FFFC!
This discussion has been closed.
Re: FFFC!
Me too! I really wanna see baby again and I don't want to pay $100 for a dang 3D/4D. Does anyone know of some "symptoms" I can fake to get another sonogram? JK...sorta
Every time I feel her in my ribs I get scared to death that she is going to break something. Her movement is so strong and violent.
I remember your old SN! How funny. This is about my 3-5th incarnation on the Knot/Nest/Bump. I don't exactly remember where I know your name from, but I definitely remember it.
I started out on the Knot in 2003, moved to the Nest sometime in 2004-2005.

this is my second for the day....
i admit to being totally ridiculous about having to take the 3hr GTT. i'm healthy, i'm skinny. i know how to eat right. it is frustrating beyond all get out to see these posts about women indulging in crazy amounts of sugary foods. i admit that i don't have a perfect diet, but i'm just floored that i have to take the 3hr. this may or may not include a silly amount of tears...
My FFFC, which might be an UOT?... I got my ears pierced for the first time at 16 years old as a form of body modification (just simple lobe piercings, not gauges or anything). Because I see it as body modification, I think piercing a baby's ears at any age that they cannot consent is really sadistic. Even when it is done culturally, it really turns my stomach and I see it as comparable to tattooing your baby.
It is her body, maybe she doesn't want holes in her ears... and I think this will be flamed regardless.
How DARE you judge me? What if I want it done for a religious reason?? I've read TON of research that says they heal faster when the child is younger! And my mom did it so it must be okay? I bet you won't curcumsize either because it's abuse???
I am so much better than you
!
(all kidding aside, I probably will do it as soon as I can talk DH into it )
I only want my husband and I in the room when I go into labor. But he works out of state and am afraid he won't be there. So I decided to ask my sister and sister-in-law to be back up just in case..and when DH gets there they are gone.
I broke the news to my mom and she was upset..The reason I dont' want her in the room with me is because she was in the room 9 months ago when my sister was in labor and she passed out!
She was asking me if it was because she passed out and it was s fluke thing and I lied and said "N it's because we don't want any parents to feel left out" so I picked my sister and sister-in-law..
I feel bad lying to my mom, but I don't want to worry about if she's ok while I'm in labor! I'll have enough on my mind!
But wait, this is FFFC.....we NEVER flame on this thread! I'm pretty sure of this because it comes up every Friday...lol

DH is starting a new job next week and has training all of next week and will miss my OB appt next week. Up to this point, just he and I have been at u/s and such and then shared with our parents.
My mom understands why we want to experience things just the two of us, but got upset when I told her she couldn't come to the 4D u/s last week. Well, now that DH can't be there next week, I think she's going to go with me. She's like a kid on Christmas morning.
My confession - I never really had issue with either of my parents being at u/s but I didn't really want MIL there.
I know I know, but I'm never around to play on Fridays, I just read the aftermath. The only difference in my confession is that I see it as the same as a tattoo... you might as well go take your daughter to get a tramp stamp that says "I'm so cute and feminine!" Haha, ok, not THAT extreme, but too similar IMO...
*makes puppy eyes at elisabu* sorry! not judging, somehow, I swear! just not what I would do...
That's not at all flameworthy to me. I feel the same way. We aren't going to let our daughter get her ears pierced until she is old enough to not only ask for them but to truly understand what it is. She also has to take of them herself. So she'll probably be 12 when she gets it done.

I was really upset about having to take the 3 hr test, too. I cried for like 20 minutes in the shower so DH wouldn't hear me (thought the water would drown out the sound... but I was totally wrong). I failed the 1 hr by 2 points. When I went to take the 3 hr the nurse told me that after the first hour my glucose level was at 102 (it had to be under 170). I was kind of shocked. When I asked how that was possible, she said that the 1 hr is just a "screening" and many people who fail it pass the 3 hr without any problem at all. The 3 hr is far more accurate, but they don't want to put everyone through it.
Anyway, I'm sorry you have to go through the 3 hr test. The biggest help for me was being able to take a nap during the test. They gave me a private room to go into for a while. If no one offers that to you, make sure you ask because I seriously felt 10000% better after sleeping.
I hope that you pass it and that there's nothing to worry about it. And remember that if you do have it that it's completely manageable and goes away when the baby is born. Good Luck!!

I have this same issue with my mom. She has early onset Alzheimer's and her motor skills have gone way downhill. She needs help dressing herself. I really want her to hold the baby while she is in town, but there will have to be strict guidelines - she has to sit, not try to walk, baby will be swaddled, etc. It kind of breaks my heart.
My first FFFC: There is girl in the building I work at who is pregnant, about two months behind me. And I want to smack her all of the time. She is either bragging about how her rich relatives have bought all of her expensive carseats/strollers/other baby gear, or talking about all of the complications she is going through (which are none, just the usual things that go with pregnancy - peeing all the time, being tired, etc). I am starting to sit with other people at lunch so I don't have to deal with her drama, but she has such a loud voice I hear it no matter where I am sitting.

So here's a stupid question.
If you post over at the Nest, does it use your same profile pic and sig as on the Bump?
Sometimes there are interesting threads over there but I'm afraid I'll forget and make a comment and look like a dork with my Bump ticker.
aww, thanks for your input! that does make me feel better. i don't think that i will fail it, i guess it's just a slap in the face to eat even healthier than i already am. thanks for the nap tip! i'll definitely have to ask for that. i was planning on taking my crochet stuff, and maybe a book, but i hadn't thought about taking a nap!
Yes, it's the same. But most pg nesties have tickers, too. It's not uncool to have one.

