FFFC 10/6

As always, not guaranteed to be flame free.......

Mine is pretty lame right now.  I'm sad the June 2018 UO was closed.  I really really wanted to jump in and comment.  I may think of a better one later, but I'm sticking with that one for now.

My C is I think @doxiemoxie212 should join us here. She's too cool for June.

sandbar517

@charlestonchew I SO agree with you!!!! My ass is already tired from all the drama over there.

LOL I got a warning from BumpAdmin which was fun. Nice to know The Bump sides with sexists. 


PSA: PM me if you'd like to email corporate.

@doxiemoxie212 Unreal.  I'm SO glad someone finally bolded the line where she said I'm not sexist because I prefer one sex over the other when I'm hiring someone and said this is the exact definition of sexism.  It made me do this:

I feel like garbage.  I'm exhausted from no sleep.  I just want to be lazy all day, but I can't because DH and I are leaving town early tomorrow morning and FIL and SMIL are coming to watch the twins. So I have to clean, do laundry, finish Halloween decorating  pack for myself, and figure out the clothes for the twins this weekend plus normal sahm stuff. 
All of this means more tv time for the kids and I feel zero guilt about it. One day of extra tv won't hurt them.

sandbar517

@suchaglencoco Ugh, I totally feel you.  I've been telling myself all the extra days of tv won't hurt them, there've been a LOT of them lately. LOL  I'm going on a trip with my girls (by myself) and taking my 5 year old niece, so I have a lot of the same stuff.  Need to finish up last minute things at work before I leave early, go home and pack, throw some stuff in a suitcase for the girls, and pick niece up from school.  Then drive 5-6 hours.  I'm getting tired just thinking about it.

suchaglencoco

@sandbar517, so exhausting to think about!!!
Our drive should be like 6.5 hours, but with me needing to pee constantly, we're budgeting our time to be 8 hours, haha. 
I am going to miss our kids a ton, but it'll be nice to not have them there for the long drive.

I'm not wearing a bra at work today.  FYI I need to wear bra.  But I've been only wearing sports bras because they're so much more comfortable than nursing bras and it just didn't work with the shirt I'm wearing today so I just have a cami and nipple pads under it.  It feels great but my boobs are legit down to my belly button.

FFFC my work has legit been suffering since morning sickness started. I just can't perform at my usual level when I feel like I have the flu every day. I feel bad but I don't know what to do.

I cringe when I see a weight loss or weight gain thread on the bump. Unless your midwife/dr has told you something specific, you don't need to worry about it. I find commentary about a woman's weight to be detrimental to overall mental health.

FFFC I kinda thought this was gonna be the fitness thread...like *something starting with F* Friday Fitness Club or something? That said, I would've just lurked since I haven't worked out a single second this pregnancy thanks to being high risk and paranoid.

So what happened over on the June board? I can't keep up with all the drama apparently. @doxiemoxie212 what was the warning for.

My FFFC is kinda tame but I want a glass of wine more than anything in the world right now (well not this second bc it's not even 11am yet). This week has sucked and the idea of just pouring a fat glass of red wine and sipping it sounds glorious. Of course there will be no wine drinking though

My SO has a cat.. I am allergic and also not a fan of cats. I try to like him but I really don't. My confession is, I told him the cat could live with us (he's had him for a couple years) but I wish I wouldn't have. Sorry, I'm somewhat heartless I suppose. Flame away.

I'll never own another animal again.

Same @ivyvines6 . I know the dog stuff keeps getting brought up, but our dogs were our world. I don't love them less, I just love my child more and he always comes first. Never another pet.

ladystinson

@cups4 I totally get that pets are family. But I look at it like this, I have extended family whom I love. But do I love my child more? you betcha! lol Just because we love them dearly and consider them family doesn't put them on the same level 

Though I will say.... I'm loving my pets a lot more than quite a few extended family members... lol

justsuzie

@cups4 Yep, I can't imagine loving my dogs less but they won't take priority anymore after baby comes.  But what could be better for a kid than growing up with pets!  I didn't have any pets growing up and I was always sad about that.

tincupchalice

I love my dog less.  She's developed several issues since we added baby number two.  I'm kinda nervous about baby number three.

I think I actually lost more sleep because of the darn dog than baby 2.  We finally gave up and let her sleep in our closet because nothing else would work.

@tincupchalice one of our dogs (our Newfie) started to develop problems after DS was born. It was actually a few months after he was born, and while our older gsd was slowing down. It was anxiety almost and he kept itching at the same spot on his body. His whole back flabk was completely bald and he kept getting ear infections from all the itching.  We spent so much money trying to figure it out. We caved and got him a new friend, a new retriever puppy (also called the biggest pain in my butt). With the addition of the new dog to our family he miraculously started to get better! No more incessant itching and bald spots. So in the end I'm glad we have 2 dogs, but man it is hard work with a toddler.
