Friday Flame-Free Confessions

I have a bad one...

My doctor told me to cut down on salt because my blood pressure was a bit high the last time I saw him.  I paid no heed whatsoever and all I could stomach was cheese and carbs, so that's what I ate.  My blood pressure is higher now and I have to go see an internist.  I really mucked up.

Re: Friday Flame-Free Confessions

  • I have been spending way too much money on online shopping.

    In the last 3 days I have bought the udder cover and a sling and some maternity pants from ON, and now just spent my first born child on a domain and webhosting service that I can't even figure out all for the sake of my blog. I'm stupid.

  • I vented mine a little bit in my post below, but here goes. I am so not excited about this pregnancy anymore. I feel like S%#^! I dont want to be on IV's anymore, I dont want to feel sick all the time anymore. I am tired of it!!!! I try to think of the baby, but I cant. I dont want to think about babies or anything related to babies. I am terrified that I will go to my u/s today and something will be wrong. I just want my life back.

    Sounds like you're having a really rough go of it and you've been down this road before so nothing anyone says will likely make you feel any better.   I'm hoping things turn around for you.

  • I'm kinda on board with Bellablue right now, I feel like I just want ME back. I want to have the energy to play with my kids again and not feel so sick all the time. All I can think right now is "this too shall pass"

  • I am not taking any PNV.. I know I'm supposed to (at least folic acid) but i'm so not a pill taker and I never remember. 

    My only solace is that my BFF didn't take them and her baby girl is perfect.

  • I hate being pregnant.  I hated it last time and we tried for a long time.  I didn't have those happy go lucky feelings that a lot of women have.

    Since this beeb was a surprise, I hate it even more.  I wasn't able to prepare for the suckiness.

  • This isn't really a confession so much as a ramble, but I'm agonizing over whether I should make chili tonight. It sounds like a bad idea w/ the aversions and the nausea, but I've been thinking about chili for the past 2 days. My dad's chili. But it has onions in it - strike one - and beer - strike two. I know most of the alcohol will cook out of the beer, but I'm not sure I'll be able to stomach the taste. I really want to make it, but I'm skeptical about it being as good in reality as it is in my mind. lol

    I'm also hating it so far and wondering how people do it more than once.  I wish my H could have the next one, a la that movie Junior.

  • 1. I *ALWAYS* forget to take my prenatal vitamin -- i think I've taken maybe 5 pills since I found out I was PG over a month ago.

     2. I'm suddenly addicted to Fast Food.  I eat it atleast once a day it seems.

    3. I have not given up caffeine.

  • DH & I have a trip planned in late October for our anniversary.  We found a great place to stay complete with a hot tub.  I was so excited about a long weekend, drinking some great wine, relaxing in the hot tub, and spending time with DH.  Now, the wine and the hot tub are out and I'm super bummed.  If we could get our money refunded I'd cancel the trip.

     

  • 3. I have not given up caffeine.

    Good confesh!  I drink a 14oz DD coffee every day now that the pumpkin ones came out.  I really want a bigger one SO BADLY.  I've been reading the studies to see if I really buy into the caffeine being dangerous thing.  And what the amounts are.  Because right now, I'm only seeing studies prove that there's an increased risk for stillbirth if you drink 7+ cups a day!

  • I gave up caffeine but caved and had a regular Mountain Dew just because I was sick of being so tired and wanted some energy.

    Bummer is that it only worked for about an hour and I was back to being exhausted.

  • Mind is NBR. I hate the show Extreme Couponing, but I get all sucked in and end up watching the whole thing. Then when I see someone who stockpiles on junk food I judge them. A lot. Like who really needs 92 bags of croutons or 300 cans of soda??

    i wish i could be joking but my dad is the music teacher at a church so he owuld be mad. we had sex, all the time how bad i know but we dont want to wait and he said GREAT OH KAY! and I was really feeling the wets? down there- too embarsed to say- but he acted like man.

