I accidentally shrank one of DH's shirts- it's a linen/Cotten blend and it just snuck through the washer and dryer without my notice. Now it wouldn't even fit me.

I have not told him and have hidden the evidence. Maybe he will forget it exists? Oh, also, it was really damn expensive, like over $100. Shitballs.

My parents came down to visit last weekend. My mom noticed a lot of weeds in our front landscaping so she goes "I'm guessing it has all those weeds because you can't bend down to pull them anymore. I'll do that for you." I told her that was the reason. Truth is, I have a little bench thing I can sit on and reach them just fine - even now. I've just been lazy and don't really care about it as much as she does.

I can't remember the last time I ate a vegetable.

I actually got one! Yesterday I got an a MAZ ing slice of carrot cake. We are talking so yummy it almost made me cry I was so happy. Well after a couple of hours I felt something in my shirt. It was a huge crumb! I got so excited you thought it was Christmas. Yep, you bet I ate the crumb that was living in boobland for 2 hours! And it was delicious!

I'll bet that bad boy was SUPER moist, too!!

I cannot bring myself to write "congrats" or "ts&PS" half heartedly for posters I don't even recognize.
Then when there are a hundred responses to the post I get confused and think maybe I'm wrong and it's a regular poster and I start to feel guilty, but still don't post because I don't "know" that person.

Meee too! I mean, I love that there's a healthy baby and all, but it's almost like a drive by. I guess I feel like, "oh, neat" towards people I don't know that well vs "OHMYGOSH!!!" excitement like I feel for DT today.

I feel kinda horrible about it.

babymama619 · October 2013

When choosing my pants this morning I chose the pair that was "less gross" than the other pair. Pregnancy has made me a gross person.

@kfran84

If you soak the shirt in a bowl of water with fabric softener/hair conditioner mix, it should loosen up the fibers. Might not get to the original size but it has worked for me in the past!

ETA: spelling..ugh.

Thanks! I will give that a shot!

I tried to find the same shirt online to buy a replacement but it was Summer '12 collection, so it found one on eBay but it was the wrong size. Grr...

I can't bring myself to care about my lawn. DH is really lazy about mowing, and I've given up asking him (OK, nagging - I admit I have to nag him about this or it won't get done!). My flower bed is full of weeds and hasn't been watered in so long even the weeds are dying! My garden is somehow producing veggies, but I can't muster up the energy to go out back and harvest. Even when I do, they just sit in the fridge until they go bad...

3Dewdrops · October 2013

I think I've tripled the amount of food I'm eating the last few days. Why am I starving? Who knows. I'm just going to roll with it.

CaitS07 · October 2013

I got a nesting bug so bad yesterday that I inventoried the pantry, spice cabinet, freezer and fridge. I even put a list and added categories in Excel. All this to avoid actually working or putting away baby shower gifts.

Sounds about right. The only way I can get DH to mow is if I threaten to do it myself and then I normally have to "bargain" with him to at least do the front so our house doesn't look horrible. DH gets pissed if I do too much yard related (I can water, pick the tomatoes and pick up after the dog).

dobrydney · October 2013

I'm currently sitting at work trying to think of ways I could possibly get out of here before 5:00 PM even though I know it isn't going to happen. My desk chair sucks and it feels like I was drop kicked in the pelvis.

krm112013 · October 2013

My coworkers are throwing a baby shower for me today, against my will, I've told them on more than one occasion that it's not necessary. Especially considering the women I talk to here regularly I already invited to my family/friends baby shower (which is like 3 people total) and they either came to the shower or have already given me a gift. Granted, it's only going to be like 6 women from my department, but I just feel weird accepting gifts from people I don't talk to very much.

I'm trying really hard to be happy about it, but showers here whether baby/wedding are so unbelievably awkward. I've been a few and they're like torture.

At least there will be cake. I like cake.

I'm pissed at my husband because he is "sick." And by "sick," I mean being a baby and milking what might possibly be a small, tiny reaction to getting his flu shot on Wednesday. The man was convinced that he was going to get the flu from the shot that I "forced" him to get. He complained all day yesterday and is staying home from work today.

I'm angry because he doesn't have that much vacation time, and I want him to save it for when the baby arrives, and I'm also mad that he is just going to be sitting at home doing nothing all day when there is SO MUCH we have to do before the baby comes. But, I would also be pissed if he starts doing things, because why is he too sick to go to work, but not sick enough to have to be in bed.

Mine is the opposite, he could be dead and would still drag himself to work which is sometimes just as bad. Silly men.

fitmama418 · October 2013

Oh please Lord let my husband never stumble across this...

He's got this....funky ass rash going on down south these days. He keeps putting off calling the doctor because "he doesn't have his new insurance cards yet and doesn't know what to do." Powders aren't helping. Apple cider vinegar isn't helping. NOTHING. I told him he's now lost blowie privs as well as sex (which we don't have because it's very uncomfortable for me anymore). Sorry...I'm not putting that grundle fungal anywhere near my mouth now; I've got a baby to think about, too!

