I can't be the only one with something to confess.

Spill it.

kristine526 · December 2013

Many of you already know (but it's bad enough that I'm not going to try to rack my brain for something else) that I ate... ALL... the cinnamon rolls. I baked, and ate all 8 of those glorious delicious morsels of amazingness, and I didn't share with my husband.

Instead, I did the dishes quickly, hid the evidence in my lunch bag to throw away at work, and turned on my Scentsy warmer (which has an apple/spice scent in it right now) to mask the smell of the cinnamon rolls.

Terrible, but SOOOOOOOOOOOOO delicious.

I've done this. Not with cinnamon rolls but witha bag of spicy nacho doritos. I went to the store and bought a new bag while he was at work and hid the half bag in the laundry room. I went on to finish them in the next day or so. The sad part? He wouldn't have cared. I was just embarrassed i ate so many.

I mentioned this in whine/win, but I spillked urine all over myself at the dr's office on Wednesday. I peed in the cup and with my pants still pulled down tried to hobble over to the counter to set my very full cup of urine down. Instead, I tripped, spilling the cup all over myself. One would have thought it would have splashed forward and away from me...not so much. I ended up soaking my skinny jeans. Luckily, they were black. But, yeah, I got to walk around with damp, pee soaked pants.

My car is 465 days overdue for a service. I don't drive very much, but this is still pretty stupid of me because it is an expensive car. I am taking it in next Wednesday. I had to make an appointment to get it serviced. Wtf?

Can't think of anything else right now, but I am sure more will come to me.

Edit: Apparently, pregnancy has also deprived me of the ability to spell, too. Can't fix spillked, though. It should be spilled.

My mom and I were planning to make a gingerbread house. I opened the bag of gumdrops because i wanted one red one and one green one. We are supposed to make the house tonight. I have to go buy more gumdrops because they're almost gone. Oops!!

Also, my naughty, naughty cat decided to pee in a laundry basket full of towels. Instead of washing them, I was so grossed out by the prospect of ever using them again that I threw them away and I have to go buy new towels today. I feel bad because of how wasteful it seems and the sense of first world entitlement. But cat piss is gross. I could not deal.

I really don't like adult onesies. I cringe when i see someone wearing one. Fair enough if you're at home in front of the tv, but not in public.

haltandsalute · December 2013

I am one of those people who are sending out a Christmas card with a (very small) picture of the U/S on it. :-O

I know people hate it and think it's tacky, and to be honest I'm a bit iffy on it myself, but DH suggested it and wanted to do it...how could I tell him no? He's like an excited little kid wanting to show it off.

I'm having major second thoughts about sending them out at all, but we paid $150 for the damn things and that is trumping the embarassment.

Why is this such a difficult task?? Every. single. time. I pee on my hand. This should not be such a problem. I think I'm going to start using the gloves provided in the restroom...

At the hospital I use they give you a bigger cup, so you can decant into the smaller one. So much more helpful. These places don't consider the fact that we don't have penises!

busterbeagle · December 2013

I'm 95% sure my son will have a pink nursery. Our kids will be sharing and its pink now. Painting sucks, he probably won't sleep in there for 6 months, we might move within a year if DH gets the job he's interviewing for next week, and it just seems like changing the room will impact DD unnecessarily.

I'm also going to sob when I go through DD's baby clothes.

I'm the same way, it's so gross! I wish they had something like the little measuring cup the hospital had that you just pee into and you don't have to hold it!

ykristos · December 2013

I peed my pants just a little on the way to work this morning due to an unexpected burst of laughter. It felt like a defining moment.

Eta: there is an excessive amount of urine-related confessions this morning!

ABColeslaw · December 2013

My sister is supposed to watch my son tonight so we can go to H's fancy work holiday party. But H isn't feeling well and I don't want to get fancied up, so we're excitedly making a list of things to shop for at Wally World (Walmart) "LOL" and while there I plan to say things like "Wicked" and the like, so onlooking bitches can judge me on the interwebz someday.

CamrynnsMommy · December 2013

My DD will probably watch more than the recommended amount of TV today, as we are potty training and I'd like to limit accidents to the hardwood rather than carpet, which means we are confined to downstairs.

Andplusalso, I have my last final and need to study.

Flame away!

Empireceo · December 2013

I gave DS a bath this morning. The last one he had was on Monday.

andoll8 · December 2013

constipation has been a constant issue since BFP. so, I compensate with prunes, prune juice, and mango juice. i overdid things the other day, and nearly shat myself on teh way to work. i arrived at the office clenching and sweating and had to practically hobble to the ladies room before the serious drama started.

end result: the most glorious and satisfying #2 experience of my life.

Empireceo · December 2013

I think our mods are evil oppressive dictators.

busterbeagle · December 2013

Watching the Care Bears Nutcracker has somehow become part of our morning routine. I can't say no to Care Bears! And I can also bump while she sits on me eating her breakfast.

Empireceo · December 2013

I'm supposed to do the Thursday Ticker change. Last week I forgot and this week I forgot to care and hoped someone else would post it. Sorry guys.

DD only gets a bath twice a week. She has extremely dry skin bordering on eczema and bathing drys her out worse, no matter home much lotion we use.

