Confessions Today!

#1

We are going to my H's grandparents tomorrow, The ONLY reason why I don't mind spending Thanksgiving with them is because we get all our holidays over with at that time. It's like Present extravaganza! We celebrate a small Thanksgiving then we get presents for P for her birthday (Dec 4th), Presents for H's birthday (Dec. 21st) and Christmas. More often than not Christmas presents is in the form of a nice fat check and I can use it on Black Friday Shopping!!

#2

I have to set an alarm to remind me to pick up P from daycare today. I've been off all week and she has gone to school anyways (new and working on getting used to routine) they close early today so I have to remind myself to get her before I get a phone call. I don't want to be "that mom"

I had one earlier and now cannot remember.

I set alarms to remind myself to do things too. I don't always notice time passing.

I'm pissed I missed UO's yesterday and I want that thread to stay alive today. I'm just getting caught up on it.

I never got to read it either. By the time I got home to see it, it was HUGE. I might have to dig through it today and will try to help it stay alive for you.

BostonKisses2:

I'm pissed at the way some of our family members are acting right now about Judith's birthday party, and I'm ready to cancel the whole d?mned thing.

Oh no! What are they doing? Bitching about timing? I feel as though you mentioned something about this but I have forgotten.

I'm seriously considering buying a pair of red glitter pumps.  They are so impractical.  I love them.

Not really a confession but more of a complaint: Last night a bag girl at Publix called me "honey" and "sweetheart" several times during my checkout. She was easily 15 years younger than me and I was irrationally bothered by it. I find it rude and almost condescending when younger people use those type of phrases to people older than them. I don't have a desire to be called "ma'am"....but to me, it would have been more appropriate.

Confession: My wife and I DTD this morning and honestly- it was weird. It was straight up missionary and I swear I felt the baby kick me when my abdomen was pressed up against the belly and it really killed the moment for me.

Everyone told me pregnancy beautiful, but they are all f'ucking liars. It is pretty gross with all of the byproduct, the pregnancy hormones, etc etc etc. I know it is horrible for me to say and I feel a little guilty for saying it. My wife is still beautiful and being pregnant doesn't change that. It just.. I don't know.

She is self-conscience about it and it makes me self conscience and DTD is just a little awkward right now.  

I guess I am the anti-version of the Kinky thread in 2nd Tri yesterday. My wife being pregnant doesn't enhance my arousal. Sorry. 

Although.. +1 for the snail trail. Extra lube never hurts.

Don't feel guilty for feeling this way. I felt this way, and though my husband never said it out loud to me, I am almost certain he felt this way, too.

I decided to forgive my MIL (a few months ago, I said I wasn't going to let her see DS unless she apologized for letting DS eat catshit to see if he really had CFPAN or not) and let her have supervised access to DS.

Say what? I definitely missed something.

I plan on drinking an entire bottle of wine by the time we leave for my mother's house tomorrow. Dinner is at 2pm.

edit: I may lie about going BF shopping tomorrow. I may need to leave early to get in line at Target at 6pm for the 9pm opening. 

RondackHiker

I have one, but still can't remember mine from earlier.

I am lying to my work. They know about the match, and know we find out in March and that DH will start in June.

But I keep telling them that DH loves the programs in this area and will rank them super high, and that isn't true. The two he had in this area are safeties and not great programs. There are much better ones elsewhere, so these two will be ranked low.

We could still end up here, depending on how he is ranked and the computer and all that, but I think the chances are slim. I just don't want to say that. They are talking about raises and promotions and I will keep my mouth shut till I know.

LadyXaverian

I guess if I'm going to comment on other confessions, I should come up with something, too.

Even though I'm off work,  I sent Nora to day care. I have a lot to do that would be hard to get done with her underfoot. Yet, it's 9 a.m. and so far all I have done is Bump while watching the Today Show and eating Panera for breakfast.

So B has finally moved past the point of calling all of her dolls "Baby Betsy."  But the new names she's chosen for them are just ridiculous.  Most recently, their names were Crunchy, Gunjee, and Tunty.

