Re: FFFC

  • I really want her out.  I am so uncomfortable now that she dropped.  I know that's bad, but she is really hurting me, her eviction notice is being served.  Doc said three more weeks, just three more weeks...this will be the longest three weeks. 
  • I want someone to throw me a party! Kind of like a sprinkle but I don't need the gifts, I just want a party. I didn't get one for my 30th since I was pg and it was cold and gross out but now the weather is nice and I'm so sick of feeling anti-social and I know it's gonna be worse once LO gets here. Maybe I'll throw myself one... a "come see the nursery" party lol

  • I have a cleaning lady coming in for an estimate today... and I'm a SAHW/M.  I just can't manage cleaning with the twin belly anymore.

    Good for you!!!  (I would totally do it too if I could!!!)

  • re: PP "ready for her to be out."

    This. Her head hits my cervix with every. single. step. I take.

     

    Ugh, forgot to click QUOTE.

  • I seriously get ticked off when my husband complains about something lately. I feel like I should get a total monopoly on the complaining going on in our house. When he has carried around an extra 25 lbs for 7 months and had something kicking him in the ribs constantly, then he gets to complain again.

    This. I have been seeing a chiropractor twice a week now because this pregnancy has been so hard on my back/hips.  I am in a constant state of pain, and of course being pregnant, you can only take Tylenol for the pain (which to me is about as good as drinking a glass of water--it does nothing.) So last night DH started complaining about how he must have hurt his hip somehow because it was sore.  Really? Really?  

  • I'm getting really pissed at DH every time we talk about newborn photos. I hate spending money too, usually even more than he does, but I reallly want them. DH's idea of a compromise is to spend a ton for the photographer, then only buy a couple of prints and none of the digital files (which we were going to use for announcements). He then wants to have his buddy, who is not a photographer, take the pics we use for the announcements. If I'm paying a professional a session fee to take pictures, I am using those professional pictures for the announcements!

  • Even though I know it means nothing as far as when I'll go into labor, I REALLY hope when I go to the Doctor next week for my 36 week appointment that he tells me I'm dilated to a 1 or something. I feel like if he says nothing is happening I will be really sad and start thinking that I'm going to have to be induced....irrational I know since I'm only 36 weeks and I could walk around at 1 cm for 3 weeks and still have to be induced or I could go from no dilation to 10 in a day, but I really want to feel like the process is starting!

  • I thought I would be okay with my belly button popping out. It's out there and I feel self consious about it.

    I also wish LO would move. She gets into this position that puts pressure on my backside. I can barely walk sometimes. Fortunately it's not 24/7.

    I know how you feel.  I felt the same way with DD and when I was at 38 weeks, 4 days and they told me I was only a fingertip I was sure I would pregnant forever. Luckily I went into labor at 39 weeks.  I am scared this time that I won't dilate again before my induction and that it will be an extremely drawn out process.

    Ugh this! DH has been having "sympathy symptoms" and it's driving me crazy! You aren't actually pregnant, get up and help me! While he has been very helpful there is still a ton that really irks me that he doesn't do and I end up doing it. And then he ends his "rough day" by enjoying a drink in our hot tub.

  • As of my midwife appt. yesterday, I have now gained 29 pounds. I am so bummed about this. It's not about my self image -- I feel great about how I look. It's just that I know it's more weight I'm going to have to lose after LO gets here. I was a little overweight before getting pregnant, so at first I thought -- oh, I'll try and only gain 15 - 20 pounds. Perfect! I have seriously been eating pretty much the same as before I was pregnant -- maybe a treat once in awhile. HOW have I gained this much? And it's truly almost all belly -- my clothes, aside from my stomach region, are still fitting the same way. It's just frustrating. I know everyone hates weight posts, so yada yada yada. Just my confession for the day. I am usually very confident, and I still feel great. Just a tad bummed.

  • I have definitely mentally checked out at work.  I want to call out every morning and the days drag by so slowly.  I do have work to do but absolutely no motivation, I'm tired, officially uncomfortable and browse the Bump way too much.  I keep thinking that "tomorrow" I'll get more work done but "tomorrow" never comes.

  • I took the day off today.  For no reason.  I had to work Monday and felt like I deserved a 3-day weekend too, gosh darnit.  I feel a little guilty like I am wasting a day of PTO that I could have spent with LO later in the year, but I hate my job and just need a "ME" day.  My usual weekend day consists of DH asking what I want to clean first. Blah.  No cleaning for me today!

