Flame Free Friday Confession, but let's be honest this is rarely flame free! Share away!

Meh.

I just puked for the first time (STM 22 weeks)... wtf?!? I think I didn't eat enough before taking my prenatal and having a little hot tea for this headache. My eyes are so bloodshot. I look high. Props to all you ladies that have to deal with this on an ongoing basis.

erin7264

I have forgotten to take my prenatal like 6 out of the last 10 days...thats about all I got.

I'm "working from home" today... What this really means is that I'm checking my computer every once and awhile and focusing more on housework (laundry, dishes, sweeping, vacuuming, etc.), napping, and being a bum. I just can't adult today.

LDSJM123

I ordered 7, yes 7 boxes of Girl Scout cookies. They have been sitting on my passenger seat for a week and they make the perfect driving snack. Bonus points because I don't have to share them with my husband or daughter. I have no shame.

My anatomy scan is Monday. I have to keep reminding myself that it's not just about boy or girl, but the overall health of the baby because -- I confess -- if it's a boy, I may be a little disappointed. Not "end-of-the-world, I-won't-love-this-baby" disappointed; just like "I wanted chocolate and they only have vanilla today" disappointed.

...But last night's episode of HTGAWM really put things in perspective!!! Whew!

noelietrex

I'm in hella b!tch mode today. I drove the speed limit in the left lane all the way to work because I could see it was pissing off the person behind me and I felt like they deserved it and enjoyed watching them wave and squirm. DH was sad this morning which pissed me off because I feel like he doesn't have the right to be moody right now! Only I get to be moody! I'm a GD planet and he gets to be his normal self- no b!tching allowed! Also I sent him mean texts about his mom being a twat. He agrees and she is, but his apologetic responses were pretty sad. I'm being an a$$hole... Also I drank an entire pot of coffee this morning and Seamonkey is kicking like mad and bouncing off the walls. And I haven't taken a prenatal since we got pregnant (though I loaded up while TTC). They all make me vomit. All the brands. Food based, plant based, gummies, with food, without food- always make me barf. Midwife said better to eat food and not barf so I am unapologetically not taking any prenatals- doctors orders! The indian call center guy from my insurance can suck it. I hope he calls today. I'm going to tell him that.

*edit to clarify- okay well I haven't kept a prenatal down since we got pregnant... Obviously they went in to find out about the barfing

So last week I wasn't feeling the greatest and we were very busy. I needed to do dishes badly but didn't get around to buying soap for the dishwasher nor did I feel like hand washing. I forgot that my dad was coming over to drop something off and I was embarrassed about the dishes. 

I hid the dishes in the stove before he got there.

KASG

@MamaBish I sooooooo feel you on this! DH keeps bothering me about the dishes and I'm like...you could put them in the dishwasher/take them out too you know. Just because I'm not physically going to a second job doesn't mean I'm not working! I'm building a human here!!!

john5111

I confess even though I thought it was another boy I am still a little heart broken were having another boy.  (we found out Monday) Healthy is totally the most important thing but deep down Im still bummed; always wanted a girl to bond with too. 

megstervt

The idea of being pregnant really weirds me out (like two things from different people morph together and cells divide until you eventually have a tiny baby...WTF?!) and I don't enjoy feeling the baby kicks as it really creeps me out (there is LITERALLY another PERSON inside of me moving enough that I can feel.  That is not my own body making those sensations).  The baby kicks reassure me so I like them in that sense, but when I stop and really think about what it is I'm feeling I get creeped out.  I swear I will love this tiny human to death once he's outside of my body though!

mandyjulie

@KASG last night's ep of HTGAWM was fucking awful for any pregnant woman to watch. I mean, I knew something bad was going to happen, why the hell did I watch it right before bed? I'm shocked I didn't have awful dreams.

KASG

@mandyjulie DH said the same thing! I mean, we knew all along SOMETHING terrible was up but DAMN! (and I don't use profanity so...) My eyes watered...which NEVER happens. 

Kellyj103

@mandyjulie oh no!!!! I haven't watched this week's episode but I had a feeling something bad was going to happen.

My FFFC: I slept for over 9 hours last night and I'm still tired and contemplating going home early even though yesterday I "worked from home".  

randypluskate

I can't stop drinking Crystal Light and I may or may not have gone through about a box a day, every day, for the past week.

TiffRox81

My FFFC, lame as it may be.....I think those "family member" stickers people put on the back of their cars are weird and cheesy. What is the point of them?!? All I can think when I see those is, I bet you think you have the PERFECT life. So much so that you want everyone to know exactly what you're towing around in your minivan and who's living in your white picket fence suburban home. I'm also certain I have a few Facebook friends that are a step away from creating their families on the back of their cars judging by all their "Look at me!" posts. Ridiculous!!

Y0urm0m

DH has been using my lanolin for his nips....

hahaha, he's been working out and they are starting to get irritated, sore, and cracked. Now he can't live without it.

