FFFC 5/6

jomama1618

It's super early morning here in the eastern time zone, I know you ladies have them, so let's hear them.

I'm trying to come up with a confession, I swear. I opened this hours ago and I just can't think of anything to say.

Don't feel bad, I wrote it hours ago an not only had to re-write the top part a few times (way to much snark), but also ultimately decided to play it safe and not post my fc.

Welp, that's everybody's confession right there. We're all too afraid to post anything because bans are being handed out like candy from a white van in 1994.

It took me until the third tri before I figured out how to love tit anything or gif. I think I'm waiting until the home stretch before I work on a signature. Slow and steady wins the race, right?

The confession part is that I teach technology to adults at my company.....

My students haven't even arrived yet and I've already decided that this afternoon is going to be "turn off all the lights, lay on the floor, and read silently with tiny flashlights" time.

I bought a preemie onesie yesterday to carry in my purse. Just in case.

I am purposely skipping my iron supplement (glucose test was fine, but I was anemic) some days so I can take a satisfactory poop. I'm not about to suffer...I take it a few days, then skip a few..

My daughter was born at 40 weeks, 7.8 in weight, and preemie fit her for almost a month. It'll get some use unless you have a giant baby

Same. My midwife told me this was perfectly fine

kcossey528

@hannahmp can you take miralax? That stuff has saved my ass on numerous occasions..

my confession: I read a lot on our board, but don't post much because I'm kinda socially awkward in real life. The internet sometimes likes to amplify that. It takes me a looong time to formulate a response, and often time I won't hit post. Earlier this week I decided eff it, I'm going to start being more involved. Now people are getting banned, and everyone is afraid to play :-(.

FFFC: I don't understand when people nix a name just because it's popular. If you love a name, use it!

2nd FFFC: look at the fastest-rising names on the bottom of the article. Eww, just eww.

I so wish I could do this with my high school kids. 

My FFFC - I absolutely hate showering; pregnant or not.  I mean, I still do it obviously, but I do not find it relaxing in the least bit.

@quartz02 - totally wanna name my girl Zelda now. 

joleri23

@DeriveMyPi I hate showering too! It's a lot of work.

This may not be a confession to the masses but I confess that I drop the fact that I'm a nurse every time I'm in the ER/L&D/doctors appointments etc. Its never done anything but give me a little preferential treatment and made the conversations less awkward. I get annoyed being talked to like I don't understand things, and I'm all for people being extra nice to be especially when I'm pregnant.

DS's pre-k end-of-the-year program was on Tuesday. Before I even knew when it was, my mom had mentioned wanting to come down for it no matter what day/time it was. I knew that my step-father would want to come too, if he was off work and able to attend. After my dad's little tirade about if "he (my step-father) comes to the hospital when the baby's born, then I just won't bother to come. I'll just come down a week or two later for a visit", I just didn't even bother to tell my dad that the program even existed. I didn't feel like dealing with his crap, and listening to him rant and rave like a lunatic.

@hannahmp @MamaBish that makes me feel better! They told me I have to take it opposite of my prenatal so I'm always forgetting. And they make me feel sick. I am taking stool softners with them and haven't had a problem!

@quartz02

I just don't know what to say about those fastest rising names except make.it.stop.

victoria98

@PinkLady2015 Be careful! One day your daughter might bring home her new boyfriend, Huxley 

rakel88

I kinda like the name Brixton though.. 

My my confession is that my bff/personal training client had texted me at 4 am saying she was too hammered to make it to our session at 10, but I'm still gonna charge her for it cause 1. You make horrible decisions, and this is not a good excuse to miss a session, and 2. You texted me at 4 am. I'm pregnant, remember? 

ncm1919

Brixton is a town in the UK and is in the name of a Clash song. My friends named their dog that. 

That list of names is terrifying to me. Our country is illiterate. We might have Donald  Trump leading our illiterate masses. The world is ending. 

