It's Friday! WooHoo, FFFC.

*BlackSheep* · February 2011

So Flame Free Friday Confession?

What is yours?

I can not wait to see my parents today & tomorrow, but Not looking forward to her smokey house. She doesn't smoke around me but I can still smell it, also the smell on her breath, yuck. A good thing is we are going out for dinner & then I get to go to Trader Joes.

I am also not looking forward to the 3 1/2 hour drive well ride, dh is driving. But I'm going to read the book "the happiest baby on the block" since I found it at goodwill for like a dollar!

JustOne · February 2011

Both my boss and the GM are out today, which leaves me in charge. I am tired, I do not feel good, and I do not want to be here. But my work ethic has forced it on me. Yay... Well, I just had to deal with a call from our other branch because one of the managers there wants an iphone so bad he wants to pay for it himself. This is the same branch that does not understand, nor care, that there are procedures to follow. That you can not simply walk into an AT&T store and change the company phone plan at will. So here I am, tired, not feeling good, and all around in a crabby mood dealing with a man who has decided that the best way to get me to budge and let him do what he wants is to throw his title around. For which, I told him that his title had nothing to do with my decision. That he still had to follow procedure, and that the person he needs to talk to will be back on Monday. He hung up on me. I really should not be at work today, I have no patience for this bull.

I'm a little bit miffed that neither of my parents remember that tomorrow is my birthday. My dad's girlfriend is taking me to get a pedicure today because SHE remembered my birthday & knows I can't reach my toes. I'm very tempted to post a passive-aggressive FB status about it.

LaurenL977 · February 2011

I ate a chocolate covered donut for breakfast....then I had a greasy bacon, egg, and cheese on a bagel. MMMMMmmmmmmm. My guilt is consuming me, but damn they were good. Embarrassed

Awe that sucks. Sorry girlie.. And happy early birthday. Have fun at your pedicure.

Happy early birthday - mine is tomorrow as well! My dad never remembers, so I won't be disappointed if he forgets again. My mom, however, sent me a text at 6 this morning telling me happy birthday - I think she was bummed when I reminded her that it was tomorrow

My FFFC... I have done NOTHING productive this week at all. I've sat on my fat butt, in bed, on the computer, half-as*ed worked on homework, ate junk food, and watched TV. But when DH gets home from work, I've asked him to make dinner and do the dishes, because I was too tired. 3 days in a row. I'm a jerk.

Jessica0624 · February 2011

I flipped the channel and all of a sudden Hubby asked me if that was Gray?s Anatomy and I said yes. Next thing I know we are both sitting in bed eating Girl Scout cookies watching Gray?s Anatomy. Never really watched it before and I was surprised how much WE really liked it! I

Chuggington is parenting for me right now.

If I hear the word "traintastic" one more time, I might lose it though.

labooshki · February 2011

I'm working on a personal project today at work for a friend instead of working on sub plans for my maternity leave. I just don't care.

MoonlitPlumeria · February 2011

I am really cranky today, only running on 2 hours of sleep and so I basically moaned until my BF went to get greasy breakfast biscuits from the local gas station. As bad as they are for me, I think its one of the best things about living in Louisiana again! Yum! I also have been very lazy about the chores lately. I do feel guilty about it, but I am just so tired!

sparkymcgeee · February 2011

I'm on modified bedrest due to the baby being descended really low already. I physically don't feel like I need to be on bedrest of any kind. I was on strict bedrest earlier this week due to contractions as well. The contractions have stopped now.

I want to do the nursery and tomorrow I plan to go with DH to get the paint for the room. I just want to be normal and I can't be.

The doctor did say I could leave the house for small periods of time. That's my big outing? To get paint? It seems pathetic.

This. I am working on week 7 of home bed rest, so DD and I watch tv from breakfast until nap. Chugginton, Badou, Caillou, Cat in the Hat-anything. We now stop at stop lights and she tells me the colors and whether or not to go and I am just like "how do you know that? Oh yeah, it was a Caillou episode."