Even though we saw right between the legs at the anatomy scan and are both pretty positive that its a girl, we have been lying to everyone and acting like we saw nothing. Both sides of our family (and a lot of our friends) are super excited that we are Team Green again, and we were bummed it was kind of ruined for us...so we aren't saying anything and letting them still be surprised. DD is dying for a sister, and we refuse to say anything to her. Not because of fear that she would tell everyone else, but because if (although extremely slim that it would turn out this way) it ended up being a boy, she was be disappointed. Yesterday, my mom watched her and while they were visiting my grandma, DD said "I went to the doctors appointment. I know what it is...." and my mom and grandma said "What?" because they were both shocked that we found out (not realizing a four year old would take that "What?" as "What is it?", instead of "What? I thought they weren't finding out?!")....and DD answered with "A lizard!" (she thinks it looks like a lizard). 

Everyone is guessing that it is going to be a boy this time. I am pretty sure they are just saying that, because of the fact that we already have a girl and there is the whole weird thing where people feel that families aren't "complete" unless they have one of each sex. 

Weville

I was supposed to start work at noon but have a killer headache so I called and said I'd be an hour late. It's now after one and I just woke up from an impromptu nap.  Guess  I'm going to be even later

jolydan

@megstervt I didn't know where I was standing regarding the baby moving inside of me. But today I was laying and notice my first belly movement from the outside. I could literally see the kicks and I was totally freaked out!!!

mckcak23

I'm kinda pissed that no one told me how weird it would be when the baby kicks while I'm pooping. Normally I find the kicks cute and fun, those are just weird and awkward for both of us. 

fleurdelakeview

My appointment is at 1pm, we have to leave at 12:30, it's 12:22 and my damn husband will not get out of bed. I'm fantasizing about kicking him in the balls.  

oneliloaktree13

If you see me at my desk, glasses up, leaned back in my hair with my eyes closed, what exactly do you think I'm doing? I'm taking a nap douchecanoe. So yeah, when you ask me if I'm taking a nap I'm going to respond with, "I would be if people would stop asking me if I was taking a nap." Oh and I heard you asshat asking another employee what my issue was. Whisper more quietly so I can continue sleeping. God, I'm about to go GTA on someone at my job.

I totally have board member favorites - and not so favorites..

This reminded me of Bilbo's speech in the first LOTR movie.
"I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve."

secondary confession: even though the tech said it was a girl, I still feel like it might be a boy. Meh.

When your baby is head down, and gets the hiccups....now THAT is awkward. Each hiccup, his/her head hits your cervix and it pretty much vibrates down your vag. 

elenabrent

The bigger I get and the more my belly button resists moving (and thus the flatter my bump gets in the front), the weirder I feel about the whole thing. I am SUPER embarrassed that I care so much about the shape of my midsection, but, alas, it's bugging me.

Confess them woman, you came to the right place.

HMcDade1

My face yesterday when the U/S tech told me that baby is breech and needs to hurry up and flip over. Excuse me what, I'm 23 weeks not 33. Nonsense fear tactics lady. My FFFC: I wanted to tell her to STFU. 

SparkySunshine

Usually I ignore "sex disappointment" posts,mostly because no matter what I say the person will "validate" their feelings and and never see it for what it is. 
However, in light of a certain memeber (I will not tag because she's taking a bump break and doesn't need to see this BS) finding out at her anatomy scan that her child will likely not live more than 10 days after it is born has made me even extra ragey that ANYONE can be "upset" or "disappointed" that their child has or doesn't have a damn penis. Get over it, have a child because you want a child, not because of some stupid fantasy about your "perfect family"
Summary of my confession: I judge the $hit out of anyone that says they have "sex disappointment"

I love tited this and then got really scared that I would get called out as a not so fave. I almost tried to unlove it just to stay under the radar. 

Then I commented to draw more attention to myself... Maybe I deserve to be a not so fave.

Ok really I just want you to profess your love for me

PhoebeJune1984

@elenabrent Mine is currently the same way. And it wasn't like that with my first pregnancy, so I am totally self conscious about it. It looks like I ran into a wall with the front of my belly. So I cannot wait until it is more rounded....

This, all of this.

DH and I are going away for the weekend. I could carry-on but am considering paying the approx. $80-$90 to check just so I can bring my snoogle.

Zero shame in my sleep game.

TM14

Ran out of testing strips because my pharmacy sucks so today I'm cheating on my diet. What the doctor doesn't know won't hurt right?

Y0urm0m

I have a horrible FFFC, maybe pregnancy brain at its finest.

i was driving DS to daycare today and i was stopped at a red light a block away. DS keeps saying "mama mama look." I turned around and DS is standing up, leaning over the middle console with a banana in his hand. I forgot to buckle him in!

Every time I see these on cars now, I just think of John Lithgow as the Trinity Killer in Dexter.

I'm sorry this gave me a good laugh.
