C'mon ladies, I know there are still a lot of people out there on this board, let's here those confessions! Make 'em good 
This discussion has been closed.
Re: ~*FFFC*~
I get really butthurt when I realize that I've been de-friended on Facebook. Like, I can always tell, and I take it personally...who wouldn't?
Also, I've had a major case of the butthurts lately, because every time I mention that I'm doing a GTG with another Bumpie, everyone is all, "I'm SO jealous!" and it makes me realize that everyone is jealous that I get to meet a particular Bumpie, but no one is jealous that that Bumpie gets to meet ME. Haha, I swear, I'm awesome guys, I really am!
I clearly have a a lot of butthurt this week
Oh yeah, and since I switched from Chrome to Firefox, I can now use the emoticons...and I am seriously abusing them. Haha, irony.
So I am totally not saying this just becasue you want to hear it, but in all honesty, you are awesome. I truly enjoy your posts, you make me laugh and you add a lot to this board. Not to mention how adorable your LO is, so trust me, you are loved here!!! I have not been on as much lately because it is super busy at work (stupid work taking me away from bumping). I can get butthurt too, like I really don't think I am missed at all on the other boards, ::shrugs and waves a friendly hello to the lurkers::. We all get butthurt sometimes, ( that would be a great title to a song) lol.
Aw shucks Musiclover, you sure are awesome too! You are such a warm, sunshiney (I don't care if that's not a real word) presence on this board, and we all love you!
My other FFFC is I am totally digging all of this love. I was feeling mopey, but I feel better now
I was talking to somebody at work yesterday who said she pays $150/wk for her baby to go to daycare. She said it was income adjusted. So obviously the reason it is so cheap is because she must be getting paid crap. However I still got annoyed which is so irrational.
I'm annoyed because we aren't "poor enough" to get discounted daycare. So dumb but whatever.
I want daycare for $150/wk AND my current salary!
I have two;
I use the TV as a baby-sitter multiple times a day, everyday. It's the only way I can keep my toddler from destroying the house/barging into his sister's room while I put her down for naps.
I get jealous of your GTGs, Chelsey! Because I live in the NW suburbs and probably not super far away from you!
My nephews birthday is 4/18 and L was born 4/17. My SIL was induced on 4/17 but my nephew decided until after midnight to show up. I really hoped L wouldn't be born the same day as my nephew. My SIL and brother were hoping that she WAS born on 4/18. Anyways, I get what you are saying. I just dread the "so what weekend are you having the party on" and coordinating conversations since we live close by.
Chels, when I see someone write that they're jealous, I assume the mean jealous of the GTG, not of meeting a particular bumpie. I can also confirm that you're awesome.
I'm surreptitiously bumping during a meeting so I'll think of an FFFC in a bit!
I remember you saying where you are from, and it's not far away at ALL. I would totally be down for a GTG with you
My FFFC: I have never heard the word surreptitiously and had to look it up.
Woohoo!
Also, I guess that is what people are probably referring to about the GTG, but I feel like the people I get to meet are way more awesomer than me, so I totally understand if they were jealous I got to meet them :coughyoucough:
And I'm realizing how much of a GTG tramp I am! Man, I have met a lot of you guys!
I'm always jealous of GTGs...seems there aren't enough in the DC area to do one. Also, I'm too lazy to plan one myself.
I'm trying to think of a good FFFC, but I honestly can't.
Last night I put DD to bed earlier than usual because DH was out of the house and I really wanted some quiet alone time.
Last week, I went to the dermatologist and found out I have a third nipple. How I missed that over the past thirty-odd years is totally beyond me. And no, it is not connected to mammary glands.

I'm in the same boat! I feel sad that I'm not included more, but it's my own dang fault for not posting more. And I don't post more because I'm usually on my kindle which is PITA to post from. And d*mnit the kiddo is awake.... this is only her 2nd nap of the day and it was only for 30 min and DH is working, and I'm about to loose my mind.
teehe I used to try this but it never worked. I remember thinking they should really invent a soothie face strap type device?! Just because the paci was useless for us as it just kept falling out.