    I have a highlight appointment in an hour and since I only have like $80 until I get paid in a week, it is going on my credit card.  Oh well.  At least my hair will look cute! Big Smile

    Friend, I am right with you! I feel the exact same way, but I take comfort in the fact that everyone keeps telling me how great I look for almost 36 weeks, and the fact that I'm doing the best I can with eating. I try to tell myself that my body is doing what it needs to do to support this baby, and as long as I'm not completely out of range, I'm doing just fine.  No doubt you are the same!

  • This isn't necessarily flameful, but it is a confession. I saw it on another board the other day, and I've been thinking about it myself.

    I do not like my nipples touched, played with, stimulated, etc. They are not useful tools in foreplay for us, and it's always been that way.

    My confession? I'm afraid that means I'll hate breastfeeding. I don't want to fail breastfeeding because I can't stand my nipples being touched. Hopefully it's different when they are a food source for my baby, but I don't know. That's what I'm most scared about post delivery.

    I feel your pain 100%. And no matter how many people tell you it's okay, especially if you are eating well, it still feels crappy to gain so much. You'll get it off after the baby though. :)

    Nipple stimulation is definitely not something I want to try to bring on labor. I hear you have to do it for like 3 hours a day or so for it to be useful (don't quote me on that -- I may be pulling that time out of my butt). The thought of my nipples being stimulated for 3 hours a day makes me shudder. 

    But I really want to breastfeed, so hopefully a baby sucking on them for more than 3 hours a day will not bother me.

    Oy! I tried to do some prepping before my midwife appt. yesterday (I never know when they're going to start wanting to look around down there!), but I cannot even see that area without using a mirror. I feel so 70s feminist trying to examine my whoo with a mirror and a pair of scissors!

    Nipple stimulation doesn't do a whole lot for me (sexually) either, but I take a totally different view than you on how that will relate to BFing. I think it will make BFing easier since I won't have any other thoughts in mind. I figure, since having my nipples touched doesn't turn me on, it means I'll have no problem having a babe latched to them for hours a day! Also, it means DH and I can still (eventually) get our foreplay and sex thang on without worrying about how my nipples will be.

    Yes  I'm so glad I'm not the only one who feels this way.

    I saw that post too...I've taken to reading other boards' UOs because ours has become so boring around here :P Anyway, I am the same. I do not really enjoy nipple foreplay either but since breastfeeding is totally not sexual in anyway, I think it was easy for me to separate the two. It was not a pleasurable feeling in and of itself, but rather, the act of it...the bonding, knowing your body was providing nourishment for your child, the closeness... it made breastfeeding wonderful. I did it successfully for two years.

    Also, it does hurt in the beginning, but if the latch is correct, you don't really even feel nipple stimulation if that makes sense, because the whole (or nearly) areola goes in the mouth. It's hard to describe until you've done it, but they are two totally different things and I hope those of you with fears about it have the positive experience that I did :) Sending best wishes to you all!

    I seriously get ticked off when my husband complains about something lately. I feel like I should get a total monopoly on the complaining going on in our house. When he has carried around an extra 25 lbs for 7 months and had something kicking him in the ribs constantly, then he gets to complain again.

     

    This. I have been seeing a chiropractor twice a week now because this pregnancy has been so hard on my back/hips.  I am in a constant state of pain, and of course being pregnant, you can only take Tylenol for the pain (which to me is about as good as drinking a glass of water--it does nothing.) So last night DH started complaining about how he must have hurt his hip somehow because it was sore.  Really? Really?  

    This is me.  I go to the chiro 2x a week as well.  And the pain has been so bad that I cannot walk at times and my OB sent me to L&D twice for the pain!  When DH complains, it irks me.  I also gave him zero sympathy when he gained 15lbs and got stretch marks on the sides of his abdomen and his hips.

  • My confession is that as much as I think 2nd showers are silly...I sort of wish someone would do a little "sprinkle" or something. I am surprised by my feelings on this because I always thought they were dumb, but as the birth gets closer I just feel like my 2nd child is just that...2nd fiddle so-to-speak. Our son was "oooh'ed and ahhhh'ed" over and showered in excitement and gifts, but this one, nope. And it's not about gifts at all...just the overall lack of interest and excitement I 'spose.

    Also, this board is a real drag lately. I miss a lot of the regulars that were around in the beginning and things are just getting so redundant. But, I just have no interest in the FB group, so, waaaaah :P

    Oh, and I listened to Tupac with my son in the car yesterday (but not too loud) :P