So my (lame) confession is that I know it's just a matter of time before she names one of her dolls Cunty, and I will laugh so hard when that happens, and I will not make her change it to something else.

I am with your husband- I would never say anything to her about it. We still go on date nights, we still cuddle, etc and I am still very much attracted to her. It is just awkward and not as "Hallmark Moment" that everyone has played up to us.

I don't think she even wants to do pregnancy pictures because of how self-conscience she is. I think she will regret it later, but I am not going to press the issue because I can only imagine what you guys go through with pregnancy and how it distorts your self-image.

My DH and DS are leaving tomorrow around 11:00 am for a camping trip. I am so excited for my upcoming alone time. It's my wedding anniversary gift.

I did this during the Match process too- for my own job though.  I ended up where I thought I was going to match, but I didn't want to burn any bridges before I knew what was going on.  It all works out, no worries.

 Although, from experience- don't let your DH post anything about where he matches on social media before you tell your job.  I made that mistake and someone told my DH's job before he did.

Igoo0304:

i don't know how to link to the thread on my iPad. DS has a weird autoimmune condition that MIL didn't believe actually existed because he seems very healthy most of the time. When he was newly diagnosed and still in the crawl-around-and-eat-things stage, she let him eat a small bit of her cat's poo off the floor. She asked if I thought it would put him in the hospital because she wanted to know if he really wouldn't be able to fight off any infections from it. I wasn't going to let her see him until she demonstrated understanding of what she did. I thought she had turned over a new leaf, but it turns out she just got more sneaky in trying to isolate me from DH. 

WTF?

"let me test this theory by putting the life of a child at danger"

To your MIL:

I got pretty tipsy at DS's birthday party this weekend.  Although not as tipsy as DS's uncle, lol.

You should definitely encourage her to.  I didn't want to do any pregnancy pictures (I wasn't self-conscious but I was very superstitious).  I finally caved when we hit 38 weeks and thank goodness I did, because I went into labor 2 days later.  I'm so glad that we did because I seriously can't even conceptualize how big I was, and having those pictures is a nice reminder of how far I've come. 

I love having that marker even though I didn't feel very sexy at the time.  But, not all pictures are about looking sex.

Aw, I hope she changes her mind about pictures. I had a good "Momtographer" friend of mine do them for me. I trust her, and I knew she wouldn't make me do anything I wasn't comfortable with (I didn't do any bare belly, for example), and though I felt and looked like a beluga whale about to deliver triplets, I'm so glad I have those pictures.

Wordsmith226:

Honestly RTV, I do not even know what to do with that confession.  Today, I saw something new on TB.  It's been so long since that has happened. I have officially decided that I like having dudes here.  

Also, if you think pregnancy is glamorous, wait until the post partum stage.  Wowzers.  

Yup, I did a just wait.  I am shaking my head at myself.  But seriously.  Ew.

My confession: I think I am broken.  The little is slowly growing out of things- clothes, gear, etc- and I am irrationally happy to pass it on to someone else.  I am keeping a few special clothing pieces from each girl to eventually make a quilt or pass down to them, but I am not all weepy about cleaning out the newborn stuff. 

ETA: I agree that how you feel is normal, and I think my hubs and i felt the same.  I wasn't trying to imply otherwise- it is just refreshing to see a different angle.  

Truth x 1,000,000.

Also, I haven't been weepy about packing up and giving away clothes. Like you, I saved a few things, but mostly, I'm ready to ship it out as soon as she outgrows it.

Do you want those adorable little pink and white shoes back for Quinn? I'd be happy to send them to you.

LovesMM

I am a hippocrate. We turned P FFing in MH's truck and when she rides in anyone else's car she's usually FFing. But in my car I refuse to turn her. I'm not sure if it's just turning is a PITA and she doesn't mind RFing or because I want her to be as safe as possible when she's in my car. BTW she's 2 on Dec 4th and 25+ lbs.

She's not typically in anyone else's car and if she is, it's not for long periods of time.

#1-DS is 1. I don't see the point in buying him a bunch of crap for his birthday and Christmas, when everyone else will and he won't know the difference.

