FFFC

Mrbatesisinnocent

I'm wearing the same clothes from yesterday. IDGAF! Also my hair is in a messy bun, but I put on make-up. What the heck is wrong with me?

Mrbatesisinnocent

Oh, one more, my hands smell really funky. I can't identify the smell and I've washed my hands like 10 times this morning.

I have no confessions today. I've been feeling depressed since finding out I failed my 1 hour and also around the same time yesterday I found out my grandmother has colon cancer and cancer in her lymph nodes. I guess I'm feeling super whoa is me. And I also guess that's my confession.

Mine FFFC is SO and I can not take our birthing class seriously. We try... But apparently we are just super immature. We obviously can show restraint while we're there... But we make way too many jokes in the car ride home. Between the goofy meditation things they have us try together, and some of the videos it's just bad.... we are both professionals and have no problem being so at work. I don't know why after hours when we're together we turn into giggling teenagers... :>

...and this is why I'm not taking a birthing class, I think I would just laugh the whole time!

Wow, that is a lot of news to take in.  Sorry @jenniferbromley.    :::hugs:::

@cboyington Thank you for being brave enough to share.

.  I am gonna rock them tomorrow, and maybe next week at work.  They don't like leggings at work, but I will wear a long shirt (duh) and they can send me home if they want!  It's hard to find clothes right now and even harder to justify spending the money when the baby is coming soon.

 

This.  I've been scared to wear them to work!!

I feel way worse for the people in the SUV in New York than the guy on the motorcycle who got run over. 

That business makes me so angry! Feel badly that the guy was so seriously hurt, but what would any normal person do surrounded like that?! Not knowing that it was just a bunch of grownup idiots on motorcycles, my assessment would definitely have been that they wanted to hurt my family and I, and to get away at all costs.

I get so angry every time this comes on TV.  The wife of the man said, "he was trying to help the guy" REALLY??!?! because in the video you can clearly see he was in front of the SUV making it impossible for him to leave.  If someone tries to surround my car when I have my kids in it you bet your ass you can either get out of the way or I will run you over.

So I did not sleep well at all last night.  I was sleeping fine until about 4:00 a.m., and then I woke up REALLY having to pee.  Of course, when I went back to bed, the cats decided they would start mauling me to death and purring in my ear (two of the three).  Then they wanted to curl up next to me on the Snoogle, one on top of the sheets, one IN the sheets, both in positions to where I couldn't move.  So I'm laying there trying to get comfy, and then DH starts snoring.  I'm not talking about a muffle little snore.  He was seriously sawing logs with a CHAINSAW.  Then the neighbor lets out his yappy dog that decides to start barking at goodness knows what, which gets the rest of the dogs in the neighborhood riled up.  THEN LO decides to start practicing his drumming skills in my belly for about five minutes.  By this time I'm furious, so I move to the couch.  The cats follow me and DH is still snoring so loud that I can hear him from the living room.  I threw a fit. 

My FFFC is that I actually purposely yelled as loud as I could "CAN'T I GET SOME FRICKING SLEEP IN THIS DAMN HOUSE FOR ONCE?!?!?!?!" so I would wake up DH because I was pissed off that he always sleeps like a rock when I can't get a wink of it.  Well, I succeeded in waking him up, and he got up to pee, then came out in the living room trying to make me feel better when I just wanted to rip his head off, because his snoring was part of the problem.  Once he went back to sleep in the bedroom, I cried myself to sleep because I was so angry that I couldn't sleep.

Oh   Snoring is the worst and I do the same thing.  I am sick of the snoring!  I hope you get some sleep soon.

Thanks @adawn1981.  I felt really bad for purposely yelling (after I calmed down, because that is way out of character for me), but seriously, can't I just get some sleep?

Edit: formatting...again

I just usually roll over more forcefully than I normally do... maybe accidentally nudging him in the process.  That usually wakes him up enough to quit snoring. : )

LOL at your cats, though.  Gotta love the cats...

I usually do that, too, @superspecialsnowflake, but it wasn't working this time.  I tried moving whatever body part I could (since I was pretty paralyzed by the cats) to shake the bed.  He would stop for like a minute, and then it would get worse.  Ugh!  I am so tired today.  I'm annoyed at most of my co-workers for no apparent reason, besides the fact that they're in good moods and breathing.

I came home early from work today because the nursery furniture was being delivered. I had every intention of working from home for the afternoon. But now that the furniture is in, I have an intense desire to say "screw work" and set up all of the pretty bedding, accessories, etc. in the room. Either that or just sit in the ultra-comfy rocking chair that we now have in the nursery and read a book.

So I think my confession is pretty damn flame worthy...

I STILL haven't taken my 1 hour glucose test. I've been out of town every other week with DH, and on the weeks we have been here we have been moving. There just has not been time. 

I did have time a few weeks ago, and I tried to do it, but one day I tried I COULD NOT avoid eating for any longer (that was at like 4am, and yes I have to fast for my 1 hour). The other day I tried, the hours for the lab online were different from the real hours and by the time I got there they were closed.

I am going out of town again next week and my next Dr. appt. is Monday when we get back, so I'm just not going to do it before then. If the Dr. still wants me to do it during the week I am in town even though I'll be over 31 weeks by then, then I will. 

The main confession part of this though, is that I just don't care to know honestly. If it came back that I do have GD, honestly I would have a very very hard time doing anything about changing my diet, forget having to check blood sugar or whatever. I'd rather just not know.