Empireceo · December 2013

I'm full of confessions today! Last one: There's no way I'm making it to May. DS was 9 days early and this baby is measuring large. However, there's also no way I'm joining the circus that is A14.

Don't even think about it!

awc1986 · December 2013

@marielynnk - I think it's up to the individual. If you want to go back then you shouldn't be made to feel like a bad mother. I'm taking 5-6 months because I can't afford to take longer. Personally I think I would be a worse parent if I stayed home and couldn't afford to feed and clothe my child than if I went back to work early.

I don't think I'm making it to May either. They are talking about a 36 week c-section for the sake of my liver at the moment. So that would put me smack dab at the end of April and I am not switching boards either. You guys are stuck with me.

Tifers777 · December 2013

I just dropped my phone on my face while reading these.. Yep. Oh and today my work decided to have a breakfast work party at 7 am when I don't go in until 12. My boss asks if I will be coming and I told her I was having breakfast with my DH when he gets out of work (like it was previously planned but not.) why would you do that and I drive there and back and there and back! So stupid!

I looked for it! It was going to be the first time I had a Thursday that I wasn't so busy that I thought I may actually participate. I almost started the thread and then chickened out because I'd never contributed before.

Another confession, I only figured out what was meant by ticker change about 4 weeks ago. Newb.

LunaBug924 · December 2013

I am having a sex reveal party next weekend and I'm really friggin' excited about it! I know a lot of ladies here think it's tacky and AWish, but I don't care. While I was going through my second loss, a friend of ours had hers. I side-eyed the shit out of her then, but it was mostly just jealousy and bitterness. Now it's my turn, damnit! And I'm going to have this party (which 30-40 people are coming to and more keep WANTING to be invited) because I've worked hard to get here and deserve it! Flame away! :P

You could kind of think of it as stimulating the economy a little bit. *bossy patriotic voice* It's your civic duty to buy new towels to keep the towel making industry going strong!

I have no intention of taking the entire year of maternity leave. I really love my job, I love my co-workers and I am very dedicated to my job, the thought of not working for an entire year has been a great stress factor for me. Therefore I have decided to take 7 months and return to work after the holidays next year (unless a problem arises with getting a spot at daycare). This does not mean I don't care about being a mother, I just feel as though I need a healthy balance. Everyone I talk to says “oh just wait, you will see, you will want the entire year” or “you won’t want to go back to work after 7 months”. They don’t understand that not all women think the same way! The only person that understands me and who doesn't try to change my mind and completely supports my decision is my MIL, who decided to go back to work after 2 months (granted at the time, they had 6 months mat leave I believe).

I feel like a year would be glorious, except that at the end of the year my going back to work brain might have turned into pudding, which would make the back-to-work transition even more difficult. I say congrats on having the option of so much time at home, and do what you feel is right for you and your family.

IBackBevo · December 2013

I don't blame you guys for not wanting to move. The one time I lurked on April, there were several posters basically defending crazy Elaine (the baby hitter) and saying that we were harassing her (b.s.) and mentioning cps was basically us being over dramatic. I guess I should not judge a board off of one or two threads and I am sure there are some cool posters, but what I saw made me give some of them the stink eye.

Honestly, I think we have an exceptionally good board here. I quit posting after a couple of months on my first bmb because the environment was nms...they ran off one long-time poster after flaming her for posting too much about her former stillbirth and anxieties in her then pregnancy; I got flamed big time for saying I thought it was ridiculous that homeless people had I-phones; and there was always some drama going on every.single.day. In the defense of the current board, I pretty much don't recognize anyone anymore when I occasionally lurk. But the experience makes me appreciate this board more.

btcruiserlove · December 2013

I've started weaning DD this week and cut out 1 feeding.....I cried for 2 hours. I pray DD isn't feeling the same way!

mrspopsicle · December 2013

I had mcdonalds yesterday and Burger King today. Does the mcdonalds count if I threw it up?

sparklingdiamond · December 2013

I am jealous of those who have the option of a year for maternity leave! I don't even know how I will manage the 6 weeks unpaid. Just hoping my boss lets me work from home some part time! I would love to be able to stay at home longer.

I agree. The power is going to their heads. We should have voted for some lurkey-loos.

Ummm...I'm arranging for 6 months of maternity leave. I'm already sitting here thinking, "Ummm...yeah right. Home with two kids 24/7 for 6 months?" I'll probably go back after 4 or 5.

I live in the US and 3 months off will be perfect for me. My hubby will then take 2-3 months off and then off to daycare he will go. I can't imagine staying home longer than that. I am a better mommy when I am a working mommy. I almost switched jobs and as a carrot, the dangled 6 months off (5 paid)....I was so torn, but only because I'd love the summer off, LOL.

I'm taking 3 months and don't remotely feel bad about not taking longer. Not that I have the option.

dogsombrero · December 2013

Every time I see a gender announcement post I think about the Jon Lajoie satire song and the line "Show me your genitals". If you guys haven't seen the video it's NSFW but a pretty mild satire of how women are depicted in some rap. Not that a song about dumb women makes me think of the gender reveal posts just the "Show me your genitals" line which I made DH promise not to say at our A/S.

Here is the link for the video if you want to watch it/ haven't seen it.
