FFFC!

Mrschica · June 2012

I don't agree with co sleeping, unless it's for a few days and your baby is sick or something... I respect those who choose to do it, but I feel like its just too unsafe and sometimes parents do it for themselves more than for the baby...

tatercater · June 2012

I get super annoyed when people want to tell me how I feel or what I'm going to want to do. I said to my MIL recently that I really don't care about having a shower and that I'd be just fine going out and buying everything we need ourselves. She said, "No, you don't want to do that." Yeah, I kind of do...

Or my FFFC from a few weeks ago when my co-worker told me I'm not going to want to cloth diaper. YES. I. AM. Don't tell me what I want to do!!

i totally judge my friend who keeps her 3 1/2 year old and 2 year old up until 10pm (and wakes them up at 7), just so they can see Daddy when he comes home from work, before going to bed. If it was that important to Daddy, he'd come home earlier, or go to work later in the morning, or schedule face time before the kids went to bed. I understand some offices are more demanding than others, but really? I just feel like as a parent sometimes you have to make sacrifices too.... It's not always about what's best for you! I judge her even more because she knows the boys need more sleep, but she doesn't want to argue with her husband over it.

It's 8 AM and I'm about to have a piece of cake. Not gunna lie, I'll probably have another at some other point in the day as well....

AngelSong76 · June 2012

I have spent the last two hours at work looking up articles about the Ravelry/US Olympic Committee controversy so I can write an angry blog post about it.

I haven't been this angry about anything in awhile, and while I feel badly about not being this angry about real problems rather than first world problems, I'm still angry. Can I blame the hormones?

mrsmklynch · June 2012

I didn't understand the point of that post yesterday where someone was complaining about people telling them how hot they're going to be this summer. Seriously? You're so annoyed and offended because people are pointing out the obvious that you need help coming up with witty comebacks? Come on. When people say something like that to me, I usually respond with "I know! This was definitely not well planned. I'm freaking melting!" Complaining about the heat doesn't mean you love your baby less or wish you weren't pregnant. It's just the truth. It's freaking hot and you're going to be kind of miserable. No one is being rude or offensive by pointing that out. Get over it.

I had to google this to find out what it was. What a ridiculous thing for the USOC to waste their time on!

H and I have not been on the same wavelength the past few weeks. No big blow ups or even raised voices. Just... nothing. My BFF asked me to stay over tonight to help her with her one month old (squee!) while her H is attending an out-of-state wedding. My H is also going to a wedding (that I opted out of) tonight. Kind of worked out well and part of me is hoping that a night away from each other will help open up the communication lines again when I get home tomorrow. I miss my H. Sad

Yeah, I definitely had ice cream for dinner 2 nights in a row this week. I have been doing really well with my low carb/high protein "diet" and it all went to sh!t this week. Oh well...there's always next week.

I definitely agree with both of those!

I hate it when people tell me how much worse it's going to get, as though I don't know that already. Example: I went to the Body Shop to get some cream because my belly was itchy. The woman was incredibly helpful, but not until after she made the comment, "You think it's bad now, it's going to get much worse!" I kind of assume it's going to get worse since I'm going to be getting bigger. What does that mean, anyway, am I not itchy enough now to warrant buying cream?

clussyK · June 2012

DD was having one of those mornings where she wouldn't eat anything I offered her for breakfast (tried the usuals of blueberries, string cheese, cottage cheese, cheerios, toast, strawberries). It was exhausting. By the time I dropped her off at my SIL's for the day, I was frustrated and hungry so I stopped by Dunkin Donuts for 6 donuts. After 5 I realized I'd had enough. I should note, I've mostly eaten well this pregnancy and haven't gained a ton of weight but today was my breaking point.

... 5 donuts. ((head desk))

No, it means "Buy more cream, I work on commission!" Stick out tongue

At my appointment this morning, I was up 11 lbs in 4 weeks. For a whopping total of 35 lbs net gained (27 lbs if you go by pre-pregnancy weight.) And I really just don't care.

Last night my family had a dominos pizza night (this usually never happens) and well I think I ate a whole pie by myself. The bad part was the heart burn around 3 am but I survived now off to Brooklyn Bagels.

I've had quite a few people tell me lately how crazy I am to want to cloth diaper. And a few moms have told me that breastfeeding is too hard and I won't be able to keep up with it! Thanks for reigning on my parade. It just makes me more determined and thankfully I have a very enthuisiastic supporter in my husband and both sets of parents Smile

Husband and I haven't had sex since the positive test. He hasn't even tried. I've brought it up, and he insists that he's not weirded out by it, but we get in bed aaaaaand...nothing. I've tried to start things, and I've gone the BJ route, but nothin'. I have, both literally and figuratively, taken matters into *ahem* my own hands.