I used to love my job, but I'm really starting to hate it now.. I have a wooden chair to sit in, it kills my back and they won't replace it. They expect me to work until I deliver, which given that I work on my feet *mostly* and I draw blood, requiring a lot of bending & moving which I don't see possible days before delivery. I'm due 12-20, if I don't have Logan by Christmas, I'm expected to work 10 hour shifts at the hospital on Christmas Eve & Christmas Day. I work in a doctors office but my position is through the hospital so that's why I would have to do these crazy shifts. When discussing pumping options, I was basically told that I would have to split my lunch break up in two, and do it then.. So 2 15 minute breaks to pump, with no lunch.. How is that fair to me? I don't think I'll want to return after maternity leave.. I cried just typing this up because I used to love my job.. (

Is this even legal? Even if it is, it's really shitty of your supervisors to do that to you.

This cannot possibly be legal. Almost every single state has laws that are specific to breast feeding and pumping at work. Your supervision clearly has no knowledge of this, and you should talk to HR about it. It's even crazier to me that someone has an attitude like this at a hospital!

@Mrbatesisinnocent Got kosher salt in the house?  Put a bunch in your hands and then run your hands under the tap, as though the salt is soap.  It should take the smell off.  Works for garlic and onion, and you know how persistent those smells can be.

I'm sure this has been said already, but had that been me, I would've hit the gas with no qualms -- my #1 priority is to protect my child. DH feels the same way. I don't know any parent who would have a different reaction.

I totally told my supervisor and employees I had a Dr. appointment today so I could have the day off to come back home to celebrate Pecan Festival in my hometown, without feeling guilted because we are super busy at work these days.

Tell me more.  I'm envisioning pecan pie, butter pecan ice cream, and pecan rolls as far as the eye can see.....

Yep pretty close, my hometown is the states "pecan capital" we have so many pecan groves here. So the first weekend in Oct. Is all about Pecans, pie contests, food, vendors, parades the works! DH and I both took off work today and drove back last night to work at his families pecan processing business to get ready. His aunt makes amazing pecan pies. I'm pretty much just helping to score some chocolate covered amaretto flavored pecans before they sell them all tomorrow!!

Drool....

I'll have to try this when I get home. It's like a combination of garlic, onion, and green chili...I think. I made chicken tortilla soup last night. Yummy, but the hands are stinky.

I am so sick of waking up to pee all night.  I have resorted to peeing, wiping and not flushing during the night because the toilet wakes H up and it's every 30 minutes sometimes.  Last night I was too tired and just peed a few times and pulled my pants up - no wiping.  When H woke up today, he said "It smells like pee in here - there is lots of pee in the toilet, but no toilet paper.  Did you forget to wipe?"  Embarssed, I said "Damn nasty dog.  Bella must have eaten the toilet paper from the toilet!!"  Then I yelled at the dog for being a pig.  In my defense, the dog does eat toilet paper, just not usually from the toilet.

I have actually considered sleeping on the toilet so I don't have to move to pee. We have a wall next to it, so in theory I could just put a pillow there and be good to go.

I totally fell asleep on the toilet the other night! I just couldn't get up to pee again! I was so mad I cried and fell asleep lol.

Lame confession: I finally encountered a position in prenatal yoga I can no longer do without a lot of discomfort.  Instead of modifying in a way that would have made it obvious to the rest of the class, I excused myself to go to the bathroom.  Instead of peeing, I maybe cried a little and looked at myself in the mirror for five minutes before going back to class.

ETA:  Which makes me feel foolishly vain!  I'm there to stay strong and work on breathing in advance of a (hopefully) med-free birth, not to be an athlete!  I think I cried out of embarrassment at how bad caring what the other pregnant ladies in the room thought made me feel.

sleepymonkey

I have gone through more pantyliners in the past few days than I think I have this whole pregnancy.  I had a cold a few weeks ago and I developed my standard after-cold cough.  The cough is not good paired with a baby bouncing on my bladder.  I haven't had a big problem with snissing but the coughing is becoming a problem.

ekruegerrn

I have so much to do, and I don't feel like doing any of it.

I have homework that was due last night. I haven't even started it I can turn it in up to 2 weeks late for 20% reduction in grade. And I will probably turn it in 2 weeks from yesterday.

There are dishes, laundry, vacuuming and dusting to be done, etc. I'm just exhausted and in pain and don't want to do anything! I really have to find my motivation soon or it's gonna be bad.

@northport6 I will admit that I shot a woman who was 38 weeks pregnant and could still touch her toes a dirty look in prenatal yoga.
I also can't do downward dog anymore and of all poses....really? They say you shouldn't do that after 36 weeks, too bad, I'm only 29 weeks.... Lame.

I was thinking we had a major Confession on our hands...

I shot a woman who was 38 weeks pregnant..

What kind of person are you!?!? 

I now understand and am laughing at myself.....Moving on now....

I had to read it at least 3 times lol.

Are you serious?  You do realize that uncontrolled GD can cause serious, fatal problems for your baby.  You'd really rather "just not know"?

She is serious. She has made two or three threads about how she hasn't gotten it and how she really doesn't care. Not sure why she keeps mentioning it.

Unbelievable. That woman is really unfit to be a mother.

Well now I have one I was just in Walmart and I let one slip and tried to blame DH. Well DD didn't let that happen. Then we started laughing and I proceeded to let a few more go. Oops

liz429

This freaking c-bomb and her ignorance about gd is about to make me f'in crazy. Especially because she keeps pointing out her ignorance and selfishness in the situation. It makes me sick to think of all the women who would take a zillion tests just to have the ability to carry a baby to this point.

Sorry that turned into more of a vent. Guess Im in a bit of a cranky mood

opolanco

my confession is that i was seriously emotional today and vented all my frustrated anger at my DH, im nesting and i think i dont have a few things for the baby yet, also he hasnt been the most understanding from time to time and i was hoping seriously he would understand but i think he doesnt quite get pregnancy yet... so the conversation was left in a middle and im considering writing him an email with my feelings spilled over it... any opinions ?
