FFFC -- Enter at your own risk:)

natkay02 · August 2011

Amandaloren is out today so she asked me to post. Feel free to post your (flame free) confessions here, even though I don't have a pretty fire picture.

.... And go!

natkay02 · August 2011

I exclusively use the handicapped restroom stall now. As I've said before, I can justify almost anything by the fact that I'm 8 months pregnant. There's not a lot of perks to being the size of a sumo-wrestler, so I think we should take whatever we can get.

ETA: I also round UP to 8 months, even though I still have two weeks before I am officially 8 months. I dare anyone (IRL) to argue with me. Muhahah.

boxtonmom1014 · August 2011

1) For the last few weeks, I have been drinking a cup of coffee every morning, mainly because it helps guarantee a good poop for the day.

2) Part of me likes when my DH has a nightmare... Embarrassed It's nearly the only time he voluntarily cuddles with me at night in bed...

valzee · August 2011

We took a newborn care class last night, and I changed the first diaper of my entire life after managing to avoid it for 35 years. Granted it was on a doll and the diaper wasn't dirty, but I did it. And it didn't fall off! Not sure if this is a very controversial confession, but the other parents in the class looked at me like I had two heads when I said I'd never changed a diaper before.

Laceface7 · August 2011

I have 2:

1. I feel like a bad mom sometimes bc I don't really talk to LO very much. I think it's weird and awkward. I know I will talk to him all the time when he is an outside baby, but I am not a huge fan of it right now.....

2. I feel really slow most of the time now. So every morning when I'm walking through the parking lot on my way into work I look around and try to find an older lady and make sure I beat her inside to make myself feel better Embarrassed

1. Yeah, I don't really either. Unless he's jabbing or poking me painfully, and then I casually tell him to stop. I'm not worried about it. 2. BAHAHA... this is great:)

This is me too!

I will probably not sing lullabies to LO either. DH has never heard me sing and we've been together for 7 years. I really just don't enjoy singing that much and I have a quiet voice anyway.

lily87 · August 2011

I don't want my baby to come early at all, but now that the Drs think he is, if he HAS to come early, I hope that he comes by Aug 31st so I don't have to argue with the schools when he is 5.

cheezemonger · August 2011

Tinshee- mine is very similar.

I wake up earlier than I need to because the best part of my day is the super poop I have about 30 minutes after my cup of coffee. It's kind of sad, but the rest of my day pales in comparison to this amazing poop.

aimeewinn · August 2011

Here is mine. I am ready to deliver even though I still have 8 weeks or so left. I'm not whining but just anxious to be done and see this little guy. It feels like I've been pregnant forever and it's starting to really get to me. It almost tortuous to have to wait 9 whole months to meet this little miracle inside of me! Sometimes I secretly wish I would go early, around 36 weeks just so I can finally go back to normal. Somewhat selfish I know Embarrassed

Pina · August 2011

I finally did it, I peed in my own shower. I was grossed out by doing it, but I was covered in paint and couldn't touch anything to go on the toilet. It's exceptionally gross because I sit down in the shower every day to relax and I have only cleaned my shower once since being pregnant. (In my defense, I've only peed once, okay maybe twice in there) So now it's like I am sitting in old pee.

Me too! I need the bar to help me get up otherwise I get RLP and also, I am sick of bumping into things. Just sick of it.

My FFFC is that I have been saying how much I miss sexy time with DH but now that we have 'date night' tomorrow I am terrified because it's going to hurt and now I don't want to. We will do other stuff and he will be more than ok with it, but I feel stupid for making such a stink when really I want nothing up in my parts. I just want him to love me and hug me and stuff. That's all.

AmandaPaige6410 · August 2011

1) MIL can not get here fast enough today. DS in in an "I'm going to test Mommy about everyeffingthing" phase and I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown. I feel bad, but I am really looking forward to some alone time.

