Flame Free Friday Confession (FFFC) 11/3

hillbillywife

you know you want to confess something... 

hillbillywife

I’m babysitting for a relative this week and I’m NOT enjoying it. Not one bit.. I just wanna snuggle with my DD and lay on the couch. 

Katm89

Part of me wishes I had MS really bad, so I could lose some weight in the first trimester.... with DD I felt sick but never puked so I gained 15+ pounds in the first trimester from all the pizza.

CareBear622

So I love me some wine, and I really thought that once I stopped my nightly glass(es) I would lose a bit around my midsection, but so far nada....and I'm kinda bummed about it.     

Katm89

@CareBear622 You're also probably super bloated.

stillcozy

I’m going to start drinking caffeine again. I’m fighting the worst headache ever it’s been going on all night and I want to take ibuprofen so bad but can’t. 

ajsanders-2

I need more caffeine in my life, I am so tired! This 1 cup or whatever a day is not enough! hahaha.

acunamatada

@lindsayleigh1989 I could never quit coffee 100%, I still have a morning cup otherwise I'd be completely useless. I get horrible headaches too. 

millpe

@lindsayleigh1989 The headaches are real! Im at 2 cups of coffee and even that is a little bit of a struggle for me. 

CareBear622

@lindsayleigh1989 I think caffeine in moderation is totally ok!  I think the guidelines are one cup of coffee per day, but right now I'm at a cup of coffee and 1 diet soda per day.  Otherwise I would be completely useless!  

@Katm89 I am super bloated...and it makes me sad    

coco2787

@Katm89 I had bad MS last time around but still gained 10 lbs first tri because the only way to avoid nausea was to eat around the clock.  

coco2787

My confession is that I bought my first baby item back in March, a good 7 months before we started TTC 

emsned

I gained 48 pounds during my first pregnancy, and with breastfeeding for a whole year I was able to lose 41 of those pounds. Then the summer came, and I got lazy, and I regained 10 pounds back. I haven't seen any of my family since I started regaining the weight, but I'm visiting them for Thanksgiving. I'm afraid someone will ask if I'm pregnant just based on my chubby belly, when in all reality I am pregnant but there's no possibility I will have started showing yet.

Same here! I'm sitting here like "I haven't had any wine in 2 weeks why am I not 10 lbs lighter" lol

I have a girls get together wine tasting tonight and I a am trying to figure out how to get out of it. Not because I'm pregnant and can't drink, but because I don't want to tell anyone yet and mainly bc I want to go home and take a na with DS and not feel bad about it!

Katm89

@emsnedds I gained 46 pounds and lost all but 8 of those pounds... Breastfeeding really held my weight loss back. I could only pump enough at work when I ate really fatty foods

christycalifornia

I'm selfishly really excited to be due early in the month. I was the end of the month on my last BMP and by the time we got there us end of the month-ers only seemed to care about each other. If you come in due at the end of the month, I promise I'll still care about you!

christycalifornia

Fellow coffee drinkers remember: espresso has less caffeine than drip coffee so if you wanna squeeze in an extra latte...!

coco2787

I've POAS every day since I got my BFP.  It's just so satisfying to see those two little lines pop up.

christycalifornia

And also, I'm sorry, but Independance Day is the most fun holiday to have a birthday around. Who doesn't want fireworks for their birthday?!

Katm89

@coco2787 I would be too if I hadn't run out of tests, I occasionally pee on an ovulation sticks to reassure myself

stillcozy

@christycalifornia I was due on the fourth with. DD and was really excited than when she didn’t come i hated the fourth

dimeadozen

@coco2787 I think there are girls who do that! Don't feel bad for doing it, two lines are a beautiful thing!! And I look at my digital "pregnant" test every day now since I took it on Wednesday.

Each month, I usually check First Response's website to see when the earliest day is I can test... then start testing two days before that lol. I'll then take a test every day until AF comes or I get the positive test! I told DH today that while I'm probably not going to, I feel like I should take an at home test the morning of my confirmation appointment so there are no surprises when I get there this time.

celainev

@Katm89 I had really bad MS last pregnancy and still gained 60 lbs during my pregnancy! Like @coco2787 said, all I could really eat were blueberry muffins and Starbucks breakfast sandwiches!! There really are no positives to MS!

My MIL got me a gift to get a facial this afternoon. It was really nice of her but I was planning on doing something else this afternoon and now had to cancel my plans. Which sucks because I was looking forward to it!

I was literally thinking this same exact thing this morning.  

stillcozy

I’ve feeling the same way I want to take another test so badly but they are just too expensive 

christycalifornia

I'm taking tests, I don't care. I lost at 7 weeks last time, and my clue to go get checked was a) the line never darkened past very faint b) it stopped showing up altogether at week 7. It's incredibly calming for me to test every three days or so and see that line get darker. Now it's popping out like BAM! and I'm super grateful.

@christycalifornia I was at the end of the month last time too. People just dropped like flies when they had their babies.

My FFFC- I didn't breastfeed first time around and it will take a hell of a lot of convincing to do it with this baby.

My mother works in a medical office and gave me a big bag of tests... I used every single one, before I started getting betas done

I only breastfed 6 weeks and it was hell!! I’m planning on trying again but going straight to formula if baby won’t latch like last time!! (Yay super flat nips.).  

millpe

@coco2787 Yes! I can't stop taking tests.. I think DH is actually getting mad at me... 

quiltandknit

@coco2787 and @MrsMiller8588. Same! I keep checking. It’s like I don’t believe it until I see it. And my first positive on FRER was so faint I just want to see it get darker!

stillcozy

Where do you all get tests? 

coco2787

@lindsayleigh1989 dollar store or Walmart has ones for .88 cents, I got a 25 pack of strips on Amazon for $8.  Store brand tests are usually pretty cheap too, around $5 for a 2 pack of sticks.  
 

stillcozy

Thanks! Target was so expensive I’ll stop by the dollar store today! 

hillbillywife

So I just went and peed on a cheapie stick after reading this post to make sure I’m still KU

paytonpedro

I should be picking up my house right now while DS naps but I’m not and I don’t really plan on it.

runsomewhere

I need to go to Target after work today. I'm so going to get more test so I can "keep making sure" it's really real. Also, must resist buying any baby items!! 

dimeadozen

@runsomewhere have you gotten your free registry bag?!

bubby15

@hillbillywife I didn't the same thing, glad I'm not alone!

Katm89

@LF93 I am actually still nursing. Starting it was hell though! Thank god for the lactation visits.