Of course she has also started calling me and DH "mother bear" and "father bear" from Little Bear. So I call her Little Evie Bear

I have made it past the cut off for pre-term labor (have to stay on bed rest for my BP though) so they won't stop labor at this point. I went in yesterday for consistent contractions. No progression, so they sent me home. I am not only happy because I really want to get to 37 weeks, but also because I don't like the month of February. The OCD in me doesn't like how it is spelled weird, and is a shorter month. It's like "look at me, I am a February, I'm special." Lame, I know.

rkenyon89 · February 2011

I have a couple and I am fully prepared to be flamed:

1. I do not want anyone feeding the LO except for "mommy and daddy" for the first week or so, and I plan on EBFing and pump bottles just for my FI to give to our son.

2. I am worried since we live with my MIL, our son will pick up her horrible grammar and pronunciation of words (Ex: she says DAPER instead of DIAPER).

jamacattack · February 2011

I'm going to be mad at my sister no matter what she does this weekend. My shower is tomorrow and it has been planned for awhile- her, my niece, nephew and mom (who I haven't seen in YEARS) are supposed to be driving up tonight for it and staying with dh and I (which neither of us wanted but worked really hard to get things ready for them to be here). Yesterday she told me she didn't know if she was coming because she wasn't feeling good and if she doesn't come, none of the other people are coming. My shower is at a fancy restaurant and everything had to be pre-paid a week in advance with the exact number of people so if 4 people don't show up, that is 4 people that were paid for by dh's family that they won't get any money back on and I'm going to feel like I owe them that money back.

If she does come and she is sick, I'm going to be mad at her for that too because I've avoided being sick my whole pregnancy and i don't want to be around it. Plus, she was going to sleep in the nursery that we just worked so hard on to get cleaned and ready so, I'll have to re-clean everything and lysol it all down.

I know I'm being petty but my dad came into town last night and said he saw her the day before and she didn't seem sick at all but still acted like she wasn't going to be coming. So, I feel like she's lying to me. I'm disgusted by the whole situation.

Oh yeah- and I'm wearing a night shirt at work today. DH said I looked great so, even though I know he was just being nice.... I'm going with it!

Happy early Birthday! Tomorrow is DH's birthday too. If it makes you feel any better..the birthday I had after DD was born NO ONE in my family remembered. I spoke to my mom several times on the phone that day and then she came over to see DD and was here for a good hour playing with the baby until I finally blurted out to her that I couldn't believe she hadn't wished me happy birthday, lol. Its all about the baby from here on out : )

I don't have a major FFFC other than that I have been lying to DH at night and waking him up to tell him he is snoring and needs to roll over..he isn't snoring but I don't like how close he is to my pillow and I can literally feel him breathing on me. That, and I just got a shower invite in the mail yesterday when it is being held a week from now, thanks for the notice.

ITGurl0626 · February 2011

I am getting tired of everyone who after asking me what I am having, always wants to tell me a story of someone they know where the u/s was wrong. I know that happens, people!!! But until my baby arrives I am still banking on her being a girl!!
My baby shower is tomorrow (yay!!) but I am not looking forward to seeing some of the people my mother has taken upon herself to invite to my shower.

mommyjenny257 · February 2011

DH and I are moving this weekend. I'm blown away at how FEW people have offered or responded to my request for help! I'm way too pregnant AND on bed rest to do it myself. And DH can't do it all on his own. I've asked everyone I can think of for help, and all have declined or said "I'll call you if I'm not busy on that day". You can be sure I won't be jumping to help you when you're most in need next time! EVEN my Dad and Stepmom have declined to help us!

It's not our fault we ended up in a situation where we had to move this late in the pregnancy. A house we were buying fell through at the very last minute, so we had to scramble to find some place else that would be big enough for our growing family.

That sucks! DH and I moved across country at the beginning of 2nd tri and I was just taken off pelvic rest. We had the same problem. I could do stuff but I wasn't really allowed to do a lot and people just didn't show up. I was in tears. I was so let down. Finally my aunt showed up to say goodbye and she called a whole bunch of people explaining and it worked out but I was so upset about it. DH couldn't do it all alone and I wasn't allowed to move the big heavy stuff. I'm so sorry you have to go through that.

