Confession Time Ladies!

LovesMM

I gotta get my mind of my Growth U/S later today so Lets here them!!

Mine:

At this point in time I'd rather get off on my own than have sex with H.

I'm just too tired and uncomfortable to worry about getting 'worked up' enough for him.

my confession is truly terrible, I almost don't even wanna post it. but I REALLY don't mean to hurt anybody's feelings or be offensive.. that said, I'm kinda jealous of all of the women who are having trouble gaining weight.  I know, I'm bad.  if my doctor put me on an ice cream diet I'd be friggin happy as sh*t but instead I'm having to keep myself away from all of the foods I really want/crave (Mcdonalds, mostly) so I don't gain too much. :sigh:

LaLaaaa

I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED FOR MY SHOWER NEXT WEEKEND!!!! 

Ok, not just for the gifts.  But because I will get to see so many people that I don't get to see on a regular basis since we are all spread out from state to state.

And to add to the sex talk, I think it's been a month since we've done the dirty and I have no desire to do it anytime soon.  Poor hubby.

No offense taken, I'm jealous of the ones that are putting on weight but aren't "packing on the pounds" 

Early on in my pregnancy I stood firm with the idea that I wasn't going to use it as an excuse to eat anything and everything I wanted. I guess it came around to bite me in the ass. I wouldn't mind a 10-15 pound gain but I'm scared of the 20+ pounds. 

Also, I'm scared of the affect of my lack of weight gain will have on breast feeding.

Hmm... confession....

I don't really need another baby shower at all (I've had 2- one small, one bigger), and we have all of our "big" items and would easily be able to fill in the blanks for the smaller stuff.

But I'm having one in a few weeks (another big one) and a diaper day at work (where everyone brings diapers and gift cards and gifts), and I don't feel guilty at all! I'm soaking up the generosity! THis is going to be a well-dressed, well-cared for little girl. : ))

I really hate being pregnant. I'm not sure that's a confession because I know we're all getting tired of being pregnant, but I just can't summon any enthusiasm for this anymore. Between the GD, trying to force feed myself enough calories and the constant monitoring, I've about had it. That said, I'm just a whiny pain in the a$$ lately. I'm sorry for being suh a constant downer.

And can I second this one? I just am not into it these days. I try to muster up the energy about once a week/every 10 days or so, but it feels like an effort now. I get thigh cramps every time we do it. Fun.

My confession is I have a secret chocolate stash that I keep away from DH, my mom, and both DD's. I hide chocolates under my socks in my sock drawer and when I am under LOTS of stress I "sneak" away for a moment. I have yet to be caught but feel really guilty when my mom confides that she'd like something sweet or chocolatey and it is 11 at night.

  I'm sorry.  I can't imagine being in that situation because I think we all just kinda assumed weight gain would "just happen" during pregnancy whether we want it or not.  anyway good luck with your growth u/s let us know how it goes!!

I am really done with work right now. I am just tired of standing all day and people are just annoying the crap out of me this week. I am afraid that I am going to snap and just shave someones head. BUt on the plus side I do get to enjoy two whole days off work this week with the hubby, which hasnt happen in months so excited

I am so with you on the sex thing too. I really want it, but my girlie bits are so tender right now I know it wouldnt feel good and I have no engery. I know I should probally give MH some other loving, but If i dont get it hes not getting it either, I am being selfish

futureCLJ

Call me the worst SO ever.... J does not know that I am walking around dilated. Or that I lost my plug. If he did know this, he would have a shiittin coniption and make me stay in bed all day.

I leave town on Sunday and I am so looking forward to it.  Just having a break from everything - housework, yard work, work-work, etc. - will be divine.  I'm not going anywhere exotic but just traveling to a new city is going to be awesome enough.

I'll miss DH and my dogs though.

eaburger09

I've been feeling so tired and generally icky that I just want to SLEEP and not worry about school.  I'll be graduating with my bachelor's degree 2 days before my due date...I want to just say screw the last class and not TRY...which is completely unlilke me.  I'm an overachieving nerd, and usually proud of that.

