I have another one: I'm about to go get some eggo waffles. I'm trying to think of something else to get so its not so bad and all I can think of is stouffers french bread pepperoni pizza.

DH, MIL, and DD just left to go on a walk through the park. I stayed behind. I'm watching HP and the goblet of fire, and eating whatever I want. I probably could have used the exercise, but I don't even care. This is a way better use of a day off.

I have another.  Over the past week or so I've seen more than a few posts that contain the words "My H won't let me eat or drink ______ " or some variation.  And this annoys me to no end.  How is that your husband "allows" you to do anything?  Like what is that?  I do what I want.  My husband trusts me enough to know that I am not going to do anything to harm the child we have or the one I am carrying.  I am not some dumb "little woman" that needs to be told what I can and can't consume. And I'm talking about stuff like soda or sweets or a sip of champagne.  What the actual fuck is that?  It makes me very ranty.  Obviously.

Do people mean this literally?  Their husband literally will not let them eat/drink something?  I assumed it was in a playful way that their husband is overly worried about them eating lunch meat or drinking coffee.  In that case, I think it's kind of cute.  People don't actually let their husbands tell them what to do, right?  RIGHT?

There was a post the other day where someone's H wouldn't let them have a Coke and she didn't have the Coke.  It didn't sound like a joke or anything.  It was like you aren't supposed to have that now.  I was like WTF?  Now, I would never marry anyone like that, but let me tell you, if my H ever tries to take something away from me that I want to have, he will be pulling back a bloody stump instead of a hand.  That is all.

Haha, last time I was pregnant I cried because DH jokingly wouldn't share his salt and vinegar chips with me because he read on "pregnant bumper dot com" that it was bad for the baby.  Obviously he shared them when he saw how effing crazy I was for those chips! 

This time I was making a turkey sandwich right after I got a BFP and he commented "um, aren't you not supposed to have lunch meat?"  I laughed because I had forgotten about it completely, and I had to give him credit for even remembering that.  I mean, I still have the occasional cold cut sandwich, but to me, this was cute.

This exactly. I'm not sure why exactly that makes you so stabby but especially when I posted about my DH situation I went on to explain later that I probably exaggerated his reaction bc I was so annoyed by it. It's not like he's going to forcibly take things away from me. It's mostly just him acting like 95% of the newbies on this board when it comes to things that are traditionally not good for pregnancy.

I think it's cute if they are tuned in and concerned about pregnancy precautions.  I don't think it's cute if someone's DH gets legitimately upset or will actually prevent someone from eating a turkey sandwich or drinking a cup of coffee.

Yes! My BFF just had a baby in September, and when all the baby clothes went on clearance in August I suggested she stock up on some cheap summer clothes for next summer for her DD "Dh said I'm not allowed to buy anymore stuff till baby comes." Then one of their big ticket items on their registry went on clearance (therefore gone from stores soon) and she was saying how she really wanted to get it, but her H wouldn't let her buy anything till after the baby shower. Makes my blood boil.

Was she upset about not being allowed to buy things?  Or was this just like she and her DH had agreed that they would not make any more baby purchases until XYZ?  Sometimes I think people say DH will not let me buy _____  when they mean that they made an agreement or compromise with their husband about spending money on something, which sounds like completely legitimate budgeting to me. 

Though, I think ideally each partners should have at least some money outside of the family budget to spend on whatever they choose.

My MIL "couldn't keep it to herself" anymore yesterday & announced to her entire side of the family. If she keeps doing selfish stuff like this my entire pregnancy I may have a breakdown...

I'm about to have a slice of pecan pie for breakfast. With DS I developed GD so had to be really careful with my diet. By the end I would have killed for a sticky bun. I fully expect my pancreas to give up on me again so I'm enjoying sugar in my coffee and dessert while I can.

I had chocolate cream pie for breakfast because i feel asleep before dessert last night. 

FFFC: I would have had a slice of Dutch Apple pie as well but i was too lazy to dish it out, and warm it up.

My husband has to stay the night at his moms tonight and most of tomorrow to take care of her while his stepdad is out of town (she's in a wheel chair and needs close to 24 hour care). He really wanted me to come with and stay the night but I conviced him it would be easier for me to just stay at our house and take care of the dogs.

The REAL reason --- I want the house to myself on my day off. I'm going to get all my favorite candy and snacks, catch up on some real housewives, and watch all the chick flicks I can find! I MAY shower but there will be no hair drying, make up, or changing out of sweat pants until Sunday morning. My two furry daughters and I are going to have an amazing lazy bum day.

For thanksgiving all DD ate was sweets. She had brownies and cookies for lunch. And then she had so much pie I had to change her clothes because her skirt didn't fit anymore.

I want pancakes at the moment. Neither of us feels like making them so we decided to surprise my husband's mom with a visit where I'll mention my craving. I know she'll make them for me! Pregnant girl gets everything!!!

The angry little terrors my cousin brought to dinner yesterday made me examine my own attitude. I may have to take up yoga and get a couple massages to help me relax and get rid of negative energy. I can't raise an evil baby.

Sometimes I lie and say I have to stay at work late so that I can go out to dinner with a friend and not have to pick DS up from my MIL/mom's house.

I just need an adult meal & conversation every once in a while, you know?

I do something similar. DH is a SAHD and at least once a week if I get off work early I go to Starbucks and have coffee and catch up on FB/TB before coming home.

My DH is playing mario kart on the wii. I'm watching him and he is truly terrible, running into things and falling off the road. He keeps screaming at the tv anytime he does badly (which is each race). Finally he was screaming cause he wiped out and was like "why did I wipe out? really I'd love to know" asking rhetorically and I said "cause you hit a banana and then you hit a block" He shut up real quick, but is back to yelling, I just want to punch him in the face.

I wish my DH would be more helpful and understanding on why I'm not grocery shopping and cooking dinner every night . Evidently I need to put on my big girl panties and spell it out for him.

I am considering reporting my cousin to Canadian immigration as she admitted to lying on her and her dh's application about their criminal history (assault and drug charges). I know it is a matter of time before the truth comes out and part of me thinks it is easier if it gets shut down now before she breaks any more laws and lies to any more immigration agents.

It is for sure not your place to do this.

I would! If they find out you knew you could get in trouble! (At least that's how it is in the states)

I ate leftover birthday cake for breakfast and afternoon snack.

I went Black Friday shopping. ..for myself.

tourqeyes

I made my husband a leftover turkey sandwich with miracle whip tonight and I secretly wanted to take a spoon to the miracle whip jar.  I refrained though, I know gross but I love miracle whip!

That's good...stick with mayo

Miracle whip trumps mayo every time!

Miracle whip = barf. In my opinion mayo is not supposed to taste like frosting.

I will preface this by saying that I do love my in laws

BUT

Sometimes they make me wish we were never having kids. They stress me out sooooooo bad! They spoil DH's niece like crazy & I'm determined that will not happen with ours but my putting my foot down is going to hurt some very delicate feelings. I don't have the patience to walk on egg shells so grown people don't get upset. One of the first things my MIL said after we told her that we were KU was "Is it too early to start buying things?" Hell yes woman! We are only 7 weeks pregnant! Slow your roll. She was like this during our wedding planning too. She just goes & buys stuff then gets her feelings hurt if you say no.

I made green bean casserole for the Thanksgiving family potluck I went to. I made an extra pie dish full of it to keep to myself for snacking on the next couple of days in case it all got eaten... and I ate the whole pie dish full Wednesday night in one sitting >.< It tasted so amazing... haha