I've totally side-eyed pregnant women in the past who have admitted to phoning it in during their last few months of pregnancy, but I've completely lost motivation to be at work, be social, brush my hair, shave my pits... you know, the normal stuff. I really just want to call into work sick each day, lay on the couch, eat avocados and oranges and wait for these two months to pass. Obviously not going to happen, but a girl can dream.

Me too! I'm dragging a$$ lately. I always thought people were just big whiners, but I'm sooooo tired and soooo lazy and soooo uncomfortable. I just want to sit on my couch forever.

I'm climbing on this bandwagon. I know I'm even a few weeks behind you girls, but I even turned down signing up for aquasize class because I didn't want to have to try and shave every week. I am totally phoning it in at work...I need to get on the ball and get stuff caught up for my leave. I work with pretty much all men and I haven't really complained yet, except for lack of sleep, but I do stupid stuff like trying not to waddle when people are around so they don't make fun of me.

THIS!!!! I recently started sleeping with a pillow on top of my snoogle (and I was out of town last week) but i seriously wake up and he's in my face, literally. He's sleeping on the pillow with me! I mean, I love him, but seriously, preggo needs to breath. I almost want to cry when I wake up and he's on the pillow. I just "gently" nudge him and tell him to back the fVck up!

I do feel bad for him though because he's seriously been cleaning the past few weeks and I have lacked some major motivation to help out...it's pretty easy to say that it's because i'm pregnant and tired but I'm thinking it's just starting to be pure laziness and me not wanting to lift a finger. I'm just waiting for the "nesting" phase...and I'm sure DH is too!

mrs.monica · February 2011

I should be grading right now or prepping or making copies...but instead...I'm parked in my desk chair and bumping. It's Friday after all and I'm tired!

RGWalsh · February 2011

I have been really lacking the motivation to be at work, be social, brush my hair, shave my pits, and do housework as well. I feel bad because DH works hard during the day and I try to at least get a little housework done. I just feel lazy.

Also our basement and spare room are overflowing with stuff because we are plastering the basement. I am sick of looking at the mess and just usually ignore it. I can not wait until things move back to where they belong.

One last thing...DH has had to work late 3 days this week and I really miss him. I am lonely (and a little bored). I know I should enjoy the quiet time now, but I'd rather spend time with hubby.

bre87 · February 2011

ditto to the phoning it in. i've basically forgotten what a prenatal vitamin is.

my confession is that the boyfriend's sister is sending us a big fat check to go get the remaining bit items off our registry so we can save our remaining gift cards for the future. i just want to buy a flip video camera with it instead.

Me 3. I pretty much begged my husband to let me leave work a couple of weeks earlier than planned, even if it means taking some unpaid leave. I don't think he's buying what I'm trying to sell. Sigh.

My doctor's office had a pile of about 100 Baby Talk magazines. Each had a $10 off coupon for Amazon Mom. I took 15. DH was embarassed to learn this, but there was only one other person in the waiting room and I didn't care. Someone might as well take advantage of those coupons (I'm sure I'll share some).

amanda_430 · February 2011

i'm ungrateful and an awful person:( not looking forward to the shower my MIL is throwing me.lots of people I barely know and only 2 people have bought off my registry. My mom's shower I got some much needed big ticket items and it was small and intimate. I feel like I would have rather had a small house shower again....but their apartment was not big enough for one. My parent's are coming to this shower as well and I'm so glad they are coming to entertain me on saturday!

BF class tomorrow and I'm scared...getting mentally prepared for having less control over my body. I feel like I need this class because I still feel weird about BF! I'm going to do it no matter what...but I'm not looking forward to the first weeks where I will need to get up every 2 hrs and have a baby suck on me while I'm on no hours of sleep. anyone else anxious about this?

luvdv8 · February 2011

I've put my daughter back on morning naps after going down to just one a day so I can either get something done without having to pen her up or lay down with her. I ALWAYS take advantage of her afternoon nap, but some days it just isn't enough.

kwitt22 · February 2011

I really feel without the bump and books that I would be the most uninformed pregnant woman alive. My OB tells me nothing, ever. I really like him but I may go with a midwife of some other type of practice next time.

