Re: FFFC

  • I love food in powdered form. Like, the cheese from Mac & Cheese, the powder from cocoa, etc. Maybe it stems from my days as a competitive swimmer when they would juice us up on Jello mix before a race. Pretty weird.

  • I'm a personal trainer and eat paleo most of the time-my ideal lunch would be a Five Guys burger (with bun!) and Wendy's french fries with cake and ice cream for dessert. I'm so ashamed.
  • If DH or I randomly have a day off (which is rare, but for instance today there is no school so DH is off) we send Charlie to day care most of the time anyway. A) We paid for it already B) He LOVES school and C) C'mon...Mommy and Daddy need a day off too!

    LoL I've done this. When I was working at a school and we'd have our spring or winter break, I'd take my daughter to daycare the whole week, because heck, I was paying for it anyway, and I wanted time to do NOTHING by myself :)

    I would totally do this too! Babysitter is bought and paid for- I'm running errands etc. while I can! :)

    Here, here. The August siggy challenge gets me queasy, too. 

  • Ok here's my FFFC: I like obituaries. I work at our local newspaper and I put together the community page and some of our 'special' weekly pages. Obituaries are paid space, and they take up room on my local page. So, the more obits I get, the less actual work I have to do finding copy to put on my page. Of course I'm sad because it means people died (especially recently, we've had a slew of very bad car accidents the past few weeks), but it sure does make my job easier. This also makes me sound very lazy. Which I will not deny.

  • I really really really want to run during this pregnancy, but I just can't bring myself to because I ran with BFP#2 which resulted in a m/c.I know it's safe. I know something didn't develop right with the LO, but I just can't separate the two. Hopefully I can hop on the treadmill this fall.

  • My ILs are arriving in the morning for a "surprise visit." They haven't told us, but it's been confirmed by multiple family members and we know they're on their way now. M/S be damned, you can bet money that this house will be in tip top shape, great meal plan for the weekend, etc. And I plan on acting totally surprised when they show up and letting MIL think that this is how our house/life looks all the time!

    Do they show up unannounced often?  That would drive me crazy.  We had to put my IL's on a call first policy

    No, thankfully! We live in Wisconsin and they live in Florida, so this is actually only the second time they've been here since DD was born. Trust me, if they were closer, we would absolutely have a policy!

    Surprise

    I would probably be gone when they got there and for the rest of the day. "oh you were coming to visit unannounced? SOOOOO sorry, we have plans ALL weekend!"

    I would soooo do this! Unfortunately, they're coming for DH's first game this weekend. He's a college football coach and the schedule/tickets are public info, so sadly, we can't exactly hide! Sad However, DH & I have already decided that we're sticking to our pregame/post-game plans and too bad for them.

     ^This exactly.

    I've also been slacking on my running because I'm nervous about it.  Rationally, I know the baby will be fine, but you can probably guess the huge role emotions are playing in my decisions these days. 

    My confession is that we will probably start working on our future nursery this weekend.  I know someone's UO yesterday was that it is too early, but MH is a slacker, and if I don't help him it won't get done.  I figure I'm way more able to help him now than farther down the line.  The room is hideously ugly right now (we just moved into the house in June and have a lot of renovating to do), so new paint and new flooring are needed anyways.  We won't be buying any furniture, clothing or accessories till later in the pregnancy.

    It's just where I do. At home I'm responsible for 20 other nails, so I at least get 5 minutes to myself to attend to them at work.

  • I love MH dearly, and we have been through so much these past 2 years, BUT- he's fat and I can't take it. I don't see him everyday, more like every other weekend, so everytime I see him it looks like he's getting FATTER! It is the hugest turn off in the world, which is saying a lot because I am horny all the time! Last time I was pregnant it made me nauseous when his belly touched my pregnant one. Now I am almost repulsed to just look at him. I know I am making him sound grotesquely obese, and hes not- just looks like the baby is due any day, and the baby keeps getting bigger. I want to make a wager with him that as much as I gain during this pregnancy he has to lose. But I know it will hurt his feelings so I haven't said anything yet.

  • I'm having a really hard time adjusting to weight gain and pregnancy. I've always worked hard to stay somewhat slim that my new belly is throwing me off.

    And if one more person mentions 'there goes your body', 'are you concerned about losing the baby weight' because I'm pregnant with triplets, I'm going to scream. 

  • H and I have always talked about our baby names. Since we started TTC it's been in overdrive. Now that I'm pregnant however, it's impossible to talk to him about it. Why does he have to have such bad taste? The names I choose are adorable and he can't get on board. I might be a brat about it and keep putting them out there until I get closer to what I want. I dont' want to compromise. I love the names I picked.

    aw that stinks! We already knew that if it's a boy it will be the third (FI is a Jr.), he made that clear from the very start. I threw out a girl's name I've been mulling over since DD was born and he ok'd it right off the bat :) I might change my mind, but it's good to know he's a little more easy going about it than I am

  • I haven't vacuumed or swept or mopped in probably 2 weeks. My house is a disgusting mess (well it is most of the time anyway). I finally got up the energy to do the dishes I've left sitting all week and made DS's Big Brother shirt. I just need another energy boost to pick up the toys and vacuum. And because I will be spending all my remaining energy cleaning up (here's the real confession) I'll probably take DS out for lunch because I'm too lazy to make lunch and also don't want to have more to clean up.

    Unfortunately, it might hurt his feelings, but if he is continuing to gain, at what point is he going to have a wake up call?

    I'm not sure how you communicate in your marriage, but with DH and I, it is out of respect for each other that we try to stay fit. He needs to have respect for himself, you and your future and make his health a priority. And that unfortunately will involve some awkward conversations and potentially hurt feelings. ie refrain from saying you're repulsed by him. ;)

    Does he like sports? Does he have a history of being active? What is his work situation that he's gone so much? What are his eating habits like? It may be the last thing you want to do, but you will need to support changes.

    I agree with PP...you definitely need to say something, just how is the question. Does he eat out a lot? It sounds like he's not home a lot since you rarely see each other? Is it because he works night shift or something? Can you start making him healthier meals to bring to work? Suggest going out for walks together or bike rides. It is a touchy subject...by try to address it like you want him to be healthy for himself and for your future children.
