FFFC!

rien713

Earlier this week, I was bored and decided to piece together a family tree. After some clicking around on the internet, I discovered that MIL has been married seven times. I forwarded it to DH, who had no idea and confronted her about it (she confirmed all seven and was shocked that he'd "found out").

The kicker is that not one of those marriages was to DH's birth father, who we know nothing about. My already dwindling respect for this woman is pretty much down to zero, and I feel guilty that I was the one to tell DH. He's even more frustrated with her now than he's ever been that she's made so many poor choices in her life. But I'm glad that DH is finally opening up to me about his real feelings toward her instead of the occasional outburst over her ignorance. I'm secretly glad to hear his real opinions on the stupid stuff she's done (while "raising" him and her behaviour now) because I finally don't feel like the only one in my marriage who finds her pathetic and ridiculous.

We haven't done it since we got pregnant.  Not once.  I have a low sex drive anyway, and I just don't have the interest.

Also, we were going to register today and DH told me he knew right where BRU was (we were going to a different location than I usually do) and he was completely wrong.  We then didn't have time before his work and mine, so all my excitement is dashed and I am angry at him.

Um...WHAT?! How the hell did she manage to hide all those marriages--were they all Britney Spears' marriages...only lasting a day?! That's insane!

My confession is I HATE being pregnant.  I love the end result but I really dislike the whole process.  I like feeling the baby move but that might be it.  I keep thinking, how am I going to do 26 more weeks. I know there are people who love being pregnant, but I am not one of them.

 

Saaame here. I really don't like it either. I turn into the complete opposite of the laid-back person I normally am and pick fights for no reason with DH. I'm just all around miserable!

Sex makes me cramp really bad afterwards. BUT pregnant sex is so amazing that I deal with it and still do it with DH almost everyday! It's never been so good!

I feel ya on this one.  I'm STILL throwing up every morning and I just feel like a giant cranky pregasaurus rex the whole time.  I know that it's all pregnancy hormones, because last time I was pregnant I felt exactly the same.  As soon as the baby was out I felt so much happier.

Here's my FFFC - I pity people that come on message boards and claim that it's insane that women will lose weight in their first trimester and then post exactly how much they weighed, how tall they were, and what size they wore when they first got pregnant.  Then they claim that everyone who lost weight must have had lots of extra weight to lose.  Doing this just makes me instantly feel sorry for people like this as I realize that they likely have major self confidence and body image issues that they will likely pass on to their children. 

I totally agree! Is it just me, or has there been a ton of those kinds of posts lately? (Especially on 2nd tri).

Same here! The one on the 2nd tri right now made me really angry. If she had worded it differently it would have been ok, like if she was just wondering if there really was anyone else out there who was gaining as much as she was. But instead she bragged about how tiny she is and then went on to insult anyone who wasn't and anyone who is losing or not gaining weight! I'm sorry you feel like a cow now, welcome to my world pre-preg! We get it, you are a skinny mini and you want people to understand that and justify why you are gaining as much weight as you are (not that the weight she has gained is bad, if I was that tiny I probably would have gained that much by now but I"m not, I started off over weight).

Basically. She started out at one a year for a few years then they'd last two or three years. Her latest is 11 years, the longest by a long shot. DH said something to the effect of the pattern made her look retarded (literally) and that someone should have intervened since she clearly had no idea what she was doing. I'm inclined to agree that there's something seriously wrong with her mental/emotional development.

Preach! I am MISERABLE. I was telling H last night -- the vomiting, pregnant rhinitis, constipation, hemmies, sciatic pain and headaches MIGHT not be so bad if my hormones weren't making me nucking futs. It's like a whole other level of misery when EVERYTHING either pisses me off or makes me cry. I will feel SO much better when the baby gets here!

second confession today NPR....

I just bought tix to go see Cesar Milan (the Dog Whisperer) speak and I'm super excited about it.  My DH is amazed daily at the level of my nerdiness.....

Oh, and I have another one.  Those crazy preggo horomones?  I have been so good about not taking them out on DH, but I just realized I have been taking them out on my dogs.  My poor babies, they can't do anything right these days!  They are always in the way or won't stop licking, or won't stop scratching at the door, or won't come, too hyper...  I'm going to give them a scratch behind the ear now and tell them I'm sorry

 OMG! THIS!! The cat too! I need to lighten up. My poor furbabies...

I cannot remember the last time MH and I had sex. I literally have no idea. And the kicker? I'm still not interested in doing it. MH has been really supportive but I know he wants to but he doesn't want to make me do something I have no interest in doing. I've determined that I will do my best to do it tonight AND be interested. I gotta do it for him.

Sorry if that was TMI, but I feel much better getting it off my chest. Thanks, ladies!

I could care less about sex too. I think we've done it like 3 times since I got pregnant.

We haven't had sex once since getting pregnant. For a long time it was because my m/s was in the evenings. I couldn't even stand to kiss H because I would gag. This last week I have finally felt better and like I could "do it". But I need to go to bed around 9:30 or I fall asleep on the couch, H always stays up until 11 or so. Well what the heck can I do then?! He knows I need to go to bed early but he wont get ready early too.  He has been really great about it, only complaining from time to time, but he really isn't making it any easier.

We haven't had sex since conception.  With all the first-tri symptoms, I wasn't really up for it anyway.  I've been more in the mood the past couple weeks though, and dh is too tired or whatever.  It's kinda depressing, because I know once I hit third-tri, I won't be interested again.  Now is the time, but I don't foresee it happening any time soon. :-/

My confession is I worked really really hard to get my body back after having DS, and I am sad I have to go through the whole process again.
Happy that I'm pregnant, yes...but sad I need to get my body back again and recover from yet another c-section.

Whew I made it in & still on Friday (here anyways)

 

My confessions are-

1. I hate being pregnant. I hate being sick all the time. Tonight I went out to dinner with my family & puked like 4 times between leaving the house & getting home. Really fun to explain to my niece & nephew.

2. I'm mad that my SIL doesn't want anything to do with her kids. She annoys me & I think she's on drugs, seriously.. her & my brother have problems with drugs. Gross & pisses me off.

3. DH & I have decided that this is going to be our only child. I'm fine with that, but I always wanted to foster a child if I was financially able.. and I was devastated last night to hear him say that it's something he really wouldn't want to consider.

4. I want this baby to be a girl. I'll be shocked if it's not. And less excited.

I had a little cryfest yesterday when I came to the huge realization that my life won't ever be the same. I won't get to whisk away to happy hours after work and stay for as long as I want. Or randomly go out downtown with my husband without worrying what time we need to be home. We won't get to take a last minute trips to anywhere just because we want to. I know we'll still be able to do this kind of stuff, but I know it won't ever be the same. It's sad to see things change and even though I know I won't miss it when my sweet baby comes. This baby means more to me than any of that stuff, but it's hard to say goodbye to the careless days. 

 

I feel you girl! I felt really guilty about feeling this way a month or so ago, but I've been there so don't feel bad.