EDIT: I think I spelled grundle wrong. Silly me.

This is a Cards Against Humanity reference, but does this make anyone else think of "The taint, the grundle, the fleshy fun bridge"?

YES. Best CAH card in that deck.

Me too! But only because when I was a nanny the three year old told me "Abby, just take a deep breath and calm down, it's gonna be okay" when I asked her to come inside from the play ground..

lamo1210 · October 2013

I'm 36 weeks this Sunday. I wish baby would come "early" (meaning, 36/37 weeks) just so my PgAL brain can shut it. I know the longer he is in there the better. But I'm just so stressed about how there is 4 weeks left until due date and to me that is 4 weeks of anything possible going wrong.

(I'm hoping he comes "early" on his own, not with medical intervention)

Someone very dear to me, but who I also get easily annoyed with, has started posting Facebook posts from the POV of her new baby. This is a thing ladies, please never do it. You may THINK it's a clever, cute way to AW both your baby and your wit...but I promise you, no one else thinks that.

I guess my confession, is that I unsubscribed from her and refuse to comment on any of those posts even if it's a cute pic of the baby. It's against my FB code of morals and values.

Honest Toddler is freakin' hilarious...

The average Joe just can't pull it off, though.

I have a work potluck in about 5 minutes and I fully intend to do some serious damage. My coworkers are about to witness something special.

One of the pluses about being pregnant with DS1 over the holidays was all the amazing food and baked goods that my co-workers brought into the office...this was also a downside to being pregnant during the holidays as I gained 80 lbs!

...................Why is the quote function so difficult?

I keep unsubscribing from people lately. Am I extra grouchy or do people keep posting lamer and lamer stuff?

Shoot. That happens to me, like, every 6 minutes. Snissing, man.

Dreamingmommy4 · October 2013

So today is DHs birthday and I make him a cheesecake (his favorite) every year, but I am currently sitting on the couch in my bathrobe trying to get up the motivation to go put on real cloths (like pants and a bra) to go to the grocery store for ingredients, and I don't wanna!!. I think my motivation may be getting a giant cinnamon role from the bakery when I go.

Yes! Actually I did, so we'll see how that turns out in a couple of hours. I'm hoping I'm not lugging a bunch of stuff home on the train tonight - not to mention the mile walk I have to do to get to the train from my building!

katie.725 · October 2013

The message boards on my work computer are back up finally... I haven't done much of anything at work today.... I found some dresses for a wedding next summer!

hologram87 · October 2013

I sobbed last night when I couldn't get our Xbox to work so I could do Netflix streaming. I really wanted to watch the Katy Perry documentary. I don't know why it was so important to do at that moment, but I full on had a meltdown. DH walked upstairs and felt so bad. He tried to get it to work and said there was an outage. By that point I was exhausted and didn't even care. What's up pregnancy hormones?!?!?

katie.725 · October 2013

DH was given a little Christmas house from his mom who has Alzheimer's, we have never brought the house out for display and it sits in a box in the basement. DH can never find a good spot to store it.. every day I get closer and closer to throwing it out. I honestly don't think he'd notice. And as far as I'm aware it holds no sentimental value

Pretty sure this makes me sound heartless, but I did not marry a hoarder...

babymama619 · October 2013

I've been eating Cheetos in the middle of the night this week. They're delicious.

artistlife · October 2013

I love the gigantic bows on baby girls. However, once your baby becomes a toddler or child it is time to put the gigantic bows and tutus away until dress up. It's no longer cute.

SweetLaura286 · October 2013

I have GD and at my appt on Tuesday I saw a doctor I hadn't seen before and he was so harsh. My numbers all day are great but my fasting is a little high. All of the other drs have let it slide. He was all "you basically have uncontrolled diabetes!" And other rude things with no pleasantries. Well on the way home I was so aggravated.. You don't tell a pregnant woman who hasn't eaten anything delicious in forever, checks sugars all day, and goes to drs Appts constantly that she has "uncontrolled diabetes". So screw you, I got DH a pumpkin latte.. And myself a nice Boston Cream Donut

Karadee1 · October 2013

I'm still terrified of becoming a parent. Thrilled, happy and super excited, absolutely yes. But still terrified. I ugly cry about this to my husband about once a week. I can't believe I'm going to be in charge of another human being in just a few short weeks. What if I break him?! gah!

LoveOfMikesLife · October 2013

My house is a mess and my in laws are coming tomorrow but instead of cleaning I'm laying in bed, with an ice pack on my vagina catching up with you ladies

amberrrjade · October 2013

Oh, Goodness, mine is so lame. When I beat people's #1 scores on Candy Crush I instantly feel way better about myself and when it's over 100,000 points I really want to share it because I feel "smarter." Then I wonder WTF is wrong with me.
