FFFC Friday

redheaded14

lets hear them ladies.

I had one yesterday but can't remember it now. Typical.

I had a huge random blackhead on the side of my face this morning, and I took great joy in squeezing that little beast out.

I really enjoy booking my arbitrations and trials into 2015/2016 knowing I won't be back to work to handle them until after June 2016!!! Someone else's problem!!

Edit to add that I am enjoying the shit outta my Halloween candy breakfast!!

Aside from walking my dogs I haven't excercised since I had to stop playing soccer at 12 weeks. That was almost 6 weeks ago.
I'm a lazy tired turd.

Don't know how much of a fffc this is, but i'm already tired of women commenting on my bump.

Of lack of bump. Every time I get a comment I want to reply, "now it's my turn to make a comment about your body. Cute saddlebags."

Hahaha i always want to say, "yep getting heavier every week. Thanks for pointing that out. I hadn't noticed."

I haven't been taking my prenatal vitamin regularly for last week because I can't stand the gummies anymore. I asked my OB for a scrip, but now I'm in a battle with insurance b/c they're supposed to cover them and they denied the claim, so I haven't gotten them yet.

I also am home for the 2nd day in the row due to a really bad corneal abrasion on my left eye. I probably could have toughed it out for a day, but my doctor gave me permission to stay home, so I took it.

My DH knew about changing the cat litter during pregnancy. I embellished and told him it wasn't safe to clean up after all animals. I haven't pooper scooped in months. I'm probably going to tell him it's not safe when breastfeeding either. I don't feel guilty.

This. If one more person tells me "are you sure you're eating enough? there's not enough room for two babies in there!!" ... oh okay, let me immediately go tell my doctor because she's clearly unaware that I'm current unhealthy. Whew. So glad you told me! I'm 5'7" and have a long torso, sorry I'm not already 300 pounds. I'm only (almost) 19 weeks. GIVE ME A DAMN BREAK.

And also- my FFFC: My boss asks me all the time whether I'm coming back to work after the babies get here or not, I've known I'm not coming back basically since we found out we're having twins. But the fact that she keeps asking me over and over again, just makes me not want to tell her. Because I don't wanna deal with training someone else for my job. So I just keep making her think that we haven't decided yet, and will probably continue to do so until maybe March. I just don't even feel bad about it either...

DH played hooky today. So, I left the dog in the living room rather than put him back in his kennel when I left. Pretty good chance he'll take a crap in the house somewhere, have fun with that DH!
Also, since I don't have to rush to meet up with him after work and carpool I'm taking my sweet time going home and running some baby related errands.

I am gung ho about women taking charge of their healthcare and telling their providers (doctors, nurses, etc.) what they want.  If you have a question, ask it. If you feel something is not right, say it. If you want to know about a possible treatment or medication, bring it up.

My FFFC: The reason I am so adamant about it and why I try to tell so many other women about speaking up is because I didn't do that in my prior pregnancy.  It was a huge source of regret. I felt like I just let myself get swayed along with whatever the doctors or nurses told me.  I didn't ask any questions.  I didn't voice any concerns. I didn't tell anyone what I wanted or expected for my care.  Even when I felt something wasn't right.  Basically I didn't stick up for myself.

I agree with all of this! But I want to be sure you know that you are not responsible for what happened to you. I just really hope you know you didn't cause anything bad to happen by not speaking up. Lots of hugs your way, lady.

My FFFC is that my A/S is on Monday and I think I am more excited to find out if I can be off of pelvic rest than to find out Boy or Girl. I am MOST excited to see the baby but then definitely to find out if I can be off of pelvic rest.

I'm guilty of lying about the cat litter. Told my H that I couldn't change it while breastfeeding either. Haven't touched the litter box since 2012.

I am off today for Teacher's Convention because I work at a school. I planned on doing an online training and an exercise video because I have to have all my CEUs done this month to keep my counseling license up to date. So far I ate breakfast, a snack and lunch and haven't moved from the couch otherwise. I feel like a lazy turd.

