I have zero motivation to get things organized to set up the nursery.  I have all these great ideas, but none of the "nesting" impulse to actually get it done. 

We did order the furniture and it arrives today and Monday, so I have no choice but to get it done I suppose...

I'm sick of my boobs leaking.

I lied to my MIL about being to feel the baby. I know she desperately wants to feel her move, and in a Coase Theorem sense it costs me less to let her than the joy she would get out of it, but I just don't want anyone but DH sitting around, hand on my belly, waiting for fetal flails. So I just told her she can't be felt yet due to my anterior placenta, even though DH has been able to feel her for a week.

Im standing up in an outdoor wedding tomorrow. Need I say more?

 

Oh- and I tried on my dress for the first time (since bring it home) a few nights back... When I asked my DH how I looked (in my Davids Bridal Horizon Blue dress) he said:

DH: Honestly?

Me: Of course!

DH: Like Violet

Me: Violet?

DH: Yeah- the one who turned into a blueberry in Willy Wonka...

Gee, thanks sweetheart. Haha, actually I was really impressed that he remembered her, and what movie she was from. Im just not looking forward to being a hot, sweaty, blueberry-looking mess, outside in heels tomorrow. 

Guess this is more of a B&M. Whatev.

I am at the point where I hate hearing about all the good, AWing things that are happening to people. Your sex life is great? Well fan-frucking-tastic for you, mine sucks. You just loooove being pregnant? Some of us DON'T. You aren't gaining weight? BITE ME.

 I'm tired, uncomfortable, and feel huge. I want to cry all the time. I'm sad that I'm not enjoying being pregnant. I'm sad that things will never go back to 'normal' (before pregnancy/having a baby). I'm sick of the mood swings, and people touching my belly. I'm actually annoying the piss out of myself by being so completely annoyed by everyone and everything else. I want ME back. Uggh.

Did anyone see the video of the 9yr old boy beating up toddlers and even an 11 month old at that daycare?

I confess that I don't think the teacher should be up on charges, but the parents of that boy...  at 9 years of age I just wonder what goes on at home that he would behave in such a monsterously horrible manner and can't help but blame them.

Ehhh, may be their fault but something like 4% of the population has been estimated to be psychopaths or sociopaths and parents can't do anything to make sociopaths not act sociopathic. And doctors won't even diagnose it in children so it's not like there is good therapy or support out there for those parents.

We are going to the ILs this weekend, and I am secretly excited because MIL will watch DS and dote on him... and I can put my feet up and relax.

Oh yea, and we get lots of good home cooking that I don't have to do!   

rachael_c26

I just ate a biscuit with bacon and one poptart for breakfast...

I will probably eat the other poptart to the package in like thirty minutes. I'm over trying to eat healthy stuff, I'm pretty sure. And I'm done (for now) with caring about my weight gain. I mean, I'm already over where I intended to be at this point, so eff it.

Also, I'm out of panty liners... and I can soooo feel the nastiness rubbing between my thighs. Ugh. Gag.

 

Update: I'm eating the last poptart NOW!

I am in a wedding at 36 weeks (yes, 36 weeks!) and will be wearing blue.  DH has already started the violet jokes...

 I'm in one at 36 weeks, but at least my dress is black.  Except maybe I will just look like Shamu.  LOL.

I'm also in a wedding at 36 weeks, and the dress is ACTUALLY purple. Like a wine color. Sooo shexyyy. BUT I'll only be a fatty still if baby stays in that long! Apparently my cervix is just no good for holding in baby. (see other post from yesterday) So I could be a Violet or toting a newborn at my sisters wedding. Which she will not be thrilled with. I've recieved specific instructions to keep him in there because this is her day not mine. Blah.

I HATE my job. The people are terrible. They tell me I'm sensitive b/c I'm pregnant when they don't want to accept responsibility for their lack of organization, disrespect, etc. But, I'm temp to hire, and 6 months pregnant, and I know I wont be able to find anything else between now and then. When my volatile boss blows up on me, I just stand there with my heart thumping and baby kicking like crazy and I feel like crap! Hoping I can hang in til November.

JulieN0704

Just because our son doesn't have a name yet doesn't mean I want YOU to name him, every person I talk to. I don't need your suggestions. They suck, and we've already ruled them ALL out.

Looks like I'm feeling more B&M today too, I guess.

 This. All of this.

Plus, I get annoyed the most when I see pregnant women doing/saying stupid things.

Yes, going to a mosh-type concert with lots of booze and people smoking all around you, whilst they elbow your middle sounds completely safe.

 Snarky.

I've already gained most of my pregnancy weight already and I don't really care. I was a healthy weight before pregnancy. My blood pressure and sugar levels are fine. I eat when I am hungry and I exercise. I just happen to be hunger all day and get nauseous if I don't constantly eat. It drives me crazy to see posts like I've gain 9lbs at 25 weeks is that too much. IMO either they are completely ignorant as to what is normal or (most likely) they are attention whores. 

