Re: FFFC
I have a shower this weekend and I am freaking out that nothing has been purchased from my registry. There is so much we need for LO and I guess I was very wrong to assume that we would get most of it through gifts from our registry. I am frustrated and annoyed
(of course I apprecaite people getting ANY gift for LO, and I don't mean to sound like a spoiled brat... just venting)
AND I just ate an entire box of Dots all by myself

The only thing I see that's wrong with that is that it's mint chocolate chip and not chocolate peanut butter. That is all.

I get really bored when UO Thursday and FFFC just turn into be circle jerks. I don't think every UO or FFFC needs to be uber-controversial, but when they're all hearts, stars and butterflies, it's like... why bother? Don't we have that already the rest of the week?
My second FFFC is that I'm sort of embarrassed I just typed the word uber, but I'm not going to change it. It's Friday, I have a cold and I wore yoga pants to work. "Jeans Friday" can kiss my pregnant a**.
I did that a couple weeks ago

I am so sick and tired of people asking me how I feel and when I say awesome, they tell me one of two things. Either it will get worse as I get closer to the due date (been hearing this since week 20) or my delivery will be hell because I can't possibly have this easy of a pregnancy. News flash: Some of us actually enjoy being pregnant and don't have horrific symptoms. If you don't want to hear that I'm feeling awesome and am enjoying being pregnant, don't ask.
I've come to the conclusion that misery loves company and unless I'm as miserable as my pg friends, they have nothing but negative things to say.

I get annoyed by how irrationally upset some people seem to get over others commenting on their pregnancy. Especially because of the sheer volume of posts of people being excited to be big and for people to notice at the beginning of their pregnancy. Guess what, you are bigger than you were before. You are pregnant. People are going to notice and comment, it's human nature. Is it annoying, I'm sure. Is it worth making nasty comments and letting it ruin you day? No. Get used to it because once the baby is born you will hear a bajillion comments about the baby that will annoy you. And no, piercing your daughters ears, putting in her pink frilly dresses with a "Daddys Girl" bib will not stop people from asking you if it's a he because people in general are crazy.
Me likey.....Especially the bolded part....
Well said.....Especially the bolded part....
I have a hard time remembering other bumpies screen names and know many of you based on your signature pic alone.
I guess I'm just a visual learner.
1. I want to change my siggy, but TB won't let me without starting all over. I am scared that I am some how going to jinx myself by having to redo my preg ticker
2. I need some salt and pepper beacuase I am having to eat my words about not giving a crap about a nursery. Some one has offered to give us their old crib and changing table, and I find my self actually excited by this. I have made such a point of saying how little I care about setting up a nursery, but I think it had a lot to do with us living in our 1br apt. We may or may not or should be I guess..moving into a 2br in the next few weeks, and seeing that empty room made a *small* part of me want to nest the crap out of that space.
3. I plan on having DH massage my perinium, I'd much rather just get to lay there and not have to do the work. Besides, his digits are WAY bigger than mine, so that'll make it more effective...right?

***homer drooling sound***
Color me jealous! I think we are skipping it this year because fried food gives me such bad heartbun that it makes me throw up
DH thinks it would be cruel to drag me around all that delicous food and not feed me any of it. Have fun, the weather is supposed to be great!
Same here. This is why I never change mine.

I have a couple....
...I might scream if anybody asks me ever again 'what the baby thinks' - How the hell would I know? Probably nothing, he is a fetus. It's stupid, and I know people try to be nice, but I am really annoyed by that for some unknown reason.
...I have been really excited about the fact that I cannot cut my toenails by myself any longer. I never had a pedicure and I really wanted one. So now I will. Let's hope I actually like it.
...I still walk my dog every day. 4km in the morning and 4km in the evening. I am medium proud of that. I know I am slow, but since she goes off leash anyways, it doesn't matter. I always take my cell, I make sure to tag along with people if somebody else is in sight and I think it helps me. However, there are some people who started commenting in the parc about me 'not taking it easy enough for the baby' and that I should take better care of myself. That upsets me. Yes, I had a rough pregnancy, but currently I am on no kind of rest and my doc is pretty happy about the way things are going. He even said he never thought I would ever catch up growth-wise and he is thrilled about me walking so much and tells me it will help me during delivery and recovery to keep exercising those muscles. Why can't strangers just mind their own business and leave me be?
....my mom was here from Germany till yesterday and will come back after he's born. While she is pretty overbearing and I am sometimes annoyed, I know miss her and cried 20 minutes in the care after delivering her to the gate. I haven't told anybody.
I just read all of this and I think I am very hormotional today and that annoys me too. I hate being whiny. It's just not me.
I felt the same thing last week and then found out that I got just about everything off my registry at my shower. For some reason, most folks did very last minute shopping and a bunch of it didn't show up as "purchased" when I was viewing it. I am hoping that you are pleasantly surprised like I was. GL!
I just read the "BRU registry vent" thread below posted by Antania23 and a few women wrote that their BRU registries were not being updated when people purchased things even when the cashier scanned the barcode on the registry. Hopefully you are just in a similar situation. And I totally understand your vent, no flaming here!
And I at a whole box of Sour Dots in two days a couple weeks ago to celebrate not having GD.
Same here...the other thing was that a LOT of people got me gift cards instead because they just weren't sure what I needed. It will require a lot of follow up shopping, but I can purchase some of my larger items with them!
Well said. I am trying very hard to come up with something controversial just to spice things up around here. Everytime I try, I get thwarted by some other post that IMO is alot less interesting. Maybe I am just not that interesting??
I tried this yesterday, but here goes again. I think it's weird that women get waxed or shaved before their due date, so they look "presentable." For their doctors. I get a little bit of maintenance, but why women want to be bald or just have a landing strip during labor is beyond me. Flame away. Please.
Just thought of another one: I think that the people who flame those that get irritated b/c they got really cheap, ugly or useless crap that wasn't on their registry are annoying.
No, people do not have to be especially thankful for the cheap, ugly gift that their wealthy friend whom they have put a lot of money out for in the past gave them as a gift. No, it isn't a competition of how much people spend, but if you do have money and get me some cheap gift that isn't even anything I wanted and I have no real way of returning it, I am going to be irritated because it takes more effort to intentionally come up with something like that than to just look at what I might want and get it. And if you don't have money, I get it and am totally fine with receiving something very small and inexpensive off of my registry. It shows that even though you may not have the means, you thought enough to consider what I want and need for the baby and do what you can. And that gesture is very much appreciated.
And if people want to vent about these things, TB is a great place to do it. Better than actually telling said friend that you are disappointed to their face. (this doesn't even pertain to me b/c this is baby #2 and no showers or gifts here, but in general this is one of my pet peeves).
I agree this is weird. The last thing I think my doctor cares about is the state of my pubes when there is poop, amniotic flood and blood all around that area.
I think it's weird in general how much some women freak out about having grass on the playing field when it's time to batter-up. We all have a preference, but when you're pushing a 7, 8, 9 lb person into the world is that really going to be your top concern? It's hair. It naturally grows there. MAKE PEACE WITH THE TRUTH, LADIES.
LOL!

