Okay ladies, let's hear those confessions! 

bntfroggie

My cousin is in town and I seem to have forgotten to invite my brother and his family.  Seriously we have had some big time family drama around my MC and I still can't find it in my bones to forgive them.  Besides that my SIL is like 38wks pregnant at this point and she rubs her belly like there is a genie coming out of it.  It is in horrible taste considering they don't know I'm pregnant again, she is a very me centered person and just brushed my MC under the carpet and didn't do anything to reach out to me or not rub her stomach in my face.

So sorry not sorry you don't get to chill with the family.

ecwk

@bntfroggie Don't blame ya! You gotta do what you gotta do! Sorry they were so awful  

bntfroggie

Thank you @ecwk.  I wish my mom understood the whole you gotta do what you gotta do thing, but all she is concerned about is my brother and I being BFFs sorry not going to happen.

blueeyedrose86

@bntfroggie I'm sorry The belly rubbing might not be her rubbing it in though. I could. not. stop. rubbing my belly when it was big. I actively tried, but as soon as I stopped thinking about it, my hand would go straight to the belly. It was compulsive!

My confession: I actually enjoy Sofia the First I like the songs and the story lessons. I sing that shit every day lol

kynbar5

@bntfroggie ugh I can't even blame you for not wanting to be around that and that's a bummer your mom can't understand it.

@ecwk What time is your appt today?

DH is talking ourson to the deer lease this weekend with his brother in law, our nephew and a friend and his son. Its on the river and they always have tons of fun.  DS was so excited about daddy picking him up from daycare after lunch that I could barely get a hug when I dropped him off. He didn't seem concerned he won't see my until sunday..LOL. My confession is that I had someone come clean my house yesterday so that I could lay around and do absolutely nothing all weekend. I don't even want to go out to eat with friends or anything I just want to sleep in, take naps and watch tv. All the things I never get to do on the weekends.

kynbar5

Well it's 8:45 here, I've just finished my coffee and I've started boiling some eggs for tuna salad that I fully intend on eating as soon as it gets made.

kynbar5

@Parker16772 I am SO jealous of you right now! I hope you 1000% enjoy your "me time"!!!

bntfroggie

@Parker16772 DH and I have been toying with the idea of getting a cleaning lady once a month just for bathrooms and to mop the kitchen floor.  I'm not positive he's convinced, but I just have no will to keep up with it.

My confession- my daughter has been awake in her crib for at least half an hour, but bed feels so nice I don't want to get out yet to get her! 10 more minutes please?!?

smount2011

I have to learn to tell my mother to BACK OFF on gym time!  We have always gone to Planet Fitness at 6am, but now that I'm pregnant and  exhausted all the time she still wants to go and drag me with her!  6am on a SATURDAY?   No thanks. And she will want to do it Sunday too.  I like the moron that I am told her I will go, but here its already 10am, I've been at work since 8, up since 6, and I'm tired beyond all tired.  It doesn't help that I was snapped awake by an awful nightmare.

Its 9am here and I already ate the majority of the food I packed for lunch - It's going to be a long day! On the plus side, we're going to the state fair this weekend, I can stuff my face with fried food everything!

I almost have all my food gone too!  I want to eat EVERYTHING IN SIGHT!!!

@charley15 my fffc is that I honestly feel this way lol

bntfroggie

@kynbar5 I had french fries yesterday and while they weren't the best fries I've ever eaten, I choose them over a side salad and regretted nothing :-)

Lol...

When I was at my other job we would always go early.  We completed our first run/walk half-marathon the end of July, and I've been battling weight since I found I have PCOS (lost 60 pounds over 2 years).  The last 3 weeks before our race I started getting tired and nauseous.  Literally I got a new job on 7/22, POAS 7/23, had BETA confirmed 7/24, and still raced on 7/26 at 8 weeks (walked the entire race in 4 hours 30 minutes).  I loved my gym time but now that I'm a high risk and can't lift any weights (as in deadlifting 120lbs) all I can do is walk the treadmill-which I can walk sidewalks around my neighborhood for better scenery!

Yes!!! There's not a single thing wrong with this. Except maybe that I do wish they would have been better. I get really upset when my food isn't as good as I want or expect it to be lol :@)

We ended up getting a cleaning lady about a year ago. I was working 50 or more hours at work and I was just too stressed out. Honestly DH doesn't help with inside stuff unless I ask. We had here come twice a month and do everything. She would even wash dishes and fold laundry. I stopped having her come a few months ago when work slowed down (the summer time is always slow for us) and I have really missed it but wanted to save the extra money for baby. Honestly if you can swing the money it is the best thing ever. I probably won't have her come regularly again but its nice when you need it. Yesterday she even organized the toys on DS train table. She took everything off that wasn't thomas stuff and put it away. (DS throws everything on his train table when you ask him to pick up toys)

I always feel this way too. 6am is a no go for me pregnant or not.

We're telling my in-laws this weekend. I don't wanna go!! I wish he'd go alone so that I don't have to deal with my MIL annoying facial expressions.

That sounds so wonderful, it made me tear up ha ha.

