I am sick and tired of "caring" what everyone else is doing with their child, pregnancy, etc. It's a free country; let people do what they want, and incur the consequences they deem fit for their family. Actually, I think I am just saying...I don't care anymore and/or IDGAF.

Today our office suite is having some kind of spirit day where you're supposed to wear our university colors or your favorite team/alma mater's colors but we still aren't allowed to wear jeans.

My response?

I don't really like my OB at all anymore. I wouldn't care if a total stranger doctor delivered my baby.

Stay strong @dh13 and @mmgkms and @taylormarie923! I'll admit that all my former vices came back into my life over the course of this pregnancy (Mt Dew, HFCS, grain) and I have indulged as often as the urge struck. And a lot of those things are not good for my baby either. I'm proud of you for sticking with something so difficult for the health of your babies.

I shall now put down the Halloween Oreos and eat some real breakfast...maybe after 2 more...

I actually remembered mine for once: I miss the fuck out of smoking cigarettes. Like, it sucks. I would actually kill someone to be able to sit outside right now in the cool weather, with a coffee and a pack of cigarettes.

I suppose the craving is all psychological, but dammit, it's still there. I promised my BF last year I would quit, and didn't until I got pregnant. I felt like a shitbag for not keeping my word to him sooner.

And I don't like the idea that any of Jr's clothes would smell like smoke, and where I did promise my boyfriend, I probably won't be getting that coffee and cigarette after either. Sad, discontented sigh :-<


Omg, there is a discontented sigh emoticon!!!!!

I totally know what you mean.  I quit in late December and switched to the e-cig before finding out I was pregnant, but I still get that nostalgic twinge on a rainy, cool day where I just want to sit outside and relax with a cup of coffee and a cigarette.  I think with fall coming it makes that feeling worse.

Big time. And the e-cig just never really did it for me. Grrrr. I feel like I have to treat myself to at least one smoke and coffee after Jr is born. It's only fair.

I haven't been a regular smoker for about 8 years and every pregnancy I want to smoke so badly it is hard not to smack one out of the hand of someone who is smoking so I can smoke it.

My FFFC is that my friend asked me to watch her daughter this weekend and I said no and lied about us having plans. Her daughter is a brat and is super mean to my daughters. The last time I watched her she screamed at me and anyone that got near her and then ran off so I had to chase her while 34 weeks pregnant. Ugh, I am a bad friend.

This is going to be totally flame worthy but I don't really care.  This is also going to sound gift grabby but it's about actually getting any gifts.  I am kind of disappointed that work hasn't done anything as far as some kind of baby shower for me.  Granted I know there is still a couple weeks to go, but I have thought they would at least have a congrats pot luck or something.  My biggest irk is that they threw a surprise shower for an employee that was there for less then a year before leaving when she had the baby.  I know I shouldn't care that they don't do anything for me, it would be nice to be acknowledged in some way.  I do know my one supervisor will be counting down the days until I return because she knows how much I do for work, so I guess that is something.  Like I said I know this is flame worthy, but today hasn't been a good day and I feel like venting.

I had a couple really strong contractions earlier and got all excited and cleaned the kitchen floor thinking maybe they'd continue. They went away and now all I can do is crawl around (severe sciatica/SPD) when earlier I was able to manage a slow hobble. Serves me right.

Thoughts and pra... oh, wait.

You seriously made me LOL. I deserved that :P

Half of my wardrobe is white and gold, and I would never dream of wearing jeans to a football game. I even have "gold" trousers for "cold" games  :-D

I couldn't do it! To me, team tees, sweatshirts, jerseys=jeans on bottom!

Mine is: 

I can't FUCKING STAND when post start off with FTM followed by a stupid ass question. So my confession is that I often type out a completely bitchy response or GIF then back out when I see people actually responding to the post nicely. Examples:

"FTM is this labor?" "FTM what's a bloody show" "FTM here, has my baby dropped? When will it?"

I may be a first time mom as well but I want to stab someone who asks these questions like being a FTM gives you free reign to not do any of your own research and bank of everyone else's responses.

I cheated big time on my GD diet yesterday (it was my birthday, so there!) and I fully intend to eat the leftover Chinese for lunch today even though it made my blood sugar rise significantly yesterday. 
I've been doing a great job of controlling it with diet and since I spent all day and night wondering if I was going to start real labor I just don't give a sh*t today.

Christine&Chris

Nesting has kicked in strong...at work.  I've done a ton of the work myself, but I'm also directing a lot of employees to pick up some slack. We are slightly overstaffed and they typically have time to chit chat, get coffee together, and generally pace their day easily. I've been cracking the whip having them organize supply closets, storage rooms, and generally clean up the place. They're all up in arms over "all this work." I think I'm getting worried about not being here for 3 months and the place going to shit.  I'm doing absolutely nothing at home.

Last night I drank a huge glass of milk and a stack of D.S. oreos. MH comes into the kitchen and asked if I was "allowed" to eat such delicacies. Of course, I said yes. I'm allowed 2 carb choices for my evening snack. One for the cookies and one for the milk.

I lied. I get one carb choice and I had like 4. IDGAS, my sugar level was 72 this am. I'm all good:)

Seriously. I'm with you. I am also a FTM, and sometimes when I see those posts I'm like, "Ug, just read a book, girl! Or ask your doctor! Stop depending on anonymous strangers to answer your random ass questions."

You are not alone, my friend. And if any of you side eyers haven't been a smoker before, shut your filthy fucking mouths. I'm so sick of people judging me for missing an occasional cigarette when they have no idea what it is like to be a smoker and have to quit.

