When I'm pg, I can't sleep without snuggling my pillowpet. Yes, I have a pillowpet- the gorilla one.

I have a Dr appt today and I am mad I arranged it for 1:15pm because now I will miss my nap. How sad is that?? lol

Driving into work today, the buttons on my blouse popped open four times (across belly & boobs).  How did it go from fitting ok at home, to popping buttons when sitting in the car??  No way could I hide a straining shirt at work, especially since I get bigger by the end of the day.  Not wanting to drive all the way back home in AM traffic, I pulled into the Target near my office and just bought a new top.

I confess it's super fun coming out at work with a lesbian pregnancy.

Coworker:  "So, was the baby planned?  Oh, wait, yeah, I guess it was.  It kind of had to be, huh?"

Also, most people expect me to be the pregnant one, because I'm the femme and my partner is butch.  Surprise!

Ok, that does sound like fun! Haha, i love throwing people off.
Totally innocent question, how did you decide who would carry the baby?

I confess to enjoying my time away from FI while he is home and miserable after having his wisdom teeth out the other day. He is a miserable f*ck when he is in pain and I always feel like he expects me to do something about it, so I wind up just get more p!ssy. I'm pretty sure he's got dry socket because he didn't follow the post-operative care properly. On top of everything, we are trying to buy a house and it's been a nightmare. This seems more like a vent than a confession after I typed it all out, I really do love him, but honestly, sometimes I think it would have been easier just to stay single and not even bother dating at all! It's like dealing with a big child some days. Hmph.

I confess i have not washed a single dish since getting a BFP. Poor hubby.
I'm normally really against anything disposable, but i think I'm going to go buy a bunch of paper plates to eliminate the dish problem.

Hubby has been doing the laundry and he had to work late all this week. I didnt feel like doing the laundry the other day so stopped at VS on my way home and bought a weeks worth of new undies and some bras, then stopped at Macys and picked up trouser socks for me, boxers for him and a couple of towels to make it through Saturday.

This. I think I've been on the boards for too long, but I'm always irked that it's not FFFC. 

Even if the first two aren't necessary for there obviously being untrue.

I ate fast food on 3 separate occasions yesterday. I really need to go grocery shopping...

Nothing wrong with sleeping with a stuffed friend.  I sleep with a stuffed owl I got at Pier 1.  I claimed to buy it for the future nursery but I am the one sleeping with it.  Don't know if I will be able to give it up in a few months!

I slept with a pooh bear until I was 28, the only reason I got rid of it was that it reminded me of someone I no longer wanted to be reminded of and it was really difficult to give him up. I just have extra pillows to sleep with now, but it's not the same.

My own confession: I haven't been to work on time all week, even the day I got up an hour early because I couldn't sleep. Luckily my boss doesn't really care.

But did you differentiate? I ate Subway for dinner Wednesday night, breakfast yesterday morning and because they have their BOGO on 6", I got a 6" for lunch yesterday too.

We're going out of town this weekend for my cousin's baby shower and another family event. I am not looking forward to it. I should be; my family is great but I'm so tired and not feeling awesome these days. Plus car trips are always rough on DD and it's a 4 hour drive each way. We'll have to sleep in a hotel room with her and I know she won't sleep well with us in there. I feel guilty for feeling this way, but I really wish I could back out. Sigh.

It's not your kid so it's not your decision!  It's audacious and rude and if anyone came up to one of the safety freak moms and said something about how they parent they would be pissed.

I agree to a certain extent. I'll side eye it all day long, but I've never considered telling someone off. I assume they're just trying to do their best by their kids and assume they're less informed.  

I'm trying to think of a life or death situation where I'd actually same something, but can't think of any.  

Mrs.Leah.Maria

I bought an adorable Old Navy grey tweed vest yesterday for $20! Score! *except the final total including the navy cords, long sleeve thermal and two shirts for the boys was $65.

Easy-peasy: 

My partner is 32.  I'm 42 and had a hysterectomy when I was 29

so, she was the obvious choice.

Never. Mwahahahaha.

My confession: DH and I haven't had sex since we concieved. I feel fine, no m/s, just tired and no desire. None. I want to for DH, but I could live without sex for the next year if I had to. I have no idea how to get back into it. First off, because ... I don't really want to, but I have to for DH. Poor guy.

Ha ha, that's quite funny.

Mrs.Leah.Maria

Yesterday, I only went to the bathroom once at work. I really need to start drinking more water, it just made me queasy for so long. I know that I only went once, around 2:00pm, because I was shocked to see what underwear I was wearing. I primarily dress in the dark, but was certain I'd put on another pair. Imagine my surprise.

