Re: Confessions thread..because we all need one.
Oh I need this today...
1. I don't drink enough ever!
2. I faked a headache last night...
3. I'm so happy that we are having a baby, but I hate being pregnant so far
oooh fun! Ive been in such a ranting mood lately!
1- I hate that I have to work while being prego, it takes all the fun out of it and makes my symptoms so much worse
2- My father is driving me crazy because all he wants to do is harass me when I talk to him...how hard is it to be happy
3- I eat too much junk food and not enough veggies
4-I hate the fact that I got prego with no insurance and am now going through the hassle of medical
I confess that...
* The only thing I was able to keep down yesterday was 2 slices of white pizza and 2 chicken wings. Everything healthy came right back up.
* I am emailing clients instead of calling them (as I should) because I just don't have the energy to talk outloud.
* I keep having sex dreams about DH but don't have the energy to do it. Poor fella.
This
1. Like others, I don't drink enough
2. I sitting at work with my pants unbuttoned
3. I have really bad post nasal drip and it's gross
4. I had dessert everyday last week (I know I'm a pig)
5. I haven't worked out since finding out I'm pg.
I confess...
1. everyday, I am looking for a good reason to call off work, just to stay home and sleep all day.
2. But then, I remember that my children are home for the summer break and I hurry up to get out of bed to go to work!
3. I have been craving a cigarette and starbucks almost everyday
4. I love DH, but can't stand the idea of sex right now
* I am huge. My stretchy denim shorts that normally are big on me are currently unbuttoned, and unzipped.
* I want to kill my MIL. If she asks me "How are you feeling?", tells me one more pregnancy story about how she felt perfectly fine during her pregnancy, or touches my belly again, there may be spilled blood.
* I haven't drank any water. At all. Just juice, milk, and ginger ale. My fridge isn't hooked up to the water line yet (yay renovations), and I don't want to drink faucet water.
* I still have no idea how to tell my new job (starting on Monday) that I am pregnant. This is causing me undue amounts of stress.
Kind of this... but I am secretly bitter that because DH and I are married, and they count both of our incomes, we don't get any breaks - and trust me we don't make a lot. Others that I know who were in equally as committed relationships but not legally married are saving the $8,000 - $20,000 this is going to cost us because they claim "single mom" status. I am all for those who are truly in need getting help but I feel that some get to cheat. I am terrible and shallow.
1. I haven't worked out in a month.
2. I eat enough carbs to feed a small country.
3. I am sitting at my desk with my pants unbuttoned.
4. I hate that I feel the sickest and crappiest at work, but since I haven't told work yet I have no one to complain to.
5. I like lurking on the other boards; they're pretty interesting!
* I feel so bad that I am a sahw and dh has been having to cook and help clean
* Even if my belly is just bloat I still think it's cute!
* I see people's insurance posts and am so happy that my husband is in the Navy and I don't have to pay a cent to have this baby.
* I am getting tired of all the negative energy by people being so focused on something bad that might or might not happen when they have no control over it and worrying does nothing to stop it!
I haven't been very good lately. I confess that. . .
1. I haven't been eating healthy. At all.
2. I spend more time browsing on TheBump than actually working.
3. I'm sitting at my desk with my pants completely undone.
4. I got in late and am leaving early.
oh boy....
i've been buying baby toys and books for about a year now. i have half a closet filled with them already. i have some unisex onesies and other thematic items too (little tshirt and socks with my husband's college logo on them)
i'm only 3 1/2 weeks pregnant with my first. i went a little psychotic with buying items pre-preg.
also.... i've been eating a lot of food lately (like in the past few months) and am sporting a little belly now. i'd love to blame the baby but that's just ridiculous at this point. it's fat, it's not baby. still, it's nice to know i have an official excuse for my swine-like eating behaviors as of late
ooh, this is fun!
I confess...
* I think about having a glass of wine with dinner each night (but don't)
* sex is not an option right now
* my big pants are too tight and I'm pretty sure its just because of my diet and lack of excercise
Hahaha, this is great! I can relate to SO many of these!
-- My diet has reverted to the stuff I liked when I was a kid (read: chicken nuggets, hot dogs, applesauce, cereal, cheese). The worst part, though, is that before I got pregnant, I was a vegetarian!
-- I can't kiss DH. His breath makes me more nauseous than anything else. And he can't have sex w/out kissing. So no making out and no sex for about 8 weeks now and counting.
-- I'm supposed to be working right now. Thank GOD, my company hasn't blocked this website (yet)!
-- I hate telling people I'm pregnant. I don't like it when people congratulate me. Like, me or the baby or both of us could still die. Wait until the baby's born and healthy, then congratulate me.