#2-I hate having sex now, because my PP body grosses me out. DH says he loves it, but if I'm grossed out by it, there's no way he isn't too.

Sometimes I think DH and I would be happier as a couple if we lived far away from our families and only saw them a few times a year.

"lol" has sort of become my way of letting people know I'm joking around or that I found what they said funny (even if I didn't laugh out loud).

My confession is that there is some weird shiit happening in my house lately, but I'm afraid if I acknowledge it out loud, it will get really scary. haha

I'm sorry. If you wanna talk about it, we're here for you. ((hugs))

Oooh, spill it. 

We have been hearing footsteps in our dining room at night. It sounds like little kids running around, but Cailyn is always sleeping during it. The other night, I was just drifting off to sleep when I heard what it sounded like a book slamming into the laundry hamper in our room. Last weekend, Derrek and I heard knocks on t he side of our house from our bedroom. Random thumps and bangs that we've never heard before, etc.

It's freaking weird. I don't know what's going on, but I'm alone until around 2 am when DH gets home, and I'm so scared some nights that I can't even sleep.

 

ETA: There have also been more than one occasion in the past couple of months where I could have sworn one of the kids were crying, but they are sleeping peacefully in their room when I check on them.

Oh, my. Whoa. How scary indeed!

We are going to lock our Facebook walls down the week before so no one accidentally outs us. Monday they tell us he matched, Friday we learn where. I think I may wait till Monday to say. Unless we stay in this area, then I will cry. I mean, tell them right away. I love my job, but hate the crowds and cost of living here.

Whatever dude, I am alight from the glow of within.

I think your confession is totally normal and I don't blame you for it, I'm just really glad my DH doesn't feel that way.

 

My confession, I have a Justin Bieber and a Call Me Maybe station on Pandora. Sometimes I just need some stupid mindless bubblegum pop.

Gracey_Manor Maid

I have two.

1) I feel very disconnected from baby number 2 this time around. I haven't felt movement yet. I don't really look pregnant. I haven't really had symptoms. I don't know if it is because this is the second and I am in a "been there done that" mind set. Or if it is because I have a two year old this time around. It kinda scares me and I worry if this wil continue when the new baby gets here

2) My stepdad's mother (who used to mke me feel like crap when I was a kid) asked him to invite us over for thanksgiving so she could meet penny. he told he no we already have plans. He understands why I feel the way I feel about his mom and is very supportive. But I know it makes him sad. I know he woud love to see us on thanksgiving but he knows since his mom will be there (she kinda just incites herself over) that I don't want to. I love that he accepts and understands my feelings...But I do feel like a bad daughter now that I can't get over things from years ago...

I made chicken provancal the other night. The recipe calls for the chicken to be fried but then remove and discard the skin. I may have discarded the fried skin into my belly. Yum, they should package that ish.

My H definitely feels this way and he does let me know about it.  I don't mind the honesty and I can read him like a book anyways. But definitely don't say anything.

My Pregnancy pictures turned out like crap. I haven't showed the disc to anyone and I mostly blame the new photographer. He did the shoot for free since he needed mat pics for his portfolio. I really hope he didn't use them because no one would hire him after seeing all those chins.

I have this awful habit of chewing on and picking at my lips.  It is really weird and gross.  H hates it and always gets on to me when he catches me doing it, but I don't even realize I'm doing it most of the time!

nanabanana06

RTV, can you exchange with my DH? I can't seem to shake him off of me my whole damn pregnancy and it's flucking annoying. I can't get cuddles or a simple back rub without him getting the wrong idea.

Anyways, my confession is that it's too darn early and DH is snoring next to me. He sounds like a big jowly dog in his sleep. It's seriously pissing me off that I cant get up to pee and not go back to bed thanks to his loud, gross snoring. Makes me want to smother him sometimes.

Libby1978

Kirk, that is super scary.  I would freak the heck out.

SEE! There is never a lame Betsy story.

 

My real confession. I am supposed to go snuggle a baby and have coffee with friends. I also need to go look at another friends crib and have coffee with her. I would rather stay home, play with my kid, clean and bump. I am rarely home anymore and I just want to enjoy it for a couple days.
