Trying to Get Pregnant

FFFC

Okay ladies, let's hear em. Flame free (but not really) Friday confessions! Because it just wouldn't be the Almost-Weekend without this thread!

Mine is that I'm completely terrified of starting my new job next Friday......the 13th!!! What?! Who starts a job on Friday the 13th?!?! Oh, and also that I still cannot figure out how to do a new siggy pic because I can't figure out how to resize it with the new Bump. This makes me feel like a jackass.

Also........I may or may not be overly excited about being the person to post this week's FFFC........

Re: FFFC

  • My parents had bought a new house awhile ago and gave their farm to my brother. My brother sold the farm for 55,000 (was bought in 98 for 25,000) and I was told I'd get a small portion... Uhh yep didn't happen. Apparently they decided a new rv was more important. I can't help but to be pissed.

    S/O to yesterday's bra UOs. I wear my bras for like 2-3 weeks before I wash them unless they start to stink. I have two bras that fit and I rotate them.
    Ditto. I alternate between black and nude. I wash them probably once a month.

  • @catmagick I used imgur to resize my pics before I put the code in my siggy. I had a hard time with it, though. That's why I just went with the really tiny ones. 

    My FFFC - When school started 3 weeks ago I told myself I wouldn't Bump at work. (I'm busy enough already!) Yet here I am, as my students take a quiz. I'm dreading the inevitable day when I forget to close this browser tab and "Trying to Get Pregnant" shows up on my SmartBoard.

    Totally was.
    I even added extra sugar to my frosted flakes.

  • Friday confession.... I pester and whine to the DH about how I want to go somewhere and travel. He kept telling me that I just needed to 'pick a place' to go and we'd make the plans and save up the money.  So I said Costa Rica.  And now we're actually in the stages where we can legitimately plan - set dates, buy flight tickets, etc - and I've become a mess over it because I'm friggin' scared and I have no idea why.
     
    Hi there - we went to Costa Rica on our honeymoon and I did a ton of research on it before booking.  Feel free to PM me if you have any questions!

    My FFFC: I just made a horrible newbie mistake (you'd think after 8, almost 9 months of this I would know better!) I was having back/period cramps yesterday so I figured I'd test this morning before I got my period, just for the hell of it. I got up and peed/tested at 6:30 with a FRER, but while I was testing, I got more cramps so I figured the hell with it, and went back to bed without looking at the test. When I got up at 7, there was a faint line...DH couldn't see it at first, then he's all "well it's invalid, yada yada yada" and I know he's right, but I can't help hoping. I'm still having light back cramping, so that can't be good.

    Is this a confession because it's a crazy FWP?

  • My sister was due September 4th with her second child. If she goes into labor by early afternoon today I'm going to go visit her this weekend (she lives 6 hours away). Although I loved being able to meet my niece, her first, an hour after she was born and would love to have the same experience with her 2nd, a part of me is hoping it doesn't happen today so I can go next weekend instead. I'm nervous about how I'm going to react holding the baby while bleeding from my C/P.

  • @cramcakes Thanks, I'm crossing all my fingers and toes right now--I'll test again tomorrow. I know I've been trying less than a year, but it feels like forever and I so SO want this to be it!

  • I have two:

    1) I have more secret boards on pinterest than public boards. I have way too many guilty pleasures.

    2) I won't let my husband cut his hair.  He has this Jax Teller season 2 thing going on that I love. It's driving him insane. But I love it.

  • Hugs to you both @EmilyA724 & @macylynn27!! 

    @SmurfyLite - I have 3 secret boards on Pinterest (all baby related because no one knows we're TTC) but would love to have more... I thought only 3 were allowed?? Have they changed that?

  • I've been late to work every single morning this week because of back to school traffic. It gives me a lot of anxiety. I could leave earlier, but since I already have a 1h40 commute, this would bring it to a 2h commute.

    I've started to talk with SO about moving even though we bought our house last year. Ugh.
  • @AandJ28 - I only have 2 public: Recipes, and home. So maybe it isn't THAT bad. But still. I have a baby one, just titled "#2", and a Christmas one that I started pinning to in February because I'm one of THOSE, and a cheesy quotes one (inspiration, love, stuff nicholas sparks would thumbs up)
  • Sorry @EmilyA724 and @macylynn27 :(

    My BFF and I had our due dates 3 weeks apart and today she's going for the U/S where she'll know the sex of the baby. She's very excited and keeps on texting me and even planned a whole day of shopping for us on Sunday.

    I must say that I'm over the moon for her but it still stings a little.

  • @kramja01 FX for you! I would be peeing on everything in sight if I were you :)

    @EmilyA724 & @macylynn27 Hugs to both of you! 

    My confession, we got our chromosomal & DNA testing back this morning. Before I could tell my Dr that we didn't want to know the sex, he told us. It was a girl. I think I'm more sad now than I would have been if he had said boy.

    Also, I wear my bras for a week or so before washing them. I have 6, but I pretty much rotate between the same 2. I feel better knowing some of you go even longer :)

    I'm really sorry EmeJay. There is a girl at work that found out she was pregnant a week after my first C/P. It's really tough seeing her and directly comparing to where I would be in my pregnancy. It must be even harder when it's someone so close to you. ::Hugs::

    I prob only wash mine like every month or two. I have about 4 that I rotate though.

  • @beckynsean11 I'm so sorry. It must have been really difficult to find out the sex. ::Hugs::

    I'm sorry that the Dr. told you before you could tell him you didn't want to know! That sucks!! DD1 is a girl and I inner cringed when I found out. I was so afraid she would hate me. She doesn't :) I hope the rest of the tests came back ok!

  • DH is travelling for work this weekend and this is only the second time him and I have slept apart. I tried to sleep in our bed and I was so restless without him there that I slept on the couch instead.
  • @emilya724 @macylynn27 @emajay... ((((Hugs)))

    I have a friend that I actually meet when I was pregnant. She's my bf's neighbor. She doesn't work like me so we hung out a lot for a while because we were both pregnant and had a lot in common. She was much further along than me. When I had my mc she was so sweet always checking on me and we've kept in touch since. She had her baby Tuesday .... It was a girl (mine was a girl too). I'm going to go see her next week when she gets home to take some newborn pics of her baby. I do that for all my friends. I kinda don't want to but I'm sucking it up because she has really been a much better friend to me during my mc than some friends that I've know a lot longer.
    Fucking bump!!!!
