Flame free Friday confessions! Not always flame free.

So I was going to post that I think Archer is hot (yeah, the cartoon character), but then one quick Google image search informed me that there's a world of Archer fan porn. I was not prepared for that at 7:30 in the morning! Or ever, really.

I eat meat on Fridays. All year round. Especially bacon.

I totally POAS this morning because I realized I can actually touch my boobs without cursing humanity.  Then crazypants took over and insisted on using a test to pee on.  And when I saw the line, I alternately *sighed* with relief and said "it's not THAT dark, oh noez".  Then I mentally slapped myself, looked in the mirror and said "who are you!!?!?" and chalked it up to being a weirdo.

The end.

I just ate pizza while reading the entire UO thread from yesterday. I agree, this board is tame so far. But I like it!

rspalding001

I've had a head cold the last 4 days and totally used it as an excuse to not have sex with The hubs. Wondering how long I can stretch this one out since I totally don't feel like having sex these days.

I use the iPad to make my (almost) 2 year old behave. Grocery shopping, out to eat, car rides. It's always packed away in my arsenal. When in doubt, I whip it out.

@kns1988 FFFC is my weekly thread post. I'll let is slide this time


I definitely fell asleep briefly while watching Batman V Superman last night.  Not because it was a bad movie (it was actually really good and I enjoyed) but because pregnancy.  I'm like a little old lady.

We went to a theater last night that serves your meal at your seat while you watch the movie...I was more excited about the food than the movie.

Oh, sorry! I thought the weekly threads were just started by whoever posted it first.  

ShallowSeas

We signed up/volunteered for certain ones in the Board Organization post  There are still plenty to sign up for! @kns1988

Another FFFC: I've never read the board organization post. I've been here since February so I never felt like a newb, and I thought it was just for newbs. Oops

My FFFC... I HATE Cadbury cream eggs. The stuff in the middle grosses me out!

EmmieAnn22

That's fine @HeyBooHey.  More Cadbury eggs for me!  

m6agua

I guess to me, I think it's fine for whoever to post the daily threads. I'm my mind the signing up was just so we don't forget about them, but if someone beats you to it no biggy.

My FFFC, I have probably ate too many servings of fish/seafood this week. It just tastes so yummy. I had sushi, then pasta with shrimp, then a crab/lobster ravioli and we are thinking about going to Friday fish fry tonight.

A crab lobster ravioli sounds amazing.

FFFC: I think I look sooooo much better with more meat on my bones. When I met DH, I was 140 and pretty thin. But the only way my body got to be like that was from running 3 miles 5-6 days a week and eating zero carbs/processed foods. I got fatter and happy and fell in love and I think I look way better at my current weight of 180. 

What at an awesome revelation to have. I was just meant to be thicker I suppose. 

MissAmeliaPond

@HeyBooHey have you had Cadbury caramel eggs? Those are wonderful. I don't eat the creme eggs either.

Today I confess that I haven't been able to make it to work on time once this week. Clocking in at 8:39 every day. Oh wells! #sorrynotsorry

TrulyBlessed22

I don't wash my hair every day or every other day or every two days etc.  I wash it about once a week.  I'm Latina and my hair is DRY so washing it too often would strip it of the very little oil it creates.  No amount of conditioner would make up for the damage that would come from washing daily.

I haven't had sex since I found out I was pregnant. The nausea is so strong, I can't even fathom getting busy. I don't think we've ever gone this long (4 weeks) and we've been together 11 years. I miss him so much, but I just can't even deal yet. 

When you have been with someone that long you can definitely notice a crack there if you haven't slept together for a while. Makes me sad because he's truly been amazing and deserves all the sexxing. 

TrulyBlessed22

@HomeyDontPlayThat I hear you...I'm not nauseous but a lot of time some stomach just doesn't feel right and then to boot I'm super tired come bedtime.  Soooo, we just started having sex first thing in the AM before DD gets up.  It's not the most intimate (no kissing) but it gets the job done because I took was feeling bad.  It's not often but it's more than we have been since the BFP

With th our first we went through the same thing and went to morning and afternoon sex (when possible) and then finally went back to normal once things "settled down"

loko08

@HomeyDontPlayThat I am right there with you. We have opposite schedules, so it can be tough anyways, but we haven't since the BFP. I am just nauseous all.the.time. 

We're both hoping the nausea and vomiting go away quickly. I'll be making it up as soon as I can.

You go girl!!

My FFFC along these lines:  I've always struggled to put on weight and people often feel free to comment on it and offer their advice.  I'm *really* looking forward to gaining weight with this pregnancy and filling out my figure.

