Outie belly buttons weird me out. And I live in constant fear while pregnant that LO will have one. I can't even handle the idea of mine popping out. But my cavernous belly button also makes me uncomfortable. Belly Buttons....just ew!
I never thought much about belly buttons until I could see the inside of mine. It's weird.
I may have overestimated myself today. Decided to come with DH to the supermarket to make sure he got the right stuff (I do not trust him with a grocery list, mainly because he doesn't speak the language and doesn't know the brands) and now we're sitting on the bench outside with a pinched nerve in my back and pain all over. I have no idea how we're gonna take that walk home now.
On the other hand, got to see a thief run away from the supermarket and drop her smartphone while running, that made me laugh.

At least you found a silver lining. I'm really sorry that you're still feeling so crummy, though.
@yodiggity No, not everyone's belly button will pop. Mine never has, regardless of my starting weight or how much I gained. If it were ever going to pop out, you'd think it would ha e been last pregnancy, when I started out at just 115 pounds, and gained 65 pounds, with a uterus that measured 64 cm on the day he was born... But actually, it came much closer with my fourth, when I started out at about 140 and only gained about 20 pounds. It went completely flat, but didn't pop out.
The closest I have to a fffc this week is that I ate froot loops for breakfast this morning. They were delicious, and now my mouth is raw, so I already paid for it.
Today is the 10 year anniversary of the day my little brother died. He was 16 and it was awful for a long time. My confession: I probably wouldn't have remembered it today if it weren't for the rest of my family posting tributes to him on Facebook, and while it's not the first year I can say that, it's the first year I don't actually feel guilty about it. Turns out time can heal even the broken-est hearts.
So the temp who is going to handle my job while I'm out on Maternity leave will be starting on Monday and I'm a little tiny bit paranoid that when I come back, she'll have done a better job than me..
I need a second one, since this one happened after I posted my first.
I'm so sick of my father gushing about all of my sister's accomplishments on social media. My sister is currently working towards her BA in Psychology (I got a BS in Psychology), and all he does is gush over every single A she gets and any awards... He never did this when I was in college, and I'm fairly certain I didn't even get my graduation mentioned, since my sister graduated high school at the same time. He's always been like this when it comes to my sister. My mom recognized the blatant favoritism early on, and calls him out on it.
My mother congratulates me on the fact that, unlike my sister, I have had a job since my freshman year of high school and maintained good grades from high school through college. Unlike my sister, I worked full time and paid for all of my bills while in college. Unlike my sister, I have shouldered all of my student loans and never once asked my parents to co-sign a loan or pay for books. I completed my last year of college while pregnant, working 40 hours a week, and still maintained my grades.
It's just frustrating to see that my father glorifies my sister when she's had less stress and expectation placed on her. Yes, my experience is my experience and hers is hers, but I feel like I just can't win with my dad.
My dad and sister are both the youngest in the family, while my mom and I are both the oldest. That's probably one of the reasons why he favors my sister and why my mom so quickly recognized the favoritism.
FFFC: This week I have consumed the following - Raw milk Vermont cheddar Breakfast sausage links a medium rare burger from Umami burger (non-fast food, gourmet burger joint)
I brought lunch today and decided 5 minutes before I took my lunch break that I wasn't going to eat it.
Instead I got a cherry lemon sundrop from the gas station, grilled cheese from Steak 'n' Shake and fried from Popeyes. Then sat in my car and read the board! I call that a successful lunch break!
@NOLA520 My sister never did anything like that. She's always done well in school, never gotten into any major trouble, and hasn't caused too much drama. She's just the baby of the family, so everything gets handed to her. If I wanted a cell phone, it was expected that I get a job and pay for it myself. My sister got a phone about a year after I got mine (we're about 6 years apart in age), but was not asked to contribute to it financially. If I wanted something, I better be paying for it... If my sister wanted it, my parents paid for it. She's kind of a spoiled brat because of it. I'm not sure how her boyfriend puts up with her, because she's just like my dad in doing everything "my way or the highway." They fight sooooo much... DH and I will go to a separate space just to get away from their fighting during the holidays.
Okay so this is probably the weirdest confession ever, but I am dreading the 28 week vegetable which is an eggplant aka the spawn of Satan.
I have a serious eggplant phobia and I cannot be near it, look at it or hold it, specially if it has been cooked. They served eggplant at the hospital and I nearly had a complete meltdown.
So yeah, not looking forward to seeing an eggplant all week.

