FFFC
This discussion has been closed.
Re: FFFC
I have dyed my hair 5 or 6 times while pg. Only the no-ammonia/no-peroxide type.
I have 4 frozen embryos still at the IVF clinic. We don't intend to use them, but would rather just be happy with one child and let nature take its course if we get pg naturally, great. But I can't bring myself to "dispose" of the embryos. We had agreed to donate them to IF couples, but to me, they're like an insurance policy. God forbid something happens to LO, those embryos are my only "sure way" of having another baby. So we'll keep paying the quarterly freezer charge until I'm ready to adopt them out.
My DH keeps congratulating me on having no stretch marks and tells me how grateful he is for that (his exes both had bad marks). Rather than tell him its genetic, I am just soaking up the praise.
Today is my last day of work and I couldn't be much happier. There's only 9 more workdays until the end of the school year, but I have time saved up, stage 3 edema, and I just don't want to work now.
I am obsessed with being able to feel the bottom of my bellybutton and find myself absently touching it throughout the day. Its still not poking out, but it is completely flat.
Today is my last day of work...indefinitely
I am excited but have been up since 2 am timing contractions. I keep praying that this little girl will hold off at least one more week. Mostly, so she will be full term but also because I really want to clean my house and get some meals together before she gets here! Selfish, I know.
This may be more of an UO, sorry: I can't stand it when I see a family out to dinner and they are all on their cell phones, Ipads, PSP's, e-readers etc. Why not stay home and ignore each other at meal time?
This may sound a bit like the tiger mom, but when we are the grocery store and my 20 month old wants a free cookie from the bakery, I make him ask for it and use "please" and "thank you." Mind you he is totally capable of this, even though he doesn't get it perfect every time
. When I worked in a restaurant, I was always surprised that some kids didn't order for themselves (age appropriate of course) and if they did, they didn't use their manners.
My dh and I babysat our 2 1/2 year old nephew last night. Apparently in order to fall asleep he has to bang his head off his pillow and scream and cry for an extended period of time, according to sil, he's been doing this since 6 months, and used to bang his head on his crib! .
Is this normal?? Seeing that makes me so scared to become a parent. It was so hard to witness.
I really never babysat or have been around kids before and I don't want to be that ftm mom with zero experience that knows everything about parenting but I really feel that should be looked at by a medical professional. Please someone second me!
I was so frustrated with always doing everything to celebrate DH's mother for mother's day and her birthday (May 22) over the course of our marriage that this year I told him I would cover mother's day but he was on his own for her birthday.
Well, I have been ordered out of work by my dr. for low blood pressure and having a horrible time not being able to breathe and have also had a boatload of appointments because they are also monitoring my low platelets, so it was the last thing on my mind. He totally forgot her birthday....and to top it off, my SIL just had her baby a week ago Wednesday and they forgot her birthday too, so no one celebrated at all.
I guess the confession part of it is that I almost don't feel any guilt!
In the last month, each time i've thrown up I have broken a bunch of blood vessells around my eyes and it looks horrible. Last time this happened the thought crossed my mind that if its this bad after throwing up, omg how horrible is it going to be after labour and pushing?? DH thinks i'm crazy to worry because "nobody, especially the baby will care what you look like right after birth."
Also I am super exhausted the last couple of weeks. I think last night I saw at least every half hour on the clock, and now i just finished throwing up. What if i went into labour? where would I find the energy??
I'm starting to see why some women are "done" being pregnant early
Im staying with my mom and last night the neighbors were fighting. She called the cops on them. Me and my husband have had way worse screaming matches than that when we were first married.
I saw the Dictator and laughed just as hard as my husband.
I don't want to say anything for sure, but I'm an occupational therapist and I have worked with kids that sound like your nephew. I personally would recommend that he be seen by an OT or someone that can look at how his system is taking in the world/responding to it. It doesn't sound normal to me, but like I said I would have it checked out. And since he is only 2 1/2, there are lots of supports/options out there to help and he may do really really well with intervention. Good luck with everything! I'm a FTM too, I really want to make sure that I am open to helping my child the best way possible, and if that means getting a professional involved, then so be it!
I do the same thing, and I also love to blow my nose in the shower every morning.
