FFFC
I could use a good flame free Friday confession session. I'll start....
All I want to eat is junky foods. I had two slices of pizza for lunch and now I'm debating on whether or not I should have cookies and milk.

Re: FFFC
LOL!
I hear you on the junk food.. lately it seems that's all I want.
I don't get what all the fuss was about the GD test.. I didn't find it that terrible.
I wish we were moving like now so we can get it over with. I'm afraid we aren't going to be settled by the time peanut gets here and it's freaking me out a little.
On Fridays it's easier for me to quote other people than think for myself.
Amen to those.
I just started my grocery list with ice cream, reese pieces, hot fudge and cherries. I have no shame.
growing a foosa
I'm sick and tired of one of my "I know everything about pregnancy" friends. She insists that there are certain things that I can't do because when she was pregnant with her son she couldn't do them. I know shes just going off of what her doctors told her but come on you had your son 3 years ago and some things have changed.
I'm going to get my hair done for the first time, other than just a regular cut, since last April. I have 4-5 inch brown roots with blond ends and its driving me nuts. I can't stand the thought of going another 3 to 4 months with this hair as its really just ugly and I want to get rid of it. I talked to my Dr. and he was fine with me getting it dyed. This friend has flat out told me that I can't do it because she couldn't do it when she was pregnant with her son.1. I drink coffee...everyday!!!
2. I eat the following no-no's frequently: turkey cold, soft cheese & sushi
3. I am still running on the treadmill and lifting 15 lb weights, even laying on my back ::gasp::
4. I hate being pregnant most days and can't wait for this little girl to get here
5. I'm very afraid I won't love this one as much as DS!
I think some women on here are far too bent out of shape about their baby showers. Someone is spending the $$ to throw you a party and others are willingly buying things for your child. The last thing you should be complaining about is how ugly the invites are or how the cake isn't the one you want. Calm down and just be grateful.
I felt that way too when I was pregnant with #2. Amazingly, you actually will. I honestly couldn't imagine loving someone else that much, but the second I saw her, it happened again.
I am mean and crabby and really just want a nap, therefore completely unproductive at work.
I don't feel like eating much of anything good and figure since I already did my GD test I should go for it and eat anything I want
I don't feel like shopping for nursery stuff, any baby clothes or anything else for that matter.
I to am sick of the third tri board. It is an uncomfortable place to be and it makes me wonder if I will be that angry later in the third tri.
Oh and I don't really care if I have a shower.
this! I worry about this 24/7! I can't wait to be able to work out like I used to! I'm just so scared no matter what I do, I'll never get back to how I was.
-All I eat is junky food. I had 3 cookies that DH's coworker sent home with him and then proceeded to eat an ice-cream sandwich last night. I won't be surprised if I didn't pass the GTT today. Oh and I drink diet coke and eat lunch meat. Oh and I am an RD.
-I was relieved to hear at my OB appointment today that he would induce m-e a week early if need be. (DH has to be out of town 7 days after EDD and my sister graduates college at the same time)
-I have been letting DD watch way too much Wiggles.
-I have been exhausted and DH has been goon the last 11 or 14 days. All I want to do is check myself into a hotel and sleep and eat room service in bed.
-We are going to see DH's grandma and aunt 3 hours away tomorrow. I don't want to go. I was secretly hoping that the doctor would tell me not to go.
-We have close friends that just found out their baby is going to have abnormalities. I am devastated for them but am not sure what to do. (Suggestions?)
1. I have been craving fresh strawberries like crazy, so i decided that eathing a pint of strawberry ice cream was just as good as the real thing.
2. Like a PP said I'm so tired of being pregnant. I'm ready for it to be over and to meet my lil girl.
3. I am terrified of giving birth (mostly it's the fear of the unknown since this is my first)
First of all this post made me very happy- lots of other grumpy people like me. Sometimes I just feel like the most unhappy *** in the world and wonder if the 'fun-happy' version of me is ever coming out again. I hate being pregnant and ever day lasts forever and all I can think is that I will NEVER do this again.... (did I mention I had the stomach flu and a sinus infection this week- good times)
Oh and I eat everything- blue cheese, brie, a glass of wine on occassion..
healthy until like 1PM and then I am on a mission for chocalate bars and cheetos.. yum.
I'm just so mad about everything. I feel like I'm going to fly off the handle at any second. Everything pisses me off and I've come to the conclusion that the world is full of idiots.
/rant.
That is awesome!
I too have a lot of anxiety about my weight. I have an identical twin sister and everytime I look at her I think of how skinny she is. And I can't even remember looking that way anymore.
Edit: I have one more confession. It's 76 degrees today in Dallas and I just cancelled the rest of my appointments and am spending the rest of the afternoon outside. I can deal with them on Monday!
thanks! and i have to say that i think the ice cream was much yummier lol
I found out wed that I have GD and I am so mad about it.
DH and I had an arguement last night about chores and I dont feel bad about what I said.
1) DH and I watched a LO for a friend a couple of weeks ago and it was a complete disaster; largely b/c she was sick and it was an all day (read 20 hrs while mom was having DC#2) thing, not just a few hours. But our inability to handle taking care of her has seriously stolen some of my excitement and joy about my LO coming b/c I am now feeling very inadaquate as a soon-to-be parent.