I wanted to make eggplant Parmesan last week, but the store didn't have any eggplants and I nearly had a meltdown. Eggplant is the only thing that could convince me to go meatless for more than a day.
I had grilled cheese and a milkshake for a lunch.. Then DH failed to feed me tonight (we were supposed to stop on the way to an event) so I hid in the car and ate my emergency Reese's stash. Sorry not sorry.
I literally cannot stand my dog most of the time, and it makes me feel like an awful, no good, terrible, very bad person. I wish I could rehome him without being sent to hell by all of my animal activist friends. DH and I's work schedules have shifted quite a bit in the last year and he just doesn't get enough attention because we are not home. I love the goober but I feel like a pet parent failure these days.
I'm home alone tonight while hubby is out at a work thing. I have plenty of things to eat in the fridge and pantry, some of which were purchased specifically for nights I'm eating alone and don't want to cook. Screw it, though... I just spent $20 ordering pizza delivery for one: medium pizza AND garlic parmesan breadsticks. And since husband hates Papa Johns and I would rather contract Ebola than eat leftover pizza, I'll either eat it all tonight no matter how much it hurts, or just throw the rest away. I'm not even ashamed.
I'm totally reading this board instead of packing... you know, because I need to move ALL of my stuff from this house to the new house in, like, 2 weeks
My fiancé put my salad in the fridge when I fell asleep on the couch... Now it's too cold to eat, and I'm eating his pizza instead. I'm also too tired to go to the kitchen to get it so I'm eating all of his pizza... Wtf is wrong with me??? Lol
Ok ... I have a bad confession. I'm pretty good about watching what I eat but the other day after fasting and having my labs done around 11am I left the hospital starving and ordered :
A large Big Mac meal A double cheeseburger A chicken sandwich And I ate every single bite in one sitting.
Pre Preggo (very paleo ) me would be shit talking and eye rolling the hell out of that decision.
Good news is that my glucose was 70 pre sugar drink and 68 post sugar drink so at least I don't have gestational diabetes.
Also @AmadorRose I also have stretchmsrks that have appeared. Mine are under my nips on both boobs. The boobs I paid good $$ for and had no visible scar on that turned out perfect.....I cried too. Also.... My chins name is Paula named after Paula Deen the butter queen. My pregnant ass has no name yet but should
@jonesl12 that amount of food is amazing and I'm a little jealous that you could eat that much without throwing up. I have not been able to get through my intended food today because large amounts of anything makes me nauseous. Also...oh.my.fucking.god. I am stealing your chin's name for my own because that is the most incredible thing I have ever heard. I think my ass's name is Mexico, because it's basically it's own country at this point and I blame it's existence on DH.
I would commiserate in your boobs, but I'm still like a B so I have no empathy.
ETA: just found stretch marks on my boobs. That's some fast karma!
I really don't care about football, superbowl, or even the superbowl commercials. Dh aunt has a big party, I think we are gonna skip this year. It's a 40 minute drive each way.
I'm sure it will lead to some grudge holding from dh cousin who is due a week before me . She holds grudges for not attending every family get together.
@NOLA520 I'm doing a classification lab with my students next week using Jelly Belly beans. I made the key to identify them yesterday. And now I want jelly beans bad. I'm buying the bulk bag from Sam's Club. I did the lab last year and I know a regular bag has plenty...
@NOLA520 and @imrachellea I'm in love with the red only bag of starburst jelly beans. Unfortunately they only carry them around here at Easter.
Confession: I'm finally on my last bag of them because I hoard a stash every year in my pantry. But let's face it, they should be arriving on store shelves soon...
And no DH you can't have any. Because I will stab you if you touch them.
They're in my desk at school now because DH doesn't understand that his life was in danger by eyeballing them.

I love Starburst jelly beans- they are really the only kind I will eat.
Good thing this isn't another BMB otherwise I might just get flamed for this confession since technically to be flame free it must be Friday so Saturday is totally flame worthy.....
Buuuutttttttt I have never been on Pinterest nor do I know what it actually is!

That's ok! It can be a major pain in the butt sometimes... Or it can steal your soul because you must pin all of the cool things. DH likes it for art references. I save a lot of DIY stuff, photography ideas, recipes that I actually use, and gift ideas to it.

Oh, that's easy. It's this site that ate my soul a few years ago and hasn't coughed it up since. I think my wallet is in there too, somewhere.
Ok posting here bc there's no "super sour Saturday (or Sunday)" thread and I don't feel like making a new one. It's 430 in the freaking morning. Why the FUCK am I awake? Actually, I know exactly why. Because after playing hostess to my husband's family all day while also juggling an emergency project for work (between cooking and driving and dishes and cleaning up after 10 people etc) DH and his best friend decided to stay up after everyone went to bed (which was already after midnight) and play this dumb video game and were SO loud. They were drinking beers like they were in college (after drinking since noon already) and I could hear their voices booming from the next floor down. I actually can't believe DHs parents didn't go down and tell them to shut up, they normally have no patience for that kind of crap. I did multiple times but they obviously had no concept of volume any more. So now I'm laying here wide awake (with heartburn of course) while DH drunkenly snores next to me (just came to bed 30 mins ago) and I'm fuming. I haven't fallen asleep at all tonight and I just want to throat punch him for being so rude. I get that tonight was his birthday celebration and I was a trooper as long as I could be but come on. This isn't college anymore and you are a grown ass 30 year old man with baby on the way time to grow up and know when it's time to turn in. Especially when you know I have felt particularly crappy and tired this week.
I promise things are not going to be pretty when he wakes up hungover next to an exhausted, pissed off, pregnant wife with no sympathy for his headache.
Ughhhh ok rant over.... Now to try and salvage some kind of sleep before the sun comes up...

And here I was pissed that I ate nachos for dinner and heartburn woke me up >.> Hope you get some much needed rest.
Thanks @Knottie9983816 ... Still up and pretty sure I just heard someone puking. Didn't realize my home was turning into a frat house this weekend... At least they made it to the bathroom.

I'm so sorry - but this must be in the water for our DH's.. I dealt with it Friday night, and had NO SYMPATHY yesterday for him feeling 'sick'. I very clearly reminded him that he did this to himself, and that there would be no taking care of him. Just be thankful the puking you heard was in the bathroom.. I was not nearly as lucky. Men! Are they trying for one last hurrah pre-baby??
@misstopsail ugh! Sorry you you had to deal with this crap too! I don't know what he was thinking but birthday or not, I'm pissed. He's still sleeping now while I try to entertain his family and go pick up bagels. He's going to have some serious making up to do...
@spatter1 Don't you have some heavy lifting projects this afternoon you need help with? Cleaning the blinds? Behind the oven? Those top shelves in the kitchen? Birthday or not, no excuse for being inconsiderate! Hope his family is hitting the road soon.

I thought she had mentioned some type of very loud activity...right next to the bedroom where he's sleeping...

Any toddlers in the family that could come wake him up? Preferably with a kazoo - there's nothing more obnoxious than a kazoo.
