that having to change diet was my line.  Obviously I can't say for sure since I wasn't in that situation, but it seemed a lot worse than the 12 weeks of pain and 3 months of oral motor therapy I had to do for DS.

I have suffered from ulcerative colitis for almost 20 years. Diet modifications are par for the course in my life, so having to cut out a bunch of stuff while BFing to discourage recurring thrush, while annoying and sometimes frustrating, was still a lot better than the times when I've had to be on a liquid diet for weeks at a time. But I can definitely see how going gluten-free, dairy-free and just about everything else-free would seem insane to almost anyone else.

I have ulcerative colitis too. It was easy to cut out vegetables and bran. Milk? No way.

@tokenhoser, how long was your first labor?

Because I had 3 hours from contraction #1 to 10 cm and ready to push. (Thankfully my water broke earlier so we were at the hospital, lol.) I am somewhat nervous about #2 coming, like, on the kitchen floor or in my tub. My midwife keeps telling me it will be fine. I think she forgets I live 25-30 minutes from the hospital, LOL.

My first labour was 4.5-5 hours, and the second was about 3 hours total, but only 45 minutes from when they broke my water (I was induced).

im not having a third. Lol.

Okay, holy shit. Note to self, if water breaks, go to the hospital immediately. And hope it doesn't happen while H is at work, because it takes him 15 or 20 minutes to get home, then we live 25-30 minutes from the hospital.

Guys. I hope I don't end up with a kitchen floor baby. We have wood floors. LOL

I didn't know my water broke. Baby was so low, she corked it.

Oh, am I contributing to your nervous breakdown? Sorry.

I saw 50SOG yesterday.
With a (female) friend.
Friend's H and my H watched our 2 babies while we were gone. When we got home, I made dinner for us all, then they went home. Once they left, I told DH one scene in the movie made me "hot and bothered", while the rest was a bit much, and for a moment he was intrigued. Then he thought about it and said "honeyyyy I'm so tired, not tonight".
Isn't that supposed to be my line?

Disclaimer: Before anyone gets their hackles up, I don't support anything but consensual relationships. I don't like male dominance/control of women (or female control of men for that matter) for the sake of demeaning them, etc., etc., etc.

I keep forgetting to ask what it was that got you all hot and bothered!! TELL US!!!!

And are you going to do it tonight?!?!

Haha I don't want to spoil the movie for anyone who wants to see it and hasn't.
And no, we didn't. DH got home from work at 8 (for reference he usually gets home ~5:30-6), ate dinner, and went to sleep. Whomp whomp
