FFFC!

Firefly9 · January 2014

Let's hear them!

NoelMarieFrey · January 2014

My FFFC- I can be ungrateful of how understanding, and wonderful my SO is. I know I am so lucky to have him, but sometimes when I see him peacefully sleeping and I am wide awake, I just want to throw a pillow at him !!

BUT He has had some serious sympathy weight gain this pregnancy, and I am enjoying it just a little. So now he knows what its like to carry around some extra weight!

Firefly9 · January 2014

This is a lame one because I always think of a FFFC in the middle of the week and can't remember it by Friday.

I have too many expensive cloth diapers, but now that one girl who is selling a newborn one I've been eyeballing has dropped her price, I'm considering buying another one...not knowing if NB size will even fit this new little guy, and if they do, it won't be for long. See? Lame and boring, but it's all I've got for now.

ETA: Just remembered another one. I really don't feel like getting involved in bigger projects at work right now, because I don't want to go on maternity leave in the middle of one, so I've been especially lazy here the last few days (holiday break the two snow days certainly didn't help my motivation).

There are times (too many if you ask me) where I would rather snuggle my cat than my husband. It's nothing against DH, I just really love the fluffiness of my cat.

Soap1 · January 2014

I've been feeling SO grumpy and miserable the past couple of days, I've been totally the worst mom ever. I've been leaving my kids at day care 30 minutes longer than normal and basically expecting them to play in their room by themselves all evening. I don't have it in me to play or do crafts or anything, and I lose my temper at them super quickly.

I feel so guilty!

notreal2 · January 2014

I wrote a dramatic complaint letter to Kroger, telling them they were dead to me. They sent me coupons. I am thinking of forgiving them. It's been 2 days, they've suffered enough.

spicysurro · January 2014

Maternity boudoir photos creep me out. I mean if you feel sexy in all your pregnant glory more power to you, but they just seem creepy to me.

I only own one pair of maternity leggings, and I've worn them approximately 4 times a week, every week since the end of September. They're faded and grungy, and I could've afforded to buy another pair at $20, but it's not gonna happen now!

This, pretty much all of my maternity shirts are too small on me now and I barely have anything to wear. I mean, at this point IDGAF enough to go and get new ones- so I'm pretty much doing nothing but wearing a robe from now on. Everyone talks about how great no pants is - I say, Yay no clothes at all!

I canceled a lunch date AND a dinner date with some friends and told them I just wasn't feeling well. It was actually just because I'm anti-social at the end of my pregnancy and I just don't want to be around anyone. I want to be at home, on my couch, MAYBE with my DH, and a carton of ice cream.

I am guilty of this... All the time. We're going to visit my SO family this weekend in PA, and if it wasn't our Christmas celebration and etc, I would totally try and get out of it.

I can't poop unless I have something warm on or under my feet. (Socks/bathmat)

This is me too. My fiance likes to complain about how loving and snuggly I am with our cats. I just shrug it off. The fluffiness is comforting. Funny thing is I think the cat is getting a little too big headed over this, and I think he likes to cuddle with me just to annoy my fiance. It's funny to watch.

So I guess my confession is I like watching my cat and fiance fight over who gets to be closest to me. The cat usually wins because he can snuggle up on my lap.

dunvilles · January 2014

I have SO much to do around my house (laundry, sweep, dust, mop, etc... etc... etc...) which I SHOULD do today...

I made time to go walk around Target and check out the clearance items/baby items and now I am exhausted. I see a nap in my future. Sorry DH, house will not be cleaned again today.

shellbell3845 · January 2014

I had to go to a funeral yesterday, and I wore yoga pants with a sweater. It was laundry day, and my one pair of black dress pants that still fit were in the dirty pile.

A man was walking around looking lost this morning at the hospital. I wanted to keep walking past but I stopped and asked if he needed help. He asked for directions to an office three buildings over from where I work. I gave him directions, but he wanted me to walk with him. I said no and called a security guard to come over and help him find it. Between my hips, ribs and now Charlie horses throughout the day, there was no way I was walking that far, and I was angry because he asked. Poor man.

You stopped and helped him and found him an escort! Nothing to feel bad about here.

Agreed! Plus, I don't think you should have walked him anyway. He could have been a perfectly nice man, but not worth the risk IMO.

Thanks guys.

