FFFC

sparkymcgeee

First of all thank heavens it's Friday. 

My FFFC is that I don't enjoy pregnancy. Not really. There are aspects I like. The first time you feel the baby kick is amazing and of course the take home baby at the end.

I know there are a lot of FTMs here and unfortunately a lot with losses so I hope this doesn't seem insensitive. I just have had a hard pregnancy with my E and a loss before that so I don't enjoy it. I hope this pregnancy is a vastly different experience so I am not miserable for the next 8 months.

FFFC = something something Friday Confession?  sorry, a bunch of these acronyms are new to me!

I believe it's Flame Free Friday Confession... from my days on TTGP.  In my experience, they're rarely flame free, so I avoid them.

I think using HPTs or pictures of HPTs as a way to announce pregnancy is weird. You peed on that. 

ETA: This is more for IRL than on here. I have seen way too many pics of HPTs on Facebook.

I totally agree.  My H suggested taking a picture of my (multiple) HPT and giving them to his parents to tell them.  I shut that down because gross.

I agree with you ladies.

ITA!  I did take pics of mine for me and MH, but I think posting it on my fb wall to announce is just odd.  Because, like you said, you peed on that!

This probably is how everyone feels.  I can't wait for Tuesday to be over so that I will stop getting 20+ political mailings in my mailbox every single day.  This is getting ridiculous.  Use that money to help the red cross care for everyone effected by the Hurricane.  Don't send me something in the mail when it's not going to change my mind and it IS going to go directly into the trash.

To be fair, Mitt Romney and Barack Obama both donated personally to the Red Cross. Mitt Romney also held a food/clothing/hygiene drive which got blasted by the media. Of course they won't disclose how much the donation was for but they are both trying to do their part. I can't say anything for local politicians though.

Oh, I know they did and I think it's awesome that they donated their money and their time!  (The blast of the food/clothing drive was ridiculous though - seriously, let the man do something good).  Yesterday I had 28 mailings.  Only one each for the Presidential candidates that was sent from their campaigns.  It's just ridiculous to get THAT many in one day. BUT I live in VA.  So I guess I should expect it.  I think around 20 of the mailings were for the state races.  And I really think I'm only voting on one or two offices other than President in this election so it makes no sense to get that much junk mail.

I 100% agree. Actually being pregnant doesn't bother me since I don't know what it's like to be "very" pregnant and uncomfortable, it's more the way people act towards you/treat you. The gushing, ohhing and ahhing and nosey questions are just plain annoying.

I promised myself I would not complain no matter how uncomfortable I get this time around because I'll just be thankful to have gotten to that point but if I could go the next 8 months without anyone knowing I would be a happy camper!

I have another. I broke out the mat pants today! They aren't the panel kind. They have a normal waistband that has some elastic. I love these pants. They're from Motherhood btw. I'm so much more comfortable.

I have one...

All I can think about today is getting home and taking my bra off!  My boobs hurt and the only thing that helps is a hot shower and going braless!

I may or may not still be wearing these pants from my last pregnancy. That's okay, right?

I've gained 2 pounds in the past month.  Probably in the past 2 weeks really.  It's too early for pregnancy weight gain so I REALLY need to be watching what I eat better!

I've lost between 3 and 5 this week. I don't feel guilty about it.

I don't keep track of my weight when I'm pregnant. My Dr. monitors it and always tells me I'm good, so I don't stress. I eat decent and drink water so unless she tells me to watch it, I just go about my business.

I bought some summer maternity clothing today- a dress, a shirt, and a pair of shorts- we thought DD would be early b/c of how she was positioned, and she wasn't, so I ended up being 9 months pregnant during a heat wave in a 4th floor apartment- that will NOT happen again.

I kind of feel like I jinxed myself with all this spotting and buying maternity clothes.
