Re: FFFC

  • I judge and see my house the same way I do myself - I tend to only see the imperfections and what I want to change instead of the growth and the many wonderful things about it.

    Also I don't get people don't work on a house they aren't happy with - I understand time and money are constraints but things like nailing curtain panels to the top off a window when the rods are $2ish and would look so much less ghetto. And then hearing them complain oh we have to leave that curtain down because we need some privacy from our neighbors - mini blinds aren't that expensive or hard to install either!

  • Mine is that I do not find morning sickness "reassuring." I would be just as pregnant, whether I am sick or not. It is an inevitable consequence of becoming pregnant for me, and it's something that has to be lived with, but in no way do I think of it as a settling reminder of being pregnant. It is especially aggravating to me that it seems the majority of women who say that it is "reassuring" are the ones who aren't having any morning sickness!

  • 1. I worry about every little thing and have contemplated going to the ER a few times just for reassurance even though I would never do it unless I had a real valid concern.

    2. I have no interest in sex and don't see it coming back any time soon! Poor husband! lol

  • I have laughed at my fellow bumpies on here who make "I will never" statements when they don't even have kids yet. It's very easy to say "I will never make my toddler a separate meal" when you've never had to deal with a screaming starving toddler who won't eat. I used to do the same thing before I had a baby and was in for a seriously rude awakening.

  • My house is in such disarray I'm not sue I'll ever get it clean, nor do I care.  I couldn't even vacuum right now because there is so much crap all over the floors... and pretty much every surface.  I someone was coming over in 30 minutes I would be screwed.

  • #1. I haven't done ay work in the last two days... I know that I'm going to have to pay for it next week but well... So freaking what?!?

    #2. I've had to ward off my obsession for nursery bedding... My bestie is due in September and she emails me links to great places for bedding then we talk for hours while rummaging through various websites...

  • MH and I haven't had sex since my BFP.  I really have no desire but I think I need to give it up soon for his sake.

  • 1 - With some of the idiotic posts I've seen around TB lately and the horrible behaviour of my neighbors teenage kids I'm reaffirmed in my belief you should have to pass some sort of test before you can have a child. 

    2 - Piggybacking on my irritation w/ TB posts is posts where weight in pregnancy is discussed and over and over and over you see posts about these women who are halfway to 3/4 thru their pregnancy and "Haven't gained a pound" really seem like braggy b!tches who want to make everyone else feel like a big fat whale. Seriously, are there really that many women out there who don't gain weight when pg? Cause I've never heard of such a thing in such rampant proportions anywhere else. And do they realize that puts them in the category of "not normal" and frankly makes me question whether they'd be pg at all if my #1 FFFC were applied.

  • This is probably more of a UO than a FFC, but I don't care AT ALL how much weight other women have gained or lost during their pregnancy. If you've gained 20 lbs. in your first trimester, or are down 5 lbs. in your third trimester, it doesn't make a bit of difference to me.

    Yes to this!!

    I agree. I have had horrible m/s since week 4 and its only gotten worse (not better as some women like to think it does the closer you get to 12-14 wks). While I dont "hate being pregnant" and of course I want my LO to grow each day and be healthy and comfy...I feel like $&%* daily. I cry daily. I vom daily. I would GLADLY give up most of my symptoms and still be (like you said) just as pregnant. Zofran isnt even working anymore. I'm done with all this "reassurance"!!! :p

  • I think its dumb when I see the "omg I'm only 6 weeks but I look 6 months pregnant with this bloat" posts. Seriously 6 months?? If your already "showing" (and it IS bloat) just flaunt it. If you dont want to then dress accordingly so that it isnt obvious. Sorry but I find it hard to believe you look 6 months pregnant when the baby is the size of a tic tac! Thats all.

  • We're supposed to go see my mother in law on Sunday for a 4th of July picnic.  I have zero desire to go see them and talk about the pregnancy.  DH announced it to her on his own and I haven't seen her since then.  I would love nothing more than for her to have absolutely nothing to do with this prenancy just to preserve my own sanity.

  • I think a lot of people feel this way so I don't know if it's FFC but it's bugging the sh*# out of me.  My MIL calls and tells me how much she misses my daughter all the time.  That's nice that she is missing her, but I know she is hinting that she wants us to come visit and we really are just too busy right now.  She chose to have her knee replaced and we went there a few times to visit, but we just sit around because she can't do anything and listen to her and FIL tell my daughter to "watch our for Babci's knee".  We get it.  You're recovering.  We decided to stay out of the way for a little while so she could relax.

    I called them last week (she's back on her feet now) and asked if they wanted to come to our cabin for the 4th if only for the day.  I know my H really wanted to see them because he wanted to tell them I was PG in person and not over the phone.  She FB messaged me yesterday that since my FIL has been working PT that they needed to stay home and get through some things on the "honey do" list.  My husband called and told them about the new baby and they were so hurt that he didn't tell them in person and launched into a tirad about how they never see DD.

    They generally mean well, but they have been totally irritating me lately.  Have fun doing your honey do chores...jerks.

  • The families and providers I deal with at work are on my LAST NERVE. Someone is about to get a can of whopa$$ opened on them by someone who has been bottling up pregnancy hormone-induced emotion all day Angry

    Me too!

    My FFFC is that since my FIL is calling our LO a he...I kind of hope its a girl.  I've had people guess but no one refers to the LO as one or the other like he does.  DH even told him that it may not be a boy and FIL still does it.  Confused