When I DO have the chance to take a nap (when my older kiddos are in school) I always feel guilty because I feel like I should be doing something more productive than sleeping...Being a single mom, I think I have to do everything all the time when really, those dishes can wait til I snooze for an hour...

This is me.  And I think we need a new sex clicky poll--see what the other ladies are doing about this!

stellabelle

I haven't done nearly enough to get the house ready. It needs a deeeeep clean before the baby gets here in ten short weeks.

I'm so afraid that I won't start nesting -- that I'll keep putting it off -- and that it will be too late and the baby will be here and we'll have to bring her home to a house full of pet dander.

 

But I work all day and at night all I want to do is eat and watch tv and on the weekend all I want to do is sleep and eat and sleep and watch tv and sleep. And eat.

elaforgia

I don't usually play, but I'll do it today.  I got a master's degree and am barely using it now, and I don't really care.  This bothers DH to no end as we have tons of loans to pay off.  But right now, I just want to focus on the baby.  I know I'll use it eventually, and I'm glad I got it, but for right now, i just don't care.  And I am getting sick of DH saying that after the baby I have to go back to work so I can use my degree.  Grrr...

Rink08

I'm finding myself getting really annoyed by everything lately.

Until being pregnant, I never used the block feature. I think over the past two weeks I've blocked someone daily. I haven't used it on anyone from the Dec. board though, but I'm sure it will happen eventually.

I have no desire to "get together" with people who I have slowly drifted apart from over the past couple of years. It seems like during each pregnancy people come out of the woodwork and want to be involved (especially people who already have children).

I'm going to have to third this one. Poor DH...its been months.  Honestly though, my poor vag is SO swollen I just can't imagine messing with it at this point. Sorry, DH. 

jedrumwright

I'm with everyone else on the sex. It's not that its painful but it's irritating. He was trying to last night and I got frustrated that he can't take a hint and just told him I don't like having sex with him right now. It's not that I don't want to, it's just a horrible feeling when we do. Before being pg it was not like that.

 

CFH79

I kind of just can't wait for my showers to be over with and have the thank yous written, etc.  I'm sure my next two showers will be fun--one at work and one with DH's family/friends, but the idea of having to be overly social or the center of  attention just wears me out and I'm just done...

paigeapoe

Have three today:

1. I'm not in the mood today. I'm just in a rotten, awful, horrible mood and I really don't care to do anything to change it.

2. SO's mom informed me of a shower last night, I'm not looking forward to it, I'll know no one and she hasn't included me on it, I just found out about it last night, she never asked me about it, she told me about it after the invites went out.

3. I really want to just go back to bed n not do anything but I can't, so I've settled for being unproductive at work.

none taken here either, but i'd trade you in a hot second. i'm having a hard time gaining weight (and I thought for sure i'd be one of those who ballooned up without any trouble) and i'm really starting to worry about the effect this will have on the baby.

my doctor hasn't seemed too concerned yet, but i just weighed myself last night, and i'm the same as i was at my last appt... which was only a 10lb gain from the LOWEST point I hit after all my m/s (which means I've only gained about 5lbs total from my pre-pg weight).

if i were in your shoes though, i'd be making a freakin list of all the things i had to avoid during pregnancy and a schedule on which i was going to eat them after giving birth.

