I was supposed to be at work 30 minutes ago, I'm laying in bed bumping and can't get up. I'm so tired and all I want is Waffle House.

Smile Cookie campaign is on at Timmies.  I've had a smile cookie for breakfast (along with my breakfast sandwich) almost every morning this week.

I'm not saying any of them are not good or worthy threads but... there are too many stickies. Most don't have new posts in them very often at all and they're kind of cumbersome on mobile.

I tried to do away with one and got my ass chewed out.
One is from TB and cannot be removed.
The others were asked to be stickys. I could unstick the random since that seems to be the most active thread and will prob always stay on page 1.

There are so many people on this board that there will always be someone unhappy with what is and is not stickied. We voted for you as our mod, so I trust that you will use your best judgment on this.

Thebump won't let you unstick the mobile app one?  Ugh.  Not only is it old news, but the mobile app is terrible.

My confession is that I didn't put pants on at all yesterday. I might not get out of bed today. I might also not do any more packing at all.

YAY!!! I vote for all three!! Stay in bed, with no pants and no more packing!!

Tame FFFC: I often get @WildFlower810‌ and @wildflower75‌ confused when on mobile.

We need to use this to our advantage more to confuse people. Like twins switching outfits halfway through the day.

YES! Totally!!

@KUinCBUS‌ you definitely need to pamper yourself

I am going to spend half of my half day at work Bumping. ;-)

Ewww... waffle house!!  I suppose that can be my confession... i think it is soo gross, but DH doesn't and I appease him about 2-3 times a year.  But no judgement @mommymed143.

DH has no idea how much I've spent on baby clothes and cloth diapers and he is never allowed to. I'm ashamed of my own spending.

Sometimes they (spouses) don't really need to know on things like this. I know dh doesn't tell me everything amount wise he spends for our farm & that stuff usually isn't cheap!

I think the only person I really lied to about money was to my mom about my wedding cake. She would have flipped her lid, why she was so concerned I'm not sure, dh & I paid for it.

Dh & I usually tell each other when we are spending more than $200 at once, or if we have to pull cash out of our savings account.

FishyMom

@kmw08 I feel like I need to see your cake!!  DH and I spent ALOT on our cake also it was more expensive than my dress and many other things for our wedding... it was special to us and we love it.  I totally get it.

My confession: in my nearly 3 weeks of "bed rest" I've watched 5 seasons of parenthood, 1 season of Scandal, and 2 seasons of Girls. I have been to nervous to be unlazy, but if they let me go back to work I'm going to be too out of shape to do my job

kjmommy1214

@NinerGirl52‌ What are these gummy grapefruit wedges you speak of? I may need to find these.

wildflower75

Not really a huge confession but I refuse to wear a scarf until Oct and I refuse to wear tights until Nov! I'm really trying to hold on to the summer as long as I possibly can!!

Also, I think I said this before but I am feeling sad that all this is almost over... like irritaionally crying at my desk, sad...I won't be growing another baby in my womb after this (getting a tubal ligation after my RCS) and even though there are plenty of aches and pains I really enjoy being pregnant...

This.  I do not enjoy most of being pregnant.  I am a FTM and am already starting to be sad that I won't feel her inside of me anymore.  I love every kick, turn and hiccup.  I love having her right here in my belly.  I feel like I am going to feel so empty when she's out.  Hoping I will be too in love with her and sleep-deprived to notice!

I've decided that 11:30am is NOT too early to eat the beef stew I brought for lunch. I've also decided that this will probably mean a second lunch in about 2 hours.

silverwings72

@heisenberg‌ - so happy you are home safe and don't have to travel anymore!

My FFC- Well, the labor buddies thing makes me kinda nervous because I have a difficult time putting myself out there. I have a fear of rejection. I'm an introvert IRL.

I'm not doing labor buddies because, first off, I really do feel it will be hard not really knowing what's going to be happening being a FTM and a twin mom and I don't want the responsibility of someone else's news on my shoulders. I don't want to be a deadbeat labor buddy. Also, I'm pretty connected (iPad/phone/laptop) so I imagine I will  have no problem posting my own update (even if it's a short one) from the hospital when I go in. Thirdly (and now not so secretly), what you said. I have a fear of rejection.

Not too early, I eat at 11 every day! No shame in being an early eater!

I ate too much cheesecake for breakfast

Another FFFC: DS is watching way too much TV/Movies today. I have so much to do and he is teething and has a cold. Cars is currently playing and I think he watch 14 billiob episodes of Thomas the Train the morning. 