Confession: I was grabbing laundry this morning and saw the green shirt I had on yesterday that I threw on the bed...there were 2 weird brown specks on there, and upon further investigation I realized it was chocolate (flaked off) from some caramel squares I ate last night.
...and I really wanted to eat it.

I now have a crush on you!
Sounds like you need to step it up and enforce your house rules. When they are with their Mother, they can do whatever she allows, but in your house you and DH make the rules. Time to nip that in the bud. Make sure you and DH are on the same page before you throw out some rules to the kids. If DH doesn't back you up, it will just get worse. Good luck!
Haha. love this. I dropped part of cookie on the floor and secretly wanted to pick it up and eat it, but I know DH would have picked on me forever. (The reason I really shouldn't eat it off the floor is we have a dog that sheds like crazy so I am sure there was dog hair all up on it!)
My confession for the week: I think people sound ridiculous when they're having a boy and they talk about how their husband, thank goodness, is getting his son. I've never understood why so many women worry about being able to "give" their husband a son. Little girls are just as worthy as little boys. I understand people experience gender disappointment, but I don't understand how not birthing boys can make you less of a woman.
(Like I've mentioned before, though, my in-laws are super disappointed our baby is a girl, so this is a subject I'm sensitive about).
My MIL has been in a crafty mood lately and feels the need to handmake everything the baby needs. I'm ok with a couple things here and there but she has gone into overdrive with this and I don't like most of what she makes. Now when she asks me if I have "this" or "that", I just lie and say yes so that she won't go homemake one. I know this sounds really mean but in the end it saves her time and money and it saves my closet space.
I totally agree with this! I know my husband really wants a boy, but for him its more about not being so outnumbered, we have all girls and our dog is female!
This roots back to the beginning of society and the need to produce a male heir to carry on the family legacy.
I don't think families love boys more and girls less, but I do think they may have a fear of their family name dying out.
My In-Laws are really dependent on my husband and I having a son eventually, but when they found out we were having a girl they didn't show any disappointment.
And I think when women say they "gave husband his son" they are probably just happy to have pushy In-Laws off their back.
You can send it to me if you want.
Ah, I'm just too much of a feminist is the problem. I often feel the need to buck society. My MIL has serious issues with the fact that I've never legally changed my last name.
And I just tell my MIL to tell it to one of her other children, and I tell my SILs to have another themselves if they want a boy so bad!
DH has plenty of cousins with the same last name as him though, so it's not like the family name will die off, as in your situation.
I have a couple of confessions:
One, I'm so sick of being forgetful. I never believed that pregnancy could make you actually forget things, but I was WRONG! I've been getting kids that I've had since August mixed up (I teach high school), and yesterday, I left my headlights on all day and went to leave yesterday and had a DEAD battery. My DH tried to jump me off to no success, so my car as been in the school parking lot since yesterday morning, and I had to go to work this morning at 6:00 (two hours early) since DH had to drop me off on his way to work. So, this forgetfullness crap? NOT COOL!
Also, and this one is directly aimed at my mother, but I HATE facebook. I'm so tired of hearing about it. I don't have one, don't want one, and frankly, think that updating your status every ten seconds when you are over 20, is really sad. No one cares that much what you're doing. And, no, mom, you're not putting pictures of my son on your public facebook page.
Okay, I'm done. You know, this is the first time I've done FFFC, but i actually do feel better.
This might be more of an UO at this point in our pregnancies...
I am so tired of peeing all the time!
I wanted to slap a friend today for whining about how she was driving 2.5 hours one way with a toddler (the same age as DS) to only get to see her DH for a couple of hours before coming back home. She knows I haven't seen DH in two months and won't for another yet. She has a crappy marriage and they both have cheated on each other. It made me want to shake her and say STFU at least you can drive to see your hubby.
I'm || this close to telling my mom she isn't allowed to watch DS anymore because I can't trust her to respect the boundaries I've set. But I know she'll turn that into "I can't believe you won't let me see my grandson over a video!" and I hate her drama more than I hate her letting my son watch garbage on the tv every time he sees her.
I judge people who get tattoos when I know daamn well they can't afford it, then they post it all over Facebook the next day that they can't pay their freaking cell phone bill. Just because you got a tax return does not mean it is a good idea to blow $200 when you say you are broke 11 months out of the year.
I had the misfortune of visiting my best friend the week after her $7k tax refund came last month. It was gone within a month. $3k on a minivan (they have 5 daughters), the rest on eating out and junk, junk, crap, and more junk. Not paying the bills they are months behind on, or anything else because they are on every kind of welfare they can get. Ugh.
And I was made fun of because I don't own a GPS. WTF.
I totally smashed a piece out of our fridge yesterday(it was already broken) to relieve some tension and let out some stress from work.
I feel kinda guilty and silly for doing it now, but it made me feel SO much better!
#2 I hate, hate, HATE FIL's stupid friggin houseplants! I want to start poisoning them to be rid of them!
#3 I am still pretty flexible despite my bump. I feign helplessness when I feel DH has been ignoring me too much.
I would have had to tell her to STFU! I would drive across country right now to see my husband if it were an option! Even though I would have to stop every 30 minutes to 1 hour to pee!
This. I'm getting really anxious, partly because I don't finish this semester of classes until 39 weeks, but mostly because I don't feel ready for this LO to arrive at all. I was/am so excited, but the worry about not knowing what to do has kicked in now that I'll be 30 weeks tomorrow!

I doubt that this would be unpopular with anyone, as May moms are now in the 3rd trimester. I am ready to move into the bathroom for the rest of the pregnancy to avoid running in there every five minutes!