Do any of you think you'll start smoking afterwords? I had no intentions of quitting then found out I was pregnant so of course I did. H was also a smoker but he finally quit to a couple months ago. I'm a little worried I will start up again. I miss it too. I'm
soooo trashy!

I plan to spend as little time at the ILs as possible with baby. They smoke, and the smell grosses me out. As soon as I leave their house, I have to shower and wash my clothes. Now I'll have to decontaminate baby too. And I totally judge FIL for smoking at all--he has heart disease and is having stroke-like symptoms and still refuses to quit. Cuz cigs are apparently so awesome that you'd die for them. Ugh.

Also hoping to make it to at least 39 weeks so I can get one last Brazilian and pedicure, and maybe use my GC to Massage Envy for a prenatal massage. I am probably unnecessarily afraid one or all 3 of these things could put me into labor.

My water broke on the massage table at 40+3 right after the masseur finished massaging my webbing (the spot between thumb and forefinger)-- a known labor inducing pressure point. But...being late already, I specifically asked her to touch on every known labor inducing pressure point. Getting one before 39 weeks, the masseur should know what spots to avoid. A massage in and of itself won't put you into labor.

I think I'm most afraid of the Brazilian putting me into labor. Idk why. I just feel like with all the extra blood flow to that area... Probably stupid! But I'm waiting until 39 weeks nonetheless. Funny your water broke on the table. That's good to know if any of us do go late! (I'm sure there will be more than a few.)

I got one yesterday and was slightly worried about the same thing. No signs of baby 16 hours later. Wax that ish.

I need another FFFC: I totes leaked pee on the exam table today when my OB helped pull me up. I was like "my bad".

jtothenel

If I see one more "what do I pack in the hospital bag" or "when should i start to pack my bag" post I'm going to chunk my pc out the window! I'm a FTM and this is my first rodeo, however I have seen more than 5 freakin posts about this subject. And I'm pretty sure you can google what other moms have placed in their bags. And Im also pretty sure its not that hard to distinguish what you will need versus what you don't need. Aye yi yi!

PharmDMom

A friend and I scheduled a play date at my house for 10:30 today. It's 11:47 and she hasn't showed. My FFFC is that I'm not that disappointed. I love her and her daughter but I am sooo tired and wasn't really feeling up to making lunch and cleaning up etc. I have texted her to see if everything is ok and I am still a little worried but I'm guessing she just forgot. This means an easy lunch for DD and me then early nap time for both of us. Score!!

This. With my MIL. She thinks it's funny to pretend around her boyf that she doesn't smoke. Trust me, he knows.

DS' birthday party is tomorrow. I was totally Pinterest Perfect for his 1st birthday, baking 6 dozen cupcakes and putting together homemade banners and shit.
This year? Kid is getting store made cake and a few balloons if I have enough energy to make it to the party store.

Gatorsgirl731

I'm going to go by the clock on the news so I can have lunch an hour early, and NOT the clock on the stove that says it's not quite time.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you hit reply before reading any responses.

Count Chocula has been my go-to breakfast for the last several weeks since it's finally back out in the stores.  And no, there is no eating fruit or yogurt to offset such a poor breakfast decision.

i like to let my male co owrkers think OB apts last 2-3 hours so i can get a nap in the car afterwards muah haha

My husband only buys really expensive fancy beer. Autumn flavors are my favorite.
When he asked me to poor him a beer last night, i stuck my finger in his beer and licked my finger. But I didn't swallow, haha.
It was delicious and I regret nothing.

Chinese food totally messes with my sugars too. They put all kinds of crap in that stuff. I have cheated a couple times too. I am just so damn tired of english muffins and peanut butter. I am so excited for my first meal after delivery. I think I want some sort of stuffed french toast from IHOP.

I keep eating cheeseburgers from culvers bc i know as soon as this baby comes I am cracking down on my 'clean eating' again.

Soooo jealous! My husband and I loooove Culvers! None here in Washington . Eat at least one more for me! Mmmmm and if you like concretes, one of those too!

I think for mine, I'll just agree with carriet2018. I'm in a non-people mood myself. Just. Can't. Deal. With. Stupidity.

Amjoy25

To all my GD girls: FUCK IT! I basically told my MW at my last appt and will do the same today, that I have lost interest in giving 2 shits about counting carbs. My A1C has not budged from 4.9%, which it was at the beginning of this journey. So, I am basically just sticking myself for fun these days. My doctor, told me at the beginning, he didn't think I had GD. He. Was. Right.  ^:)^ ::as i eat donuts::

My confession, I haven't cleaned a damn thing in my house this week becasue the cleaning ladies are coming today.  I felt, I  might  as well get my money's worth.  Just for those who think this is gross... everything is picked up and tidy but I'm talking about the good stuff--  hardwoof floors, carpets, windows, and my stupid stainless steel applicances that are so annoying to clean.

So you spit it out? Lame. I had two full sips of DH's beer last night and I don't even count that as drinking.

Finally remembered one! A few weeks ago, I saw a woman in the supermarket with a gorgeous handbag. By the time I thought to ask her who made it, she had walked too far away. But I was determined, I kept telling DH that I had to know, so finally I saw her in the next aisle and casually walked past her and then stopped her to ask. (It was a Michael Kors Selma bag, midnight blue, btw.) Was that creepy? Maybe. But I'm not sorry.

MK.. yes This is my baby:

gotta love a nice MK bag.. amiright?

My phone fell on the floor. Rather than getting up out of bed to pick it up, I rolled over and took a nap.

When I woke up to pee, there were 7 texts and 4 missed calls from my husband freaking out. Oops.

it wasn't enough for a swallow, i kind of just wiped it on my tongue and savored it haha. I don't even know what it was because he uses refillable 64oz growlers and fills them at local breweries and beer exchanges.