And I'm spending too much of the time I should be working bumping. *shrugs* what are ya gonna do.

so I fully admit that I am totally looking forward to getting my new iPhone 6 (+?) when I can upgrade in December, but I think camping outside the store for days/week to get your hands on one is flipping insane. Its *just* a phone people! 

Seriously!  And it's not even a phone anymore.  Let's just call that ginormous thing a tablet.  

ssstephanie214

Cut some kid in line at the post office because he was taking too long to fill out some form. He came over to my window to yell at me when *he was done and the postal worker shut him DOWN. he was like "SHE'S PREGNANT SIR PLEASE BE COURTEOUS" and then he went away and we high fived.

silverwings72

@heisenberg‌ - awwww thank you! Now im blushing ">

@absolutelymaybe‌ and @knitsmagee‌ - It's weird how even the internet can bring out our insecurities. I mean, I am a grown woman, a professional, I work with male prisoners and gang bangers all day- I should be able to refrain myself from having anxiety over a labor buddy online, right?? Lol

I did find an awesome LB- @sweetbabyrahe‌ - she likes me! Hehehehe

Lilwatz

I love the new Taylor Swift song.  I am sure in another week of nonstop airplay I won't, but omgshiloveitsomuchrightnow.

mommymeg143

@Wildflower810...Pants are overrated anyway.  I've become a man this pregnancy.  As soon as I get home from work, I immediately change into "granny panties" and an over sized t-shirt.  When DH comes home, he typically finds me sitting cross legged on the couch, with my granny panties out for everyone to see.  I'm sure it's so sexy. 

@KUinCBUS...I'm driving to CBUS right now to pick you up and take you for a mani/pedi.  I don't care if it's creepy/stalkerish, you must be treated to both ASAP.  I'll be there in about 8 and a half hours.  Be ready!

@catlady22...I'm the same way!! DH has no idea how much i've spent on Emmy's clothes.  I keep saying "Oh, so and so told me to go ahead and grab this for my shower and they would pay me back."  I'm SO bad and never lie to him but it's just so hard NOT to buy all the cute things for her.

@Ashris13...I have always hated the Waffle House and thought it was so nasty until I became pregnant.   Baby loves her some Waffle House!!

@wildflower75...I feel the same way, except I hope this baby isn't our last.  We want to have at least four kids but you never know how that will work out.   I love feeling her move everyday and hate to think about "sharing" her with the world.  I can keep her super safe now, when she's out...she'll be able to leave me. (

The rejection was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the labor buddy comment come up.  I am glad they are going to do assignments tho so now I dont have to feel rejected!   but I am starting to think I may be better off just doing it myself like @absolutelymaybe, I too dont want to be a shitty buddy!

MrsG1019

My confession: I find it annoying that non expectant mothers take up the 4 parking spots specifically designated for expectant mothers at my hospital... (I don't think this would be such a pet peve if I wasn't high/risk and not allowed to walk any further than I have to) Especially now that I have to come here 3 times a week it seems there's always someone either coming or going from these spots that's not pregnant-- last time it was 2 construction guys in a pickup)
Today's example-- this elderly lady that just got out of that white car:
what's even more frustrating is that this person had a handicap placard hanging up -- & notice the closer and ALL empty handicap designated spots right in front of the hospital.

I do too!! However, I don't like that I heard she doesn't want to be associated with country music at all anymore. Don't forget your roots girl!

@runnershan My shower is tomorrow and all I can do is stalk today (and bump, of course).

Preach it, girl.  That chick better recognize where she comes from.

This exactly. I put myself on there but nobody said anything ... then I realized (and I honestly don't feel rejected) I may not post enough. So thinking I may need to go the absolutelymaybe route as well.

I think you all are considered regulars here.  We love you.  Don't feel rejected just yet!! We still have plenty of girls who haven't logged in today to see we are doing the Labor Buddies thing.  

FWIW, i'll be all of your buddy regardless if it's for labor or not.  hehe...

uncharted01

I had a giant bagel for breakfast... and then a giant soft pretzel for lunch. Carb loading anyone?

kjmommy1214

I shower and put make up on to go to my NSTs. Besides doctor's appointments, it is the only time I see people. I am sure the L&D nurses think I'm nuts, but being cooped up in the house, I need some normalcy.

I'm getting my eyebrows waxed today…and my belly! Missing my peach fuzz belly - all this extra belly hormone hair is gross! X_X

THIS!  I try explaining this to DH this, but I always add that I'm excited for him to meet him/her.  I just have anxiety about not having the LO as literally a part of my body any more!

I just went and stalked my registries,  people are buying stuff already!!   I just mailed the invites this past saturday!    lol....people love buying baby stuff !!   (self included!)
