FFFC!

Okay ladies, let's hear your confessions! What's irking you this week? Anything to confess?

Here's my confession. Despite every effort, diet and exercise, to control my weight, I've already gained a whopping 44lbs and I'm only 30 weeks. I'm absolutely hating myself for it! I've met with a nutritionist who said I just need o implement minor changes, like, switching from 2% to 1% milk. My diet is actually good. Last night my MW made me feel like utter crap about it saying that I need to slow it down as I still have 10 weeks to go. As if I don't know that?! However, the only suggestion she had was to try swimming. I'm walking as much as possible, 45 minutes every other day or two, due to severe pelvic pain. The reason for the pain is because my pelvis joint has already opened and split as she confirmed last night. I feel utterly defeated. I lost a bunch of weight prior to pregnancy and was a fit 150lbs at 5'7. A large part of me is ready for pregnancy to be over so I can get back into my size 8's!!!

Oh my gosh, I'm sorry you're feeling this way! I think sometimes we just have to listen to our bodies and not stress about the weight. I love my midwives because I don't have to step on the scale once! As long as your not eating junk all day I would not stress! You may totally taper off in your last few weeks. I do have to say that swimming was the best when I was pregnant last time. It feels so good to be "weightless." good luck!!

DH has been a complete asshat all week because he hasn't been feeling well. I"m not looking forward to him going on this east coast trip, and wish I would have just continued to tell him my aunt said it was too expensive for him to come so I could spend a week away from him. Ugh. Why are men such franking babies when they are sick?

LO got her flu shot yesterday and wasn't feeling well and was really crabby waking up every 2 hours last night. He biitched every time she made a sound.

Thats just one thing on the laundry list of asshat-tastic things he's done this week.

Wednesday night he called me from the bathroom and was all upset because it was out of tp. I told him there was nothing I could do for him since I wasn't home and maybe he should check the tp before he uses the bathroom next time.
Truth is, I was downstairs.

Hugs! I'm sorry you're feeling like this. To be honest, I think as long as you're eating healthy and trying to walk as much as possible, that you should try not to worry about it. I know, easier said than done. A friend of mine was about your size and she gained over 50 lbs and her OB basically said that some women just gain more and that as long as she wasn't eating a ton of junk food all day, every day, that she wasn't concerned. Her daughter is almost three months old now and she is almost completely back to pre-baby size. Oh, and I kind of want to punch your MW, tell her to leave you alone :-)

 .... My confession - I think I'm starting to deal with depression. I can't get out of this funk more than to take care of my kid and my anxiety is starting to kick up. My OB wants me to wait to start back on Zoloft until right after delivery, but I'm beginning to worry that I'm going to have a breakdown soon.

I confess that I've been pretty dramatic about some stuff lately.  There is just ONE part of my life that I'm not content with.  With all the blessings I have, I'm an idiot for letting that one thing control my emotions and attitude.  It's a big one thing, but still.

I hate cleaning at the best of times, and procrastinate at it. My back hurting every time I have to bend over to clean something is NOT helping! I feel bad, because I'm a housewife, and DH is expecting me to get things done around the house, but... :-/ It's hard, and it's SO difficult to get even the least motivated.

I really want to pregnant again but not have another baby! I know weird! But I loved feeling the baby move and kick, the anticipation. I know there is no way to do that so it's not really a confession!

NicoleD0516

Thanks ladies! I sort of wanted to punch her too. Too bad she's the main MW at the Swedish MW group. I'm going swimming tonight. I just pray my chubby bum and huge stomach fit into the maternity swimsuit I bought in June.

lkes- I would ask about what you're able to take now. I know that there are a few options. Sending hugs your way, it can't be easy dealing with that and pregnancy hormones. 

cupcake- I think I would have done the same thing. Why are they so stinking helpless at times?

