FFFC (10/7)

bornmommy

Friday's Flame Free Confession!  Its time to confess my June baby sisters.  

Just so everyone knows - the "flame free" is not always a guarantee.

Mine isn't that juicy but I do feel a little silly --- I already got out all my maternity clothes.

@Turbotastic is it sad that some of mine never left my closet and my youngest is 14 months old!

Most of my maternity clothes live with my BFF who just had a baby (I'm going to get them back when I visit her in a few weeks), but I've been wearing clip down nursing tank tops 100% of the time that I am not in my work clothes since DD was born 15 months ago.  In fairness I do still nurse her before bed, but actually I'm just lazy and don't feel like wearing a real bra.  I'm going to have to get a few more, some of them are getting a bit worn out.

I think DD is going to get sick half way through today, so I'll have to work from home.  --AKA: Momma wants to wear comfy clothes. This bloat is no joke!

bornmommy

@delujm0 - I've told ONE person outside DH and it was in part due to the fact that her style is awesome and she offered me her maternity clothes.  (She just had her baby in August) ...maybe that should be my confession.  HA!

My kids had cake pops from Starbucks before 9 AM today.  It is a hurricane day so no teaching for me and we had to run out to Target and I wanted to shop in peace so bribery it was.

DD woke up at 6 and jumped off my bed. I let her roam the house so I could get 10 more minutes of sleep. She then came back into my room and threw her baby doll at me. Karma?

My FFFC is that my husband comes home tomorrow from his work trip and I'm actually a little sad about having to give up my time alone. It's just been so nice to not deal with a super moody husband (work has left him in a bad mood lately). I'm getting pretty grumpy with the pregnancy hormones so when he's whining about how his life is just so hard and so terrible it really peeves me. We have an amazing life. He even gets to work from home most days. We just found out we're having a baby. Everything has looked great with the betas and such so far and there is no reason to assume, at least for now, that this won't finally be our take-home baby. We should be overjoyed and thankful instead of moping around about how life is bad. It's just really annoying me and I'm not ready for him to come home.

@NamelessAria are you ready for the last TVD season?!

NamelessAria

@email2ash I am and I'm not. I'm not 100% sure I like where they're going with everything. And I never like to see something I've enjoyed for awhile end. I guess my other FFFC is that I never watch the last episode of a series I loved. I have some thing where if I don't watch the last episode it can end however I wanted it to end and it's never really completely over since technically I do have more to watch. I just hate endings when it comes to beloved shows and books.

bornmommy

@NamelessAria - my DH used to a 12-11pm shift when I taught and left at 6am, I'd be asleep (or drunk) most nights when he came home and I greatly enjoyed not fighting over the tv and having all the wine to myself while playing on the internet so much more than his whinny end of day buttness.  (He has since gotten a better job and is actually fun to be around but - I feel you, girl!)

I miss the TTGP board. I'm so happy to have graduated, but I really do miss the vibe there.

Anndddd, okay, I miss flaming drive-bys. 

NamelessAria

@swanbrooner You could still drop by from time to time and flame the drive-bys. I know some of the other grads did. I definitely still lurk it some.

@Turbotastic I'm glad I'm not the only one. I feel like a little bit of a jerk for that FFFC but I guess that's what makes it a good FFFC? haha

wifeinraleigh28

Just to bounce off what @swanbrooner said, similarly, I miss the IF board. That board was home to me for almost a year, and now I kinda feel bad if I post over there because I don't want my happy pregnancy ticker to trigger anyone. But... it's time to move on!

momma2char

Went to Starbucks this morning to get my husband and I some coffee, and added two oat fudge bars to my order for me and husband (knowing he hates oat fudge bars). Drove to his work to drop them off and "surprise" him with the extra treat. He kindly reminded me he didn't like the fudge bar so he would just take the coffee. Looks like I get both bars to myself, oops!

@Heliumgirl717 I'm home with a sick DD today too.  She is just snotting, coughing and sneezing all over me and all I can think is "please god no. spare me. don't let the germs in"


@wifeinraleigh28 and @swanbrooner I miss the IF and TTGP board too!!!  Don't get me wrong - graduation is awesome and I'm beyond excited, but a lot of great ladies over there and I plan to keep lurking.  Hopefully I can watch them graduate from the shadows.

