I'm feeling a little bad about my food choices today.
Waffles with butter and syrup.
Cheese eggs.
A big ol' bowl of mashed potatoes for lunch.
But I did eat an apple.
A doughnut.
Now I'm making mac and cheese.
Because pregnancy.
I need to do better tomorrow.

@TinyDancer51510 I'm going to have to get a book while I'm out tonight, I'm sure Barnes and nobles will have one. SO parents are just always up the ass and Its beginning to put a dent in our relationship. I'm thinking I'm going to start just keeping it cordial and not trying anymore. It's really hard it's like there's no happy medium with them.

@Beverly0628 you are not alone... Top ramen (yes breakfast), donut, cheese and crackers, chips & salsa con queso, French bread w/ olive oil & balsamic vinegar, pizza rolls in the oven.. In the mean time I'm eating water melon and a protein shake to somehow make up for this atrocity??

I'm pretty sure B&N is where I got my copy. Your in-laws will probably be difficult to deal with for some time. If they're used to being able to do what they want, they will probably pitch a fit when you start enforcing your boundaries. But that is okay. You are not responsible for them, their feelings, or their actions. (I mean, don't be a jerk for the sake of being a jerk. But saying no and standing by that does not make you a jerk.) Hopefully they will get used to the new normal and will back off but they might not. Some people refuse to learn. You and your SO need to be a team. They might be his parents but you are his partner. You come first.

Anyway, stuff like that is in the book. (I get a little worked up about this topic. Lol.) If you want to talk about anything in it, feel free to message me. :-)

Love4littlethings24

@TinyDancer51510 I called and put a copy on hold lol I'm learning it was a huge mistake opening up on my medically history and our financial situation. SO is almost not being the most understanding and I feel like it's going to be hard for him to understand. We'll see how the talk goes. I'm not good with confrontation and usually when it comes to friends and family I try to be a people pleaser but it's making me miserable. It's time for change. His family told all family friends how much of an oops this baby is, that we were on birth control trying to prevent. That's no ones business, some one actually brought it up at the gathering about how "that doesn't happen often". Just weird to me. I'm having a hard time being a part of the family but respecting my own wants and needs of my own. I'm hoping the book will give me some insight I'm majorly struggling with this and having a hard time trying to get SO to understand..

Thanks guys! How cool is it that my job title is going to be bookseller? Best pay cut in the world! I killed that interview hard. They loved me and my obscure band references and horror movie trivia and the fact that I said I thought Battle Royale was WAY better than Hunger Games.

As far as food goes today, I've eaten chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, baby swiss, Fritos, and a handful of cucumber slices while my mom made cucumber salad. I'm so terrible! Yesterday I melted cheese inside tortilla boats and smother them in pineapple mango salsa, then I had Red Robin for lunch (onion rings, Southern Charm burger, and tons of fries with ranch), a chili cheese dog, an orange berry Julius, and then an Arby's jr roast beef with mayo and lettuce and maybe five or six fries.... I'm a monster!

Re: food choices. 2 donuts, top ramen, and green olives.

I ate a triple chocolate muffin with Dr pepper for breakfast, then Pringles and a chicken salad sandwich for lunch. I definitely eat better on days I work.

RepeatPostPolice

On a day like today, Dr Pepper over ice is absolutely perfect.

@vvitchhazel congrats on the job and now I want a Shirley temple.
May have to be the drink of choice at my BILs wedding this weekend!

So many of you have girls have had donuts today!!! You know I'm craving one now...a big ol' powdered donut sounds about right.

I've had a spinach, mushroom, and mozzarella cheese omelette with home fries, peanut M&Ms (another craving acquired from this thread lol!), and a cinnamon crunch bagel toasted with butter.

@mollyj931 you know it's only going to turn into "was that my mucus plug?" And "am I in labor?"

NOOOO!!! =( I don't want to see any plugs... Just no.

willashbaby

Oy, I had Mcdonald's hot cakes w/butter and syrup for breakfast, roasted fingerling potatoes w/sour cream for mid-morning snack, two cheddar brats for lunch, and I'm about to have ravioli w/garlic bread for dinner...and salted caramel bread pudding w/vanilla ice cream for dessert. It's safe to say I'm no longer losing weight, lol.

I know it's not really a big deal, but we are traveling to Colorado and I'll be doing a little light hiking... I would just love to see the baby before then! Say what's up and get the good to go. Even though I already have the good to go.

@RepeatPostPolice my A/S is September 1st (

TinyDancer51510

@Love4littlethings24: Yep, that was me! Huge people pleaser. To the point that I allowed myself to stay in a relationship with an abusive man because I couldn't handle making him mad. Anytime I tried to set healthy boundaries, he would do everything in his power to make me feel crazy or guilty or whatever and I would come crawling back. Now that I know other people's happiness is not my responsibility (but taking care of myself IS), it's much easier for me to say no and stick to it. Even if the person pitches a fit.
I really hope your SO comes around. Maybe have him read the book with you? It can be really hard to recognize that kind of behavior in our loved ones because they *should* have our best interests at heart. And most people don't mean to be manipulative. That's just how they're used to getting their way. If he won't listen to you, see if he'll go to a counselor with you. Sometimes people need to hear it from someone removed from the situation.

It's okay Snoop. I'm on the 28th.

Also look at the castle that was on the beach today! It was glorious I read a whole book and napped and took a dip in the ocean.

TBH, I logged in to TB and saw over 200 new comments on this the thread and was like :-O  I did not read through what I missed. I skimmed a little and saw some fur babies and some food. I'm sorry if I missed anything important. I you ladies, I am just too tired to read all that.  :x 


In the honor of our love of food, I am making French Dip sammiches for dinner tonight. Mmmmmm.

I went to my step cousin's baby shower yesterday. She's 32 weeks with twins and my step mother yelled, "Oh my God! She's HUGE!!", while everyone else was saying, "Surprise!". The worst part is that she doesn't even look like she's pregnant with twins. She's not huge at all. I really wish it was socially acceptable to duct tape her mouth.

My AS is the 10th of September, the day after my birthday. So a late birthday gift I suppose! I feel so behind on here, not due until the 29th.

I have been so hungry all day long and I have no good food in my house, so all I've had is crisps and tangerines to binge on. I could murder a Big Mac right now, or a mcflurry, or some chicken nuggets... Haha.

apinkpelican

I may or may not get to see my peanut tomorrow. It's driving me nuts! I'm thinking maybe it's not the AS but an extra regular us this time because I'm AMA? Who knows. But now I'll be sad if I don't see him. So it may be an early AS or I'll be scheduling mine for the end of the month too :-?
