@givemepenguinss I hate the word "hubby" too! It sounds like something you'd say to insult your husband.
My FFFC: My good friend says the best way to practice swaddling is to swaddle a cat. She did it over and over before her son was born. I'm embarrassed to admit that this sounds hilarious. A little mean, but hilarious.
@Lindsayleigh1989I know it sounds annoying, but if you enjoy going to Target, you'll be happy you went once you're there. I went Wednesday morning after it stopped snowing here, and there were like 4 other people in the entire store. I felt like I had the place to myself! I don't know what it is about that place, but I prefer it to pretty much any other store.
Here is me fffc : according the pharmacist I am risking the health of my baby
Sorry if it's jumbled I'm sobbing writing this. Didn't make it to target made it cub foods across the street it's -4 out, and I so regret it. I went to the pharmacy and mentioned my dr/nurse suggested I get Sudafed since congestion is making it hard to keep anything down or get rest since I can't breathe.
She then asked after she got the med are you pregnant? I said yes and she goes "um I'm not sure this is safe for you say Kate is this okay for pregnant women?" Kate sighs and comes over sees the Sudafed and says "no it's not"
So I tell her and show her my list of medicines safe for pregnancy and say I was told and show her where it says it's safe for 2nd and 3rd trimester. Kate says huffy "well it is a very iffy drug but I guess some dr's reccomend it" I asked her if there was anything else "safe" that could help as much and she admitted there wasn't. Since my list said it was safe I still purchased it as they actually silently had me do it... And whispered and stared at me as I walked away.
All of the tears right now... I don't want to be a bad mom I just want to feel better
I suck at eating healthy. I was just faced with the decision of apples/grapes or a chocolate turtle bundt cake. Didn't even hesitate to go for the bundt cake. And my mom is bringing whataburger. Told my husband he is gonna have to start smashing up veggies and sneaking them into my food or a chocolate smoothie. Also, I love hotdogs. The movie theater or stadium kind. I got mad at my husband bc he bought all the hotdog supplies but forgot the the actual hot dogs!
@Lindsayleigh1989 it's a category C drug but I don't think your doctor would ok something that would but your baby in harms way. I'm sure the benefits outweigh the risks. It's pretty shitty of them to make you feel bad for just trying to feel better though.
@lindsayleigh1989 That is horrible! you should file a complaint! My doctor actually said it was okay for me to take Sudafed - even during first trimester. And the one doctor i saw at an urgent place said the same thing. I felt horrible after i saw so many people here that said not to use it, but if two different doctors said it was okay, and people used to do WAY worse things during pregnancy, i figured i'm okay. Also, I'm on some "category c" or whatever medicine for my asthma and allergies, and my doctor does not seem worried. My asthma medicine has steriods in it too i believe.
It's hard and dont worry, you are a great mom already! You care for the baby so much, and love it already, thats what it needs. And it needs mommy feeling better too! They always say that it is always better for the mom to be feeling okay that way they can give the best care possible!

@Lindsayleigh1989 I have previously been told that sudafed is safe while pregnant as well. As PP mentioned, your doctor has more training and is more familiar with your specific circumstances and wouldn't recommend something that is going to harm you. That pharmacist exhibited extremely poor patient care and customer service treating you that way. If I were you that would definitely be my last time going there.
@Lindsayleigh1989 I am sorry that there were bitches who decided that they know better than you and made you feel like a bad mother. Don't let anyone get you down about this, especially if your doctor approved it!
Feel better and I hope you file a complaint about them
I only added like 9 of the Instagram mamas. If I didn't recognize you, I didn't add you. I have no interest in following people who don't contribute to this site but always seems to pop up for HDBD and Instagram threads