2) I have been sick (thanks to the LO in above confession) for a couple of weeks now and have been "off my feed." I am secretly happy that I lost a few of the extra lbs I packed on over Christmas, but am also glad to be back to eating like a normal pregnat lady, whatever that means....lol. But I also feel guilty because I know my diet has never been as balanced as it should, and I wonder if I'll be able to change that before I'm teaching this LO eating habits....
3) I have reached the point in this whole process in which I am glad we have not bought a lot of stuff for this kid, b/c there is no way we NEED all of this stuff to raise this baby. I think we'll buy some diapers, bottles, a carseat, stroller and pay plen (only because we plan on traveling this summer) and be done. Anything else we will buy after he is actually here and we discover we cannot parent w/o it.
4) I don't think I've ever had this much to say on TB....lol
This. I drowned myself in ice cream for the past few days as well... two servings, two nights in a row!
I absolutely love #4! You just made my day
Glad I'm not the only one who woke up in a bad mood today
1) I have only gotten out of bed once today - I went to get McDonalds for lunch. I followed up my chicken sandwich and fries by finishing off a bag of peanut butter m&m's. (no, I'm not on bedrest and yes, I've gained too much weight already)
2) I wish I was having a shower. We live in Cali and our family is on the east coast, plus we just had a wedding shower a year ago. Occasionally I think DH is planning something behind my back, but I'm pretty sure its just wishful thinking.
3) I hate LA weather. Its not supposed to be 80 degrees in January. I would give anything for a cold and cloudy day...
I dream about doing this on a regular basis...but I'd like to do it for a week so that DH would have to do things like laundry, grocery shop, clean the house etc in addition to taking care of DS.
This is me to a T and yet I still just want to eat carbs and sweets!!
This.
Also, I really, really don't want to come to work anymore. My students are wonderful for the most part, my fellow teachers are fine, I just want to stay at home in front of the tv. It has nothing to do with hurting or feeling exhaused...
My DH stressing out (about baby/work/ the house projects) makes me want to kick him and tell him to knock it off and suck it up. I am having a really hard time being empathetic.
I DON'T WANT TO WORK ANYMORE!!!
I am going to grad school full-time, and working with mentally ill people sort of full-time, and I am so overwhelmed lately!!! My clients, for the most part, are NOT NICE to me...and I'm so sick of getting super stressed and upset every single day. I am pregnant, I am exhausted, and I am emotional...this is not helping. Now that the spring semester of school has started, I feel like I just can't do it all anymore! Not to mention when baby comes....
I feel guilty about not wanting to work, and I don't even know if it is possible, but I really feel like the the baby is #1 and school is #2, and I really don't care if I have to take out millions of dollars in student loans to make it happen....
Whew...thanks for the b*tch session, feels good to get that out!!
DF is going to the walk in clinic because we've both had this cough that won't go away but he's been coughing up blood off and on through it. Not a lot but enough that it's starting to worry him. I'm a bit worried too.. and annoyed that we're STILL coughing after 2 weeks. I don't feel sick anymore it's just this stupid cough.
I also don't want to work anymore. I'm tired and it's so slow right now that it's mind numbing. I have a month and a bit until I start mat leave.. I can't wait!
I havent really talked to my DH for a week now, he isnt very good with communication so that just fuels my depression. I know this was an issue but it upsets me the further along I get. Just dont talk to me because you cant help me, and leave me alone when I ask you too. He is just trying to help but he doesnt help at all.
I want to quit work NOW! but I feel guilty because I have no reason to quit besides being to tired to leave. DH says quit but I love the kids too much.
I want to eat a full meal and not 1/4 of one then feel full. I am hungry all the time.
My step son is moving in with us and DH cant get his finger out and get his plane ticket so he can come home. The boy will be so much better off with us then his mother.
I HATE my exczema it flaired up on my nose between the nostrals, and now its all starting on my hands. I DO NOT want ugly digusting crusted blisters when I have my baby.
I think I am done now.
This is really stupid. My friend is calling off of 2 jobs to be able to come to my shower, because I went to hers and she is a good friend. She won't be driving an hour, but still! She's calling off of work!
I was actually thinking about starting this same thread at lunch time to confess all the junk I've been eating. Just when I start to eat healthy again, nausea flares up and the only thing that really makes me feel better is sugar and fast food. Plus, I've been so cranky this week, I just say screw it, I'm going to eat what I want!
I'm also worried about the weight gain since I started out so overweight...
1. I hate everything and pretty much everyone. I too have learned people are idiots. Unfortunately, my filter is getting thin and I might start telling people how stupid they really are.
2. I looked up my GTT and CBC results on the electronic medical records system my hospital uses. I failed the one hour and I'm anemic. Now, I'm freaking out because I seriously doubt my ability to follow a diabetic diet. I'm an RN and I will need diabetic education because I am clueless.
3. I hate my job. HATE. One more policy change and I may blow up the building.
4. I seriously considered asking my doctor to put me on light duty just to get away from work for a while. (Light duty=stuffing envelopes for HR, not actually being on your unit).
5. I called in Thursday "throwing up." It was more like a little nauseous with a whole lotta personal day highly needed.
6. A small part of me hopes that this baby is breech so I can get a C-section. I am terrified of tearing, but I know that I'll have to pay out of pocket if I get an elective.
