I confess I'm getting maternity photos done tonight and I don't want to go. I was so into taking them before but once I hit 28 weeks I just want to sit in my pjs and eat.
I specifically didn't participate in the UO thread because of last week's debacle. So it's a lame FFFC too.
DH has a sinus infection and I'm so annoyed even though it's not his fault. Neither one of us is sleeping because he is coughing all night. I just want him to get better.
What do you call being stressed and hungry? Strungry? Then I'm strungry to the max. I feel overwhelmed and defeated and want to cry into my leftover spaghetti that I'm having for breakfast.
I'm about to order one of these because I can't deal with the constant bending down to pick stuff up anymore. And because I have a 2 year old, all the things are on the floor.
Yesterday I went for a walk with my husband at a park. I went to the bathroom before we got started, and while doing my usual crouch-pee, I guess I bent over too far, because the stream caught the curve of my belly, and traveled up to my boobs. So I had a pee trail from my boobs to my crotch, which you could see through the t-shirt I was wearing. But we had just gotten there and I didn't want to leave, especially because that would mean explaining to DH that I had just peed myself in public. So I just told him I was weirdly sweaty already and continued on our walk.
I am secretly terrified of gaining weight. Doctors said no more than 10 pounds in total and so far I am net net zero but I dread the scale like I was going to a weightwatchers meeting! My BP is high and my feet are major swelling and all my joints are hurting!
Oh well. I changed the name.. it's not like we don't have a million repeat posts but I'd rather not be one of the guilty ones! NOW I will post my FFFC here.
I am leaving for vacation in about 4 hours. I will be
without cell phone service or any other technology for over a week and as much
as I LOVE all you Ladies, I might not miss the bump THAT much SO ready to
relax with my friends & family one last time before baby!!!
@MamaOwl15. I hear you on the grabby thing! I have what I call "bent over" proofed my office. I clipped my phone charger to my calendar so I don't have to bend over to get it and moved my shred box up on my desk so I don't have to bend over to get those to take to shred, etc. My only downfall is when I eat something and it drops on the floor. I'm thinking that price looks good!
A mild one but I started wearing crocs to work. I finally gave up - these feet at 31 weeks don't do so well in 90 degree weather. I look like a monster
@DeeGreer I'm also in my undies but having cheerios....and a Mountain Dew. To be fair, I have an awful headache this morning and caffeine is the only thing that helps, and Mountain Dew is the only caffeinated drink in our house at the moment.
I took the clothes out of the washer, put them in the dryer, stuck a dryer sheet in, set the timer and went to bed... Got up yesterday morning and realized I hadn't pressed the ON button and the clothes are still freaking wet ! Oh my !
@CaitLewis15 I'm sorry I just laughed out loud. But in order to make you feel better I have totally peed down my pant leg while pregnant. I guess my view and aim when squatting while pregnant has been impaired!! However I told DH even though I'm mortified. Luckily I usually have a sweater I can tie around my waist to ease some of my embarrassment. I've resigned to the fact that I may have to sit down in public by the end of pregnancy >:D<
I'm at work and I am starving! There is a McDonalds across the street. I'm thinking about going for a breakfast sammie. I'm running out of time to decide. Lunch is only 2 hours away...
I don't want to work anymore. Like, I really don't want to! I have 10 weeks until my due date and my husband currently doesn't have a job so I have no choice - but the struggle is real EVERY SINGLE MORNING when my alarm goes off at 5:15am. I am struggling with severe back and hip pain and the last 3 hours of my shift every day have me in tears by the time I leave. Then I am too exhausted to do ANYTHING in the evening and end up just being a blob on the couch.
I'm taking a mini Vaca without my husband. I kinda feel bad but wanted to spend a weekend with my best friend from college before the baby gets here! Getting on the plane in a few minutes. I have to say, I'm a little nervous about being away from home being almost 31 weeks pregnant !

Oh I basically gave up on the idea of work like 5 weeks ago... I am READY for maternity leave, which I'm sure is SO much more work than my actual job, but at least I will have my baby!
My confession is that I have happily spent way too much money on this child's nursery so far. I just can't stop! We went into this thing thinking "we can be frugal with this baby" but that kind of went out the window as soon as I started looking for ideas. I've never actually decorated a room from scratch before - our house is a mashup of hand-me-downs, garage sale finds, and random sale purchases. Except for our now awesome nursery
I feel a tad bit guilty about it, but then again, we can afford it, we're not going into debt for any of it, and in reality, I've probably spent much less than a lot of people do. I know baby girl won't care for a very long time, and she doesn't need any of it, but it makes me happy.
Bonus (or I've created a monster?): My husband is now motivated to spruce up the rest of the house.