I am secretly glad that a close friend of mine moved out of state. Over the last few years I have been noticing ridiculously immature she is.

Example: A group of us held a fundraising event for a friend who is very sick with cancer. She ASKED to help out by making deserts, as she is known for being an excellent baker. Fast forward to the day of the event. She drops off about 2/3 loaves of pound cake and says it is enough to feed 75 people. She then says she didn't have time to make anything else so she bought a 5 dollar box of cookies from Safeway. Really?
Anyways she never apologized. Instead she told me that she expects her friends to know that her heart is in the right place and to forgive her point blank.

This. Only my person hasn't moved yet. But when she does I won't be sad.

Sometimes when dh's snoring keeps me up, I pinch his nose shut. He chokes for like 5-10 minutes but then I get a couple hours of peace. Yes, I'm a horrible human being.

Hahahahaha I do this too!!

I get irrationally angry when I see a facebook notification and open it only to see that someone has invited me to play candy crush.

I finally realized today that I have probably experienced 1st tri. for the last time. About 2% of me was sad that I'll probably never have a positive pregnancy test again, or hear a baby's heart beat for the first time. The other 98% of me is giddy at the thought that I will hopefully never again experience the 90 day hell that is 1st tri. I prefer ANY OTHER stage of my children's life to those first 3 months.

FFFC: DD's third birthday is in exactly 12 days and I haven't bought her a single thing nor have I started to plan her party which is on the calendar for November 22nd. I feel like a failure.  I've invited 22 toddlers.  Now I feel crazy. Oriental Trading here I come!  I have to get started on this. Now.

@Swoon13‌ i may have laughed at you a bit... but only bc i totally understand.

My confession is that i am enjoying torturing my mother with my pregnancy... i refuse to tell her the date of my A/S and planned on lying to her and telling her it was the tuesday after thanksgiving if i was going down to see the family on TG. I was then planning on bringing cookies or cake down and doing a reveal with colored sweets, but dress them up to be TG themed. And have a shit eating grin when i revealed it, fully knowing 100% she will cry.

She's just so excited that it's too easy... and i don't feel guilty.

BabyShanteau

I get so tired every day around 2, right when DD is waking up from her nap. Some days, I turn on the Curious George movie. We snuggle, I sleep, she watches. It's a win all the way around.

A few days ago I got a lb of ground turkey out of the freezer to thaw. (Mind you, it takes a full 24 hours roughly to thaw in the fridge so I have to plan this to make something with it.). The day after I've started thawing it, I plop it in the pan and start cooking it to make something for dinner.

And. Completely. Forgot. About. It.

I mean completely. Fuck knows how long later my feeble pregnant brain lets me know that something is amiss. I sit there and think and think and think. What could be wrong? Have I forgotten something? What's that smell...

Yep! Burning the hell fire out of it. It smelled like death. So I start crying because you know that's rational and dignified and THANKS PREGNANCY! I try to do some damage control while blubbering like an enormous baby, thinking that maybe I can get this taken care of before H gets home in 3 hours and discovers my shame...

He walks in right at that moment. His darling pregnant wife is covered in snot and tears and the house smells like burnt assholes. So naturally he starts laughing so hard he almost falls over. I will never live this down.

I did this exact thing with hard boiled eggs last week. Boiled the shit out of them. Literally was no water left in the pan.

FFFC:

My DH and I have slept in separate beds since my ms got awful... so like coming up on 3 months. 

It only feels like a confession because I feel like other people can be judgey about that. We love the crap out of each other but I am up between 2a and 5a (what the hell?!?!), a sheet tornado the rest of the time, and still can't handle smells and am full of nausea. There's no way I'm gonna wreck his sleep with this craziness - or risk me getting any less sleep. 

[spelling edit]

My H snores and with my MS it was sending me into a blind rage. I fall asleep really early these days so he stays in bed with me and when he gets tired he has been going into the guest room. It has kind of been heaven. Otherwise, I would have clawed his eyes out.