My FFFC: When DD was 4 weeks old my sister came to visit. We found out she was 7 weeks pregnant and I was so excited for her. She was having a couple issues, but they had seen the heart beat on an ultrasound, and felt good about everything.
A few weeks later my mom told me that my sister lost the pregnancy. She didn't want to tell me because she didn't want me to cry on the phone with her and make her upset. I didn't quite know how to handle the situation. So I called her once, left her a voicemail that said I was so sorry to hear about the news and let her know if she wanted to talk to call me any time. I waited to see if she called me back. She never did. So I left it at that.
I never talked to her about it, and everyone told me she was really doing ok. I wasn't sure if me having a new baby bothered her at all, or if she really didn't care at all, or if she wanted to forget about it. I just didn't know what to do. So I did nothing other than that first phone call. I was nervous to push myself on her, but I also feel guilty that I didn't try to make more of an effort to talk to her.

I can't speak for your sister, but I can speak for myself. When I had my loss, the last thing I wanted was for a ton of family members to call me and constantly ask me "are you ok?" (I'm not saying this is you or your family, I'm just strictly speaking about how I would have felt). It was a tough time, and my family made sure to know that they were very sorry, and that they were there for me, and if I needed to talk, they would be there for me. I would say if she didn't reach out to you to speak more about it, it was maybe because it was too difficult, and she didn't want to re-hash it. I wouldn't push, but just let her know that you love her and are there for her, should there be anything she needs to talk about.
Everyone jumped ship! Haha, not much going on around here lately.
so lame.
Awwww, shucks!!
I thought of mine. When Kai was born, my best friend from college sent an AMAZING package. It had lots of really useful things, plus homemade bread and a long, thoughtful letter. She had her second baby in July, and I left a "congratulations" voicemail for her but I haven't acknowledged his birth in any other way. It's not that I'm a horrible person...it's that I'm totally intimidated by how awesome her package was. I feel like I don't want to send anything until I can put together something stellar, but I can't get it together to do that. And the more time goes by, the weirder it gets. I know I just need to SEND SOMETHING. I don't know what my problem is.
This is totally me right now too! A friend (an internet friend I met through YouTube, no less) sent me two huge, amazing packages when I was pregnant. She is about to enter her third trimester now and I haven't sent her anything because I feel the same way. I can't really afford to reciprocate with a package of the same size and I feel like everything I think of to send just isn't enough. I am lame!
yup. The UO was not great either.
I WANT CONTROVERSY DAMMIT!!!
OMG!! I have a similar one! My DH's brother just knocked up another girl. Yes, I said it, another girl. This will be his third baby momma and 4th child. He hardly knows this girl. They have dated for only a few months. None of the family knows her, she is a stranger to us. And, to top it all off, she is due right around my Amelia's birthday!! For some reason, all of the above has just really pissed me off! I cant even look at him when I see him.
I know! Me too! Last week we had lively debate and everybody flipped out. Now we can only talk about boring stuff that no one actually disagree about.
I am the same way, I am trying to make an effort to post more so that people know who i am, I can't be sad that nobody wants to be my friend if they don't know who i am.
And I thought about setting up a GTG (I live in MD) but I am scared to because I am a bit shy IRL.
nuh uh, you are wrong, you bish! you know nothing! How do you like them apples
False. You, in fact, are the wrong one. Who's with me???
Both yall bishes is wrong! I am right!
::screams in fear::
TOO NEGATIVE!!!
I like kittens and rainbows
gumdrops and first snows
I like warm spring days and lazy summer afternoons
Flower petals in first bloom!
I like hugs and smiles
Good conversations and puppy dog eyes
I like boots in fall and nice summer sandals
I of course HATE any kind of scandals
who is with me! fight negativity! Only peace. Peace and love and butterflies to all!
Lol
I live in VA but seriously agree about being shy to met people IRL, so not sure what DH would say If I was going to meet bumpiest, as he side eyes the bump