Basically, the US Olympic Committee sent a cease and desist letter to Ravelry (a social networking site for fiber artists) and told us that we could no longer use the term "Ravelympics" for an event we do every two years during the olympics. This is seriously just an online event where we challenge ourselves to work on a project that stretches and enhances our skills, while watching the various olympic events. Their stance was that using that term violates their copyright, which is fine and good, but their letter contained some pretty insulting statements about knitters/crocheters in general denigrating the olympics by using this term, which is what got everyone there so upset.

Here's my blog post: https://anitahavelsblog.blogspot.com/2012/06/ravelympics-and-olympics-can-you-tell.html It explains it better, but is kind of long. The story made the New York Times and several other media outlets yesterday, and the Olympic Committee's facebook page has been flooded with angry people who have pointy sticks.

I will be honest gained 17 pounds and the only reason I am worried is because I was about 15 over weight when I became pregnant. When I saw Rachelily's post about not caring I was like OMG see I need to just not give a sh*t too!! The one's that complain about gaining 4lbs, 10lbs I want to strangle.

That's frustrating. You and my H are probably feeling the same way. I think our sex life is toast. The last time we tried, I started crying. Embarrassed It hurt and I felt like a elephant seal.

Winnychan · June 2012

My husband is very anti-gifts and doesn't want me to register. Our "baby shower" is a barbeque co-ed sort of event with gifts discouraged. I am trying to uphold his wishes because I know we are doing fine enough financially to buy our own things, and I know how he feels about handouts, and blah blah blah...

A part of me feels a little bit let down that I don't get to have this experience. I think building a registry sounds fun. And I hate the look of confusion and disappointment in the eyes of friends and co-workers when I tell them I don't have a registry and that we're actually discouraging gifts.

But at the same time, we already talked about it and decided, and so it's not worth trying to change things now. I'm just having a bit of a mope about it today, for no reason at all.

Hopefully it passes.

I took an Ambien last night (I take one occasionally) and then shopped online for maternity clothes. Um, I have no clue what I bought. But I know I spent about $100. Looking forward to the UPS delivery - it'll be like opening Christmas presents!

I didn't really care about my weight gain with LO and I don't really care this time around either. With LO I gained 50ish lbs. With this one so far I have gained 17lbs. My OB has never had a weight conversation with me and seems to not care so I don't care either.

I was not into the gender reveal party DH wanted to do but went along with it b/c he really wanted to have one. Now I am getting way to excited and I keep finding things on Pinterest that I think I should do for the party.

I will be honest gained 17 pounds and the only reason I am worried is because I was about 15 over weight when I became pregnant. When I saw Rachelily's post about not caring I was like OMG see I need to just not give a sh*t too!! The one's that complain about gaining 4lbs, 10lbs I want to strangle.

Honestly, I just don't care because I am healthy and happy in this pregnancy other than the weight. I was MISERABLE when I was pregnant with DS, but this one is a whole lot easier. I'm confused as to how I've gained THIS much weight (it's not like I'm sitting around stuffing my face all day), but in the end it doesn't matter. You don't get a prize for keeping your weight down during pregnancy. I started off at 182 when I got pregnant with DS, and ended at 232. Then I dropped 82 lbs with a lot of hard work and determination. I know I will do it again. So starting off this pregnancy at 157, I was already much better off than I was the first time around. As long as I'm not doing anything "wrong" with what I'm eating, there's no reason to care. So my body isn't responding to being pregnant as I'd like it to. It's NBD. Because I know how to get it back post-baby. I'm VERY confident in that because I have a great support system.

Not that I am a fashionista, but I judge women who go out in their pjs and slippers. Especially the ones that don't put a bra on. You really couldn't put some clothes on?

I saw a large woman in her PJs with no bra (and a camisole type top) last week at the grocery store (it was around noon mind you). She had a lot of sag-age going on. Like the triangles on her top were barely holding the nips in. They were all folded under the sag and then coming back up barely covering anything. Not to mention her PJs were basically see-through anyway. There are just some things you just can't un-see!

We also saw a lady at McD once that was PG and wearing a one-piece jumpsuit thing and one of her nips was totally out. That was definitely in the same "things you can't un-see catagory"!

Ahh!!! Both of those are DISGUSTING!!!!!!!