OCT 2011 Moms BlogOk, here goes.
I don't really understand why people (adult people, that is) make such a big flippin' deal about their birthday. I kind of felt that after I turned 21, the novelty was gone. I'm not saying it's in any way "wrong" to celebrate your adult birthdays, but I have a few friends of the facebook variety who make it into such a spectacle that I can't help but feel embarassed on their behalf.
For instance, this one girl in particular has been "hinting" all week about her birthday this, her birthday that, in desperate pleas for attention. Then, she tries to play it "cool" and act like it's no big deal, but while still reminding everyone that, HEY YOU GUYS! IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! But I'm so cool, I'm going to pretend it's not a big deal. BUT IT IS A BIG DEAL! That's why I'm reminding you everyday, starting a week in advance!
She's also the sort of girl who likes to pretend she was the first to ever find something cool, and when it gets popular, of course everyone is copying her. Basically, I guess I need to end the charade and just delete her from my list. Ugh. I am so done with this week in general.
This reminds me - back in 2009 I had a good friend who was pregnant. I commented when I noticed that she had started to waddle. I feel SO bad now that I ever said that. I'm sure she doesn't even remember it (she's super-laid-back), but I feel really guilty.
I never realized how annoying comments like that are until I got pregnant!

I hate that I cry at everything. My husband emailed me today about being a bad husband for not buying me an anniversary present yet, and I cried when I texted him back that he is a good husband. what the? luckily I was at home.
I agree that pubic hair doesnt need to be a priority right now. keep that area clean, but otherwise - who the heck cares? I know your doctor doesnt.
I was craving an egg roll for 2 weeks. Finaly today, I was in the food court and I bought one. It sucked. It did not live up to my expectation.
If another random weirdo gives me pregnancy advice I will slap them. I am in a tough position as it is. With my son passing away when I am asked "If this is my first?" It's hard for me to answer that question. I never, ever want to deny my son but I don't want to tell everyone the whole story of his death either. Since I just kind of avoid the question or change the subject people assume this is my first and give me all kinds of stupid advice. Like what to do when I go in labor or about the birthing process. Thanks I have been there already.
Then today I was with SS at an appointment. This girl assumed he was mine and that this baby is my second. She then went on and on about how he will be so jealous when the baby comes, or how he might regress and start asking for a paci, or how he might be very mean to me since he will be so jealous. Small talk is fine but I was trying to keep SS quiet as it was and she just would not stop. She was telling me all the things that I will go through with 2 children and literally didn't shut up until it was time for her appointment. I wanted to tell her "I have done it already he has a brother." I didn't want to then get asked where said brother was though.
I know people do not go around assuming everyone has had a loss. If someone is clearly not answering your questions though or looking uncomfortable by them take a hint and stop talking!
I hate when that happens! Then it's like the craving isn't resolved at ALL!

You're dumb. Lol.
NO, but I do disagree. I consider shaving to be part of my personal hygiene regiment. I don't feel clean when I'm covered in hair, and I think that I smell worse too. I personally will be having a last hoorah with my razor before b-day because I know I'm going to be too tired to do any pruning for a while after lo arrives, heck, who even knows if I'll have the time!
By getting nice a bare down there before, I know that I'll have the maximum amount of time to go without before things get too crazy. I can' t imagine all of the fluids that come out after labour getting caught up in some thick clump of hair and sitting next to my skin... that's gross. Lol.
