Re: Confessions...
I think I can fill an entire confessions post by myself.
Sometimes I like to go to the IF board b/c I get so excited when I read that one of the girls got a BFP.
My allergies are so bad right now that I want to shoot my nose off, but I'm worried about how that may affect the baby.

I feel like by being a mother I will lose my edge at my job and all control of my life. I'm coping and learning that I will not and it will all be worth it, but i've been career driven for a long time and it's hard to take that 180 degree hairpin turn that's about to happen.
Thankfully my husband is a huge supporter and will be a big helper.
There I confessed. I'm learning to enjoy the idea of mom more and more everyday it just doesn't come naturally for me.
Adjusting to life as a working mom is hard, but you'll get it

I'm nervous to see how much harder my life will be with 2 kids.
I wish my son would go to sleep before 10pm every night. I love him, but he seriously needs to sleep.
I'm in teething hell.

eeck...
I'm wanting to play the "oh I'm preg and feel horrible" card monday at work bc the night before I'm going to a Black Crows show
I'm pretty sure I'll be a much better mother then most people my age bc I believe in discipline and no grey area. It may sound cocky and feel free to flame away but parents need to know how to handle situations before they arrive. Way too many parents think a child hitting, squeeling, and just plain out being an @ss is cute or chalk it up to age but you are just creating a monster.

I wish that I was more excited about being pg again. We weren't TTC, and it was a little bit of a surprise. This past year with DD has been the hardest year of my life.
And it breaks my heart to say any of that.
I wish I was getting fatter. I can't believe I'm saying that out loud.
I haven't put on a pound and I'm secretly jealous of those girls who say they already need bella bands, or they've already bought maternity clothes.
(And yes, I know I will probably regret saying this in a few months.)
I am really scared that there is something wrong with our baby after this last week.
DH has been more then supportive and keeps telling me that no matter what happens we have each other. As much as I appreciate that I don't think he realize how much I want this baby after trying for more then a year with medical help.
I am really trying to stay positive and just rest and relax. Oh and all day I've wanted to see my dad but he was working this afternoon so I don't think he'll be coming by tonight.
I want DH to make me the centre of attention, all the time. It's difficult for him, since he's usually the 'star'.
Just this morning he whined and complained because I didn't go back to bed to give him a hug after getting up to walk the dogs, make breakfast, clean up last night's mess and put together his briefcase for him.
Seriously.
I was like, "BUT I AM PREGNANT AND I SHOULD BE THE CENTRE OF ATTENTION! NOT YOU AND YOUR STUPID HUGS!"
Then I felt bad.

I have poison ivy all over my body and I'm terrified that the benadryl that I'm taking (ok'd by my OB) is going to hurt my baby. I wish they'd let me come in early for an ultrasound to make sure everything is ok.
I am an itchy miserable mess. I'm also terrified that I'm going to give it to Zachary because he constantly wants hugs or to crawl all over me. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I wish he'd stop being so cuddly for a few days.
Between being bloated, only being able to eat/hold down/crave comfort food, and going on vacation with DH for 6 days last week (and eating out for EVERY meal on that trip)....I gained almost 10 lbs since my last Dr. appt (9/14). Plus, I'm so fricking exhausted and nauseated all the time that I get zero exercise anymore. I know it's a lot of bloating and water weight from all the junk I have been eating, but I am seriously horrified that this is NOT a good way to end the first trimester.....
Two things I must confess...
1. I work part time at Target while attending school. Every time I work there are parents who bring their screaming children in and it drives me mad. They run around, knock clothes off of racks, have peed on the floor, and drive me insane! I use to be an elementary ed student so I am use to kids, but in these situations it scares the crap out of me that I will be having my own little monster.
2. I am so excited to have this child, and am greatful everyday that we will be parents, but sometimes I get so worried about how much my life is going to change. I always expected this to happen, but I just hope that my husband and I are still going to have a close marriage and that we will be able to take time for us.
Right at the time of conception for me I went hiking 7 miles in the woods and got into an insane bunch of chiggers. They covered my thighs down! I was on benadryl for a little while but the 1 thing that worked best for me was pine sol....hopefully i will have no issues with that mess!! I really didn't think I was going to be pregnant that cycle or I would have probably taken a few more precautions.
I worry that I am not going to make a good mother. I have been with my husband for over 8 years now ans helped raise his three, the youngest just turned nine. I know how to handle babies and al lthat jazz but I am worried about being responceable for another life. It is a big step but I know this is what I want. I am sure other people have this fear or something close to it but I feel so alone.
I am also worried about how the baby is developing. Even though the doctors say everything looks great, fingers crossed, I keep thinking to myself 'what if they missed something?'
I feel a bit better now.
I actually just stopped working at Target to travel before going back to get my teaching certificate! I used to be the Senior Team Leader. And I know EXACTLY how you feel. I used to come home all the time and tell DH that we CANNOT allow our kids to be monsters. Working there has definitely scared me!
My confession is that I hate being unemployed and having to rely on DH for our income and now that I'm pregnant, I feel even more out of control of my life. I think it is a pride thing. I can't wait to have the baby, finish my teaching cert. and try to find a job!
I start a new job on Thursday and am not really that excited, but I hate my current one so will suck it up.
I havne't told my company I am pg. and may be on bed rest in 4 months
I have cried for two days straight because of these hormones
I miss sex, but becuase of IC we are not "suppose to" and the love of our child means more to us.
Starting to feel better, thank you for this post to get this off my chest
I want my older child to have a sibling, but feel bad for taking some of my attention away.
I worry that I won't love the second one as much and/or that the second one will be harder than the first.
I nursed my first for more than a year, and am not at all looking forward to doing that again.
That was a 3 for 1. Yikes, I'm terrible. :-/
I am worried about:
1, If I am going to be a good mom.
2. My job. If I will be able to go back to work and be a mom all at the same time.
I know everything works out in the end but it just worries me a little.
This, EXACTLY.
I'm really intimidated about having another child. DD has been a super easy baby (minus the crappy sleeping) and right now DH and I have a great balance and I feel like I get plenty of "me" time and still have my hobbies, etc. I know we will find that balance again, but I also know it will be another huge adjustment at first.
Also, I really need to not let people upset me so much. I've gotten a few very hurtful comments on the close spacing of my children and those few negative ones seem to drown out the very many positive comments.
im right there with ya!
I'm so frustrated by work, DH and my dog that I just want to sleep. I know it's just a mood swing / funk and that I'll be fine tomorrow.
Oh, and I'm physically exhausted, too.
And I'm frustrated by my lack of wardrobe options. I'm not the least bit interested in wearing most of last winter's clothes but I don't want to buy any new ones because I'm sure I'll grow out of my regular size soon. Blech. I'll probably suck it up and wear the old stuff.
I haven't cooked dinner in 2 weeks...we have gone out, done take out or one of our parent sets have had us over for dinner.
I'm a BAD housewife
I am scared about how much lack of sleep I am going to get once the baby is born. My son didnt sleep through the night until he was 11 months old. I remember having some days of just crying..."i just want sleep!!"
Our house is so small...and we have two adults, my toddler son and two cats.....I hope this baby fits in our cramped house! lol
I want to get rid of my cats. Really badly. They drive me crazy with the shedding hair...ugh.