I felt bad, but you have a point. Fffc fail. Haha

I really need to clean the bathrooms. Like a serious deep clean. BUT I want to wait until I'm just barely still able to (size-wise) so it will be that much closer to my EDD and they'll still be clean when I bring LO home.

Which means I've been putting off cleaning the bathrooms for like... three months.

------
I finally broke down and did it yesterday because apparently DS missed and hit the wall at some point. My pregnant nose couldn't take it. Bleh! But I was going to wait until early labor. Lol

inluv4life2 · January 2014

Even though I didn't *need* it, I impluse bought a new dress for my sprinkle this weekend. The activity was a secret until a few days ago and when I found out that it's afternoon tea at a swanky hotel, I just HAD to buy a new dress. So what if I'll only wear it once, maybe twice? I want to feel cute at my sprinkle!

And on that topic, I am super excited for the get-together. It's just 6 ladies including me and we'll just have tea, visit and laugh. No pressure, no registry. Just much needed girl time with my favorites, include my HS BFF who is driving down from LA!

ETA: This was more of an AW. Sorry but I can't help it.

Ditto this, why would he ask a pregnant lady to walk with him? Sounds a little creepy to me! Glad you found him a buddy, instead!

I think that's why it pissed me off when he asked. Dude, you saw me limping and swaying to walk up to you. Wth?

Another one: MIL scheduled a routine colonoscopy for one week past my EDD. She expects DH to take her. I know the world doesn't revolve around me and my pregnancy and my EDD, but I was not happy when i found this out and I actually think this is a little selfish on her part. Especially expecting my H to take her. I'm now secretly hoping LO comes late and we're in the hospital that day. She wouldn't be able to come to the hospital to meet LO/ignore me/say dumb things because of the prep for a colonoscopy. The only downside is that I know it would put DH in an uncomfortable position (again).

Akrani · January 2014

Jaysmommy06 props to you for even offering to help! Maybe chivalry isn't dead - at least not where women are concerned...

I was commuting home last night and a very sweet older woman (not elderly but certainly deserving of a seat on a packed train) offered me her spot when all the able-bodied "gentlemen" around her pretended not to notice. I declined but not before pointedly saying, "but thank YOU for offering" and then glaring at the inconsiderate jerks.

Also, I got an "8 months sober" t-shirt from my sis for xmas and have been wearing it off & on ever since. Both with & without pants.

The FFFC is that I won't be 8 months until next Thurs. Whoops?

He should tell her now that he can't. Just have him say he doesn't know when baby will come, that he won't leave you alone while in labor or recovering in the hospital or right after you got home, and so he can't commit. "It'd be unfair to you, mom, if I said I could do it when chances are soemthing will come up. Find another ride now so you're not scrambling."

Btwilhelm · January 2014

Yesterday I yelled at the cashier at wal-mart because she wouldn't honor a price. (The item was stocked in the wrong spot.) they tried to tell me they don't do that because it "may" of been a customer who moved it, all 20 of them were in the wrong spot.

I feel especially bad because I used to be a manager at Target and always told myself I would never be "that" customer.

Pregnancy and ridiculously long lines got the best of me.

magentawarped · January 2014

DD's birthday party is tomorrow. The house is a disaster and I really should be cleaning, but because I've had three straight days of hormonal ugly crying, DH told me that he doesn't expect me to do any kind of housework at this point. I feel fine today, but I'm totally not even going to make an effort other than maybe a load of laundry. He'll take care of it.

Nope! A few looked up but then immediately avoided eye contact. Guess they were scared of the big, bad, hormonal pregnant woman!

I was going to make every effort to eat healthy things today. I woke up and ate two (big) bowls of Lucky Charms. It's only 8am.

1) Yesterday I was late to work because I couldn't stop grazing in the kitchen. I had a craving for something but couldn't figure out what. I snacked on everything I could until I was satisfied. I was 15 minutes late and didn't care one bit.

2) I fell asleep on the couch last night while DH watched tv. I woke up to the sound of my own fart. I pretended to be asleep so H wouldn't make fun of me. I was so embarrassed and I've never farted in front of him before...ever! I'm still hoping he didn't hear it lol

How on God's green earth have you never farted in front of your husband before??
FWIW- I highly suggest it, it brings a whole new level to the relationship.

I was wondering this as well.

