Re: FFFC :-)
Banana Pudding milkshake?!?!?! Are these new????? Looks like I'll be making a trip to Chick-fil-a today!!
I wish I could go live somewhere else.
H thought it would be a great idea to get a puppy over Valentine's weekend, and now he isn't making the effort necessary to teach puppy manners, house breaking, etc -- all part of the deal because I told him this would have to be his project because I've been super sick and I'm still in school FT :
I knew H would do this, but this time I can't swoop in and fix everything. I just don't have it in me.
It really drives me nuts when girls are wishing that their babies come early. There is this girl on facebook who still has 4 weeks left and she's hoping the baby comes this weekend. I mean come on! Why would you hope for a premature baby?!? I understand if there are medical issues and if it's safer for the baby to be out, then get it out. But just because you're uncomfortable? I find it quite selfish. You never know what problems might occur. I want my baby in my belly where I know he/she is the safest. Yes, it'll suck being tired and in pain, but it's worth it to me to have a healthy baby.
lamest confession in the history of the world - you've been warned:
I am close friends with A and B. Long before any of us were ttc we always mentioned throwing each others baby showers. A got a surprise BFP two weeks before I did (so she's due 8/1). As soon as she did, B mentioned that she wanted to throw her shower and I said that I definitely wanted to help.
Now we have a date, a guest list and several others hosts involved (several of who are my friends). Not a single person has mentioned throwing me a shower. I know it's lame to have my feelings hurt. I don't know that I would accept if they offered as we're prepared to buy everything ourselves, but dammit, they're supposed to offer! I already turned down another offer for a shower because I was sure that A and B were going to throw one.
Whaaaaaaa.
lol, okay, I won't mention it again.
MH tried to pull the same thing. My inlaws bought us a puppy bc he wanted one and I was livid. So far it's still living at his dad's, but I know we'd be in the same situation. I'm sorry you're dealing with that.
My confession - my SIL had a baby a couple of weeks ago and I judge everything she does. I know you can't know what it's really like until you have your own baby, but I can't help it.
My Blog - Taking You Home
My fffc is that I find breastfeeding fanatics to be annoying beyond measure. Those that haven't even had children yet are even worse.
It's actually rather amusing to me how much some women care/worry about what others decide to do in regards to feeding THEIR baby.
FWIW, I plan on bf'ing this baby and think it's great when a mother can and does.
They are new and AMAZING!! If you do nothing else this weekend, help yourself to a taste of heaven
I confess that the other night I ate: a bowl of cereal, 2 subway sandwiches, a bowl of strawberries, 3 reece' pieces easter eggs and carrots w/ dip... between the hours of 5-9... oops!
I also confess that I had the best nights sleep in about 2 weeks last night because mh was out of town, it was great!
// I love you too. //
I can totally get on board with this one. Except this kid will be bottle fed from day one.
In fact, I think first time mothers who are 100% convinced of anything they will do before their kid arrives are a riot.
Was it good? My husband keeps talking about it!!!!
This.
Obviously it's good to have ideas for what you will and won't do with your firstborn, but I learned really quickly with Kidlet #1 that some of those big plans will go right out the window once the baby actually arrives. Even with #2, there's still some uncertainty because you don't know what your baby's preferences will be, or if any extenuating circumstances will arise that throw a kink into your plans. Babies and life with them = unpredictable!
// I love you too. //
they are to die for.
Agree. But don't look at the calorie content! Ugh I just finished mine like 3 hours ago and now I want another one.
Here goes:
We live in a house with 4 apartments. We live in an upper one. The girl that lived in one of the lower ones moved out this week. Our landlord offered the apartment to us, and we GLADLY accepted. (It is all on one level, with two bedrooms, so we will have a room for LO finally, and FI's other child) The girl across the hall upstairs asked us about it, because apparently she wanted it too. I don't even feel bad for taking it. We need the space badly. Four people in a one bedroom just won't cut it.
I had a 20oz diet coke, an entire can of pringles, and a baby ruth for dinner last night. ::high five::
H was working and I need to go to the grocery store. I really wanted corned beef and cabbage :
I think it's quite annoying when other bumpies respond to posts they haven't read thouroughly. Certain discussions become judgemental arguements when it's just not necessary. We are all here to express our opinions and support each other and this should always be done with respect. For the record I am a first time mom who will BF my baby anytime, anywhere. I'm just a little modest about it and I take no issue with any mother who isn't.
This is how I feel (but the opposite) when we find out what the baby is. Both of our mothers have said how excited they are about a granddaughter. I know they will love the baby no matter what it is, but I am just worried everyone is going to be let down. I feel pressure for something that no one can control.
Ooh I have one more, going off of the theme of making plans before things actually happen. When I go into labor, I want to deliver vaginally. Cool. BUT, if something happens and they have to do a c-section (you know, besides the doc just wanting to get it over and done with-I mean a legitimate reason), I'm perfectly comfortable with them needing to do that.
The more I watch documentaries and shows when the women become hysterical at the thought of a c-section, the more I'm all about whatever has to happen, happens. I don't know if this is even really a confession, now that I've read it.
My first one is work related. I have my review today and I caught a glimpse of some of the comments that were made by my managers. Some were negative and came out of nowhere, and untrue. Part of me wants to question whether I'm being discriminated against because I'm pregnant.... It's not nice, but it might scare my manager a little
The other is that I've had 2 mini blizzard dinners this week. And I'd probably go more often but feel like the lady at the check-out counter is judging me