*EDIT* Referring to peeing in the shower and not flushing at night, oops.
Thanks so much for your input, I really appreciate it!:)
Rissa-I do the exact same thing.
I posted this on the FB group, too, but it's my only FFFC right now:
This week has been really rough sleep-wise. Monday night was filled with insomnia/headache/heartburn, and then DH passed out in the bathroom randomly. Tuesday night I kept myself awake with my snoring. Wednesday night I was super sick. So I stayed home from work yesterday, which was fine, but didn't really send the hours in to our HR department. Today, my boss is out of the office and everyone is telling me to just go home and sleep-dh has the day off and I'm SO tired/sick. It's so tempting to just say '** it' and drive home for an early start to the weekend. I am NOT usually like this-yesterday was the first sick day I've ever used at this job, but I'm at the end of my rope and will be working until the baby comes (end of June). An afternoon off sounds so good. And I really don't want to report the hours, as no one seems to care anyhow....
Oh, I guess I can add-I eat way too much food out of cans right now. I KNOW there's BPA in them, but it's so easy to dump soup in a pot and heat it up. And then I get super angry at Campbell's for not taking the BPA out of the can and spend the entire meal angry at them.

I directly gave my supervisor a note from my doctor stating I would start my maternity leave this upcoming Wednesday. HR has acknowledged the note, however my department still has me on the schedule for all of next week.
I verbally told them when I would be leaving. I'm not going to remind them again. Hinwill ignore their phone calls on Wednesday if they don't figure it out.
Fine! I lied when the nurse asked me if I was wearing my seat belt when I hit the curb hard enough to cramp up- I wasnt. I dont know why I lied, but she asked me after I had seen that the baby was totally ok, so I lied. I suck. There! Thats flameful.
I've seen some bumpies post pictures of their LOs that resembles aliens. I very much hope my baby doesn't come out looking like a wrinkly old man. Uh oh here it comes!!!!!!
Oh and just because I'm feeling spicy ....
I think the regulars on the baby shower board have too much time on their hands. They're kind of crazy to boot with all their "rules".
Also, I think women who take everything as a "sign" that labor is coming need to chill out a bit. Yes, your baby is on the way. It's the inevitable that you will deliver.
This is me. Totally. Every twinge, every pain. Im ready for this to be over and dont get discouraged when its not, so I party on with my bad self.
Is there a limit on how many posts I can make?
I look down on people who collect on government assistance, with the exception of very few. I have to deal with so many people day in and day out who collect government assistance. I think most are wastes of space, and sometimes it really angers me that I have to contribute to their lifestyles.
My coworker is just starting up a photography business and she offered to do some maternity and newborn pics for us. Being free pictures i said yes.
The pictures suck. The only one I like is the one that doesn't show my face and only my bump. All the others my eyes are half closed so I look horrible! She says she loves them...and they are on her facebook business page. I'm so embarrassed, but I signed a release for them.
Now I'm wondering if the newborn pictures will be over exposed like the other newborn pictures on her site.
I agree. I'm tired of all the "Could this be labor?" posts.
ooo this and the mucus plug posts! I'm sorry but I'm loosing mine and it is an unmistakable thing...I did not need to ask anyone what was happening.
besides who on the internet is going to be able to tell you definitively yes or no?
Or maybe a tit groping pedophile.

Your kid doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell at being cute. I wouldn't have told you that, though, if you weren't such a cvntb@g.
judging by the siggy pic, your baby will probably come out looking more like a gorilla than an old man.
also- my computer REALLY wants me to email cvntb@g. lol
I look down on people who judge others for getting some help. Last time I checked, just because you deal with people who collect gov't assistance doesn't mean that you live with them, have seen what they've gone through, or know how or why they ended up on gov't assistance. For you to look down on them shows that you have very little class, compassion, empathy and your employer should find someone else to do your job ... someone that possesses these qualities because thats what you need to work with people who DO collect that kind of assistance. NOBODY likes to ask for help like that. NOBODY wants to admit that they can't do it all by themselves and they need a helping hand.
Are there people out there that abuse the system? Absolutely. But thankfully there are people like you out there to tell them how much they suck.
I sure as sh!t hope that you never have to go on gov't aid because I'd hate to have to help your @ss out.
LOL!!
