FFFC

alyssa719

...because I don't want to wait (and you don't want me to hold out until it's really Friday).  Also, I'm pregnant, I do what I want!!

A couple days ago, in one of my horribly whining awful childish/emotional days, I said that I can't wait to have my body back to it being *MINE*.  I'm sick of getting randomly vag punched and/or rib kicked.  Especially at the same time.  The fact that this happens inside my body, at the same time that I get it from outside my body (our foster dog is not good with personal space) is too much when exhaustion and hormones kick in.

In response to this, DH has decided that I should be sent on vacation right after giving birth.  To someplace warm and beachlike.  Alone.  At first I was like, "fuck you, I have housed this monster for 9 months, I should get to enjoy squishing it" but now I think I may agree with wanting some pure "me time".  MotY?!

Also, I had sushi for dinner last night...  ...and breakfast this morning.

I could totally handle doing that for like a day or two.

I'm pretty sure he said a week or two... I feel like he thinks I need major "decompression" time.

May I come with you Alyssa?

I used to be pretty anti-induction, but I would totally do an elective induction at 39 weeks if I could this time. Like give me the Pit, I'll hook it up myself.

Eating leftover sushi is totally flamable. 

Gross.

Annnnd I totally thought it was actually Friday.

My early TMI confession is that yesterday after I put my kid to bed, I decided I needed to shower. After I put my clothes in the laundry basket -- I realized the act of undressing was entirely too exhausting for me and I was having hot flashes, I went and sat down to watch TV then surfed the internet a little.

DH had been out at dinner with his coworkers and boss, so I heard him open the front door and realized it would be weird if he found me sitting naked watching TV so I scrambled and sprinted down the hallway in all my glory to hop in the shower and pretend like I had been in there for a while.

Looking back, I definitely feel like a moron running down the hallway naked while 8 months pregnant. The visual makes me cringe.

The only reason I'm getting more gung ho on breastfeeding this baby is because I know it'll be damn convenient for our trips to the lake late August - Sept/Oct, and IF I did it for a year (which is highly unlikely) May-July of next year.

Before I thought of how nice it would be to not bring bottles on the boat I was going to most likely FF from the start. Then I thought how nice to not have to deal with bottles at the lake. Now I'm googling breastfeeding videos and perusing Kellymom like it's my job. It's purely for my own convenience.

I kiss my dog on the mouth. No tongue though I swear.

Katieryan13

I want to go on a babymoon/vacation now. I'm over everything.

INmommy871278

@tourqeyes‌ I do this regularly, DH no longer finds it odd that I do this. I showered after DS went down for nap yesterday then climbed into bed to watch tv and only got dressed because DH came home and DS woke up.

jnnfrrose6

@SarahVol131‌ the convenience factor was super important to me. Baby's hungry? Here's the boob. No measuring/mixing/carrying around and then cleaning a dirty bottle for me thankyouverymuch.

Salsera29

Also @Alyssa719, I get it. I'm also tired of being physically assaulted from the inside. TBH, other than the first couple times, I'm not really all starry-eyed about feeling him move in general. I mean practically I'm glad I feel him move so I know he's ok, but it's kinda weird. Especially when it feels like my cervix won't have to actually dilate because he's just going to put his foot through it.

One of DD's favorite things to do is to walk up to our boxers and shove her face in their faces and let them lick like crazy. I do nothing to stop this. Puppy kisses are the best.

I just scraped chocolate icing off my face after I was done with my donut so I could eat it.


I think that's my new low. At least for this month.

SaraRL07

On Tuesday I bought 6 Krispy Kreme Donuts with the intention of only eating 2 and then sharing with some of my coworkers. ....I ended up eating 4 (the only reason I didn't eat the whole box is because I called my friend over and gave her the box).  

I felt like a fatty all day but they were delish....I can't resist hot donuts!

I need a break from DH. Don't get me wrong, I love the guy to death, but he is driving me crazy. He has been super busy at work and brings the stress home with him. He has also become obsessed with saving money to pay off debt. I'm tired of hearing about bad days at work, how stressed he is and eating leftovers! I need a few days away ASAP.

katnipeverclean

I just decided I wanted PB crackers from the vending machine. The break room is on the 4th floor. I work on the 5th floor. I totes took the elevator both ways.

ghostof5letters

I sneezed and peed my pants and for a split second (before I realized how many weeks I was) got excited that quite possibly my sneeze caused my water to break. 