Mine: I actually don't like St. Patrick's Day. I like Irish culture but using this day as an excuse to get wasted at a bar and drink green beer? strange.
My husband's BELOVED team lost last night in the NCAA tourney and I am kind of happy b/c that means he won't care quite so much the rest of the time and he might actually be helpful and work in the yard with me the next few weekends.
Mine is truely the worst.
We haven't taken our Christmas lights down. I put them up before I was pregnant and I am not keen on getting on a ladder now, so I keep reminding (nagging) DH and he keeps putting it off.
It is so embarrasing.

Me too!!
It kind of bothers me when moms who already have kids laugh at first time moms for making plans, I mean didn't you have ideals of what you would do/not do when baby came? I think it's important to know what you want to do. I cannot express enough how I realize that flexibility is needed and you might not get what you want, and I'm prepared for that - but I think its better to go into a situation knowing the information and a having plan (then changing it, if need be) versus not not being prepared at all.
Don't feel so bad - we just took ours down last weekend (and that was only because we had people over, otherwise they'd still be there)
The ironic thing is I read an article where women with a birth plan were more likely to have a c-section because they tended to be more stressed out about it and less flexible. I think it's awesome to advocate for yourself and try your hardest to have a vaginal delivery, but the bottom line is the baby has to come out one way or another so stressing about it won't do any good.
So off subject of the FFFC.... but I work for the company that makes the shake mixes for Chik Fil A. I get to bring shake mix home! Perk of the job!! Cookies n Cream is my favorite!
Ha, I totally agree. And, those that might actually want to see your boobs are probably total pervs. I doubt you'd want them staring, anyway.
My other confession - if one more person tells me how uncomfortable I'm going to be this summer I might hit them. I am fully aware that it's hot in the summer, but FFS if I'm actually lucky enough to be pg during the last 3 months of my pregnancy I will take whatever heat and sweat and whatever the summer throws my way. It can't be any worse than being stuck in bed and having to use a bedpan or watching your child struggle to survive in a plastic box.

This is the point I was trying to make-thank you! It's exactly all of this-get the baby out so that he's safe.
I have two, both pretty lame!
FFFC #1: I had a huge exam yesterday and had spent the entire week studying. Yesterday as I was picking up binder separators I may have also grabbed a Hershey's bar...and reese pieces (BOGO deal). I rarely eat one thing of candy, much less two but I devoured them both - I only told DH about the reese.
FFFC #2: My best friend just found out she's pregnant. I am really happy for her. She got pregnant her first month trying and I gotta admit - I felt pretty jealous for a second (it took us a few months), even though I had hoped it'd be easy for her! Now I'm just happy.
If one more person tells me that I am going to have my hands full with girl drama.. someone's gonna get smacked.. I was a teenager once, I'm aware.
I don't care for judgmental people.. everyone is entitled to their own opinion and way of doing things..
Last night for dinner DH and I got fruit smoothies from Smoothie King.. afterwards I was still starving and got Wendy's chicken nuggets..
We're having an elective u/s tomorrow to find out the sex of the baby.
If MIL or my mom have a fit because it's a boy, I will lose my mind. My son was born with an unexpected birth defect. Things like that should change a family's perspective on a few things. Sex means nothing if the baby is going to face challenges just to survive. So, while my MIL having a little crying fit at my SIL's u/s is fine, it AIN'T gonna fly with me!!
(yes, I used the word ain't - I NEVER use the word ain't)
what about probly vs. probably?
While I do make some spelling errors, those who make many and really don't seem to care drive me C-R-A-Z-Y!
