pinksweetpea2 · December 2009

My brother sent me an email asking me to pray for a kid who was in a car accident who has a whole bunch of ailments including brain damage. My brother doesn't really know him, but said he was a friendly face around campus (college).

I am not religious and have no idea what to do with emails like these. I feel bad for the kid and his family, but I can't figure out why my brother chose this kid to email us all about since he barely knows him. Bad things happen to people every day- why is this one so special that he needed to email us about it? He has never sent me such an email.

I think my brain is just getting in the way with this one.

This is a pretty sad confession but here we go. I am really resenting this pregnancy. I definitely wanted more kids but I needed a few more months of my body being my body. I have been so ill and I am not even in week seven. I got food poisoning and it has put me out of work for a week and made me incredibly weak. I spoke with my doctor and he said it was the mixture of food poisoning and the pregnancy which did me in. I am too weak to do my job properly and too weak to take care of DD properly. I am completely dependent on DH and my mom who is visiting. I am supposed to go LA a week from today and if I cancel it will be horrible for my career. This pregnancy has already made me completely readjust my work schedule for the next 6 months. I just want to feel better, have energy and I am blaming feeling so terrible on this pregnancy.

Also I want another girl simply because it means I don't need to buy any new clothes, sheets, decorations for the nursery etc.

RobynandJason05/06 · December 2009

shocked, surprised and angry that i am pregnant. I like the way our family is balanced right now. Blamed DH though its takes two. I told him over and over that my body was back to normal and this could happen. He didnt take me seriously. I know deep down hes wanted another baby. He said oh we did IVF with Justin is not going to happen.

Yea famous last words. I will be better once the shock and denial goes away. The fact i will be 41 when this LO is born.

I made 4 dozen cookies for a cookie exchange/playdate, but dd got sick so we couldn't go. I ate them ALL in one day. Gross.

Sweetsparkles · December 2009

what....? four dozen? wow, I'd be sick.

Sounds like it was good though!

This could BE my post! I too am feeling resentful towards the pregnancy because I have been so unbelievably sick. It is ridiculous. I can't do anything anymore. My poor mom has come over nearly everyday the past two weeks because I"m throwing up and so nauseous its hard for me to take care of DD and my house. My DH is getting sick of hearing how much I don't feel good all the time, so we've been fighting. I'm just ready to start feeling better, so I can get excited about the new baby- feeling like poo makes you miserable and pair that the pregnancy hormones its a recipe for disaster. I feel like this whole holiday season sucks this year because I'm so sick.......and I love Christmas!

the phrase that kate moss recently coined, "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels", has really helped me to not overindulge. and while i think her saying it is somewhat laughable, i think it is so completely true.

TMI here. I'm not sure whether it was my responsibility to remind DH to pull out. And now it's too late. And I discovered at 5:30 this morning that I think I really wanted him to....

Pregnant? Unplanned? DH should have pulled out? Welcome to the club!

She didn't *coin* it. It is the mantra for every ana/mia website out there (aka PRO-anorexia/bulimia websites).

redstars93 · December 2009

And since it looks like this is going to be another all about pregnancy thread, I am out of here.

I wish we could have one day that this wasn't the 4th tri.

My fffc is : My family is having a reunion next year on a cruise. I would love to go on te cruise ( never been ) but don't wanna be bothered with the majority of those family members. Dh won't go ugh!

HisWifeHerMom · December 2009

I have been in such a bad mood for the last 2 weeks. I am tired of DD being sick. It is like she stays sick. She is in preschool and as soon as she gets over a cold, a new one begins. I am tired of snotty tissue, coughing, and sneezing. (I know, insensitive. I realize it isn't her fault). DH and I just aren't getting along. Everything that comes out of his mouth irritates me. We haven't seen each other much (opposite schedules) and I don't really miss him. And, I have lost the Christmas spirit this year. I am ready for it all to be over.

Wow, I sound like a total b*tch.

We have used PnP since DD was born because I did not want to be pregnant for my Disney trip next week. Then DH decides like last week, the week before, that he is done with it. I asked him what exactly we are doing and he said something like if it happens, it happens but every time since then, when we have sex he goes 'now watch you get pregnant'. Then I reassure him that it's not going to happen because it's not near O but this time? Totally the day of, or definitely close enough and I didn't tell him that because he didn't ask. And then I realized this morning while I was holding DD that I don't really think I am ready to make her share me. So while being pregnant wouldn't be anywhere near the end of the world, I'm not going to be jumping up and down like I did with DD.

andrea922 · December 2009

It makes me laugh that people worry about getting pregnant (or being pregnant) when they don't actually use anything other than pulling out as protection.

::sigh:: I could have written this. It's so hard to be so sick ALL THE TIME especially during the holidays. I hope everyone suffering from 'morning sickness' feels better SOON. BIG ((hugs)) to us all!

I could have written this. Now that I'm at the end and I can't travel it has started impacting some things at work. I am getting the cold shoulder from my boss because he has to go on a trip next week as my replacement.

This is not Kate Moss's saying..... but I get where you're coming from.

ETA: I see someone already corrected you on the Kate Moss thing.

Mama Jan · December 2009

i'm tired of all the pregnancy posts on this board. i wish people would use the tri boards for those posts (or the new 'month' boards)... like i did. lol.

KhloesMom · December 2009

K puked Exorcist style at the dinner table last night, so I called out of work today. And between my sick husband being up multiple times last night and K getting up at 5am, it was a very rough night. It looks like a very long day in PJ's, watching Nick Jr and it sucks because I have SO much to do before Christmas and there's not enough hours in a day.