    Same.

    I don't want to do anything but sit at home, because going out or even over to friends' isn't fun when everyone else is drinking and you aren't.

    And I don't even have a taste for alcohol right now!

    It still sucks.

  • imageKaitQuinn:

    This is totally a thing!  And what sucks is that it doesn't go away once the baby comes because you know you won't be able to sleep off a hangover.

    Sadly, it just turned into NIGHTLY wine drinking for me!  It jsut happened earlier than it used to.

  • I miss drinking. A LOT. It's gotten so bad I'm sniffing my husband's wine or beer so I can at least figure out what ingredients are in them. Awful.

    I still can't believe I'm pregnant. Even after the u/s last week and all sorts of symptoms, I'm really in that 'I'm just fat' state of mind. I'm still waiting for it to sink in. I also guess because I had a couple of losses already (c/p and m/c), I'm refusing to let myself get too attached to this one, even though I know it'll be my sticky baby. So I'm messed up in the head sometimes.

    Oh, I always drink wine every night (when not pg, of course). Hey, it's actually healthier than saving it up and binging on the weekends! lol. Of course, I still drank more on the weekends than I should.

  • I have another one not baby or wine related.

    I have no interest in hearing people's memories of 9/11 if they weren't directly impacted.  And I think it's arrogant for people to talk about where they were when it happened and think other people will care.

    UNLESS, you were directly impacted.  Like you were there or had a loved one there or something. 

    So, I hate all these stories I'm hearing on the radio where people are saying "I was watching TV and I got so sad".

    Right there with you, however I will go a step forward and say that I don't really want to relive anyone's experience that day no matter how close to it they were.

     

    I am another who is sick of having no energy and feeling vaguely hungover every day. Even when I get a craving, I finally eat whatever it is and its never as good as I thought it would be. No food sounds good. I am just trying to remember how with my other pregnancies that this feeling lifted between 13 and 16 weeks.

     I was convinced I was the only person who felt this way! 

    I'm so glad other people feel this way.  I was in NYC that day and so was one of my best friends.  We don't want to relive it, rewatch it, read about it, talk about it, etc.  We did it once, and that was enough, thankyouverymuch.  Christ, I cry when I see pics from it...to this day.  DH and I were at a museum that had an exhibit on September 11 and we had to leave because I started sobbing.

  • I've never drank alcohol in my life. So nothing to miss there. Big Smile

     

    But I am a Mountain Dew addict and I still drink a can of it every day. Embarrassed

     

    Sometimes I have to remind myself that I'm pregnant. I have minimal symptoms, so I forget sometimes. I kinda envy the ladies that have symptoms to remind them everyday that they are pregnant. I can't wait until I can start telling people (at 12 weeks) so I can get all excited again!!

  • My cousin got to have the first grand child. She is younger than me (I'm the oldest), and was unmarried at the time and it really pissed me off. Then, she got married less than a month after me and we knew we'd both be TTC, me for #1 and her for #2. She doesn't know I'm pregnant and I really hope that either she's not pregnant yet, or that at the very least I got pregnant before her and will give birth before her.

  • My confession is I am actually craving a glass of red wine. Any other food I think of or try to eat, makes me grossed out although I have been lucky with keeping the food down. But ooh a nice glass of wine would do me well.

    My coworkers are getting on my nerves. I don't know if its because I am hormonal but I am getting mightily stabby towards them.

  • I have absolutely no desire to have sex. I've had sex 3 times in 14 weeks, my poor husband!! haha Last time we did I had a little red blood spot directly after and it scared the sh*t out of me regardless of the doctors and nurses I work with telling me it's completely normal. I want to avoid sex for as long as possible. Unfortunately it's our anniversary on the 17th so I will unfortunately probably have to put out! haha It also doesn't help that I feel like I am on a bad boat ride most of the day and throwing up at least once a day now >:
