FFFC

kikis first

txleia:

My in-laws are the no-boundaries type. We had to establish a call-first rule when DS was born. While I was pregnant and DH and FIL were remodeling our kitchen, I would frequently come home from work around 3pm to find my ILs (yes - both of them - my MIL would sit on the couch and read while FIL worked) there, and they wouldn't leave until supper time. I felt trapped. 

 I could have written this myself... why does the MIL come and spend all day sitting while they work? I never got this, I would have taken the opportunity to do something else besides sit at my kids house all day doing nothing!

I'm wearing pajama jeans today because it's like having a built in bella band! I'm comfy and I like the way they look!

Omg, I might have to get some of these =D

I am positive I can feel a lil bump. They were able to do a tummy u/s, and she said it was my uterus, so there. I also do not plan to go grocery shopping, just go to the store when I know what I want, lol.

Ladies, make sure you're sitting down for my FFFC because it's quite shocking and could lead to the destruction of my girl card. I hate pinterest. There, I said it. I just don't see what the big deal is. You click on something and then have to keep clicking things and sometimes you have to scour entire new sites to maybe find what you're looking for. It's like google with pictures. But it's much much crappier. Hands over my girl card.

Same here.

Ok here's mine and I know I'm way late but here goes...

1. For the past 2 1/2 weeks(since I started having ms) my DS has been in front of the tv for 8 hours a day.every.day. I feel soooo guilty and can't wait until I start to feel better again so I can make up for lost time with him.

2. I kicked MH out of our bedroom and made him sleep in our spare room because I am just not sleeping well at night. When he was sleeping in our room he would keep me up with his snoring. I was just so exhausted and desperate one night for sleep that I asked if he could sleep in there that night. Well I finally got the rest I needed and even felt like it helped my ms to let up a little the next day that I told him that he's staying in there until the end of this trimester!

I want to make a wager with him that as much as I gain during this pregnancy he has to lose. But I know it will hurt his feelings so I haven't said anything yet.

Unfortunately, it might hurt his feelings, but if he is continuing to gain, at what point is he going to have a wake up call?

I'm not sure how you communicate in your marriage, but with DH and I, it is out of respect for each other that we try to stay fit. He needs to have respect for himself, you and your future and make his health a priority. And that unfortunately will involve some awkward conversations and potentially hurt feelings. ie refrain from saying you're repulsed by him.

Does he like sports? Does he have a history of being active? What is his work situation that he's gone so much? What are his eating habits like? It may be the last thing you want to do, but you will need to support changes. 

I agree with PP...you definitely need to say something, just how is the question. Does he eat out a lot? It sounds like he's not home a lot since you rarely see each other? Is it because he works night shift or something? Can you start making him healthier meals to bring to work? Suggest going out for walks together or bike rides. It is a touchy subject...by try to address it like you want him to be healthy for himself and for your future children. 

I'm all too familiar with this. MH has had weight problems for 6 years now (he got discharged from the Navy because of his weight). Up until about a year ago we fought so much about his weight. MH would hate hearing about what I'd have to say about it. But the last time I said anything was a year ago and I approached it by telling him that I was concerned for his health and our family's future. A year later he is finally beginning to take action against his weight (counting calories, walking, and bike rides). Honestly, (and I'll get flamed for this, I'm sure) but I would bring it up to him one last time with the approach of you being concerned for his health and being around for the kids and leave it at that. Now of course indiscreetly encourage a better lifestyle for him (wanting to go on walks just to get out of the house). I just found once I stopped "nagging" mh was when he started thinking about it more. Also, I know that mh is just tired of fealing unhealthy and has gotten to that point where he has had enough of it. 

Good luck with him. Don't take it personal that he's overweight through. I did and it just put an unneccessary amt of stress on us.