My FFFC: I'm glad my moms been staying with us and I don't want her to go home! Who's going to cook me food and do my laundry and make DH be productive around the house

purple_2012

I am worried that H won't like the way I look after the baby is born. Genetics isn't on my side for not getting stretch marks

SunnyBeachBum

Before pregnancy, my DH and I would take turns taking our dog out throughout the day. We live on the 4th floor, so lots of steps! I've told him lately that I can't go up and down steps, it's too tiring... So he takes the dog out.. All the time! I'm totally capable of making the trip, but I'm just too damn lazy lately.

My newly popped bump is making me self conscious. I still don't feel pregnant and now I just feel fluffy.

I'm jealous bc i haven't really popped yet. I'm plus sized so i just look even more fat with a santa like belly. I can't wait to look pregnant.

I feel the same way. While I was laying down the other night I had a moment where I thought "damn, I really need to go on a diet".
Then I remembered "there is a baby in there and it will only get worse".

Me too. I don't mind the uterus bulge so much except my normal stomach fat migrated upwards to accomodate and they balance each other out. So instead of a cute bump I have a number 3 happening. Blurp, blurp.

FFFC: I've been dragging into work and saying it was because I got stuck in traffic dropping DD off for school. DH has been taking her in. I just sleep in. Bwahaha.

i've got the sad "b" looking belly. gotta love that postpartum fatty gut that will never go away no matter what.

Yes! This B belly is ridiculous. Round out and look cute, already. I'm trying to be an adorable fucking pregnant woman and you aren't helping.

FFFC: My mother has announced that she's going to go out of the country to attend a Baptism during the last month of my pregnancy. She's leaving for the entire month and swears that she'll make it on time for the birth. I played it off that it wasn't a big deal for me while DH was pissed at her for "cutting it really freaking close". The truth is that I wish she would be here because, well, I'd like my mom to be here with me for the last month just in case. Sentimental crap. I haven't told her because I don't want to make her feel bad, especially since she already bought the plane tickets and it cost over $1000.00. Yup. :-h

Hang on, what baptism takes a friggin month?!

Ugh! That's what stung a bit. The Baptism celebration is a day--the rest of the month is her taking a vacation. She has family over there so she's helping herself to the rest of the month. The whole freaking month.

Yeah that would sting! Sorry she's being so selfish!

I too have popped and after I eat anything with a hint of salt I get really really bloated. Yesterday on my flight home (after eating a salty lunch), the woman next to me asked how far along I was. I was sick of the "oooh my, you're big for ... weeks" comments so I said I was 20 weeks instead of my true 16 weeks.

I hired a new sales associate a few weeks ago and haven't worked with her but my support management and other associates have told me how terrible and inappropriate she is regardless of having been spoken to about it already by my assistant. She didn't show up for 3 shifts last week or return calls and I was so excited to be able to terminate her for job abandonment because it made it so easy. Then she called and said she'd been in a car accident the day of her first missed shift and was in the hospital for a few days. Now I have to schedule her only for on-call shifts that we won't call her in for until she gets the hint and just quits. Why couldn't it be as easy as I originally thought it would be to fire her?!

This is the most depressing confession; since finding out I'm pregnant my fiancé and I have only had sex once between my never ending morning sickness and him finishing school and taking praxis tests we're just too exhausted or on different wave lengths I suppose.

DH has voluntarily slept on the couch a few times for a variety of reasons.  Most notably, he ate an entire loaf of garlic bread and I swear I could smell it coming out of his pores for THREE days!

It hasn't happened very often for us either.  My drive is low, so I don't mind...but I know he's hoping it'll pick up now that my MS is gone.

Feeling uncomfortable, peeing all the time, swelling in my ankles (mostly because of travel and being at a conference), not feeling pretty.

For fucks sake, I really didn't expect all of this until the last Tri.  Gonna be a LOONG pregnancy.

This baby better be cute.  oh wait, it will be
