I'm mad I'm already up a pound. I workout 5 days a week and am eating the exact same. I know cause I keep a food journal. I was anorexic/bulimic College and I know that doesn't help.
I am really annoyed because my co-worker keeps taking all these days off every week to go to these weddings. Resulting in me having to work an obnoxious amount of hours, which is literally the last thing I want to do right now.
Today is one of those days. All I want to do is lay on the floor in a heap. Knowing how long my day is going to be & that I am going to be running around non stop all day sorta makes me wanna cry a little.

I confess I'm going on bedrest for a week (dr's orders) and am not feeling the least bit guilty about how it affects my co-workers. I've been throwing up non-stop for 3 weeks straight, working through it. I need some me and baby time.

A girl from work is getting married tomorrow and I am really NOT in the mood to go. I have m/s and a massive cold, AND I have to work in the morning. Yuck!
I would kill for a carrot cake cupcake with loads and loads of cream cheese frosting. LOADS. I've been resisting the craving so far, but it's getting really, really, really hard.
Oh, and I haven't done any work today at all. I've talked with co-workers and bumped. At least it's Friday.
I asked DH if we could go to the Jay-Z and Kanye concert in Kansas City in November...that's right, I'd be about 5 months along. For a geeky white girl, I love my rap. (He shot me down.)
I'm going crazy with maternity clothes, and wearing some of them!!!! I bought 2 pairs of Gap 1969 maternity jeans, and I totally wore one pair with my BeBand because I can't button my jeans anymore... they were sooooo comfortable. Last night I ordered a bunch of clearance stuff from Gap and will probably buy more online today. Since it's hard to buy clothes for the baby because I don't know the sex and unisex stuff is limited, instead I'm buying for me
Me (33). DH (37). DD (2.2012). MCs x4. After 4 years & 7 months, due 4.2018!
Everytime people leave or get promoted at work and there's movement in and out of the various offices in my office building, someone comes in to paint the offices for the new person moving in. Usually it's not a big deal, quick in and out, not very disruptive. This week, the painter arrived Tuesday afternoon and is still here this morning, painting the office next to mine, as well as various other offices in the building, and is also doing touch up painting in the hallway. Up until today, the fumes haven't been too bad in my office, and when I walk down the hall, I would just hold my breath. No one at work knows I'm pregnant yet, so I don't want to make a big fuss of it. I think the door to the office next to me was closed afternoon and shut all night. Someone opened it this morning, and all of the fumes poured out and came directly into my office. I can't take it anymore! We have an open door policy, but I have to shut my door today. I have a post-it- note on my door to "Come on in" so I figure that will be good enough, and if anyone asks, I'll just say that after 3 days of fumes, my head is killing me or that I'm high as a kite.
The real annoying part of it is that when I moved into my office, they only offered to paint an accent wall and not touch up the scuffed and holey other walls. Not fair at all!

I don't know if this is a "confession" but since it is flame-free......I HATE when people POAS weeks into their pregnancy. If you haven't had cramping or bleeding, even if something is wrong you still have hcg in your system that makes the test positive....it doesn't really tell you everything is "okay" *phew, I needed to get that out. I don't kknow why it bothers me so much!
As for my own confession, I have eaten about half a bag of caramel chocolate candies this MORNING....no more candy allowed in my house! Haha!

I just bought 5 cute lil cloth diapers online after I promised DH I wouldn't buy anything until we were out of the 1st trimester! But they were a great deal at $8 a piece for an AIO, so that is my defense and I'm sticking to it!!!!

1. I broke down and let my son have some orange juice. I have a (well had) strict no juice policy. But I figured the oj didn't have all that added sugar or hfcs.
2. I let my son watch a movie every day this week. I know, not really a big deal, but it's much more tv than we like him to watch. Thank gawd we have a million things to do next week and daycare starts back up in a week.
3. I had 2 dr. p's yesterday and a little soft serve. I couldn't help myself.

I had a few non-alcoholic St.Pauli beers this week because I missed the taste of beer. They weren't great but they did the trick. It is really embarassing that I can't stomach food but I still want beer. Oy.

I'm right there with you. I'm probably going to pick some up this weekend.
I made the mistake of going to the grocery store alone, and hungry. I came back with two boxes of toaster strudel and some shells and cheese. We typically eat paleo, and though I've been a little lax due to morning sickness (thank goodness for saltines!), I haven't just jumped off the wagon... but MAN, that's all I want to eat!
I'm irrationally mad at my friends (because we didn't even tell them I'm pg yet) for planning all these drinking related outings now that I'm pregnant. I mean, we did nothing all summer and now they want to visit breweries and go tailgating at baseball games and go to a tequila bar. Really? GAH!
I've also done nothing at work today except browse the internet and watch TV because my m/s won't pass and I can't concentrate.