Man y'all, it's probably more of an irrational annoyance than a confession but it is annoying to me the amount of people that prefer doing a fb group over tb. Every time I see a new comment on that thread I sigh.

Seriously though, freakin bravo for sticking with a routine at all! That's awesome! Sadly, I lack that motivation and devotion (in working out).

My confession is that this pregnancy has made me feel like a bad mom.  Its my third - DD is 3 and DS is 2.  I get so moody and emotional, and I'm so tired all the time, on top of feeling nauseous on and off all day that sometimes I just snap.  I don't feel like doing anything, either.  It makes me feel like I'm letting my kids down and I feel guilty for not wanting to play with them.  I just want this trimester to be over, so I can get some energy back and give my kids the attention they deserve.

Parker16772

@shorty6788 Ok pregnancy brain over here looking at your tickers. Are you kids 2 days shy of being a year apart? 

Also I feel the same way right now. DH has been taking DS to do a lot on the weekends while I rest or take a nap. I just keep reminding myself that I am almost to the 2nd trimester and will hopefully getting my energy back soon. I do feel guilty but I am doing the best I can right now so I am not worried about it.

I guess I have two this week.
1. Ds takes a mom and me gymnastics class on Wednesdays. He refused to participate in most of the class. I told him if he didn't try one more activity he wouldn't get his hand stamp at the end and he just laid on the floor so I made him stay until the end but refused to let him get a stamp (because those are for kids who try their best). So yeh I denied my 2.5 year old a hand stamp and he cried the whole way home. Kid has to learn sometime right?

2. I bought school supplies for my kids I know will come in with nothing, but I just couldn't bring myself to spend the extra money to buy crayola brand. It just gets so expensive.

ecwk

Let it all out, ladies! It's good to vent!! @kynbar5 I've an ultrasound and bloodwork at 2.15 eastern time. Counting down!!!

skruhmin

Today will probably be the third day in a row of getting a second iced latte.  The exhaustion is kicking my butt at work right now.

@shorty6788 I totally hear you.  As much as I hate it, it's probably a good thing we're living with my in-laws so I don't have to do it all.  My kids are getting attention because of that.  Except my 3-year old starts acting out when he starts wanting me to put him to bed.  It takes so much freakin' energy to put that kid to bed with all of the stories, stalling, etc.  So I do it maybe 1-2x a week while I usually put my 1-year old to bed since it's just a bottle.  I snap at my 3-year old more than I'd like to admit. 

shorty6788

@Parker16772 Yes, my kids are less than a year apart (363 days we joke when people ask).  My "Irish twins"...totally unintentional, but God had other plans in mind!  We brought our son home from the hospital on my daughter's birthday.

I know I shouldn't feel bad...its the raging hormones and all...but I'm trying.  I wish my DH would help out more, and he has his moments, but I feel like I'm barely surviving here.   

bntfroggie

So I've been at work for 2 hours and 15 minutes and have done absolutely nothing.  I'm not even exaggerating.  Time to get at least one thing done.

shorty6788

@skruhmin I hear you!  My kids scream and cry if I'm not the one putting them to bed.  If DH even tries they freak!  I wish it were different.  Come bedtime, I'm so pooped that I'm ready to veg.

Same here! I made a list - time to start on it! 

ecwk

My confession is that I feel no guilt about indulging in the types of foods I would have said no to or at least limited before I was pregnant. I want a huge bowl of mac and cheese tonight! I don't know if it's a legit craving or if I'm just using it as an excuse. I'd better be careful or I'll be the size of a house!

I've been at work for 3 now.  NOTHING to do!  What little my boss gave me (and she took today off) I had done an hour ago.  I brought crocheting to work on my baby blanket lol!  I've only been at this job for 3 weeks now AND we are still on Summer time which ESY is all done so there are NO students nor teachers either! So its not like I KNOW what I can do to fill up my time (I'm a secretary).  I moved games from the cafeteria to the storage room and I shredded some paper.  That's it.

kynbar5

@ecwk I see absolutely no problem with this. I am however one of the biggest food advocates know to mankind lol. This morning alone I've had toast, cereal, tuna salad and I just finished a baked potato completely covered in my favorite bbq sauce. Admittedly, I have a 1 and 2 year old that will not let me eat alone so I do share Btw, it's only 10:12. Yikes lol

skruhmin

Speaking of baby blankets - I've been absolutely awful about my kids' blankets.  I decided since I suck so bad while I'm pregnant, that I will crochet bigger blankets that my kids will be able to use for a long time.  Way too big of a task to undertake.  I chose a very complicated design for DS1 and now I'm regretting it - I've only got it half done and it was my project while I was pumping for DS2.  Welp gave that up around April so now the blanket sits.  Maybe I'll just start over and do a simple one.  I hate that I'm not a finisher.

soxfan9968

@skruhmin at least you didn't finish your blanket because it's a complicated pattern. I started crocheting a simple Mickey ears hat for a co-worker when she found out she was expecting. She just had the baby and I still haven't finished an ear! Lol

This is my trend lately.  Glad I have an office so I can just screw around because my motivation when I first get in is ZERO!!!