And I popped my husband's balloon because I told him I'd rather have him pay a bill off than get me some expensive gift for Christmas. Unfortunately, I know he'll probably ignore my request...

violetvirgo · December 2009

this is really pertinent to the bump, but... while i'm very happy that i have the job i do and that i've moved up relatively quickly in my career i really think a monkey could do my job and i just don't get why some of my coworkers are always so stressed out or can't seem to finish simple tasks.

it also irks me when people are so negative (i have two friends and many co-workers who are constant debbie downers). crappy things happen to everyone, it's all about attitude! you can make yourself happy or make yourself miserable, but in the end it's up to you!

...that felt good.

cicija1 · December 2009

Kind of sad but you girls are making me feel better... I wanted to have few more months and then get pregnant. It sounds soooo ungrateful!! We have friends who have been trying for years and I know there are many individuals like that so I feel very selfish!! I'm glad I'm not the only one..

KittyCatBio · December 2009

i don't know how flammable this really is, but i'm pissed at one of my employees. she's out of sick days/vacation, and missed a day and some hours earlier this week. now, i know she's having trouble money wise so i was going to give her the days when i got her timecard, but she went ahead and lied on her timecard that she was here. like i didn't notice her absence. so, i'm pissed at her for lying, but i'm not going to change it b/c i was going to give it to her anyway, but i really felt like calling her out on it and taking the day away.

and *hugs* redstars. I'm sorry.

Gina418 · December 2009

I wish I was laid off last year instead of my dh. I would have been much more productive around the house and I would have cherished time alone with my ds. All dh has done in the 11 months he has been out of work is start projects he has yet to finish, fill the sink with dirty dishes, shrink my good work clothes in his effort to "help" around the house, he has gained a ton of weight, complains about how hard it is for him on the days he has to take care of ds by himself (my mom watches ds 4 out of 5 days every week). He seems to have time for his 4000 mafia wars team members but somehow there aren't enough hours in the day to put up the Christmas lights (which is the only thing I really really want him to do).

I'm tired of carrying the mortgage by myself. I'm tired of trying to figure out what bills to pay on time and which ones to defer. I'm tired of getting up at 3:45 because dh needs to be at his retail job at 5. I'm tired of being accused of nagging him when I ask him what jobs he has applied for recently or if he followed up on any leads.

I want to run away from my life, I really really do.

alheystek · December 2009

If the rumors are true about Michelle Duggar and baby #19, I think I will cry. I love that family and it will be tragic if something bad happens to that tiny baby.

radiokate · December 2009

I caught DD brushing the dog's teeth with DH's toothbrush. When I see her do this with mine, I throw them out and get a new one. I just checked the drawer though and we don't HAVE any new ones, so I rinsed DH's off and he'll never have to know. I'm going to giggle when he brushes his teeth tonight though, because that really gives me the skeeves!

brandonsfuturewife07 · December 2009

i can't wait for DH to get here!!!!!!!

also: even though i hate living apart, i love being able to fill the bed with as many pillows as i want.

Temp778367875008010 · December 2009

I let DS hang out in his crib for at least 20 minutes this morning after he woke up. I just didn't want to get out of bed. And I know I go to bed too late and I need to fix that. Oh well, he wasn't screaming.

I'm beginning to regret or at least get frustrated with the fact that I'm still BFing. We only do it 2 times a day, but I don't look forward to it. I'm always very happy when he is quick with it. I think weaning is in our immediate future.

I think a lot of mom's are a little delusional when it comes to their kids (none on here of course). I have a friend on FB who posted a big status update about how her 19 week old DS said Hi to her twice and how she is so happy he is starting to repeat words. Uh, yeah, sure your kid may have made a noise that sounded like Hi, but I don't think your kid said Hi and knew what he said.

tonysbride2b · December 2009

I'm really pissed at my dad. He has played favorite my whole life, and has spoiled my sister rotten. I try not to let it bother me too much because I know I've turned out to be a better person since I wasn't spoiled my whole life. However, I find out, via my sister's facebook status, that she's going on vacation with my dad and her son to Florida next week. Mind you, my sister lives with my parents, has no job, pays no rent or bills, and uses my mom as her personal babysitter often as she's always going out. It bothers me to no end that my dad asked her to go with him on an all expenses paid vacation with him. I hate that it makes me resent my sister even thouh it's really not her fault. Not to mention that when I brought it up when I was at their house the other day my dad played it off that he only asked my sister because he wants her son to go. So now he's playing favorites with his grandkids too. It really hurts my feelings...what does he have against me?

I love when people post pictures of themselves on here because I like to see who I'm talking to and know what posters look like. Half the time it's completely different than how I pictured them. However, I've never posted a pic of myself because I have this weird Internet paranoia about having my face out there or being recognized. Although apparently I have no shame about posting my child's face.

nbjenni · December 2009

I haven't bathed the girls in a week. Or brushed their teeth. So gross.

cicija1 · December 2009

I know I live in AZ and it doesn't get as cold as some other places but it's freezing this morning!!! And I just say a mom dressed in jeans and jacked with a scarf as well, caring a boy who has short sleeves on and shorts!!! I hate when people do this, what makes you think the kid is not cold?

Mustang Sally · December 2009

I am feeling like crap and very bitchy this morning so here goes...

I agree with the previous posters who are tired of reading all about the pregnancy issues. Seriously, this board is turning into a "Pregnant for the second (third, fourth...) time" board and I didn't realize how insensitive it was....until now. It seems like half the posts are about baby names and half are about morning sickness/doctor appts/etc. Use the freaking tri boards if you want to vent to others in the same boat!

Phew, I feel a tiny bit better.
