My eating habits have gone to crap too. I'm kinda at the point where I don't care. I figure as long as I'm not hungry and had at least some veggies, fruit, and protein each day it's ok. My baby shower is tomorrow and I can't tell if I'm more excited for the cake or for seeing some family and friends. Prolly the cake.
I cried in every episode of the bachelor in paradise! And I've been watching old re-runs of 16 and pregnant and bawling my eyes out! I don't know what's wrong with me! I'm 35 years old!! Also, I love Klondike bars and eat them while I watch trash TV.
I used to cry every time I watched the biggest loser well before I got pregnant... Couldn't even blame it on hormones then!
I did this, too! Every weigh in makes me bawl like a baby.
One if my 3rd graders asked today how the doctor takes the baby out....I told her I didn't know! She said well I was just wondering if they use a knife or scissors. My response was that I was counting on the doctor to tell me when I get to the hospital...and that I hope it's not scissors.
Then Miss Grown that sits behind her informed her of where the baby actually comes out.
Why do you all hide your naughty foods? Are your husband's dieting or did you agree to a certain diet?
I'm just curious cause my hubby fully supports my naughty food cravings and goes and gets the bad foods for me. Which makes my mouth and soul happy but causes my scale to weep Fortunately for me I can't see passed my belly to read what my weight is! If you can't see it, it doesn't count right?
@J1D My husband is a super health freak, and he's been reading EVERY male version of What to Expect and has been very vigilant on how much protein, iron and fiber I get a day. Some days he's totally on board for a fat night of chips and pizza, but most nights he insists on making dinner instead of ordering (booo) and making them JUST like in the pregnancy books say and to a tee. He's also obsessed with salads which I'm SICK of. We're normally vegetarian and eat well, but thats out the window since about 7 months I'm just always hungry and can't deal with bird food for dinner.
@TheSouffleGirl ME TOO!! New clothes? No way, french fries all up in my car. I hate when the smells gives you away.... i ate my McD's with all the windows rolled down just in case THEN drove home to get the air circulated lol. I'm aware of the inevitable "You taste/smell like fries" and it's just a bummer... #fail
I've had a mad craving the last three days for homemade Rice Krispie squares. Hubby offered to buy some *bleck* not the same as homemade, so tonight I'm caving and heading home to make a crazy mother-load of marshmallowey-ooey-gooey-chewy squares and I'll prolly put in waaaay too much marshmallow just to make them that much more yummy.....and eat it all for dinner!!!
I was working about 45 minutes from my office yesterday and took a break at McDonalds so I could be in the air conditioning. I saw 3 adults (including 1 pregnant woman) get out of an 80s model Honda with 4 children all under three. Only one, an infant, was in a car seat. I was frustrated for so many obvious reasons. Even if they all had seats, they wouldn't all fit in the car. You can get a free car seat at the hospital, social services, the health department, the fire department, etc. They didn't need to take the children to McDonalds so why risk their lives by having them ride on the floor board or on the lap of the front passenger?! Then when they got in they were yelling at these children in front of the whole restaurant.
Apparently I'm a terrible and fake person for not doing anything. Honestly, I'm not sure what I could have done (other than get them arrested) that would have helped during this 30 minute lunch. Plus, I wasn't about to interject myself into their situation and cause a scene. And I was on break about to return to work for a meeting. I felt helpless to help them. I see people doing incorrect things with car seats all the time (especially on shopping carts!) and I just don't want to tell other people how to parent or that they're endangering their children for fear of some kind of backlash. It's just so awkward and I'm a FTM so I feel like I won't be taken seriously.
Sorry for the rant. I just feel like in this case, poverty is not an excuse to endanger the lives of children for a ride to McDonald's.
@ameares721, my mom was in walmart last week in the checkout line and heard a crash. A man in the next line had an infant in the carrier sitting on top of the cart and it fell face down in the bottom of the cart! Ive never actually witnessed something like that but it makes my nerves bad to see the car seats on top of carts like that!

No guilt.
No shame.
Gotta respect the craving. =P~
Omg same! I have made them twice in the last week... even burned my bump once in the making lol. Soooo yummy!!

I hide my Chick-fil-A bags because I know DH will give me a hard time for not getting any for him. And he rarely looks at our online banking, so he wouldn't notice if there was a transaction from there. I take DS to Chick-fil-A a couple times a month when DH is out if town for work. It's half the cost if I don't have to feed the grown man!

Mmmm. Yes. If you like chocolate and PB, then after they have cooled put a layer of peanut butter and then melted chocolate on top. Soooo good.
I have been craving chocolate cake. I was thinking I might just have to make one this weekend.

I have another confession. I cried at Burger King. Full on had a meltdown. Work was terrible today and I was craving a cheeseburger from BK soo bad. So I went there and ordered it with NO ketchup. I hate ketchup. I get my food and take it out of the bag to check it and there's ketchup oozing out of the burger and at least 8 packets of ketchup in the bag. I was so mad that I just lost it and broke down crying when I went inside to have it fixed. I got my money back at least and they fixed my burger but that was so embarrassing!
FFFC- I am spending time on here when I should be focusing on my essay's due and trying to get ahead just in case baby comes early
Also, I made cookies yesterday, half the batter was rolled into balls and baked... The other half I ate ) I LOVE cookie batter (I promise this batch had no raw egg, but even if it did I would've eaten it anyways)

My kids know and they love to tell the world. I'm like sorrynotsorry. At least they don't have the deets on how the baby gets in there. Lol.
I've been craving donuts the last few days. I'm on bedrest and feel so guilty that everyone around me has to do everything for me so I was not about to send my husband out to get me a donut. Especially because there are cookies in the pantry and ice cream in the freezer (though they will not satiate my donut craving). So I never said anything about it, but guess what my DH showed up with when he came home from work today? A chocolate frosted donut! It was amazing! He's the best
It's Saturday but I have to vent and get my confession out for the day. Well two of them.
First when you're pregnant self side eyes me while I make your sub after directly staring at my belly I will judge you! I am obviously as pregnant as you are and you are not better than me because I am making your food. I have manners and treat others with respect, not be rude and snippy to customer service employees!
Second when you see a child in a shopping cart who is handicapped or of special needs, by his actions in the cart, do not give the parents dirty looks while pushing your toddler in your on shorts over sized shirt and no bra. Those parents are on an outing, be it a walmart it doesn't matter, and that child is behaving very well. Yes he is having some loud moments but he is smiling and enjoying himself and it is obvious! You Miss Snooty pants need to learn some respect. God forbid your child have any problem whatsoever where she acts out or is loud in any way I hope you get the looks you gave that family! You are ridiculous!
@komorebi, well I was just substitute teaching, so I didn't want the teacher to come back the next day and think I think I gave her class.an anatomy lesson, lol!
Re: FFFC
My boss gave me a six pack of Snickers two hours ago. I may or may not have just finished the second, with thoughts of going for number three.
Then Miss Grown that sits behind her informed her of where the baby actually comes out.
