FFFC

Sorry no fancy GIF as I'm doing this from mobile (off from work today wahoo) but let's hear those confessions!

I threw out all of my son's artwork this week that he makes at daycare. I took pictures of them so I don't feel as horrible and will try to do something with them eventually but I prefer my house to be clean.

I am silently freaking out about the HF&M disease thing and am having flashbacks to my first pregnancy and being overly paranoid. Now I don't "feel pregnant" and am realizing I'm acting like one of those FTM I make fun of.

Do you have an iPhone?? Download the app artkive. It lets you take pictures and save the artwork, then order a coffee table book at a later date with the pics

This is a lame confession but I'm really annoyed that I'm not "showing". I'm a stm. Where's the enormous blump? I really expected something at this point. Stomps feet.

Dr Google is my bff and worst enemy. I can't help but Google symptoms and no symptoms daily. Having no symptoms freaks me out a little.

I have two...

1. My diet is horrendous. I had pasta fagioli for lunch yesterday, then a Wendy's burger for dinner. Then a cookie. The only thing green I ate was the lettuce on the burger. Today I had 1/2 a buttered roll for breakfast, lunch will be campbell's chicken soup and a kitkat. I feel like everyone else is eating bok choy, lentils and brown rice. I feel terrible. 

2. I have a big mouth. Now my best friend at work and the secretary know. Plus my mom, dad, sister and BIL, best friend, a family friend, DH's best friend and MIL. I'm 6 weeks on Sunday.

Everytime I see 'I have no symptoms'.. the immature side of me peeps through and wants to scream 'well you can have some of mine!!! I have plenty!!!'

One more..
I deleted my sister from fb. I feel like if you wont speak to someone IRL, then you shouldnt have the opportunity to see what is going on in my life. My entire family is now 'protesting' me.......

Because I knew I would receive similar backlash for doing the same thing, I created a category "people who get to see my stuff" and put everyone in it except her and those connected to her. So now we are still "friends" but I haven't had any activity according to what she can see for over a year. It took some time but saved me the headache of being the "one who unfriended ur sister" ugh!

I woke up with swollen ankles again and was told to limit my sodium and drink more water. However I truly enjoyed my bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich yesterday

I did this too. People I "can't" unfriend, I change to "acquaintances." So the privacy of all of my posts are "friends, except acquaintances"

I am so over living in MN. it was one thing to get all bundled up when it was just me, but with a 2 year old and another on the way it not only is a hassle (and ds always takes off his shoes, socks, mittens and hat in the car) but it's so bitterly cold and windy. I am like WHY do I subject my kid to this?!

Salsera29

I unfriended a family friend this week because her father was at our house when we told my parents, so he knows. She has problems with social boundaries so I was afraid her father would tell her and she would put it all over FB. Now, 3 days later I get a friend request from her. I rarely post on FB so I'm a little creeped out that she realized I unfriended her so fast. It makes me think she's stalking my page regularly. The worst part is, now I have to re-friend her so her feelings aren't hurt. (At this point I could play it off as a mistake. I was really hoping to just re-friend her after 1st tri and that she would never know the difference. Wrong).  

I use timeline review though, so I think I'm ok as long as she doesn't put something on HER wall and tag me. That would be annoying.

I had a sex dream about one of the guys from One Direction after seeing them on X-Factor last night. I had to Google this morning to make sure he was over 18.

If I wake up and I'm any less nauseous or my boobs hurt less I'm thanking the gods and will gladly do a ritual sacrifice to keep them away, I wish I could give away my symptoms!

Right!? With DS, I woke up with reflux so bad everynight. It started again last week!!! Nothing is worse than being woke up by burning reflux....

Being woken up with diarrhea cramps is pretty bad too. Especially when you're half asleep and not sure if you're having diarrhea or scary cramps.

My friend does shutterfly photo books of her kids artwork and only keeps the very special stuff (ie. tree ornaments).

FFFC - When I see someone with the same EDD as me, I think:

 "Whoa, they were totally having sex at the exact same time I was. Gross."

My mom has been wanting a grandchild for so long. When I tell her I have my period, she looks like the saddest person on the planet. She's staying at our apartment cat sitting while we're in Miami. I hid all the pregnancy books and tests, and put out boxes of tampons in the bathroom. I'm pretty sure we're going to drive the woman to therapy.

rachoochoo2

I started babysitting my nephew a couple weeks ago (he's 7 months old) and the kid has a witching hour. Every day right around 6 he turns into a total beast and I know it's because he is used to getting a little cat nap at that time. SIL insists that she doesn't let him nap after after 3 (which is total BS because every time I am over there she is giving him a late nap). So my confession, I let him take a nap and I don't tell her about it because I'm the one having to deal with him screaming for 1-2 hours straight if he doesn't get it.