How long have you been married? Does he fart in front of you? What do you do if you need to fart while you're with him?

No worries... giving birth will bring their relationship to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL!

I have ordered the veggie and dill dip tray and hummus and crackers with every meal at the hospital and I'm eating like a teenage boy and won't be surprised if I actually put on a few lbs before I'm discharged Tom! It's soooo good, I don't have heartburn ( although the gas pain is way worse) and I don't have to cook it

Also I have found that if I bend forward and actually spread my butt cheeks I don't have to push nearly as hard to get this gas out.... The nurse that discovered me in the middle if my technique, I think will knock from now on

Giraffealaff · January 2014

I understand having some keepsakes or rather physical items that carry a sentimental value that links us to family members who have passed. What I dont understand is when every single item from a relative you never met becomes sentimental and impossible to throw out.

On farting: I hate farting (whether I'm doing it or someone else is) and think it's gross. DH and I have been together for 9-ish years, and I can probably count on one hand the times I've farted in front of him, and they were can't-hold-it situations. I wish I could say the same about him! Sorrynotsorry. I'm uptight!

I can understand that. Farting is gross. Unfortunately I have severe digestion all issues and holding them in was no longer an option. Luckily my husband lived in barracks and other small spaces with giant groups of other stinky men, so I can't really gross him out too easily.
However, I CANNOT poop if H (or anyone) is anywhere near the bathroom door. This made it really hard when we lived in a tiny condo. Anxiety case, much?

Also, I want to apologize that all my confessions today had to do with poops.

I fart. A lot. Especially in front of my husband. Buffy =/= classy.

Ditto. I've even farted in his face during a rather intimate moment. This was while we were still dating, and he asked me to marry him anyways. I'm glad it wasn't a deal breaker. I'm a gassy lassy.

OMFG. The first time I ever went down on DH, he became so relaxed, he let one go in my face. I almost died. Gulped for air. Gave it a few minutes and then finished. I'm fairly sure that was the moment he realized he was going to marry me.

@Bookshelves we are living the same lyfe. I've gone to the restroom three times today already and I am in borderline panic mode. I'm now rapidly trying to pick up the house so, ya know, the baby that isn't going to come for at least another 6 weeks doesn't come out of the womb ready to walk and promptly trip on a Mickey Mouse book.

@buffaluffagus Seriously! My back is killing me -- must be a labor sign! It can't be because I've been sitting in an uncomfortable desk chair writing a grant all afternoon, right?

My doctor isn't doing any cervical checks until next week at my 38-week appointment, and I think that's a good thing, because the last thing I need is one more "sign" to interpret. I'm exhausting myself already.

(In all seriousness, I hope your bathroom issues resolve themselves!)

Same boat here! Back pain, pressure, loose bowels=I must be in labor. I packed a bag the other day I got so paranoid. Then I got annoyed with myself.

I don't believe I've ever farted in front of MH and we've been together for 11 years. I leave the room if I have to. I think he thinks I just don't fart. He's not a farter either but is not shy about making noise in the bathroom!
Me either! We've been together 10 years and I still can't/won't fart in front of him. Idk why I'm a freak about it, but I just am.

So, if you're watching tv and have to fart do you just walk out of the room and then right back? Do you pretend to be doing something else so he doesn't wonder? What if you're in bed? I don't get out of bed once I'm comfy. Lazy>classy

Beachmommy1029 · January 2014

We don't fart in front of each other either... I have mastered the "silent but deadly." Luckily our dog is really gassy so it's easy to blame her

ETA- I overheard DF tell my dad he knew I was the one when I farted really loudly in my sleep and he thought it was cute. Talk about "aaaww/shoot me" moment.

pinkgrl84 · January 2014

My FFFC is that I went to lunch with one of my co-workers today and had my own fart moment. It was loud in the restaurant and I couldn't help myself so let it go. I thought I was good until a few moments later my co-worker looked up and let out an, "OMG..." I totally blamed the waiter and said he crop dusted us and we couldn't stop laughing about it. I was too embarrassed to confess it was really me!

cksmith29 · January 2014

Farts... I have been with DH for over 10 years and he has never heard me fart. He thinks I'm weird, but I rarely feel the urge to do it. My kids fart like men and DH is gross. It causes arguments.

Want a personalized experience?

FFFC!
