I am so sick of hearing about the Royal Wedding (but secretly I will be dvr'ing (if that is a real word) it to see what everyone is wearing etc.

Re: FFFC!!!
Tomorrow is my sons 3rd Birthday & I purposefully didnt tell a few people about it because I dont want them here. They never & I mean neverrrr my kids (or us, empty handed at shower & wedding even) anything, not even a 50 cent card & $1 helium balloon at a store they have to drive past to get here. They can afford it, my kids just arent important enough for a gift but theyre ok eating our food, cake, & ice cream.
Sadly they'll find out from someone else and show up anyway, thats why we didnt invite the people who will tell them to the pizza party & just to the cake. If you're ok eating my food you can at least cough up a frigging dollar to get my kid a balloon.
I attacked J at 4 this morning. I was having some contractions last night so he refused to give me any loving so I took it from him this morning.
My blog
I haven't worked out since Christmas. I don't care, I was tired and sick, and now I'm just tired. (though DH seems to think an afternoon nap will cure all my tiredness at night).
I think I'm going to paint my kitchen yellow. (Guess that's not really a confession).
I send how many days we have let until June 29th to DH a couple times a week so he can start freaking out about things getting done the way I am.
I hate that DH joined the golf group at Church. They meet every Friday at 4:30 starting today. It's a Catholic Church, they couldn't have started AFTER Easter?? Really??
Mine just joined one at work. Now everytime I see him on his computer, he's looking at golf gear..
My FFFC: I ate gas station pizza 2x this week. Like, it was the only pizza that sounded good. Weeeird.
A couple weeks ago MH told me he's starting to get a little uncomfortable thinking about sex and the baby. At first I thought ok, cool, I'm off the hook.
Fast forward a couple weeks and now I feel like he's challenged me and I need to take what's mine! I am realizing how badly I want to do things people tell me I can't!
RAARRRRR Watch out!
I woke up having to manually send 3,000 emails out to my Prospects thanks to my wonderful marketing team refusing to help and send an email blast for me.
But.....thanks to the wonderful Google - I taught myself how to send it out. I'm sure someone in corporate is going to be p!ssed I just blasted out 1,000 emails (daily limit) and I'm having my assistant send out a second batch in an hour.
Take that corporate red tape!
If my mother tells me one more time to stop buying things for my child....I'm going to snap her neck.
"wait for the shower"
"wait to see how she grows, she could grow fast or be a peanut"
"you're going to get this for your shower"
"You don't know what diapers you'll like"
I'm jealous MH started losing weight (he originally gained about 10 lbs early in my pg). I am upwards of 30 lbs weight gain with working out (and not just walking- cardio + strength training) 4 days a week (provided I'm also indulging in treats) and I feel like a cow.
I have fat face. I feel ugly.
I want to give H some loving, and our track record for the pregnancy has been decent... but I'm not for a few reasons-
1. I am so bull at him for being so forgetful and doing things half ass. I am so fvcking sick of picking up after him and doing everything around the house. And really, he couldn't remember to put the frozen chicken and frozen blueberries back in the freezer after he made himself dinner last night (I had an early dinner and went to bed early)...so this morning I woke up to blueberry mush in a bag and raw contaminated chicken on the counter. I thought I was going to get sick.
2. I am sick of his hairy face. He usually kept a nice clean chin strap...and when he asked if I minded if he grew it out to be like a beard a little, I said no, but please keep it clean/trimmed. It is a disaster now. It's like kissing a brillo pad and I'm grossed out by it and the mustache it comes with. I get there are things going on in our lives (ahem, baby) and his mind is elsewhere, and I have been patient...but I am done.
Wow. I guess I needed to get some stuff out this morning.
Along the lines of this, my H has decided to grow a 'playoff' beard along with our favorite hockey team. I love hockey and all, but I don't know if I can take it if they go all the way to the Stanley Cup!
Mine: After my appointment yesterday, with my high BP reading, I was told to not eat fast food any more. Yeah I stopped at McDonalds this morning because I just couldn't help it. I will try my hardest not to have any until my next appointment on the 4th.
LMAO at your PIP!
I'm in the same boat as you. I didn't think anyone was throwing me a baby shower and so I didn't register. Then, my MIL & SIL offered to throw me one and I got put on bed rest so I can't go in person. I'm doing a Wish List on Amazon but it's just not the same.
Love this.
I'm pretty sure that both of our families hate our baby name. They haven't said anything, but... I let this bother me more than I should.
I've been slacking on a lot of things lately. We just moved and I'm just totally preoccupied with getting things in order and starting on the nursery.
My shower is in three weeks and my hostess hasn't sent out invitations or done anything. This wouldn't stress me out so much except my MIL (other side of the family) gives me daily updates of how many days away the shower is and how no one is going to come because they aren't being given enough notice. We also registered at amazon, and I'm thinking no one will buy off of my registry because they won't have time to do the shipping. I'm a huge spoiled brat for being worried by this, and you probably should flame me for it.
I promise that I won't tell any of my DH's family about the party.....they would definitely show up in the same manner!!!
Happy Birthday to C tomorrow
I am doing this also. I feel horrible, but I just can't move once I get home from work!
I SHOULD be doing this! It's really hard to get DH motivated to help get the room ready, even though we've ordered carpet and have a ton to do before it gets installed!