Katekay3

@rakel88 absolutely charge her! People are so stupid- can't you just lie and tell me your sick or something? Instead of making me feel like my time isn't valuable.

sboston06

My confession: my shower is a surprise but I still know when it is. I really think it's impossible to surprise me. I found out about my surprise bridal shower before it happened too

I'm also skipping my iron pill for now....I was nauseus/pukey for two days, which in turn prevented me from taking my MS meds, which made the nausea worse.  I'm just upping my iron rich foods for now.

@DeriveMyPi @joleri23

I love showering and would never get out if I didn't have to. But maybe it's the detachable massage shower head my husband bought for me...

joleri23

@stellaluna14 It doesn't help that my apartment is absolutely disgusting and so is the shower! Have you ever been in a shower that no matter how much you clean it, it never looks clean? Yeah... And we don't even have a bathtub. It's just nasty. Maybe I'll learn to enjoy showering again when I live somewhere nicer!

rakel88

@Natinat6 I love that song. I would never name my own kid that (I'm Icelandic anyway and will use an Icelandic name), and if I met someone who'd named their kid that, I'd probably immediately start singing "ohhhh the guns of Brixton" but I still like it.
and I agree on the end of the world Trump note.. Off to Iceland I go! 

PhoebeJune1984

@rakel88 I would totally charge her. It would have been one thing if she was waking up at 4am and was ill (not hungover or still drunk) and canceling because of that. But admitting that she was out all night, shows she doesn't respect your time. She just cancelled a spot that someone else could have taken, for stupid reasons, and that is your job.....so its not like you are doing sessions for her for a favor.

Pretending to care that my husband has a cold is exhausting.

Cosmic+Love

It's my sister's birthday. I feel that is reason enough to buy myself a cake.

PhoebeJune1984

*I have a pretty high tolerance of pain, but my GD lancet needle just went in at an angle....and holy hell.....that hurt! My finger is still throbbing! 

*I am suppose to go out tonight to meet up with a group of friends, while one friend is in town. While I really want to see her, and have some girl time with the ladies, I think that I am going to bail. We have to leave to go out of town super early, and they are meeting at 7pm in the city. Which means I have to fight with traffic, after working a 10 hour day, when I am already exhausted.....hunt for parking, walk several blocks, its at a super busy restaurant so the table wait is going to be forever. My kid needs a bath, my dog needs a bath, we haven't packed, and the whole thing just sounds exhausting to me. So I am going to say that my boss is making me work late. 

Kellyj103

My FFFC is this:
my obnoxious neighbor (I've posted about her before) keeps asks me when we can hang out. I've been more than clear to her I have no interest and I'm too busy so she texts me, "you're busy until when?" and I answer, "Indefinitely". My husband has been making fun of me saying I'm so mean, but is it really mean? Just keeping it real.

Also, not a fan of people who are nice to my face but talk smack behind my back. I don't and will never trust you.

HoneyBear40

Here we go. My first UO yesterday and my I'm pretty sure my first FFFC today...
TMI but I've never been a "front to back" wiper. When using the bathroom I've always wiped back to front but I'm starting to find all ways impossible around this growing bump!

elenabrent

@HoneyBear40 are you a life long getter of UTIs?

adough27

Also skipping the iron supplements, I have always had GI problems and further slowing down my system will make it really painful. My body does not respond well to stool softeners either.

KASG

I get excited to go the OBGYN.

Boring, I know, but that's all I got today. I'm tired and achy, overwhelmed, stressed, it's ugly outside...the list goes on

ETA "and achy"

Those 'fastest rising' names all sound like names of characters in like a sci fi or futuristic novel. I'm too old school for those names. My nurse even said my kid's name is old school... Peter is still in pretty decent circulation, right? Oh well.

I'm anemic so I have to take 66mg a day. These are amazing and I can't recommend them enough! Zero constipation issues. I order them on Amazon. My local health food store carries them as well. hannahmp

I know that just because something works for me doesn't mean it will work for anyone else, but I've somehow conquered the contispation (knock on wood) by eating blackberries, chia, and drinking an enormous amount of water a day. Just another suggestion of something to try!

They do sound like they are sci fi or futuristic novel names. Well, except Taya. That is my mom's name, and she has like 4 or 5 kids names after her (who are all in the teens/20's by now).