You are going to be okay! I was talking to my BFF the other day and she gained over 55 pounds with her pregnancy (ate okay, but couldn't get in to the gym due to smells). After the birth she lost it all and even is thinner than before her pregnancy- she looks GREAT and I'm sure you will too. I bet that you will love swimming!

My confession is that I haven't been good to my own body this week- eating crap, skipping workouts, sips of wine, a few tuna sandwhiches. I've been bad at work too- slacking off more than I would ever think acceptable. On top of that I just want time alone- I wish DH would just go somewhere for a week so that I could have the house to myself. I feel like I want to mope around a bit, but don't want anyone to see. Must be hormones?

ATT&BTT

Because DH didn't put the checks in the credit union when I asked him to now we have two $25 overdraft fees!   I HATE it when I ask him to do something and he doesn't realize there is a timeline! When I ask him to do something I want him to do it!  GRRRRRR.  He thought it could wait a day because he was too tired. We are living from paycheck to paycheck there is no waiting a day!  *sigh*

Nicole- I did water aerobics and it was pretty cool.  It was pre-pg, but would be just as good during.  Getting in the water every few days felt great.  I have bad feet/ankles and can't do much exercise that's weight bearing. GL! 

Kami- No words of advice, but lots of hugs coming to you, girlie!!

My confession is that I can't stop drinking pop.  I stopped drinking all carbonation for like 10-12 years.  The bubbles always make me feel awful.  During pg, I craved Coke so badly I gave in and had no trouble. WTF?  So, I drank it assuming once it bothered me after baby, it would be easy to stop again.  Not so much.  Now that I'm not pregnant, I'm still wanting pop and it's back to bothering my system most of the time.  The worst part is not having a Coke a few times per week (that's about how often I drink it), but it's a gateway drug for me.  Drinking Coke make me want chocolate and McDonalds and cookies, etc.  I just had a medium Coke with my JITB meal (also a splurge) for lunch and, since I'm trying to give up M&M's again, I just ate a handful of cookies. :-P

I have been craving Pepsi like it's nobody's business! I didn't want soda at all before about 25 weeks... 

And I will say that I like swimming while pregnant, it definitely is nice feeling weightless! Be forewarned that your belly will feel super heavy after you climb out of the water :-)

I am exercising at least 5 days a week and seeing no progress, this for almost a month now. Alright, I am exaggerating. I am seeing progress, but I want to see more and fast! I know that I just need to stick with it.. sigh..

Is your sons name middle name Danger??? If so, one of my good friends son has the exact same first and middle name!

mertense

I laugh every time dd says no. She shakes her head back and forth and sticks her hand out while saying it. It is so funny to see but I know I shouldn't laugh as it might reinforce her bad behavior, usually I tell her no and she says it back.

Amylynne1542

His name is Finnigan Danger! You are kidding me, right?!?! Am I the friend, and you just don't know it? LOL. I have been meeting more and more people who know babies named Finnigan, but I have never met anyone who had the same middle name!

This is so me right now too.  It is your house? It's my house. I love my house but I could love another house. If I wasn't trapped in this house. SO I resent this house sometimes.

No, for me it's not being able to have a second child. I'm sure that if I don't make an effort to change my attitude that if we are ever able to conceive, it will just transfer into something else (probably the house   We are trapped, too.).  I think I need to work REALLY hard at just being thankful for the great life I have.  I want Tman to grow up being thankful and if he sees us that way, maybe it will rub off.

I just started a new job and both of my confessions are related to it:

1. I'm practically counting the days until I would qualify for FMLA if I got pregnant, I feel kind of bad but one of the big motivators for finding a new job was so we could have a baby with much less stress in our lives. My last job was pretty awful and I brought it home quite a bit. My life overall has improved a lot since leaving it though!

2. One of my new coworkers is SO annoying. He drops names all day long - if I have to hear about "Bill" and "Melinda" one more time I'm going to scream (and I'm pretty sure he has never even met either of them, just worked at Microsoft briefly).

How crazy!!! Her son is 5, so you're definitely not the same person!