My FFFC: I have been letting myself eat whatever I want all week, since I know that after my Endocrinologist appt and GD seminar today, I will know what I can and can't eat, and have no excuses. I have a feeling I'm going to miss ice cream...
I'm kinda bummed because of the labor buddy thing. Mine sent me a pm that I responded too. I haven't heard from her since or seen her on TB.
I'm sick of friends who don't have children telling me how my life is going to be after mine are born. If you had BTDT it would be different. Someone actually told me that DH wouldn't want me anymore after he saw me give birth the first time. I guess we proved her wrong.
I've never heard of this... does he still do the GD test for everyone? Is this normal for Drs in your area?
I cannot imagine giving up sugar (unless medically necessary). I LOVE chocolate & desserts! I feel really bad for you. I think I would probably cheat and still eat them.
I don't like Cadbury cream eggs, either.
I am ridiculously excited that I get to participate in FFFC today since I am home on spring break!
1. Sometimes I delete people off of my friends list on Facebook if they beat my Bejeweled Blitz score.
2. I am so sick of people complaining about their registries. A registry is a suggestion of things that you would like, not the bible of what people HAVE to buy. While it is awesome to get things off of your registry, be grateful for what you do receive!
3. I ate an entire box of Reese's Puffs cereal in 2 days.
I have a friend with IF. They've been trying (i.e., not avoiding) to get pregnant for 4 or 5 years now, but only just started going to see a specialist to figure out what is wrong. She complains about the cost of the specialists, but I cannot feel bad for her at all.
She does not have maternity coverage with her insurance plan, but she is not going to buy a rider. She plans to just go on state coverage once she does finally get pregnant. I have an issue paying for her pregnancy's medical care, especially since she is a SAHW. She got laid off from her job about 6 months ago, which she thought was great because she could then focus on college full time. However, once she found out she wouldn't receive unemployment if she was in school, she quit school.
I just can't feel sympathy for her medical bills at all. I wish she wasn't dealing with IF, of course, but don't complain to me about the cost of having a baby when you don't plan to pay for actually having the baby, just for getting pregnant.
That's really disappointing; I bet you could find a second buddy from someone you just connect with naturally. I did notice that there were a few people who signed up who had fewer than 100 posts -- I think one had only like 30 or 40 -- and wondered how that would work out for their buddies.
I am shocked by this. They are one of my most favorite things in the world. I'm jealous that you don't have them as a temptation.
((hugs)) Can you go sit outside on your porch or something when it gets warm? It seems like we're in the same boat when it comes to our hubbies, too. I feel so bad because he's having to pick up the work that I can't do right now. He says he doesn't mind, but I still feel bad!
My DH just switched from 2nds/3rds to 1st so it is great that we can actually see each other more than just on weekends but man was it nice having the TV to myself and eating what I wanted for dinner and not having to think about what he wants. Its only been a week and I am already tired of ESPN.
Mine:I have been at work for over 2 hours and just recently logged on to my computer. None of us at the office feel like working so we have just been talking all morning, and already have where we're going for lunch planned.
This reminded me of another one I have. The courier for our bank is telling everyone not to buy me anything but diapers for my shower, that I don't need anything else but diapers. I know I should be grateful that people are even wanting to buy me something for our shower and that I'm having a shower at all, but I really wish he'd stop telling everyone that. We do need other things besides diapers!
That makes me sound like a spoiled brat, but I'm really not. And I know that just b/c he's telling people that doesn't mean that that's all they'll buy me, but still. I wish he'd just stop.
My time reports look like swiss cheese this week. Partly because there were so many clients in the office earlier this week. I couldn't get work done. Later in the week it's because I have zero motivation to work. I have been bumping shopping and doing research online for three days.
I have been using all of my off time to spend quality time with DS. There are tons of things that need to get done at home. I feel like I need to pack in some mommy one on one time with him.
Not only do I not feel bad for her, I'm actually a little pissed. I have a friend who got PG by accident while unemployed and got on state medicare, and was basically "sure, why not have a c-section, get extra ultrasounds, etc. It's free!" Um, not it's not, I'M paying for it!
I had every intention of starting yoga after my morning sickness ended.
But I haven't.
I don't work out. Too tired and too much pain. I drink soda daily. I eat fast food. Even though I have high BS readings occasionally...I just can't give up my sweets! (I usually don't like sweets too much) .
I WILL be eating cadbury mini eggs, jelly beans, peeps, chocolate dipped peeps, peep cake, and YES...a friggin small glass of champaigne punch this Easter Sunday. I am drinking a Sonic Java Chiller as I type.
I would say flame away...but A) I don't care and B...this is FF f'n FC!
AAACK! I can't stop: I don't give a rat's a** about my shower. Someone'll throw one. They have every pregnancy. It's jeans and friggin T-shirt people! I am not searching for the perfect dress/outfit to wear. WHO the HELL cares!!!!!! I love my MIL. If she was annoying...I'd tell her to SHUT UP instead of whining about her. If SO didn't like me talking to his mom like that...he'd shut her up before she annoyed me OR go move back in with her if he was so butt-hurt about it!
I feel better. Caffeine will kick in soon....
Hmm. Not only do I not LIKE them at all, I think I vehemently detest them. I have a pretty unreasonable reaction to them.
I also hate Peeps.