Here's mine.  In some ways it drives me crazy that the Jewish tradition is to not have a shower and not buy gifts for the baby until the baby is born.  On the one hand, I do understand the superstition and don't love the idea of having a party to celebrate the baby before he is even here, but on the other hand, there is stuff we NEED before he gets here and I am not comfortable with just waiting until after he comes and hoping people buy us stuff.  I'm talking things like a changing pad, sheets, diapers, swing, monitor, burp cloths, swaddle blankets, etc.... So DH and I are going to have to go out an buy all this stuff ourselves.  We're waiting a little while longer to see if some people buy us stuff, but honestly so far the only people who have bought us anything are my parents and my MIL, and that is when we went shopping with them.  I know that there are friends who want to get us stuff, but they won't get us anything until after the baby is born.  I guess we'll just try to buy the bare minimum before the baby shows up and then wait for people to buy us gifts, but it also makes me nervous because we might be running out to buy stuff with a 1-week old just because we didn't have it yet.  I am a planner and this is driving me nuts!

My confession is that I am so freaking miserable I don't know what to do with myself. All I want to do is have this baby so I can feel better. I always thought I would love being pregnant but it is a lot harder than I thought it would be. In my defense, I got pregnant in October 2009 and had a MC in December so I feel like I have been pregnant for a whole year at this point.

Now, my rational side is stepping in and saying, "grow baby grow!" Your mama can handle it!

GrayGhost13

I'm still feeling pretty grouchy and bitter about my GD diagnosis this week. All the posts about cravings and ice cream and junk food are making me feel stabby, even though I know it's no fair to begrudge everyone else their treats.

And I wish my nutritionist appointment next week would hurry up and get here, because right now I can't figure out what the heck to eat. I've eaten less than 1,200 calories a day for the past few days (only 800 on Wednesday) because I can't find anything that's calorie rich that isn't loaded with carbs (and vegetables have, like, no calories in them). I'm trying hard not to skip meals, but honestly, I'm having a hard time dealing with eating right now. It would be so much easier if I was just dieting--I'm good at dieting--but trying to gain weight and not eat carbs is just confusing.

I'm probably going to have a mimosa at my shower brunch on Sunday. 

jillybean800

I hate writing thank you cards.  Yeah, yeah, necessary, etiquette etc, but seriously, if I were going to a shower and someone gave me a heartfelt thanks IN PERSON, that's so much better than a note that I know was annoying and time consuming to write!

I totally get writing a note to a person who sent you something from far away, etc, but I would rather just talk to the person on the phone.

This is because I am way too busy (i.e. lazy) to want to write my own, as I know I will have to do.

haha, I'll add to this by saying that I've been getting off on my own more frequently than at any point during my life, yet I don't want to have sex because it hurts.

I'm with you ladies here.  I don't want to have sex either.  We are going on 2 week dry streak!!!  I feel bad for the DH but...I'm not in the mood.  I keep reading the 3rd trimester board and how they keep talking about sex helping induce labor.  I can't even imagine sex at 9 months!! 

elizabeth6258

I have to agree that I have been avoiding my DH like to plague. I feel so bad but sex is just not enjoyable to me right now. I hurt during and afterward and feel like when I am not really into it he knows. That makes me feel even worse, like it's a pity lay

plumerialost

I don't normally play but here goes:

I'm with a lot of you on the no sex with DH and BOB being my BF on getting me off here and there. Sex is just so uncomfortable.

I've had GD since way back in the 1st trimester and I still eat chocolate! Half to 1 Hersey's Special Dark Bar and peanut butter!  That's my little piece of heaven...and hey, I'm getting protein and some dairy! 

bmk2b

I am SOOO over work.  I work nights as a nurse on a non-critical floor.  I get so agravated when I have to waddle my pregnant butt to someone's room and rub their back or reassure them b/c they can't have any more pain medicine.  I want to scream when patients tell me how uncomfortable they are.  Sometimes, it's all I can do to be nice to them (I REALLYwant to be mean), then I feel like a horrible person.

As for sex, I want it all the time but my DH doesn't b/c it "freaks him out"!!

britne08

My confession: Im scared that my shower tomorrow is going to be poorly planned. M's sister, mom and aunts are doing it. But they havn't planned anything, I know nothing, (except what little info I can get M to ask them about) they wern't even planning to do any favours for the guests. So I made some... I just hope people arn't dissapointed.
