FFFC

lizgrace03

Yesterday I slept until 9, napped from 11-12:30, and napped again from 6:30-8. That's all I got for this week.

My friend added me to a Facebook group to boycott our local Hobby Lobby.  The first thing I thought: ...but they have the knobs I want for the babies' dresser!

And to think I used to work with women's rights groups and volunteer for planned parenthood. 

I am a shitty human.

Don't feel bad, most people who are boycotting have no idea about the facts from the case anyway.

I haven't read the other responses yet, but here is my confession:

Earlier this week we were running late for a play date. I decided to forgo brushing DS's teeth so I would have time to stop by McDonald's for myself. Yep. Mom of the Year right here.

I had anal sex a week ago and haven't been able to poop right since.

I confess that I am so jealous of you ladies complaining about big boobs. I am the epitome of pear shaped. All booty, no boobs. Pre-pregnancy, I was a 36A. Now I am a 38B, but only because Barely There doesn't have 38A. My ribs have expanded, but my breasts really haven't changed at all. I fit the new cups, but don't really fill them. When I got my BFP, my first excitement of course was the BFP and knowing that after 7 months of trying, we finally made a baby! My second excitement was that YES! I was FINALLY going to grow a pair! But, nope. And I am seriously, honestly, truly disappointed, and jealous of all of the "my boobs are glorious!" or "my boobs are crazy!" talk. My small boobs are static.

I also confess that no matter how much I hear or read that breast size does not have to do with an ability or lack thereof to breast feed, I still worry that I will not have enough breast tissue. And I had never heard of flat nipples before, but since reading about them on here, now I worry that maybe mine are, and that'll just be another thing that will make it difficult for me.

I worry that if I truly cannot breastfeed, my husband will be disappointed in me and will be resentful that we have to buy formula.

@MindyAndRyan‌ Life events stopped my breastfeeding/pumping early. I worked extremely hard on keeping my supply up. My husband was more than supportive when we made the switch. And if for some reason you are unable to breastfeed and Ryan isn't supportive, he deserves a swift kick in the ass! It is nothing to look down upon someone for. Yeah, formula is expensive, but babies have to eat.

My FFFC: I bought SD, DD and myself matching packs of socks. I love crazy socks and it it's something that we can all share. I am still holding off on the matching pair of Nikes. :-S

BF didnt work for me (as I've mentioned, not enough breast tissue) and we did use formula. Yes, it costs a lot. I used the Costco brand and it's great and cheaper. DH was trying to be supportive of BF because he was told (not by me) that his support could make or break it. He took it a little to the extreme and ended up making me feel worse and in tears over it constantly. It was so mentality exhausting. I had to have a chat about him being supportive of my mental health over BFing. I don't think he was ever trying to be malicious. Anywho, the moral is, set boundaries (even with your DH) and keep your lines of communication open.

I don't really like music. I mean, I love dancing and if it's on and I'm in a situation where I can dance, I'm all over that shit. But listening to music to just to listen to music? Meh. (Which is kind of weird because I used to date guys in bands.)

I always listen to audio books in the car. 

People think I'm crazy for not liking music!!
I know all the words to just about any song- I just get sick of songs half way through. Oh and NEVER ask me to DJ. I am the worst.
Give me NPR.

With all this talk about flat nipples, are you guys FTM's?? I thought it was normal for your nipples to be flat and not erect at all times if you  haven't had kids. That's how mine were. After I stopped BFing they stay out. Thought that was how (almost) everyone was?

Mine were never flat, before or after BFing

Neither were mine!  I've always had really pointy nipples.

I don't usually open threads from newbs/people I don't recognize. It doesn't seem like most of them stick around (so far anyway), and I figure if they do I will get to know them eventually. 

I often wonder if I don't post frequently enough, and if I'm considered one of "those people."

Mine are only erect when cold or stimulated. Honestly I really didn't even know of flat nipples until I read about it on here. But being small-busted, my shape has some pointiness even when they aren't hard. So I really don't know if I do or don't have flat nipples. Dr. Google didn't help, either. I guess I'll wait and find out when I am in the hospital after giving birth.

@MindyandRyan here is a good resourse about breast sizes, shapes and the same for nipples if you want to browse

So yea it's totally not Friday anymore but I get a pass

I finally had an orgasm from sex last night!!! Well if not, it's as close as I'll ever get lol. I've squirted before but any orgasm I've had through other means has always felt different when climaxing. I ended up screaming and shuddering... so that had to be penetration induced orgasms right?

Wooohooo! This would warrant champagne, if we could have any

Should my new confession be that I drank a glass of wine last week? I would pop the cork and sip a little bubbly. :P

I had one last night. Actually I drink a glass a week/every other week since I hit about 18 weeks.

I'm going to ask my midwife about this... wouldn't mind a wine spritzer once a week.

Finally read this thread!

Let's see, I have big boobs and hate them! I was a 29 D before pregnancy. I had to get bras specially made but would wear 32 if buying from a store. I am now a 34 D. I was in a DD but it was too big!

I love tit randomly. Like seriously, it's random. I don't even know who post the stuff, I just love tit it and move on.

And my mom left all four kids in her car while running into the post office. She left the car in neutral and it rolled down a hill. Luckily, my brother was playing in the front seat and put his foot on the break. So, I guess it is possible to leave your kids in the car!

In my mind "those people" are the ones with generic avatars, no signature, and you can tell by their badges that they've posted less than 5 times. They're also the ones who only ask, and never offer anything themselves, nor do they come back to the thread they started. New people are awesome, if they stick around!
----------

I know 100% count as one of these people! Which sucks! But I just have no idea/not enough care to figure out how to change photos & other things (I know there's a post, but I'm only ever on my mobile so it doesn't show up anyway).
& I feel like I have nothing to contribute 99% of the time because I'm a FTM with no experience & can't connect with majority of US-themed topics.
I definitely read 95% of posts & because of time difference everything is generally answered/sorted/contributions I agree with are already made, so I just love tit what I like & move on haha

Jeeeeeepers that was a long post, sorry. Basically I adore you all (silently & creepily) from my quiet corner over here.

ETA: quote fail

@Wolkie

I'm the Australian on the board lol

I'm actually on the website now to rectify the situation. I do contribute when I think the contribution will be worthwhile, but I guess without a photo it just looks like a random all the time. Changing it now haha

Also this all came off way more whiny than intended. Sorry y'all

@Wolkie

Fun fact: I always read your comments in a South African accent

megbanachek    I'm from South Africa, so I know how you feel about always being WAY behind on posts and sometimes just going :-/ I'm also mostly mobile, but I try to get my signature etc right at least once a month!! In the beginning I felt like you, but I've made some good friends here now...

So let the two of us make the outside US groupies!

There are a lot of us not from the USA. However, I'm Canadian so the time zones correlate.

@Wolkie‌, please come kidnap us so we can live in the western cape. I will happily be an outsider.

Maelara  welcome to the outsiders!!! ) 

I have been talking to so many of you guys but only the other day I saw where most of you are from on my thread about misconceptions about your area! To me it is so cool talking to others and learning what their lives are like

Uh oh.. stalkerish typing style again

Maybe because our time zones are the same, I have never felt like an outsider here maybe you can be the different time zoners