Then I went to the bathroom and finished peeing

This is me today...

If today is FFFC what the crap are we supposed to do around here tomorrow?

ETA: Unless today is actually FFTC. Which I would totally approve of.

ghostof5letters

I'm really annoyed that I'm on my second kid and no one has developed an iPhone app with a wand for ultrasounds. I know one exists (I've searched my ass off) but it's not available to the masses. 

Come on people! At this rate, I'm going to have to wait until my grandkids are gestating. 

Big+Lil

I cried yesterday because my dog won the Dog of the Day award at doggie day care for being a friend to all.

There are many, many FFTCs in that sentence.

We'll just make one long ass FFFC thread.

OMG... can you imagine how much more pregnant women's personal space/life will be invaded when those ARE available to the masses. Every single time they see their MIL they will be subject to an ultrasound.

If my MiL tried that, I would punch her.  I'll wait until this happens and then also make that a FFFC.

FFFC Part 2? Or "Friday's Random Comments: Entertain Me B*tches"

I was never one to understand the fuss over what dr does delivery. That was, until today, when we started to discuss possible induction dates and it turns out the ob that delivered DS doesn't work on dates I was considering. Now I am one of those peole who care. Great.

Tomorrow's a new day with new confessions. I have a hunch most of us are feeling pretty saucy lately. 

I'm taking my toddler to a dive bar tonight 

TallMomma29

I hid a container of muffins in the cupboard with dishes we never use so DH wouldn't eat one (and so he wouldn't judge me for buying more).

They have Dog of the Day awards???? I want to take my dogs to daycare just for this. I love it.

I'm addicted to the smell of our cats' food. It's a fancy one with all natural ingredients because the pets eat better than I do.

I took over feeding the cats under the pretense of wanting to be useful when actually it's just so I can sniff it. I purposefully don't put a lot in their bowls so I can fill it up more often and I don't care how weird that is.

I'm also keeping a (clean!) damp washcloth in the freezer so I can take it out and gnaw because I have a wisdom tooth coming in and it's that or kill someone. The in-laws took one look at me chewing on it and just shrugged, clearly I've lost the ability to shock them. I won't lie, I'm a little disappointed by that.

My dogs would never win these awards, but me too!

The thought of Kim and Kanye having more kids makes me want to vomit. 

bewilderingstar

I am secretly hoping I go into labor after my pedicure next Friday. (I'll be 36wks) Reflexology FTW. 

And if I don't... I'm getting another one two weeks later and hoping for the same thing.

That's not so much a confession as an acknowledgement of what every other sane person in the world thinks.

I agree with the birthing plan FFTC because I also watched two of my SIL's have rigid plans and both had to have emergency C-Sections and they had a hard time coping with the fact that they did not get the birth they wanted for a few months after they're LO's were born.

So I guess my FFTC would be that I don't understand the emphasis put on the kind of birth you (general you) have to the point where it seems to overtake the importance of having a healthy baby-is the birth not about the baby? To me, I will do whatever I have to to make sure I just have a healthy baby even if it isn't ideally what I would like to do (I mostly don't want an emergency C-Section). 

I do want to add the disclaimer that I do not think having a rigid birth plan = not wanting what is best for baby, that is not what I mean at all.

I didn't go into it last time with a birth plan, except for the basic questionnaire the Drs' office made me fill out (no I don't want an enema, yes, I do want drugs, etc...).  All I cared about was getting DS out the best way for both of us.  I ended up with an unplanned c-section and still had trouble after with the fact that I didn't (to me) feel like I actually labored or did anything to get him into my arms.  Some of it may have been PPD related.  

It didn't last long and I certainly don't feel that way now, but I don't think going into it with the idea of "do whatever is necessary to get baby here healthy" means you won't have issues after the fact with how your LO will come.  Most people still expect to have a vaginal birth (unless discussed prior with your doctor and you already know you have medical reasons not to), so wrapping your head around something totally different from expectations can still be challenging to cope with after the fact.

I'm eating everything I drop on my stomach. I ::only:: gained 6 lbs in 3 weeks...I can't afford to waste calories!

I refer to my nightly Klondike as a routine, not a craving.

DH goes out midnight tonight and I can hardly wait so I can get out my vibrator.

You want to go into labor at 36 weeks??  You realize that's still not full term, right?