2) I usually don't use the reserved pregnancy parking spots, but last weekend it was a 110 heat index here and as I was driving to the grocery store I fully intended on using one of the spots. I pull in and there are none available, ok so I pull farther back and park out in bfe. As I am walking to the store, I am passing a spot and a man, about 35-40 is alone and loading his 2 bags into the car. I couldn't hold myself back. "so when are you expecticting you selfish sonofabiitch?" He started to apologize but I cut him off with, "no no. I won't keep you any longer. I know you must be miserable in this heat."

I 99% of the time would have said nothing, but it was hot as balls and I was crabby about being there in the first place.

I am perfectly fine with DD#2 coming any time after 37 weeks. In fact I'm hope she comes a little early so she won't be almost 6 when she starts Kindergarten. If she does come after Sept 1, I may end up trying to fight the school to get her in at almost 5 if she is ready. I'm a November baby and started K when I was 4 and was 100% ready for it. I think the cut off date is pretty arbitrary.

elynds · August 2011

Since I know I won't be pregnant for much longer, I have a mental list of people who I need to *** at before I deliver while I still have the pregnant/bitchy excuse. So far, I've made it through most of my list, but now I feel like I'm down to a time crunch.

Mrs.K23 · August 2011

1. I have no interest in sex right now and if I didn't have sex between now and postpartum recovery I really wouldn't care. But I am going to give DH sex this weekend to tide him over because I feel guilty. I will even fake an O so he has something to get him through the next few months. I am not looking forward to the pain, but I feel it is my wifely duty to at least give him a little something so he is not operating out of the spank bank exclusively. Stick out tongue

2. I know it is a male, ridiculous term that my guy friends all use, "spank bank" and as a soon to be mother I should be offended, but I think it is hilarious and love that it exists.

I have already started with the cut off nonsense for J, as I want him to go to the Universal Pre-K next fall. I went to put his name on the list, and they said you have to be 3 by Sept.1st, 2012, and he won't be 3 until the 28th. The lady told me there is no way he would be ready, and I strongly disagree. He's not even 2 yet and he can count to 10 and sing the alphabet with a few omissions. He's ready for schooling of some kind now, but I can't afford it. Once he's potty trained I will go fight with them some more....

kleu9 · August 2011

1. Since my showers are over, I stalk other people's registries that are getting married or having babies. I like to see what other people want and what they are getting.

2. My finger actually hurts from clicking the refresh button so much from all the ridiculous back and forth banter on here lately.

IrishGal002 · August 2011

DH is turning 30 next week - and wants to go out and party it up this weekend with his buddies since he "Is going to be on call until the baby comes & really deserves one last hurrah"

I lost my mind on him last night - and told him to take a turn being pregnant so I could go out and get s-faced with my girls since really I am the one who deserves it

Hahaha I am almost never rude to a complete stranger, but something snapped. When I got home and told DH he said he was proud of me. He takes shiit from nobody and was glad that he's finally "rubbing off" on me. I felt like a complete biotch at first, but then decided he deserved it, and will probably never pull that crap again!

PurplePanda83 · August 2011

I'm tired of people expecting me to be miserable. More so I feel like they WANT me to be miserable. "Are you ready to be done?" "Are you feeling Fat?" "Are you really uncomfortable?" all with these smiles like they just want me to be like "Yes, this is horrible!" I have actually started to downplay everything because bottom line, I'm happy to be pregnant and it's not like every other pregnant woman hasn't felt this way before! Yes, I'm exhausted, I'm uncomfortable, I waddle, my back hurts, I'm hungry, and I have a lot of job stress right now that isn't helping. But I tell them "Oh, just a little exhaustion" and play it all off because I just want them to feel jealous or something that I'm not some big whiney miserable mess.

@NatKay - I totally round up to 8 months too. It is just easier.

This is exactly my plan for this weekend. Poor DH, it has been months and months and with the baby coming in just a few weeks, I feel I need to do something to show him some love. He's had to deal with so much from me lately and he deserves it. I've been an emotional wreck!

An annoying lady in my office brings in bottled water from home that she fills using one of those osmosis things that charges the water too. She goes on and on about how gross the water fountain water is and even asked me if I am sure it is safe to drink while pregnant. IT'S FILTERED, LADY! So yesterday I snuck into the fridge, grabbed one of her fancy refilled waters, dumped it out, and filled it with water fountain water lol. How evil is that?! I'm sure her fancy tastebuds won't even notice.