I might have to add 'extra sweater' to list of clothes I now carry extras of...because I'm just not ready to sit on a public toilet (
I'm exhausted from a 10 hour day yesterday, so I had a small chai latte and chocolate chip muffin for breakfast. And I've spent most of the morning on this board instead of working. Luckily it's a slow day today...
I couldn't fall asleep until like 2 last night which resulted in me not feeling well enough to go to work this morning. I was planning on going in later but considering just taking a "me" day to do whatever I want and de-stress.
I should be returning to work in 2 weeks but after talking to HR (we have new contracts as of July 1st), I think I am only going to work the first day of school, meet my students, and then start maternity leave. No worries because I am co teaching this year due to my very high risk pregnancy and the amount of time off I took at the end of last school year. I would just take leave but my new contract says I have to physically work 1 day with students before I am eligible for leave.
Reading the Christmas traditions board has made me wish it was Christmas so bad. So I climbed in the attic, pulled out the Christmas tree scent spray, sprayed the house, and turned on Christmas music.... I also watched polar Express at two am.
Not exactly a FFC but kinda- I want to throat punch people when they say really stupid shit!!! I have a friend who is getting married when I'll be 38 weeks pregnant. More than one person has said something about if the baby comes early I can bring him with or I can drink or I'll be thinner.
Ok. Really? I don't drink even when I am not pregnant so being able to drink is not any kind of incentive for me to have my baby prematurely.
I can bring him with? Yes cause that's what every new mom wants, a premature baby at a wedding during cold and flu season. I'm sure the bride would also be over the moon when my child starts crying halfway through her vows.
I'll be thinner!? In order to actually be thinner in any kind of helpful way I'd have to have the baby so early it'd be dangerous for him! No, again, not an incentive!
And I'm terrified of getting my glucose text next week. I love y'all, but there are some horror stories on the Glucose Test Concerns board! Makes me wish I wasn't an end of the month due date so I wouldn't have to experience everything last ( but still way better than the November 2015 group :x
I'm visiting family and I'm within 1000 miles of a chipotle for the first time in 2 years. My mom offered to take me there for lunch today and MIL is getting it for dinner and I'm not telling either of them that the other one is getting it for me as well. ALL OF THE BURRITOS!
I confess that I'm a wicked brat about my baby registry.
My mom keeps telling me how her sisters and other people are complaining that there's "nothing big" on the registry. Uhmm, there's a breast pump for $240, a video monitor for $200, a pack n play for $160, bedding set for $150, jumper toy thing for $110, car seat bases for $60 each and a bath tub for $50. I'm not sure what constitutes as big but there's a really good range of prices on there for "bigger" items so what are they complaining about?
Sorry...family (and us) already took care of the crib, dresser, stroller, car seat and glider/ottoman. We are being given a free swing so I didn't register for one of those. We are inheriting my nephews massive collection of clothes that I don't even know where I'm going to put it all. He has more clothes than a celebrity baby! Super thankful and gracious for his clothes though!
I just don't get it. Our registry has 120 items on it. A lot of the items are smaller and $20 and under because we don't need/want big ticket items.
In the end we'll get what we get from people and I'll be thankful no mattet what...I just don't understand the whining and complaints that my mom is getting. Wiiiide variety of price ranges on there or put together a little bag/basket of items adding up to your price range.
I confess that I am upset that I can't attend my friend's bachelotette. I was invited, but they're going to a two day outdoor music festival (no seating and all day standing in the sun while 8 months pregnant), and during the night in between they're getting dressed up and hitting downtown Atlanta. Not to mention all this would probably cost upwards of $300. None of it is feasible for me right now, and I'm pissed that they would even invite me to such an event. But on the other hand I would be pissed if they didn't invite me and I certainly don't expect my friend to change her plans because I decided to reproduce. So basically I'm being irrational but I feel left out (even though I'm only be excluded by circumstances, not my friend) and it hurts.
I'm feeling a lot of emotions I've never really felt before. I'm a very calm and extremely easy-going person, but week 30 has brought on the hormones.
I'm ashamed that I'm a bit frustrated at my little baby, because she keeps straightening her leg and pressing her foot out my left side. It was cute at first, seeing and feeling her foot. But she hasn't stopped since last night, and I am starting to get a bit annoyed.
I'm very frustrated that pregnancy is so long. I want to skip forward in time and have my baby, because I am extremely uncomfortable and anxious to meet her.
I'm kind of sick of everything revolving around the fact that I'm pregnant. I know it's natural to talk about, but I really just want to talk about normal things. I'm still kid free, and I'd like to enjoy these last few months while I can.
I cried last night thinking about the fact that in a few months, it will no longer just be my husband and I. We have had such an amazing 5 years of marriage with it being just us, and as exciting as having a baby is, I will miss this.
I'm sick of work, and I'm ready to be at home.
I feel you! Week 30 has brought out all the hormones in me. If this baby could remove its foot from my ribs while I am trying to sleep, that would be great. DH tried to tell me "well it's a good sign that the baby is getting bigger and stronger and he or she is able to give those stronger jabs."
He deserved the glare he got.
Also, work is the worst. I feel horrible saying that because I normally love my job but the third trimester is making it very hard to deal with other people.
Re: It's Friday so confess it all

(Unable to insert gif technical difficulties)
Also, what does FFFC stand for?