I'm thinking about taking a mini Bump break. Any mention of food, no matter how benign or mild or well-intended or two dimensional, is so aversive to me. I obviously don't open the WFD threads, etc., but there are land mines everywhere, I tell you!
I'm just tired. I'm tired of feeling like crap. I'm tired of being constipated. I'm tired of just wanting to sleep. I'm tired of people asking me how I feel. I'm tired of hubby having to do everything. I'm tired of making the mental list of all the stuff we have to do before baby comes. I'm tired of eating bread. I'm tired of crying every day for no reason (no joke - I cried the other day when my dog tore the leg off her favorite toy).
And I'm tired of this crazy girl on Facebook who posts pictures of herself in the mirror every day. And now she's pregnant and is posting pictures of her "baby bump." She's not far along enough yet to show that much - I think she has a food baby.

I know they mean well, but I am also really sick of people asking me how I'm feeling. Like 5 people have already asked me today....and it was the same 5 people that asked me yesterday. Nice to know they care and all, but if I wasn't feeling super awesome yesterday when they asked or at any point 4 weeks prior to now, chances are nothing has changed today.
I'm 9 weeks pregnant and it hasn't hit me yet. It still hasn't sunk in that I'm going to have another baby, so far I just feel like I've been sort of under the weather for the past 5 weeks.
Not really flame worthy but a confession none the less:
I always post a reply when I see that someone has posted something and 40 people looked at it and didn't reply. I don't want anyone to feel bad that no one responded to them. Silly, but it makes me sad when someone has no replies. Maybe that is the hormones talking...
Oh, and I bought these awesome cupcakes for a friend who is visiting this weekend and ate one on the way home from the bakery and another one last night. I swear, they do not come in a dozen, they come in boxes of 10!

This is kind of like the opposite of Squishy's. Almost everything food-related that anyone posts on here becomes a craving for me. I'm not usually so susceptible to suggestion, so I guess it's just the pregnancy causing it, but I want to eat everything that is ever mentioned on this board. If someone says "tacos" that's all I want to eat for dinner. Since Salt posted about craving Bernie-Os, I've had 3 cans.
Shopping and meal planning in this state is like planning for a hyperactive 3 year old....

I don't want to hang out with SIL this weekend. At. All.
This. MIL and SIL are visiting, but SIL is only coming because she lives at home and thus has to be invited everywhere.
She's an adult, right? Why can't she just stay home??
Regarding food, I'm on my way to Wegman's in like 5 seconds to hunt down some Bernie O's. And egg salad. And hopefully a soft pretzel. LOL!
She is an adult, but you wouldn't know it because she's never (and I mean never, not even in high school) had a job. And she's over 30. Believe me, H and I have this discussion before, but nothing is going to change. She does have some health problems, but my other SIL has severe anxiety and is on social security because she can't have a job and she still lives on her own. It boggles my mind.
I've got a lot of confessions, but this week has been rough! DH is in Tennessee for the week for training leaving me home alone with our two dogs. He's the cook in our little family so all I've had at home is some Ramen Noodles and Tortilla chips (mainly cause I can't keep anything down). I am very thankful that I work at a hospital and they have a semi-decent cafeteria!
Also, I am seriously tired of my co-workers asking me about how I feel all the time! It's so annoying! I know it's bad but I made sure that I was delivering my baby at another hospital in the area instead of the one I work at, mainly because I don't want my co-workers coming up and visiting me and baby!
And last but not least! Damn this 24/7 m/s!!!! I HATE feeling nauseous and throwing up all the time! This pregnancy is so much worse than my first one!
I would kill for a carrot cake cupcake with loads and loads of cream cheese frosting. LOADS. I've been resisting the craving so far, but it's getting really, really, really hard.
Oh, and I haven't done any work today at all. I've talked with co-workers and bumped. At least it's Friday.
Same. I have been craving carrot cake for weeks.
And last night I had an Oreo Blizzard. I had to stop myself from picking up a box of Dilly Bars and a huge order of fries to save for later as fast food french fries seem to be what I'm craving the most these days.
And like a PP said, any time anyone posts anything food-related on here, all of a sudden it becomes my newest craving. Now I'm craving red wine (which I didn't even know was made in a non-alcoholic version!).
