Losing patience with DD because she is getting into EVERYTHING lately. Entirely age appropiate for a 1 year old of course, but I have zero energy for keeping up with her right now and, geez Louise, how on earth am I going to keep up with her when she's not the only kid anymore?
@mommywesley, looking at you with oodles of adoration right now since you manage to keep up with 4 boys!

As a FTM who has no idea what she's getting into, I can't say enough how much respect I have for all you STMs with really young LOs! Pregnancy is so rough without having to keep up with feisty little troublemakers, I have no idea how y'all do it
I can't remember the last time I cooked a full meal for my family. We have been eating out and eating frozen meals WAY to much! I grew up eating like that and I hated it so I always want to cook for my family... Except for right now. This evening sickness has killed me. And as 2nd tri approaches I am trying to hang onto any shred of light that says it may be over soon (but my gut tells me it's not going anywhere anytime soon).
My work hired a GD MUPPET for the front desk and I'm embarrassed. I work in a good ol' boy field and I know my customers will be relentless, this chick's voice is just..... I thought it was a joke! And this is the new face of our company, answering phones etc. Also I don't have an office door to shut when my f%#£ing ears start bleeding sooooo ::bashing head on desk::
** this is a confession because I'm so against policing women's voices, it's such patriarchal bullshit, but I really truly thought she was joking when I first heard her. It's SO bad. Also I'm just gonna say hormones. I don't like that excuse but hot damn I'm mad at the world this week.
My FFFC: Everyone talks about how wonderful second tri sex is supposed to be and how you'll have a resurgence of sex drive, but I'm just really not into it. It just feels weird and uncomfortable. And then it burns for a few hours afterwards because everything is so sensitive. And I know it's not going to get any better as time goes on and I feel so bad about it.
@moosette113 I'm "working" from home today and spent the morning calling and emailing daycares (and a pregnancy yoga place). And took a 90 minute nap this afternoon... Whoops
And @canavara same boat here. The desire has not returned at all and when we do it I'm just feeling meh and uncomfortable.
Everyone at work is finding out now I'm pregnant and I LOVE the attention. Normally I hate being the center of attention, but this is so much fun! People bring me leftover food from meetings, carry heavy boxes for me, and ask about the baby. It's awesome!
@canavara I hate pregnancy sex. I know I should love it and the doctor said I should keep trying, but it's so awkward. I worry about the baby and if I stop thinking about the baby, my growing bump gets in the way and makes it weird. However solo sex has been awesome. ... don't tell DH.
@LastMango I hear ya! I'm glad it's summertime, because I can order a glass of white wine and my husband will drink half of it. He hates red wine, though, so I won't be able to do that once fall rolls around. Not to mention I won't feel comfortable doing that once I'm showing.
My confession is that I am secretly so pleased by the amount of IL venting that happened on the Monday Bitchfest. I obviously wish we all got along swimmingly with in-laws, but it made me feel such a sense of solidarity!!
I drank a small glass of wine last night. It. Was. Heaven.
I was just thinking about how much I've been missing wine recently. I oddly enough didn't miss it at all during first tri (which shocked me lol). And now all of a sudden I am very aware of its absence from my life!

Haha I love hearing about everyone's terrible in laws, but it makes me feel a wee bit left out...my in laws are amazingly awesome! Like better than my own family (probably because my family is in a different province and they are here 13 seconds down the road) My MIL is the greatest mom ever...my mom died when I was 12 so I don't have much experience with maternal figures but she's pretty awesome!
But it keep the crazy stories coming! Every night before bed I check the Monday feed for some good stories to put me to sleep haha

Ha same here. I don't have the nerve to admit that going solo is still awesome in fear of stirring bad feelings!
I had a pizza with goat cheese on it for dinner the other night and it was amazing!! I could've eaten the whole package of cheese by myself. With my first pregnancy I would've never eaten goat cheese, I was so worried about that, and lunch meat, and everything else they warn about. This time around in a bit more relaxed about what I eat.
@nolemomma14 Ditto! Last time I was so careful about every single thing I ate. This time I am avoiding alcohol and that's really about it. This is a foretaste of second child syndrome I bet.
Yesterday... I had a chimichanga for breakfast, Italian sub dipped in ranch for lunch, and Chinese for dinner... And every bite I took, I secretly was wishing it was pizza.... Why is pizza so good right now? WHY?
My MS was going away, but it has come back with revenge the last week... wut..
@HJ.Morgan I had a Pizza Hut personal pan pizza for lunch yesterday. I seriously relished every bite and could not believe how good it tasted. My pizza loving 3 year old said it was "yuck". Go figure. Lol but I was secretly happy because that meant I could eat the whole thing lol
My fffc is I can't stand where I work and I am seriously considering not going back after baby. I am up for a promotion and my supervisor just made me swear I was coming back after baby. The truth is I don't really know!
@HJ.Morgan I totally had pizza for breakfast and lunch yesterday. Not even good pizza. Frozen microwave pizza. It's all just so good.
My FFFC: We had some party guests at DD 1st birthday on Saturday that had this gross cough. They stayed 4 hours after the party was over (which is a whole other problem!) and now DD and DH have the cough. And as bad as I feel for my DD I am so mad DH caught it because I can sense my entire weekend becoming listening to him complain that he's dyinggggggg. Anytime he gets sick I literally just walk around wanting to punch him in the face. SO whiny.
@katesmama0706 I feel your pain! I hate when husband is sick because he gets so whiny, too! It's so bad that I don't even feel sorry for him that he's sick, I just get mad and irritated because he acts like he's dying.
Another FFC is I'm the only teacher that hates summer. I can not stand the heat and I don't want to leave the house. I cannot wait for Fall even if that means going back to work.
@katesmama0706 and @jlea05 I dread the man cold/sickness, it's the worst. Every time DH gets sick I wish it was me the got sick instead just so I wouldn't have to deal with the whining, woe-is-me attitude.
@ashanne88 it's worse when you have it at the same time. Then you're like "excuse me, I am getting up and getting on with life. Please follow suit" and they're like "omg I'm dyinggggg and everything is horrible" I dread that scenario anytime I start to feel like I'm catching something.

My DD is almost 21 months and we are still nursing. I know my milk is drying up and I'm not really that sad about it. DD is a wreck and throws tantrums. But it really hurts and I just feel so irritated whenever I nurse her (which is still like 5 times a day). I am ready for a a few months where my boobs are my own before they aren't again.

I wouldn't say I hate summer, but I definitely feel at loose ends during the summertime. I'm actually planning on setting up a weekday schedule for myself this weekend that I'll start following next week, because I am just having such a hard time keeping myself organized and motivated.
Had a rough night...I feel like my emotions are all over the place and I don't feel like myself. Im constantly tired, like super tired. I am so nauseous at times and it seems to come out of nowhere and I frantically search for a mint. I can't sleep at night very well with these crazy dreams and getting up to pee every hr.
Pretty sure DH thinks I'm a lunatic for crying about not feeling like myself.
Just needed to get this out there so I felt a little less crazy.
@LeahNicole sounds pretty normal to me. Sorry you're feeling down! Hope you feel more like yourself soon. If it lasts longer than a few weeks don't be afraid to talk to your doctor about it though!
@ceclarlinetlo thanks! Hopefully I can get some good sleep tonight! I don't feel like this everyday but in the last few days I feel like my fatigue is 100x worse.

@canavara I totally agree, poor DH, I have a much higher sex drive with the last baby.
