Things your kids ruin

[dana86]

Alright lets have some fun. List it out, what has your kid ruined?

First off, my sanity. Second as of recent some amazing steamy dreams due to waking up to want to eat. Every single time without fail.

Sleep! Eating. Taking a shit in peace.

ETA: my body, specifically, my stomach.

I hear you on that one.  I am just starting to be able to go to the bathroom in peace and now the littlest is starting to move all over! I am trying to enjoy it as much as I can because I never know when it will be the last peaceful poop lol

Eating dinner. I either eat SO FAST so that we can get out of a restaurant tantrum free, OR, I don't eat hardly at all because I'm trying to feed the baby food and he eats as slow as a sloth and spits as much as a llama.

Definitely sleep and lazy mornings. My stomach, eating out (though that's more G's peanut allergy than our kids themselves), and quick errands.

stretchad, it might be worth checking out baby led weaning if you're tired of feeding him at mealtime. Just as messy if not more so but you get to eat too.

We do baby led weaning and usually he just plays with his food and doesn't eat nearly enough. It's BLW part that takes forever! He's very curious, so if you set down something in front of him each piece has to be inspected, rolled around in fingers, mushed and then eaten. Since we're uber focused on getting him to consume as much as possible, he eats a lot more if I'm feeding him. I give him pieces to eat on his own while we're eating, and combine it with fork/spoon-fed foods so that he actually eats something.

I should also add false sense of hope to having decent skin for the first time in i don't know how many years. First period post baby ruined that for me. zits all over

Sex. Dan wanted to fool around the other day and I was like, "Dude, I don't have space in my brain right now to feel sexy."

I hope food becomes less of an issue for you soon. G was heading towards a FTT diagnosis before she figured out eating and started gaining. She was and sometimes still is a really slow eater. She also gets teeth super late...no molars at all until 16 months. Once she got some molars in, chewing became easier and she started eating more. Before, I think she just got bored of eating since it took so long for each bite. I hope baby stretch figures it out soon so you don't have to stress!

My vagina. Seriously.

We've tried a couple times but I'm still too swollen and sore for it to work! 

I should probably just go pick up a grapefruit...

Grapefruit is going to be the new pocket pussy before we know it lol

Sleep, for shizzle. I am a zombie!

Of course, as I type this J is napping on the couch and I'm GBCNing, haha. I should be napping since B is napping!

As for the sex thing, this is exactly why I bought the Judy from the sexy toy party that karebear219 had. LOL It's keeping J happy for the interim until we can resume sexy time. I guess that's a good thing about c/s - I have no vagina issues apart from still bleeding, which is basically like a light period since they roto-rootered me. And I'll be getting Mirena again at my 6-week pp appointment.
