3rd Trimester
Flame Free Friday Confessions
I figured I'd start this out.
I'm being totally judgmental against my friend of 17 years who is getting artificially inseminated this next week. I feel like she wants to get pregnant, just to be pregnant. I believe she did the same thing with her wedding. She got married, not to be married, but just to have a wedding. I don't think that she and her DH have completely thought this through. They literally live in a 4 room apt and he's unemployed. In my opinion, that's not the most ideal living situation to bring a baby into the world. I know my DH and I weren't in the most ideal situation when we got our BFP, but we were headed in the right direction. Both of us have reliable full time jobs and bought our first home and are doing quite well.
But of course, I would never tell her this, because I am a sissy.
I feel much better...

Re: Flame Free Friday Confessions
I know how you feel! I know some one who want to try for another baby soon when they're barely making ends meet with one. I just worry about how they're going to do it...but to each his own.
I don't want MIL watching Henry. I just feel like she isn't capable...even though I'm sure she is.
I'm just afraid she'll do things her own way and not mine.
I feel gorgeous except for my back fat. That is really grossing me out. There is this bulge between my bra and the top of my sexy high-rise mat. pants that really must go.
and...
I need to not work until my due date like I had planned. I really really need to not work until my due date. I just won't survive.
and....
I am on the internet at work.
i never do these...so i have 3:
1. nbr: every time that i see beyonce do that "single ladies" dance, i get a bigger girl crush
2. sometimes at night, i wake up dh to do things that i can do (like let the cat out of our room) just because i don't think it's fair that he sleeps so soundly all the time
3. i have a growth u/s today and secretly hope that my baby's really big so that my doctor will take her out sooner than later
I was being good and made some meals to freeze for after the baby comes and then promptly brought one to work today for lunch cause I didn't want to make anything.
Also, I'm having a hard time with being super selfish about wanting to see DH so much. We got the awesome news that he gets to graduate in December instead of next May last week and he only has one class this semester so now I feel like he should be home a lot more. Realistically, I know he has to finish his architecture project and that requires him to pull all nighters every night this week, but dammit, I want him to come home and cuddle me!! I whine and make him feel bad, which I shouldn't do and makes me feel bad. Ugg, I'm a bad wife sometimes.
i killed the rest of my bag of oreos before 930 am today.
Oh yeah -
My mother-in-law is a hypochondriac and I warned DH that, as the due date got closer, this would intensify. She will want more attention.
Guess what is happening! Yup. I was right. She actually did hurt her back but she has dragged it out for a month and it is ridiculous.
The confession part - I have NO sympathy what so ever for this woman. I never know when she is crying wolf or being dramatic and I have given up. (I am now a vetern of one to many ER visits for stupid things with her.)
I'm trying to hide this fact from DH and still be the sympathetic daughter-in-law.
I made DH drive his awful gas guzzler to work because I'm supposed to go to town and get some things. I can't convince myself to leave the house now.
My thank you cards have been finished for days. I just have to address them and stamp them. Who knows when that will happen.
I'm a little jealous of all the people getting work showers (I'm also happy for you guys and enjoy the posts). I work at a church, so you'd think they'd be more into the whole shower thing, and I haven't heard anything mentioned at all. Which is fine when my inner brat stays quiet, which is most of the time.
Just to clarify, I am definitely not one of those girls who thinks they're owed a shower and/or gifts just because I'm pregnant. My DH and I made sure we could afford everything before we even tried getting pregnant, and actually feel guilty that people want to buy us stuff. Plus, we already had a wonderful shower where we got to see so many people that we haven't seen in a long time (we live away from our families), so really, I'm just being a brat. Still, I see all these work shower posts, and a little part of me goes "I WANT ONE!!!"