TurtleMonsters

I too want to politely smack ppl who complain of no symptoms. No offence.

We checked into our hotel last night. They accidentally gave us 2 beds instead of a king. I was secretly doing a happy dance. I hate snuggling and love having my own bed to lay diagonal in!

rachoochoo2

I am annoyed by people who are brand spanking newly pregnant who are already obsessing over what to name their kid (or already have names picked). I guess I don't see the sense of urgency in this since you have 9 months to figure it out.

MonkeyJD

Totally off topic @BPaws......my grandfather's first name is Maynerd! I've never seen it anywhere!!! Of course he goes by his middle name :P

biglewzer

There are at least 2 people in this group that live within 10-15 minutes of me, and another that grew up within 10-15 minutes of me. This freaks me out that I may know them in real life. 

MonkeyJD

My FFFC, I've been awake for about an hour but haven't gone downstairs to let the dog out because I'm laying in bed playing with you guys.

ETA: As soon as I wrote that I felt bad & got out of bed.

I have no idea what wine gums are.

I have started listening to Christmas music and cannot wait to put up my tree next weekend!

All last year my husband worked in MN. I went last winter and it was so beautiful at first snowy sight but I soon got over it. The winter wonderland disappeared and the snow started to piss me off after driving for hours, lol. On a happier note, now he's in Minot, N.D, lol

I hate any doctors office. My obgyn makes me wait a year and a half for appointments. I don't have patience for this. How hard is it to stay on schedule or not overschedule every day???

Personally I think my appointment should be free if they don't see me in the allocated time. Like certain pizza delivery places. 30 min or it's free.

I think NYC is overrated. Chicago is a much more awesome city.

I side eye the shit out of people who won't touch a drop of wine or sushi, and freak out over deli meat but see no problem with consuming fast food, soda, artificial sweeteners and other junk.

This was my SIL completely. Wouldn't eat a single piece of seafood (even though we all explained to her that there were only a few kinds to avoid), but she would seriously eat a fast food burger with extra bacon, fries and a milkshake for breakfast a couple times a week.

This isn't really a confession, just kind of funny. When DH and I left our RE appt on Monday there was a crowd of people and paparazzi surrounding some celebrity on Central Park South. We could only see from the back and I seriously thought it was Betty White or something because of the white hair and hideous white coat she was wearing. It was Lady Gaga- oops.

lindslalala

I am really annoyed about the amount of people on this board who are non-vaxers. You realize your kid can get POLIO, right?? I feel like it's some horrible trend, and it needs to go away. Herd immunity people, herd immunity.

V1981

Ok... I'm secretly happy that I feel worse at night so my husband actually has to help around here.

Not much of a FFFC but I offically pulled out my body pillow last night before bed (just the standard straight body pillow, not one of the fancy curvy ones) and had the best night's sleep I've had in weeks!

kmawb

Oh and anyone who's never had wine gums: you have my pity!!  They are kind of like jujubes but a bit firmer and not anywhere near as sweet - kind of tangy and sooooo yummy. 

Great BPaws, now I want wine gums!!  And next time just get all the colours and send me the green, yellow and orange ones, they're my favourites!

kmawb

Hey BPaws, if you like black currant have you ever had Ribena?  It's a popular british black currant drink (DH and I buy the syrup concentrate that you then mix with hot or cold water).

ETA: Apparently it's an Australian drink, but is very popular in the UK.

I wish that I had symptoms but I try not to freak out about it. I'm just worried cause my last pregnancy I was nauseous all the time, I know every pregnancy is different, I should be grateful.

AutumnBonfire

I wish I could hide this pregnancy from my coworkers. I don't feel like dealing with all the comments, concerns, and speculation (I'm team green). I also feel like I'm going to be judged for having another baby this soon. Everyone asks me how "the baby," meaning DS, is doing and are amazed that he's over a year already.

TigerLily12345

I very much hope to be out and about without this baby as soon as possible. Date nights, weekends away, girls nights, sleepovers at grandma's, whatever.

baby+drumm

I'm definitely one of those people who give in to junk and fast food cravings when pregnant, though I don't obsess over deli meat, seafood, etc.  Most afternoons I find myself leaving work and stopping by a fast food place for a "snack" on the way home.  I've literally been so hungry I've eaten dinner around 4:00 every day.  Well...my 1st dinner that is.  

Sometimes I wish I was more of a health nut...sometimes.