LadyBugLove7 · August 2011

1) I'm really looking forward to the entire labor and delivery process! I'm quite excited about it actually.

2) I don't want her to come early (even if everyone who is not a dr. thinks she will) because I want her to make her appearance when she's good and ready (unless it turns into 42 weeks)

3) I might be 35 weeks pregnant with swelling, rib pain, etc. BUT I've really got nothing to complain about. This is great!

BarefootAndSinging · August 2011

Ok, my FFC, and this is not to offend or judge.... I do not believe in colic as it's generally used - aka sustained periods of regular crying in an otherwise healthy baby. If the term is referring to an actual issue of some kind of gastrointestinal symptom/pain, then I can understand it a little more. But still to just diagnose a baby as colicky, settle with the fact that it will eventually end, and move on with no solution, makes my heart break. I feel like sometimes if parents or drs can't figure out what is making Baby cry, they just give up and say the baby is colicky. (This was happening with us with DS2 for a little while, but I was never comfortable just settling with the diagnosis of this general, catch-all term.) I very firmly, 100% believe that baby's do not cry for hours on end for no "real" reason. If a baby is crying that much, there is a reason. And a solution. Obviously they cannot tell you why they are upset or what's wrong or what hurts, so they cry. There is a reason. You just have to find it. Just my opinion.

You are right I am sure he will definately think twice for robbing an innocent pregnant lady of a parking spot in sweltering heat again!

This is too fantastic for words!

My confession is that DH is going out of town next week for work and I will be 35 weeks. Not far enough along to ask him not to go but far enough along that I am being a whiny biotch about it.

Azrayla · August 2011

Nothing good this week..

I want baby early. I am pretty sure Ill have a meltdown if I make it to 38..

A selfish part of me alalso wants him to be early because Im happy with the weight Ive gained and Im afraid now Ill gain way too much by going to 39 weeks.. Im putting on a lb a week and in three weeks thats only 3lbs more I can deal.. I dont want to gain 6 more.

hahahaha, you evil little pregnant woman, props to you!

And going along with AmandaPaige, I totally have a sense of entitlement going on about those spots. I go as far as to check people out and make remarks under my breath if they are clearly NOT pregnant (like they are a man)..... we earned those spots!

Me too! A co-worker that I don't particularly like asked me yesterday if I was uncomfortable yet. I told her no and left it at that. I feel kinda b!tchy for being short with people, but I don't really think its any of their business how I feel b/c they don't truly care.

MaryHCagle · August 2011

1) I am always, inadvertantly late to the game on the UO/FFFC posts, which bothers me bc I comment so late that I rarely get comments back.

2) I still LOVE sexytime. I LOVE it so much, that I may have assumed the male role in my relationship in that I do not want sensual, soft, sweet blah blah blah. I want a good ol' fashioned, well you know the rest. My husband is scared to participate and therefore avoids these occurences with me. Who is the pregnant wife again? Now give me what I want.

3) On Wednesday this week, I discovered stretch marks on my rear. Yes, they "reared" their ugly face. That's the only place I have them. Apparently H saw them 2 weeks ago during beach vacation, and did not say a word to me about it. I didn't notice them bc they are strictly under the panties and bikini bottoms. Oh well, this new round tush (which I also love) comes with a price.

I always associated colic with a gas issue.. My cousins ffirst child would cry all day every day.. shed only stop in her bouncer if wed bounce her.. I was main baby sitter and totally taken advatage of (we were roommates at the timeme).. shed go to work 9am and come.home like 10pm (I worked overnights) and spend maybee 15-20 minutes with her screaming child before she had enough and llet her cio in the room.. she never took her to the dr to find out if something was wrong.. it was awful but she didnt care since she was hardly home..

ETA: also DD never had colic but she had a mmoth long period where shed cry from 6pm-midnight for no reason aat all... the "witching hour" I think its called.. I was told thats nnormal though
