COMBO POST: Ped. Appt. and I am NOT horny  

post #1 of 16
Thread Starter 
So I think that when I tried to change my mood, I accidentally set it to "horny" which I remember being one of the original options, but which now appears blank. Which is fine, MDC doesn't seem like the forum to announce that one is in need of sexual healing. But I can't seem to change it to anything else and I've been worrying that it will suddenly start showing up again, or that it shows up in Explorer but not Firefox, etc. Paranoid much?

So for the record, mamas, I AM NOT HORNY. Okay?

We took Conrad to the pede's today. He had lost 1 lb of birth weight, and made up 4 ounces in one day between hospital discharge and lactation consult the next day. In the past 5 days he has put on another 8 oz. Our first son, a beanpole of a boy, was at the 75th percentile for height and 25th for weight. Conrad is the opposite. Looks like he will be our stocky, strong child.

But the funny thing was the pede (they all look like high school students to us, and seem way too young to be doctors) sort of losing his composure when I started to nurse Conrad. I thought it was just me, but after he left, Jonny agreed that the poor guy was having a tough time. He lunged towards a blanket to offer it to me, and I politely declined and he sort of stammered that it was up to me (as though to put me at ease? which I already was). Jonny said he didn't know WHERE to look, and I noticed that he even had trouble saying the word breasts when we were talking about breast feeding. : It was really funny -- and STRANGE. Surely pede's see more moms nursing? Or maybe more nursing moms are concerned with covering up the goods... I remember being the ONLY mama without a nursing drape at our birthing class reunion, post-Dylan. Or maybe I look like someone he used to sleep with, I don't know.

So that's my day. I'm not horny, and our pede is frightened of bosoms.

Carry on.

You know what's funny about your post... I was thinking of starting one that said "No, I don't want to have sex"... because EVERYONE'S advice for me right now is to have sex. It is the last thing I want to do...

Glad the babe is doing well... funny about your ped. It must be newer to him, I myself tend to be modest in general, so I'd have taken the blanket...but I really hope that I get over that with breastfeeding and feel confident to nurse how it is most comfortable for me.

at the ped. Are you sure he *isn't* in high school? (Doogie Howser, MD?!) That would certainly explain his immaturity at *gasp* maybe catching a glimpse of a woman's *breast*!

FWIW I am in Safari and your mood just shows up as a question mark

well i thought this post was too cute.

i'm glad conrad is doing well.... and wow, the pedi sounds like a total juvenile!!! strange people! so sad our culture is so obsessed w/ associating our beautiful womanly parts w/ only sexual thoughts/functions. good for you in how you guys handled it.

hugs!

and and

I have BIG boobs and trying to cover up brings more attention to the event. So I end up flashing people, so what. I act like it is no biggie and others tend to follow along. Goodness, it is FOOD, though food is a turn on for some people too.

I totally just got a Beavis and Butthead flashback... "Huh huh huh huh boobies huh huh huh."

Oh, and yeah, I'm not too into DTD at this point. Frankly neither is hubby, as there is just no comfortable position we can find. We tried a few days ago and lets just say "comedy of errors."

I thought it was going to be a post about how sexy your ped is. Hmmmm- maybe HE was the horny one, and the whole boob thing just blew him off course.

I don't even HAVE a mood, how do you get a mood anyways. Is there one that says "WAITING NOT VERY PATIENTLY?"

lisa, i wish there was that one....................!!! look up and see where it says to the right in the long rectangular box Welcome, and your user ID, in bold? well under there it should have a little area where it says My Mood: and then you scroll and click which one you want. mine doesn't give me the option of horny though. i don't know how curlita got that...maybe you gotta be a senior member for those perks...? ouch baby just thumped...felt like he did a bungee jump in there down back onto my pubis/pelvic bones/cervix...ouch. now i feel like i'm leaking something...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. maybe he's trying to get this party started................................. : i could only hope. probably just jumped on my bladder or hit it on the way down.

He was actually a little cutie, but I am old enough to have been his babysitter.

Maybe it was the fact that he came into the room while I was unbuttoning my blouse and was caught unawares. I don't know, maybe nursing is one thing but clothing removal another?

Maybe I am the one with the problem, unnecessarily sexualizing a visit to the pediatrician.

OMG, MAYBE I AM HORNY.

there was an empty space where horny would be alphabetically, so i picked it. now I am posting something just to see if it says I am horny.

Lisa , are you using Explorer? I'm in Firefox and was able to switch moods when I logged in on Explorer.