JoyHerbie2011

I'm kinda pissed and hurt that my DH isn't as supportive as I thought he would be. The first time I was pregnant I was a single mom so I didn't have anybody to lean on going through my pregnancy.  This is my second pregnancy and DH's first child so I thought I could really lean on him through these rough hormones and aches and pains.  Yea...not so much.  Makes me sad all day long.

I have another one. (I didn't even know this was needing to be confessed until I found this site)...

 

I ALWAYS stand up when I wipe... for #1 or #2.

I feel like it'd be a dangerous adventure to try to wipe while still sitting down. And I wipe A LOT... I hate the idea of something being left behind.

My poop is ohana.

I just realized something about myself:

I hate it when people stare at my bump.  But, I totally do it to other pregnant women...

Thank your poops for me, because I just laughed so hard at this that I almost peed myself.

Since becoming pregnant, I've done almost nothing but talk sh!t about America and their lack of paid maternity leave. Canada gets a YEAR......PAID!!!! I work for a company of 7 people so I'm not even protected by FMLA to take unpaid time if I wanted it. UGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! How is 6 weeks enough time?!?!?! It's simply NOT!!!

I can completely sympathize with you.  I have been excited from day 1 about being pregnant but Just recently has my feelings started to be a little more positive and I have switched my thinking to "roll w/ the punches" instead of thinking "what life will never be like again".  I also get tired of people saying, "awe, once you hold your sweet little girl you'll be sooo happy". Who said I wasn't going to be HAPPY??? LOL I know there are alot of moms who have swore they would maintain a balanced life but then motherhood just consumes them. I'm hoping I can find a way to make this happen!!!  Anyways... best wishes and I hope things get better for you!

 Eee! This is my favorite picture of her that we have. It's from 2 years ago so she's a little bigger now, but I don't even care. She's precious. Your dogs are pretty darn cute, too.

 I have another FFFC I just thought of:

We have had the same vacuum for 4+ years and I just figured out how to clean the filter. Usually I just leave it for DH to do because I don't even know how to work all the parts on the stupid thing and I feel like he'd kill me if I asked such a silly question. He was right, he really DOES do most of the vacuuming in our house. Whoops.

Families who have children provide an important public service. Society only wants to not support us through maternity leave, but also to roll their eyes when we travel on airplanes (someone literally told me today it's rude to fly with kids) and generally act annoyed that we dare ensure there is a future generation.

The only FFFC I can think of, other than me screwing up my own paycheck is that I am eating......DUN DUN DAH, McDonalds for dinner tonight!!!

2 McDoubles(no Onion), Fries w/ S.Sour Sauce and a Root Beer! You know you love it!

Ohhhhh, I get it now. And yes, I agree. And then stretch parents so thin trying to work and pay for childcare, provide a nice home, cook square meals every night....trying to do it ALL and then get called "bad parents" because of one thing people disagree with. It makes me sick thinking about how screwed up America's family values are.

I don't particularly like children.  I'm excited to be a mom, and I love my child, and my neices and nephews.  Other people's children though, I find them in large part to be annoying and rotten.  I can't wait for school to start back up so I can go to the grocery store on my lunchbreak without it being temper tantrum city.

As someone who teaches children ages 2 1/2-18, I can say that I totally support this FFFC. I think a lot of my dislike for them has to do with crappy parents/parenting though. At least, that's been my experience.

What am I technically, "fourth"ing this?? Either way, I agree.

Except I'm not a mommy yet, nor do I teach little kids...

I've complained of this before though. I don't want to hold other people's kids, or interact with them in general... and I always wonder if people are side-eyeing me while I'm pregnant, wondering if I will feel the same about my own. I won't obviously. I will completely spoil my kid (kids in the future, hopefully)... I know that's a bad notion to already have, but it's true.

It makes me sick thinking about how screwed up America's family values are.  

Since it is FFFC - I will disagree.  I don't think it is soley society trying to screw parents, I think parents are also screwing themselves.  These days families are constantly indulging children and basing values on monetary possesions.  New cars, bigger houses nicer vacations seem to be more important that imagination and quality time with their kids.  Many are choosing to have both parents work to cater to children's every whim and one up the neighbors. When I was a kid, all I needed was a big wheel some neighborhood kids and I was set for a summer day.  We used our imaginations and had a great time.  We didn't need all the fancy electronics or video games to keep us entertained and we did not grow up to be a bratty self entitled generation. 

I know I am making a very and broad general statement and it doesn't apply to everyone.  I realize single parent households have it really rough and the cost of living in certain locations, like where I live in So Cal, make it very difficult to to live off a single income.  I am simply saying you can't blame society 100% for what is happening to our country and screwing up America's family values.

Ok, flame away (but I may not respond, because I won't be near a computer for a few hours)

 

It may be flameful, but I agree.