* I want to kill my MIL. If she asks me "How are you feeling?", tells me one more pregnancy story about how she felt perfectly fine during her pregnancy, or touches my belly again, there may be spilled blood.
this this this this this. She even says hows the baby? Or can you and the baby come over? Its rediculous.
I confess that....
1. I'm not drinking enough water, or eating enough veggies and fruit. And I think I'm sleeping more than I'm actually awake these days (I'm on a stay-cation right now)
2. I've pulled the "I'm cramping, I need to sit" excuse to get out of doing cooking and dishes a few too many times recently.
3. I'm dreading going back to work next week, because my job is very physical and I just don't want to do it.
4. I'm really annoyed that I share my office with 2 other people...no middle of the day naps!
When I saw my mom at 5 and a half weeks along and she ran up and started talking/shrieking to my belly, I wanted to grab her by the neck, pull her up to my face and scream "It doesn't even have ears yet!!"

HAHAHA!! Since becoming pregant, I've turned into a huge b**ch! I almost cussed out a sweet old lady. DH says I remind him of Jordan on Scrubs when she's pregnant, lol.
1. Last night for dinner I ate an entire box of Kraft Mac and Cheese Spirals.
2. I have not been drinking enough water because if I drink water during the day I can't always get away to the bathroom (I'm a teacher--no leaving during class time)
3. I can't take a sick day for the entire year because I currently have just enough leave time to cover me from EDD to the end of the school year.
1. I had a turkey and brie sandwich for lunch. Yes, that's right, lunch meat AND soft cheese. It was fantastic!
2. I'm only 10 weeks and I'm already tired of people always asking, "How are you feeling?"
3. Somewhat related to #2, I hate when I walk in a room and people look at my stomach. There's nothing to see, yet! Just a little extra post-vacation fluff.
4. Like many of you, I'm not drinking enough water.
One more!
5. I like the way my belly feels when I wake up in the middle of the night to go pee. It feels like a hard baby bump. It's really the only thing I like about having to get up EVERY night to go pee.
Love this!
* My diet stinks. Cravings are in full blast and I'm not saying no :P
* I know for a fact that I don't get enough liquids in during the day
* I love knowing that DH and I are going to be mommy and daddy to this precious little baby. But being pregnant up to this point has not been fun.
* I am not drinking enough water.
* I am drinking coffee. It's half-caf. I never even come close to 300 mg/day.
* I really want my parents to offer to pay for maternity clothes, because I want some nice ones.
* I think being pg is okay so far, but I am amazed at how cranky I get. I mean, people in my way in the grocery store, on the road, and in line at the post office have no idea how scared they should be. Of me.
THIS!!!! All of it!
Also:
- I want to kill my BFF because even though she's had no children, she regularly tells me what my doctor says is BS.
- I honestly want my husband to just leave at night and let me relax on the couch without having to snuggle and get lovey. SO not in the mood for being touched period.
- I know I'm having a kid and I still can't manage to convince myself to put anything in my savings account.
I confess...
1) That I def. don't drink enough water. ?All I want is milk.
2) That I love my maternity pants but wish I could afford to buy a few more pairs.
3) That all I want to eat is peanut butter and cereal.
4) That I wish my belly would start getting bigger so I would stop looking fat.
5) That I have not exercised since finding out I was pregnant and have absolutely no desire to do so.?
1) I am fighting the urge to pull out my maternity pants already. They're so much more comfortable when you're bloated. But I made a vow that I am not touching them until at least 10 weeks.
2) I was at TRU this morning with DD and passed through the candy section. I was hungry and SOOOOO TEMPTED to grab some of the spilled gumballs rolling around on the shelves. I didn't do it -- but I seriously entertained the thought.
3) I've felt so awful from m/s that DH and I haven't had sex in a couple of weeks. The drought needs to end. SOON.
DD1, 1/5/2008 ~~~ DD2, 3/17/2010
I confess that...
* I check Facebook and the Nest at work because I can't concentrate without goofing in between projects
* I love the people I work with, but hate working. In fact, I would quit today if I didn't need the paycheck...
* I hate water when I have m/s and wish I didn't have to drink it...
* I love chocolate milk and would drink it all the time if I didn't care so much about my unborn child
Well, I guess I'm the only one who drinks a lot of water, LOL. BUT
1. I've been eating horribly. Carbs, no veggies, very little protein. I can't keep doing this because I have PCOS...this will lead to no good.
2. I'm not getting enough calcium. I need to start drinking milk. I like milk, I've just been gravitating towards juice and kind of forget about the milk. I need to make a better effort. I'm also going to pick up some calcium chews.
3. Work out, what's that? I'm lucky if I take the dog for a walk a couple of times a week. That's the extent of my exercise right now. Since moving, I haven't found a new gym yet that's convenient to either home or work.
