flame free friday confessions (fffc) 4/26

Confession time! 

McKBaby

I ate chips with TJs Kale & Spinach dip for breakfast. I don’t feel bad, but I’m not telling DH. 

mrszoobear

I hate water so much. It doesn't taste good or refreshing to me at all. I have to doctor it up with ice and lemon or lime wedges and force myself to drink it.

I’m kind of hoping there’s some drama in this group soon.  Not that I necessarily want drama, I just want people to participate, damnit!  Drama is better than nothing.

bakerstreetboys

@SpongeWorthy Lol I was thinking the same thing this morning!  Nothing malicious, but a little bit of spice!  Like maybe you’d get a response to your comment on a certain thread.... 

SpongeWorthy

@bakerstreetboys I wasn’t going to respond, but maybe I should to spice things up 😉

FFFC: although miserable - I'm glad when I throw up and DH is home, so he knows I'm not bullshitting when I say I throw up almost everytime I stand and can't get close to nothing done at home. 

Well sometimes I'm feeling okay and just don't feel like doing a damn thing either 🤷

I've already promised my J17 Mama group that I will report on any serious ~*DrAmA*~ so they can all come read it for themselves 

Also I was terrible at keeping people's names/info straight last time I did this, so I started a cheat sheet of notes on my desk to try to remember significant people this time. And no, I will not divulge who's already made the list or not

I just ate half a giant bag of popcorn my husband brought home last night after seeing the avengers. Terrible decision considering it’s before dinner and it’s hard to poo these days. 😣 But I couldn’t resist and was hungry!

@sunshineandlemons once when I was pregnant, I went to the mall just to buy a large movie theater popcorn and ate most of it in the ride home!


afm, I returned my cable box today, since it wouldn’t come home. Got home with the new one only to realize the first one wasn’t plugged in.

Also, I bought a ridiculous amount of clearance Reese’s eggs at target today.  Like almost 30.

and I just noticed dh eating some and it is irrationally pissing me off.

k_mama91

I just baked a Dutch apple pie. My family hates pie. I made it so I can eat all of it and not share with anyone. And I’m not ashamed.

sunshineandlemons

@k_mama91 that sounds amazing! 😋

k_mama91

@sunshineandlemons SO good 🐷
ETA: 🐷 bc that’s what I’ve turned into

@SpongeWorthy @bakerstreetboys

I too wouldn't mind a bit of drama, I come to the boards when I cant focus as work and generally not much to see. 

Fffc: I am already refusing to DTD with DH because I "dont feel well". Or I am just sick of it after 2ish years of trying...hard. Sorry yet not sorry.

knowing my evil MIL will have a fit over this pregnancy makes me weirdly happy. Let her stew in anger once will tell her (she thinks no one should have more than one child, and that having two is irresponsible, no matter who you are). 

ktmaesim

LOL at you guys all wanting drama 😂 I am living. I want it too.  @SpongeWorthy @bakerstreetboys I am watching that thread like a hawk 👀

ninrms

@holly321 oh MAN I love Reese’s eggs!! My grandma just mailed us an Easter box this week and included two of those big huge Reese’s eggs. I was thrilled, but DH had the nerve to joke, “Wouldn’t it be nice if you got an aversion to chocolate?”  That didn’t go well lol.

mackorori

@nll0803 that’s weird about your MIL, I feel like most of my friend’s mothers are always like “bring on the babies!!!”

I have to admit a little drama would be entertaining. Like the train wreck you can’t stop but gawk at. I know I’m still holding back a bit on the boards too, the world does not need my PGAL head space junk.

My confession (and maybe question)...I do not get what the deal is with these sushi restrictions. Is this not part of the daily diet in some cultures? Sushi did not cause my trisomies so I think as long as I’m not eating it three times a day (though I could!) and am going to reputable place then bring it on.

CapricaAndrea

@mackorori I believe it has to do with the source of fish. For instance in Japan no matter where you are in the country the fish is extremely fresh. But in North America, the fish has been frozen and shipped and because of that there is a higher chance of contamination which are at worst food poisoning for most people, but can cause major issues for fetuses. 

brrrrrrrrie

My husband told his father we are pregnant. His father's reply? "Accidents happen." I know it was a joke but it still infuriates me for some reason!

holly321

@mackorori I agree with you to an extent.  As long as it is a reputable fresh source, it is probably safe. @capricaandrea has really good points.   I have ignored a lot of “the rules” about food, my obgyn agrees most is over kill.  I too had a trisomy loss plus abmolar pregnancy.  Not caused by bad foods clearly. 

anniemarie887

@mackorori read Expecting Better. She digs in about sushi, booze, coffee, lunch meant. The gist is that in moderation it’s fine. The banning of stuff is total bs. 

nll0803

@mackorori it's a cultural thing, for her at least. She is from a country that put limits on children per family, and it is ingrained in her mind that one child is all a family needs. My mother on the hand, wants all the babies. 

mackorori

@nll0803 that makes sense, though no less irritating to hear the commentary I’m sure

@SpongeWorthy @bakerstreetboys

I am currently reading all the threads trying to find what I have missed out on!

bakerstreetboys

@klmcguire It was nothing big, just a one off that could have gotten spicy!

Fffc: I've been carefully avoiding the MIL ever since we started trying because she always pushes the "when are you going to start giving me grandkids" conversation. After our MC in February I've been working even more at avoiding her because I know I would lose it on her. Well yesterday DH got together with her for his birthday and sure enough she was all flustered with him b/c he won't tell her when we are going to start trying. He very gracefully told her that we will tell her when there is anything to share.

Funny enough, we plan to tell her on Mother's Day with a slightly elaborate plan surrounding it... I just worry she's gonna open her mouth and say something inconsiderate before we even get a chance to announce it to her!

I will keep you all posted. 😉