I am also tired of my co-workers asking when my due date is, how I am feeling all the time. All they ever talk to me about is pregnancy related things. It really gets on my nerves.

This made me laugh out loud! Thanks for sharing...and if no one else thought of taking them before you, then you deserved them! The way I see it...you snooze, you lose!

madamsmurfette · February 2011

I am also feeling ungrateful concerning my shower, which is this Sunday. As of now, only a few items have been purchased from my registry. My family usually buys off a registry for a shower. For my bridal shower, I only received one thing that I hadn't registered for. My mom thinks this means I'll be getting a lot of cash and gift cards, which would be fantastic. Their money could actually go further for me when I'm using coupons. But I think my mom is wrong. I think I'm going to end up with tons of stuff I didn't register for and don't really need or want. I jsut know we're going to end up with 150 onesies and 50 receiving blankets.

I wish people would learn to spell "dilation" correctly. Seriously. You have 40 weeks to pick up on the fact that it's not "dialation."

babyrusty · February 2011

CTGirl30:

Let me preface my confession by saying that my ILs truly are good people and they are very excited for their 7th grandchild and coming across the country to visit this summer once the baby is here. My confession is that I do not trust my MIL to take care of this baby, though - in a physical sense. She's super frail, has terrible arthritis that has crippled her hands and left her very weak in the upper body. On their last visit here she actually fell and fractured her knee.

I am totally afraid she'll drop the baby or need more help herself than be helpful to us with a newborn. DH swears up and down she is more than capable to help take care of our baby...I have my serious doubts, though.

Now that you mention it, THIS. My MIL is super excited, but she has broken her back, has a fozen shoulder, busted her knee and fractured her face all in the few few years. I am a little worried about this now that you mention it!

always4278 · February 2011

I have watched an entire season of Desperate Housewives this week instead of reading a novel for one of my classes or studying. I have lost all productive motivation.

Also if my BF says "I can't wait for the nesting phase" and looks around at the mess he has made and would like me to clean I may strangle him...

Yes I've also been a little cranky lately lol.

They still have tomorrow to buy. I know if it were me I would probably buy tomorrow because its the weekend and its easier. And it is kind of ungrateful. They aren't obligated to get you anything at all. Just remember that.

HoolahZinger · February 2011

I have people asking every week about if I am dilated or not. The doctors have not checked me for that yet and it's really no one's business if they did anyhow. Even if I were a couple centemeters, I know it could mean jack crap and that I could still be walking about for weeks with no progress so the questions for updates are making me antsy.

With that, I am ready for LO to come. The sciatica pain is at an all time high, making me burst into tears at some moments. Flame me all you want but I am term so I am ready to be done. Also, I am happy for all the mommas having their babies on this site but also extremely jealous that I have to wait and it's not my time yet. And I reeeeally hate when they make the comment, "Oh, I already miss being pregnant." Yea, that really irks me. Wow, I think I did around four or five FFC on here so I guess I am bound to be burned for one of them even if it is FFFC

MoonlitPlumeria · February 2011

I have another one... I am completely dreading my baby shower. We had just moved, had no car and then I got pregnant with bad m/s and so I couldn't get a job so I essentially have no friends locally. I have a few family members on both sides of my family though. To be honest, I am not concerned with how much I get, or even how many people are there, just embarrassed by lack of invitees. Whats currently irking me is that I am not allowed to help with the planning at all and the two sides of our family can't seem to get anything organized. Technically it was supposed to be this coming weekend but I've been told that its going to be next month instead. I was also informed by my sister that having an Amazon registry is not good enough and instead I need to re-register for everything at Target. At this point I feel like just telling everyone that I don't want a shower!

I know this sounds ungrateful, but I just didn't want anything overly complicated. And I don't even look pregnant so its just me sitting there looking fat in front of everyone!

Want a personalized experience?

It's Friday! WooHoo, FFFC.