Mrs.Leah.Maria

mirroredimage:

The only time I think it's ok is if the kid is in immediate danger.  For example, if a parent isn't paying attention and a toddler is standing up in the front of the cart (where you're supposed to be seated and strapped in) and is falling out I think a stranger has every right to keep that child from falling and mention that maybe the kid should be in back with the groceries or whatever.

That's a good example.

This was me yesterday. No leftovers for lunch + no groceries = fast food lunch (I did make a healthy choice of a grilled chicken wrap ). Then I didn't get home until late and had DH pick up dinner (a very not healthy choice of Wendy's). AND since no leftovers today, guess who's having a fast food lunch AGAIN! Ugh. We REALLY need to meal plan in advance and do some grocery shopping, but since we're away this weekend, and the stores are closed on Monday I don't know when I'm going to do that. Blah.

I'm trying to think of a life or death situation where I'd actually same something, but can't think of any.  

I'm tempted to say something when I see a kid buckled into his carseat using only the bottom latch and not the actual 5 point harness, but I chicken out every time.

Ooglybear

mirroredimage:

It bothers the crap out of me that moms (especially new moms) are all judgy about other moms safety decisions.  I can't tell you how many times I read posts about whether or not someone should go up to a mom and say that they shouldn't have the car seat on top of the cart or that the child should be RF until 2, not 1 and that the child really shouldn't be wearing such a puffy coat because the harness won't fit tight enough.

It's not your kid so it's not your decision!  It's audacious and rude and if anyone came up to one of the safety freak moms and said something about how they parent they would be pissed.

I know a mom who (IMO) makes some seriously questionable choices, but I keep my mouth shut. Not my place. But I do give it and internal sideeye and make a note to tell my sister about it later.

My partner and I are the same - I'm the femme one and people are very surprised she is the pregnant one. 

I was shocked when a colleague of mine (who happens to be gay) asked if it was planned!!! What?? lol.  My partner and I laugh about this all the time.

My confession - it drives me nuts when people say things like, "OMG my baby is (2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months) old!   Slow down!!"

Or something to that effect.  Seriously?  2 weeks?  Or even 2 months or 9 months or whatever?  Tell that to someone with a 10, 15, 20 year old.  Your baby is young as sh*t.  Enjoy it and quit whining because they're "already" 3 months old. (or whatever age)   If your kid is in preschool or younger, they're not old.  At all.

Another one, I think it's weird when couples share a FB page.  "ChrisandJenny Smith" or whatever.  Insecure much?  And then you never know who is the one posting/commenting etc. and it's just odd.

This makes me feel better. Yesterday, on my way home from work, I went thru a Wendy's drive thru and got a 1/2 lb double cheese burger and devoured the entire thing.  It was so yummy and then I went home and slept for 3 hours.  Shhhh....my husband doesn't know about the burger   When he got home, I reheated left overs for him.

I hate this! You are your own person you don't need to share! If one or the other spouse doesn't have/use a facebook they don't need to be tied onto yours.. Ugh

I hate it when people are like "My baby is 22 months old."  I know it's a thing but it irritates me.  Jack will be a year, 18 months, and 2.  If it's between those ages it will be "he was 1 in February, he's almost 18 months, he'll be 2 soon."  Its just a pet peeve of mine but I know it will never change.

Agreeeeeeeeee! I cannot agree more. I know a girl on FB, "My daughter is 57 weeks old!" or "My son is 28 months"... no. That's not how it works.

My confession is that tomorrow we're helping my BIL and his *unt girlfriend move and I'm telling them I'm still on pelvic rest and have a 25lb lifting limit so I won't be able to help much. I'm sorry that I'm not sorry.

 I hate that people ask that anyway. I mean, I like saying yes, but does it really matter? But this is hilarious that they asked you that!

This is a lot like my UO from yesterday. I'm really surprised no one touched it since I basically called everyone who judges another parent a hypocrite (myself included - though I'm working on it).

Edit -  It's probably because I suck at math and the mathematic effort is just too much for me.

Haha, I agree.  I definitely round to the nearest year or half year.

My husband worked super late last night on a side job, so I sat at home and PIGGED OUT! My son and I had Taco Bell. I ate 2 crunchy supreme tacos, steak enchirito, and a seven layer burrito (though I didn't eat ALL of that) and then I sat and ate 2 tomatoes, frozen Greek yogurt, and some cheese. Now my stomach is queasy today. But it all tasted so good.

I finally cooked dinner for my husband for the first time in weeks on Wednesday, (poor husband living off mac & cheese) but since we had not gone grocery shopping in weeks.. we didn't have much. 
But the dinner tasted so good (chili tot bake is what I like to call it) I stopped at the store on my home yesterday to get more chili... nothing else.. and made the exact same thing for dinner last night.
If it wasn't for pizza Friday, I might be making it again... :S

This is mine too. I don't understand this weird baby metric system.