My FFFC... I can't stop my latte habit.  I'm trying to cut back hardcore on my coffee, but the struggle is real.  Plus I figure better get it all in now because if the first 2 pregnancies were any indication I'm going to spend a lot of time in the not so distant future spooning the porcelain goddess.  

delujm0

@swanbrooner agree with the others...you can totally jump in on the TTGP board as long as you *TW* your Siggy and announce yourself as a Lurker first.  I just commented on a thread about TTGP while breastfeeding the other day. :-)

wifeinraleigh28

@Elyse1384 OMG lattes! Miss those like crazy! I will totally let myself order a decaf PSL from time to time as a little treat, but for the most part I just haven't been drinking anything besides water in the morning. So weird for me!

email2ash

@NamelessAria WOW! You have way more restraint than me. I have to watch and then I equally have to bitch about why I don't like the ending! haha

Jendink

@Heliumgirl717. The bloat!!! Ugh! I feel so bloated today and in super thankful I got off work early and came home and put yoga pants on..... Ahhhh-feels so much better

NamelessAria

@wifeinraleigh28 I know how that feels. I'd gotten involved in the infertility community over on Reddit and the ladies there were amazing. I feel terrible posting there now because I don't want anyone to feel like I'm rubbing anything in their face. Obviously I'd avoid any pregnancy talk but I feel like just seeing my name there would be like "isn't she pregnant now? I think I saw that somewhere in the results thread awhile back. Why is she posting here?"

I put my ticker in a spoiler box here because I still talk to several ladies from TTGP over in TTGPU. I don't want to be waving my pregnancy in their face every time we talk. I doubt they'd really care but still. I know what it was like when friends from TTGP would leave for their BMB, add their happy pregnancy ticker and then come out of lurking on TTGP to post something. Every time I saw those tickers it stung.

It's hard to just leave people you've been with through the good times, the bad times and the impossibly hard times.

My FFFC is that I currently dislike everyone that isn't my husband or son. This happened when I was pregnant the first time. I literally hoarded time with my husband and got so cranky when we were apart. Seems like it's the same story this time around. And I can't stop crying about being away from them tomorrow. 

I hate this clingy lady that has taken over my body.

My husband was sick today and daycare was closed. So, I left my 10 month old home with him (he was super cranky this morning and I have a feeling he was coming down with something too). I came home from work tonight to find my house in shambles... literally my ten month old had knocked over the cat food and water hours before hand (it was soggy) and there was a dirty diaper on the living room floor. I freaked out at my husband and told him to get his butt up and hep me clean up because it was ridiculous. We got into a huge fight. I'm not sorry and the house never looks like that when I am sick!

Sadly, I never stopped wearing my maternity clothes.  My mom did ask me about a month ago, when I was going to switch back to my regular clothes.  Oh well, now there's no reason to.

sjohns908

My SIL announced 2 weeks ago that she's pregnant. DH and I have been trying since January and as far as his family knows, we are done having kids. But now that SIL is pregnant, I'm not in any hurry to announce because I'm paranoid they will think we're having another because she is. (The ILs are slightly nuts and come up with all kinds of weird theories for everything).  I'm also dreading the annoying "omg you're having a FOURTH kid?!?" comments. 

MotherofDragons

@Poppy2014 I'm still rocking my maternity leggings. And plan on it forever.

jc_twomamas

@Turbotastic I collected my maternity clothes back from my sister the day after I found out we were expecting babe 2. No shame! 

Im also wearing a pair of the side panel jeans today because, well, this is kid 2 and I'm bloated. 

Mine FFFC confession is from Tuesday. I walked into work and immediately had my stomach turn on me. Went into the bathroom and puked. Came out, probably looking like a bag of shit and one of my HR ladies was standing there. She said "woah, you okay?" 
I took the chance to reply "no, I just got sick. I feel hot too. I maybe should go home".

She agreed. I went home..."sick". In all fairness, I was puking...but sick with pregnancy haha. I'm sure karma will come back around for me in no time! Had a beautiful day in bed though!

I'm a day late to this but I finally have one:

After all the HIO for the last 4 months + 1st tri hormones, I'm just not in The Mood. I may or may not have pretended to be asleep when the Mr tried to cuddle tonight... HA

Assiram42

@Poppy2014, I don't see anything wrong with that.  

I wear maternity pants every Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, they're my buffet pants.  No shame!