TrulyBlessed22

@virginiaham This!  People are sooooo quick to skinny shame not realizing that for some of us it's not a choice to be extra skinny.  I loved my post pregnancy weight (minus the belly lol) and was bummed when I lost it all. My goal this time is to try my best to keep it on while trying to get back to being toned.

g8rmama_16

@MissAmeliaPond it's just too much. Both kinds are just too much for me! When I was a kid my mom would put one in our easter basket. I would always take one bite and save the rest for later because I just couldnt handle it. Sometime in July I would find the old egg in my desk drawer or nightstand and have to throw it out.

@homeydontplaythat I have only had sex once since my BFP and it was super uncomfortable. I am waiting until after my ultrasound on Tuesday before I try and initiate anything.

Another FFFC: Since I got my BFP I have been lurking my old BMB (May16, I had a loss in Nov15). I probably shouldn't do that.

AmandaR417

My FFFC: I'm actually kinda happy that this m/s has caused me to lose weight. Once my doc told me that as long as I didn't drop more than 10-15% of my pre-pregnancy weight during my first tri,  I started seeing as almost a silver lining to the whole feeling like crap 24/7 thing.

Me too for both of these! 

DH kept bonking into my cervix and it felt really weird. Then I spotted after and decided no more sex til I see my midwife next week.

Also, I've totally been lurking September 16 since my BFP. I did it a couple times after my loss and it made me so sad. Now it makes me sad and also happy for all of them. Still probably not a good idea though.

I pretended I couldn't hear the baby crying this morning so DH would get up with her.

@HomeyDontPlayThat
Sorry your nausea is so bad.  I kind of get where you're coming from.  H and I didn't have sex for 3 weeks when I first found out I was pregnant because I felt AWFUL. It was a sad time. We have a pretty active sex life and 3 weeks was the longest we went without. I miss the sex itself, but what I missed the most was just being intimate.  We've only had sex 2 times since my bfp. I'm just now to the point that I think I'll be able to do it more.  The first time was super uncomfortable because I was bloated and that's all I focused on.  The second was much better and almost felt like 'normal' sex.  I've noticed that being on top is more comfortable because I have complete control of how deep and how fast things get.  It calms my anxiety to know I have that control.

I'm eating desert because it makes me feel more pregnant. Without any nausea, m/s or cravings, I just feel incredibly sober these days. 

Hedgessm

At 7 weeks I'm ready for my maternity clothes. The bloat is outrageous and even the belly band feels uncomfortable. 

Also, I am super jealous of you ladies not puking or the ones who don't even realize their pregnant for a few weeks. I've been puking since 4.5 weeks. So screw all of you and your ability to keep food down!!!! 

mtvkv5

Just ordered a Mac n Cheese pizza for lunch... Even though DH is pushing me to eat healthier. Don't even feel guilty!

lajoliedreamer

Am I the only one who has had an increased libido since being pregnant? We're not necessarily having more sex, but there is definitely more touching and sexual innuendos when we're doing everyday things like getting ready for work and making dinner.

Also, I am jealous of you women who have morning sickness. Though light pregnancy symptoms runs in my family, after my loss a few months ago I would rather have the symptoms and know that everything is okay. I had some nausea yesterday and it was a relief, despite the discomfort. 

mtvkv5

@lajoliedreamer I am the same, my libido this week has been through the roof. DH doesn't mind.  

pinnerk

Well after reading everyone else's mines probably the meanest. But first a reason for it - my sleeping has been horrible since I was always taking zzzquil in order to sleep but stopped right after BFP. 
So my BF was snoring away and before, with the sleeping pills, I could sleep thru it. 
But now I'm much more sensitive to sound. 
So I usually just rub his chest and his arm and occasionally I'll nudge him so he rolls over. 
At 3am I went straight bitch. I grabbed and pulled his chest hair and when he woke.up I fake slept. 
I actually felt really guilty. 
Oh and I'm also not packing for the trip we leave for in a few hours. I'll get.to it.

Me too! I had slight nausea at 4 weeks, then 5 weeks it was gone. Today I'm 5+4 and I have a little nausea. I just want it all the time so it is reassuring.

Confession: I'm kinda ashamed of how much of my excitement for this pregnancy is wrapped up in the pride of having a baby before any of my friends, sisters, or ex-boyfriends...

ShallowSeas

I haven't done kegal exercises since i've been pregnant, but all my apps like to yell at me about it.  Whoops.

My 2yo DD's favorite show is Bob's burgers. Yes, I know how highly inappropriate it is. No, I don't care.
ETA:

beforeyou

@rooftop that's ok, my favorite show until I was about 4 (and my parents made me stop watching) was The Simpsons. My 2nd birthday was Simpsons themed. 

My FFFC: the amount of times I say "are you a fucking idiot?" under my breath at work is astounding.

Also I'm sitting here hoping DH will put DD down for her nap if I ignore the craziness long enough. Normally she nurses to sleep at naptime but my nipples are so sore since getting KU
