Confession...what's yours?

Haven't seen a mass one of these in a while and they always make me smile...

MINE:  I can't wait for my baby shower invites to go out next week so I can start stalking my registry.  My mom tells me it's like opening my Christmas presents in advance, but I don't care, it gets me really excited!

What's yours?

I am not creative when it comes to finger foods. DS literally eats a chicken nugget and peas for just about every lunch and dinner. I feel awful. It's a good things he likes them though

I am waiting for this same thing.  I can't wait.  I dont need alot but it is still exciting.  I even helped design the invitations so they would make it out quicker.

I am a vegetarian, and have been for about 15 years. I guaranteed everyone I would have no cravings for meat during pregnancy, but I would love to try McDonald's chicken nuggets right now!

Paige and I wake up around 6 every morning when my DH gets up for work. ?I feed her as he is leaving for work. ?When she is finished eating, Paige and I go back to sleep until 9 or sometimes even 10. ?I would never tell DH that and I act like I am just as tired as he is at night : )

I am getting to go to a movie with my BFF this weekend and I am so excited! I want DH to see how hard it is with LO on the weekend. He takes him Saturday morning for breakfast but the ladies all know him and help him if Riley gets fussy. He is going to have to do a bottle and a nap while we are gone, not much but at least he will see that it is HARD.

I hate asking for help :-(

I hired our friends' son to mow our lawn this week (while DH is busy with work)...our mower isn't working, so our friend is bringing their mower over for him to mow with (I feel TERRIBLE about that).

I hired a friend of my sister's to come and wash the walls/ceiling in our bathroom (mildew/mold issues - we need to paint in there) because I can't (bleach and ladders) and DH isn't around.

I'm paying these people and I still feel like I'm annoying them by asking them if they could help AND I'm paying them. I think I should be able to do everything...and I probably could mow the lawn and wasH the walls/ceilings, but DH would probably kill me.

Sometimes I pretend to have a bad stomach ache so I can stay in the bathroom and read for a little while when Dh is home.  He's eventually going to think I have severe stomach issues hehe but in my defense, it's the only time I get to sit and read without being bothered.

Im procrastinating when it comes to signing up for baby related classes. I keep telling myself I have all the time in the world when in reality I have 12 wks left!

Yikes!

I don't work as hard during the day as I let on to DH. I spend quite a bit of time nesting and just chillin out. However when DH asks, I give him big stories about the cleaning I have done and how difficult DS has been during the day.

DavezWife

OMG! Tina I do that TOO!!  Davez says "mommy's going to her office to get some paperwork done!"  lol!

Mine is: I'm glad Ava was not more seriously hurt, but I'm REALLY glad I was not the one who left the gate open, or I would NEVER hear the end of it. Or get another kid. lol.

I have a very hard time being motivated during nap time.  I should clean and be productive, but I'd rather watch TV/play on the internet/read.

Everytime I buy a new toy for DS, I tell my DH it was something we received as a gift.  He tells me that toys are a waste of money because Robbie doesn't play with them more than twice (which is true some of the time).  But I just can't help myself when I see something I know he will like.

I've been stalking my registry since the invites went out. I get a little thrill when something else has been purchased and start imagining using the item. I need to stop. I love surprises and I don't know what's gotten into me. I never peeked once at our wedding registry. My husband is getting annoyed that I keep ruining the surprises.

This.  And I'm a horrible patient so I'm really not looking forward to my time in the hospital starting tomorrow.  I hate coming off as a weenie, so I usually end up overdoing it.  I also hate having to call nurses to ask for help because, well, I hate asking for it!  I feel like I'm being a pest, even though that's what they're there for.  

I'm also nervous about interacting with my ILs once the babies get here.  They have such different ways of doing things.  I'm so much like my mom, so I don't foresee many problems there, but my MIL has a very, um, different mothering style (a bit colder, less cautious, etc.)  I know I'm headed toward a world of eye rolls and backhanded comments.

I would rather nap when I get home from work than play with our new puppy.  He's really cute and I do love him, but sleep is so much more important to me than bonding with the dog right now.  Then I complain that the dog won't listen to me.  Of course he won't.  DH is around him all day (works from home), so of course he listens to him. And DH is always saying "why don't you spend more time with Jersey"? - Because I want to sleep!

I too will be stalking my registry soon, I did for my bridal registry and it was always the most exciting part of my day!

It's only the second day of school with kids and I'm already bored. (Time for a career change!)

I've spent close to $400 buying "back to school" clothes for myself over the last couple weeks (I'm a professor). My excuse is that I'm still too big to fit into my prepregnancy clothes, but I really went a little overboard. I don't need 8 pairs of pants in a size that I hope not to be wearing for much longer because I want to lose weight!

And let's not get started on the amount I spend on clothes for DS. I can not resist Carter's and the Gymboree outlet . . ..

I am/was also a vegetarian and caved. I was literally dreaming about cheeseburgers so I just had to have one, and one led to more, and chicken, and turrkey- everythign except pork. I figure I can go back after the baby and breastfeeding.

 This... what is my problem?  Why can't I clean?

I lowered the blades on our lawnmower, so that it cuts the grass really short so I dont have to cut it as often. DH is really picky about the yard and grass. It's just that while I used to enjoy cutting the grass the only way for me to get it done in a timely fashion is to pay a babysitter to watch DS so I don't have to stop to check on him in the play yard.

I just have to remember to put the lawnmower back the way it was before DH comes home next week.