I wish my DD would arrive this weekend.
I'm worried about how Im going to handle my MIL once DD arrives...I dont want her to be hands on and I know thats terrible since she will be her grandma.
This almost exactly... except my MIL is throwing a "mother blessing" instead of a shower. So all the unwanted attention will be on ME and not even on the BABY! This is just one example of how she always does what she wants to do and doesn't consider anyone else's feelings.
Oh, the irony of blessing a mother who is dreading being blessed!!!
None of my girlfriends ever call me anymore
I've spent the past few weekends sitting at home watching tv or a movie on Friday and Saturday nights. I used to get at least a call a week from a gf assking me (or me and DH) to a party, or out to a bar, or out dancing or something.
I feel like everyone just assumes I'm so pregnant that I won't feel up to doing anything, so they just don't call anymore. And I'm tired of trying to organize plans myself, I feel like people should still bee calling me.
Sorry, just feeling a bit like a loser. Another friday night with no plans. DH said that he'd take me out to dinner, which is nice, but, you know...
I've been eating really badly because I know that the baby is coming in one week and I won't be able to any more.
Really, really bad.
All work-related confessions:
I don't say it, but it pisses me off that I don't get some of the easier assignments at work. I have a really active and demanding job, for the most part, but there are some job assignments that I could be given that would ease the amt of walking around, moving things, lifting, ...STRESS in general on me right now. I know I'm usually awesome at work and my supervisor has come to expect more from me than some others and that is probably partly why I get more intense assignments but it's just too hard to do it all now. And, the few times when I have asked someone to switch with me a few tasks so I can take a rest, they won't do it.
Isn't there some sort of unwritten code that you're supposed to go easy on the pregnant girl, just a little bit?
Also, I think that part of the reason why my supervisor gives me the really hard assignments every day is that she's mad/jealous that I am having a baby (she found out 2-3 yrs. ago that she can't have them and has been trying to adopt for a while now).
Finally, it really bothers me that the girls I work with don't get it at all that sometimes I'm moody and can't really help it and so if I look stressed out they really need not get all "why are you mad at me?" whiny and insecure... I'm pregnant, I'm tired, I'm hungry, and you're annoying me... I'm doing the best I can to deal with it by NOT saying anything to you about everything you do that bothers me so don't get in my face... PLEASE. One girl has flat out stopped talking to me since I announced that I'm pregnant, and no one really even acknowledges my pregnancy. Like, we'll all talk about our weekend and I'll mention some work I was excited to get done in the nursery and it's silence then on to another topic like sports or a dumb tv show. ... I think they're all pissed that my maternity leave is screwing up holiday vacations for them.

This, pretty much to a T.

Trying again..
Heheh, this cracks me up!
I am hoping and praying that I go into labor next week. I know I am supposed to want him to stay in there the full 40 weeks, but I am so miserable, I just want him out. I've had a very healthy pregnancy and I know he's perfect and he's already 6lbs7oz. But...I can't sleep, I can't eat, I have uncontrollable rage from hormones, my back is breaking, my pelvic bones are killing me and now my ankles have blown up and I can't walk for very long.
I am SO ready for this baby to come already.
My MIL will not be allowed, as long as I'm alive, to be alone with LO once he's born. MIL is a crazy, psycho woman- another story for another day perhaps- but seriously, she won't be alone with my child. When the time comes that I go into labor, MIL and FIL won't be called until after we've already had the baby and are back home from the hospital, because they will come and show their azzes at the hospital. No thanks.
I quit smoking the day I got my BFP- we weren't expecting to get pregnant as soon as we did, or I would've stopped sooner. Anyway, I've been fine without cigarettes, but this week I have been DYING for a quick nic fix. I can't stand the smell of the cig smoke anymore, no one has smoked around me in months, so I don't know where the intense craving is coming from all of the sudden. Just weird.
Me too. My MIL also keeps making comments about me BF and what I don't think she gets (even though I've been totally open about my feeding plans) is that I don't plan on EBF and once I go back to work, Sebastian will be on formula. The way she is acting makes me feel like she really isn't going to do things my way and I have a feeling we'll be butting heads a lot.
Other FF confession? The more I think about BF the less I want to do it. I've never wanted to but feel like I should. But I'm so tired of my body not being mine I just don't want to. I haven't told anyone this, not even DH, because I feel so guilty, like not wanting to BF makes me a bad person and a bad mom.
LOL! This is totally something I would do!
I have a co-worker who is a total attention whore and clone. She married a man who has the same kind of job and motorcycle mine has. bought a car like mine. She started TTC when she found out I was. She wasn't even married yet. A few months later she says that I got PG just to piss her off. Now she is PG and is trying to do everything just like I have. I seriously try not to tell anyone anything just to avoid being copied. She listens in on everyones conversations and then butts in to talk about herself.
I am sooo tired of this I want to give up a really good job just to avoid being cloned.
-The only thing getting me through today is the candycorn on my supervisors desk.
-DH does all of our finances, I rarely look at our accounts, but I need to know how much he has saved up for maternity leave, but know money has been super tight and that a lot of it has had to go to pay for the extra semester of school he's doing right now, so I'm avoiding asking him because I know it won't be enough and it's just going to make me cry.
- I want to cry because I feel like I should be working less right now and instead I'm trying to jump start my lia sophia business and am taking on a 10hr/week job to bring in extra money
- DH was perfectly fine until he talked to his mom last night and she told him that he was working too hard (he works full time and is doing a 18hr/week internship). The night ended with him COMPLETELY stressed out and he said about 2 words to me before bed.
- I would really LOVE to go home, crawl into bed, bawl for a while and then sleep the rest of the day.
- I just dropped my yogurt on my keyboard and that's just more than I can handle right now. If there wasn't someone sitting right next to me I'm sure I'd be in tears.
I no longer save the biggest/best pieces of anything for DH: cake, pizza, etc.
I take all the credit for "healthy eating" when people comment on my small weight gain with this pregnancy including my MW. The truth is, I eat bad stuff, not all my veggies and have no idea why I am not gaining.
I am still not done with the nursery.
