Confession, confession, read all about it!

What have you got?

[Dorothy Zbornak]

I ate gummy bears last night, then my husband INSISTED I also eat some pudding, and seriously thought I was having some sugar issues afterwards.

This is not a good confession.

[bigapple]

Inspired by other threads today:

1) I've never eaten at Panera Bread. I went there once, years ago, and they were out of all things bread. Like, not one crumb on site. A place that had bread in their name TWICE should fucking serve bread. So now I'm boycotting them for life.

2) I dated a guy with the urethra issue Careyalis posted about. His opening was on the side of his penis, under the head. Color me shocked the first time I went down, and cum came flying out at my neck.

[Dorothy Zbornak]

OK, I have one. It seriously gets my hackles up when ladies here declare things "not normal", like in the (I think) UO yesterday. Or like when pretty much everyone told Lauranicole that it was "not normal!!!!" that Peyton was still nursing so much. There are some things in this world that I think we can all clearly agree on things that aren't normal, but kids hiding to eat sweets and nursing a lot at 16 months DO NOT fall into those categories, and it makes me ragey that we would make each other feel bad about things like that.

RAGEY!

But it's NOT NORMAL that a bread store wouldn't have bread, amiright?

Well, yes. Was that mentioned in the thread? See, this (and a lack of time) was the reason I didn't say anything in that thread yesterday; I just skimmed through and saw that (I think) Lola and Gisa told katfco that it wasn't normal that her daughter was hiding behind the trashcan to eat cupcakes. Because, trust me, kids do weird shit and it's normal.

Like when I was a kid and we found a cake at the place where all the trash was dumped at the trailer park (you like my humble upbringing?). You know that we all ate it.

OK, I'm an IDIOT because I didn't even read what you wrote above me. FUCK PANERA!!!

ETA: The first place where I threw up during my pregnancy with Butterbaby was a Panera in Wichita, so my feelings on the place are not positive to begin with.

I'm fat. When I went jeans shopping, I had to get a size 16! I know I need to lose weight but I don't have the motivation to do it. Where would one find that?

[dojo]

I confess that I want to eat everything in sight. Including tableware and children's toys. GET IN MAH BELLY!

I'm really hungry lately.

We go to Panera on the weekends and one weekend they were out of bagels. They said they had a lot of catering orders. So, you don't plan for that? LAME! We still go there, the chocolate pastry there is so damn good.

B would nurse all day long if I let her. Seriously. All. Day. Long. When she wants to nurse and I tell her no (because she was down to twice a day but now she wants it more often since she realized she could lift my shirt up and bang on my boobs until I get so annoyed that I let her nurse) it's an epic meltdown.

I think Butterbaby would nurse a lot more if I were home all day. I'll sometimes take a bath with him and the first thing he lunges for are my boobs.

Even though I would love to have a son, and I know my husband really wants a son, I am slightly terrified about the possibility of getting pregnant and the baby being a boy. I dread dealing with the whole circumcision topic. I feel like you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. And either way apparently he could grow up to resent you according to Sue's cousin's mother's sister's dermatologist's hairdresser who was disowned by her son for not doing it (or for doing it, depending on the story).

That was part of the reason we didn't. We figured we can pay for him to get it done later if he wants it, but we can't have it undone. The surgery would pay for itself by cutting down the therapy bill

I saw that too and it made me a little ragey.

The vending machine guy has his cart full of pop and snacks parked outside the breakroom. Every time I see it sitting there unguarded I have the urge to quickly stuff things under my shirt and run back to my desk like a little kid. But I don't because I'm a morally minded adult, still I get the urge every time.

[teamhayes]

I ate an entire bag of chips last night

I hate breastfeeding andam counting down the seconds til I am done

[rubber pants]

I hate when first or second time parents say "I have no preference of the gender, I just want them to be healthy". Of course you want your child to be healthy but you dont have a teeny tiny preference??? LIAR!!!

I think if you are having your third and already have both a boy and girl, then its perfectly ok to say "I have no preference", because I feel you really mean that, since you have one of each.

Wanna go to Panera when we meet up for our love tryst...errr... Family day O fun?

I've been to Panera when they were sold out of bread. I didn't even know what to say.

What are you planning on doing to my grandma?!

Don't go expecting Sophia from the Golden Girls to show up!

[joyhart02]

I offered the mom who had 5 babies some of my frozen breast milk because I still have a stash. She said thank you but no because she has a great supply right now. I understand that because her babies are super tiny and do not eat much. But, in like a month or two or three will her supply still be able to feed all of them?

Why not? Wouldn't her supply grow to accommodate their needs? But what do I know? I can't even imagine.

She must have one hell of a rack right now.

I 100% didn't have a preference.  I suspected that I did subconsciously, and that I'd be excited/disappointed when I found out the gender.  But when they told me they thought it was a boy, at my 12 week appointment, I said "cool" and went on with my life.  And if and when I have a second?  I don't care either way, again.

I'm super glad that it didn't end up being the root of all my problems. Because truth is, I am just way to lazy to try and struggle and fight with a toddler all day to deny her the all day boob buffet.
I was totally bullshitting when I was all "yeah I have gotten her to only nurse every 2hrs" I was lying to you guys, DH, and honestly myself. I think boob denying lasts all of 1 day and probably only because we were out running errands that day so she didn't ask. The next day was a normal day at home while DH was at work so I gave in fairly quickly.

Maybe it will, but if each baby eats four ounces per feeding every two hours that would mean she would have to produce 20 ounces every two hours. Maybe it is possible. She is a dietitian and nutritionist so she probably knows all of this.

My manager leaves an amazing candy jar in her office. When she has meetings down the hall, she leaves her door open with the light off. I may or may not routinely check her calendar of scheduled meetings so I can go in there and literally grab hand fulls of candy, stuff them into my pocket and nonchalantly walk back to my office. She's kind of a biitch so it evens out ;-)

I didn't think I had a preference, but when I heard "boy," I went into a mourning funk for my lost daughter for a few days. I suspect I would've done the same if the situation were reversed.

I can't decide what I'd want next time. A girl for the different experience, to read my favorite "girl" books with, and to have that best friend later in life? A boy because the one I have now is so incredibly awesome and fun, and two could only be better?

[rainbowchip]

I honestly didn't have a gender preference with Lyla. I wanted both! Like I wanted a girl so I could have the magical "one of each" but I also wanted a boy because I already had all the boy things (clothes, toys, potty seat). Also, if Lyla would have been a boy, I would have had more leverage to have a third.

The only reason I cared in the least bit is because we had a girl's name picked out before we ever even got pregnant.  We were clueless on boy names.