4. I finally cut out coffee this week. However, I fully plan on allowing myself a cup on Saturday and Sundays as a treat.
5. I'm a mean *** sometimes to DH but to my credit, he doesn't heed the warnings I give him up front and continues to annoy the crap out of me. That's his own fault. Eventually, he'll learn...he's getting better.
6. I hate work. I don't want to be here at all right now. I just want to take a nap.
1. have had mcdonalds french fries twice this week because its the only thing i want.
2. i definatley need to drink more water.
3. i am mad that i had to wait 4 weeks between appts from going from the RE to my regular OB. i miss seeing the baby so often. i feel like im in limbo cos i dont know what is going on anymore. i miss my RE.
4. i hate my job.
Love this!
I confess that...
*Being pregnant so far has not been fun
*I eat peanut butter sandwiches and fruit loops daily.
*I had a Route 44 Dr. Pepper and Chilli Cheese fries from Sonic yesterday and they were delicious! I want more today!
LOL! Thank you all....I SOOO needed this today.
1. I have had coffee a couple times this week. .
2. I am not eating like I should-lucky to keep anything down.
3. While I am soooo excited to be pregnant, this nausea and vomiting thing HAS GOT TO GO SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to lose my mind!
Ahhhh....I feel better.
Here I go!
I had a cold turkey sandwich yesterday, and today. Unheated. It's all I want!
I've been drinking a Starbucks Frappuccino every day, it's 114 mg of caffeine. Not too bad.
DH got a huge bag of Pizza Rolls and over 3 days I ate the whole thing. Mmmm.
The Dr. said no sex until our next appointment, and I'm actually relieved...I can't stand the thought of sex right now anyway! Poor DH!
This is sooo much fun!
* I'm drinking tons of water...I'm a teacher so everytime I have to use the bathroom I call the principal to watch my class. Honestly, I'm not thirsty, I just don't want to work!
* My mother is a frieking pessimist and every conversation I thank the lord she lives on the other side of the country because otherwise bodily harm would insue.
* I've gained 8 pounds in a mere 6 weeks and can't fit into any of my pants...the DH said I look 4 months pregnant last night so I locked myself in the bathroom sobbing hysterically. Poor guy.
* I would kill for a pizza with pineapple, garlic cheese bread and a very large root beer!!! ohhh and a thin mint blizzard from dairy queen!!!!
Ooh, hope you don't mind if I jump over from 2nd tri, but I could get a few things off my chest...
My best friend is due two weeks before me with her first. She's tall, skinny, and tan - and her "bump" at almost 20 weeks just looks like she had a big lunch. I'm short and pasty and this is baby #3; I already feel huge. I love her to death, and love being able to go through this with someone, I just feel completely inadequate around her.
These are awesome! LOL
1) Pregnancy has turned me into a tri-polar psycho. I can go from angry, to laughing to crying in about 10 seconds. I think my DH is a little afraid.
2) I'm not drinking enough H2O, but am getting plenty of calcium since I'm eating at least a pound of cheese everyday.
3) I am VERY frustrated by the limitations pregnancy has placed on my body. I really don't like having to depend on others to do things I used to do.
4) I'm sitting at the computer with my "fat" shorts unbottoned and unzipped
5) I sleep all the time, and when I'm not sleeping, I wish I was.
6) I constantly have gas pains that, in the beginning, I thought were uterine cramps.
7) I pooch my belly in public so it looks like I'm pregnant and not just fat.
Ugh! I feel much better. Thanks for the laugh, ladies! Its so nice to be able to talk about this stuff with others who are experiencing it first hand!
How funny... okay.
1. I totally ate McDonald's chicken nuggets and french fries today for lunch. I haven't had nuggets since I was like, 10, but they totally brought me back!! Along those same lines, Spaghettios have sounded WONDERFUL...
2. I hear myself saying "I feel fine" when people ask because I'm tired of hearing myself whine.
3. I'm also tired of being told m/s will go away by my second trimester... hellooo, I'm knocking on 2nd tri's door and I feel my worst!
4. I'm enjoying having a little extra cleavage for once
THIS!!!
1. I want to quit my job. I'm sick of being sick and pretending I can practice law while choking back vomit.
2. I haven't had sex with DH in a very long time (so long, I won't tell you how long) because I am sick almost 24/7 and go to bed no later than 9:00 p.m.
3. Even though I'm too sick to have sex, I manage to have amazing sex dreams on a regular basis.
4. I hate being a pregnant. It feels like the very life is being sucked out of me.
5. My mother "talked" to my still non-existant stomach this weekend and I almost slapped her out of irritation.
Okay, call social services, I'm going to be a terrible mother.