Sort of OT, but can someone explain to me the point of being on Instagram? Please? I feel like an old fogey.
AHAHAHA @Y0urm0m People did seem to come out of the woodwork for that post!
Mine is....if I wake up and notice I can make my face/hair look presentable, I skip the shower to take advantage of more sleep. I will say, I only do this if the shower happened the day before. I don't feel guilty for letting a day go by though. My husband thinks it's disgusting, but that's coming from the man that showers twice a day, minimum.
Second, provided all goes well at the 20 week ultrasound, I plan to steal someone's super creative travel theme announcement picture idea. If it's any of you reading this....hope you don't mind!
I fully plan on letting my nanny kids watch movies all.day.long. I took a Unisom for the first time last night because I am having issues sleeping, and I still feel like I am drugged. When I had the tv off this morning, they were both losing their cool and fighting, their little neighborhood just had its play structure torn down, so we are stuck in the condo. I just cannot deal today. So tv it is.
@PhoebeJune1984 did I miss your update on how it went telling your bosses? I remember you were worried about how your lady boss would react, right?
Oh oh oh! I forgot to update. I figured that I would just tell whatever parent came home that evening, since they are rarely both together. She was shocked, but I think that she took it a little better than it could have been, as I reminded her that her babysitter is wanting to work with kids and graduates the week before, and she might want to take over. Sure enough, the girl wants to try her hand at being their nanny (HAHA.....poor sucker!). My boss told her husband, and the next day he mentioned the pregnancy, but she left out ALL other details of the conversation, so then I pretty much had to do it over again. I told them on a Friday, so that way if it went bad, then she would have two days to vent before I came back to work on Monday. The best part was that she looked a little bit like she was going to cry, but I left there and text our mutual friend and said "She looked like she was going to cry, but I guarantee she will be right back to being a b*tch come Monday..." and sure enough, she was right back to her demanding, snotty, "I need to control everything under the sun" way by Monday. Oh, and she suggested that once I am done working, we will have to get together for playdates with the kids. HAHAHAHA!
However....I have less than 85 days left of work. Light at the end of the tunnel! WHOOP WHOOP!
ETA: That is spread out from now until June, so it will be a long couple of months instead of getting them done one right after another, but at least I will be done soon!
2) I hate sausage. DH is the director of R and D for a company that makes sausage so we always have some and I never eat it.
3) today I went back to work after being dismissed from jury duty so I wouldn't have to spend the day/evening with MIL. I won't get home until midnight, but that's better than trying to parent my daughter while she's there.
My FFFC is that I'm really pissed at DH about my whole dog dying situation. While it was an accident, it was avoidable and completely his fault and (this might make me sound like a bitch) but he doesn't feel bad enough about it.
Also, frozen pizza for dinner because adulting is hard.
I hate when grown women do not wear bras in public. This goes double if you have big boobs. If I can see your nips you need to fix that ish. Yesterday a parent came to pick up her kid, with no bra on, at three in the afternoon. She also rubbed my blump which was really disturbing, I feel like her nipple may have brushed me as well...ew.
nope nope nope. I don't wear bras. Hate every second of them. They're uncomfortable, i have small tits so don't need them and I refuse to wear them. They're nipples, I has them, don't look if you don't wanna see 'em.

You in no way sound like a bitch! You have very righteous anger and he needs to be groveling and showing way more remorse in my opinion
@Lindsayleigh1989 I'm sorry you were treated that way! What bitches! In the fall before pregnancy I was in an accident and was prescribed some pain meds. We got to the pharmacy 15 minutes before they closed and this stupid bitch pharmacist refused to help me, proclaiming she was exhausted and couldn't handle another possible thing. Another pharmacist had to come over and do her job so I could get the medicine my doctor told me I had to take that night. Every time I go to the pharmacy I mean mug her and wonder how she still has her job.
@elenabrent hotdogs with mustard are awesome. Especially with pickles and onions.
I really like gas station hot dogs, or at the stadium but making them at home is not the same and I really want one now...I know it's gross but they taste so good.
Once on a ski trip in Colorado (read: unfamiliar area) I made my husband drive around to five different gas stations until we found one that had hot dogs. Best hot dog I've ever had.
My FFFC is probably super mild, but I am so excited about this blizzard. I know a ton of people are freaking out, and I do feel really badly for doctors/nurses/policemen/anyone who has to be out in it. I can't wait to snuggle up on the couch, empty the DVR, drink hot chocolate and watch the snow fall. Also, we were supposed to go to BIL and SIL's house on Sunday and now have an amazing excuse to NOT make that hour long drive!
I hate people who freak out about every little thing. After experiencing losses I completely understand that pregnancy is a scary thing and living in the unknown is terrifying but it's annoying when they get on here to post about every little thing. "Omg I'm 4 weeks and have NO symptoms is my baby ok?!" "My doctor says this is fine but I googled it and it's not fine!" "I have gas is my baby ok?!" Seriously it makes me ragey and I want to slap them until they can behave like rational adults.
Also when they ble pregnacy hormones for EVERYTHING. I'm all for pulling a pregnacy card when I want French fries but when I have to hear someone talk about pregnancy all day long (looking at you lady at work) it drives me nuts!!! "Oh you need to give up your seat for me because I'm 9 weeks pregnant." No bitch. I will not move.

I probably wouldn't notice. My issue is when their large and floppy. Gravity is real.
