I know someone has to have been naughty!!

I left my shopping cart in the middle of the Trader Joe's parking lot yesterday. I always try to park next to a cart return but the closest I could get was like 16 spots away. When it came out it was cold and snowing, so no way was I leaving DD in the cart while I unloaded and dragging her to and from the return. And no way in hell was I leaving her alone in the car. So I was that a-hole.

Toddler Confession: I have told my 2 year old daughter for two weeks straight that I don't have her music in the car, to wean her from her toddler tunes. I don't mind them 90% of the time. But I was going to go insane if every. single. time. I was in the car I was forced to sing Wheels on the Bus.

Bad mommy!

I did this at Lowes yesterday. As I was leaving it started rolling away and some guy took it to the cart return. He gave me a dirty look. I don't feel bad at all.

I joined the facebook group. Now I feel all confused and can't keep up with who's who. I can't keep up with all the activity.....FB is not as easy as TB.....

However, I totes am enjoying the stalking of everyone and seeing real pictures

Oh....and another.....

last night, at Wal-Mart, I noticed that for the 50th anniversary of Pop-Tarts they have brought back Chocolate vanilla cream pop-tarts.

This is my favorite flavor and has been discontinued for years.

Of course, this means I bought EVERY.SINGLE.BOX. Yes, literally, I bought all of them.....I plan to eat them all, except for one box which I am going to send to my sister in Abu Dhabi.

My OB is going to fuss about my weight!

Our Trader Joes only has a cart return by the door. Hobby Lobby has none. I don't know what they expect people with babies/toddlers to do, but I've been in the same predicament several times!

Dammit ladies! This group is seriously going to drive me to Pop Tart eating!

Your saving grace is that it was at Trader Joe's -- I always see employees running the carts in from the parking lot. There's normally a guy that jumps out as me (creep!) as soon as I'm done loading my bags in.

FFFC: I was changing my son's diaper last night before bed (we cloth) and he'd made a "gift" for me in the fleece liner. I set the liner aside on top of the diaper pail so I could take care of it once I'd put him down....and then forgot about it.

Turns out he can reach his diaper pail from the crib now.

:-O

Me too! I am too chicken to send any friend requests, though, because I'm paranoid that I may like some people more than they like me.

In non-FB related confessions...I had two of them yesterday and can't remember them now to save my life. I'll see if they come back to me at some point.

Me too....I looked you up yesterday and didn't send the request. But, you have a request now

codik86 · January 2014

I want a new car, and to buy stuff but I don't want to work full time. I want a money tree. Yes, I realize how greedy this sounds. Its not realistic but eh,a girl can dream.

Edit for spelling

Yep, same! And it's still sort of overwhelming, but becoming less so now that more people are signing their posts now.

Me too. I may just start adding people and just go with it. Hopefully no one will think I'm a weirdo and I won't get butthurt if they reject me !

Thank goodness I read this post b/c it reminded me I have a brand new box of pop tarts in the pantry! I can't wait to put one in the toaster.

On that food related note, my FFFC....
My 20w OB appt was this past Monday. I cannot tell you how I agonized over my weight gain the entire month of December. I worked out pretty regularly the last 2 weeks and tried to eat good, but definitely indulged on way more cookies and treats than I should have at parties over the holidays. At my appointment, I'd gained 5 lbs since the last appt, BUT the OB said everything looks great and your weight gain is on track. Whaaaaaa? Maybe she misread the numbers.

I promptly had DH take me to Penn Station for a cheese steak on the way home and have been carbing out ever since. I've eaten something bad every day. WTF is wrong with me?!? And now I still want a pop tart...

Miles2Go · January 2014

Dd and I are still laying in bed at almost 10am. She's been asking to go "down down" to the "Chichen" and have a banana for about an hour, but I don't want to get out of bed. So every time she tells me she's hungry, I just offer to nurse instead. So far she's gone for it and is still happy, but I feel guilty that it's this late and she hasn't had breakfast yet.

mrspopsicle · January 2014

This is spurred from a post earlier this week about crib bumpers.

I get worked up about people who do not take proper precautions against SIDS. I'm a nurse in a pediatric ICU. We see multiple "near-SIDS" cases every year. In my five years I've never seen one with a good outcome. A huge majority of these cases are questionable suffocation due to babies sleeping on their stomachs, on adult beds, in beds with siblings, or in cribs with things like bumpers, blankets or pillows. Of course we've seen a few cases where all precautions were taken, but they are much more rare.

These cases are just so tragic. They are some of the hardest to see. The parents didn't mean to do anything to harm their baby. They are obviously devastated. Not only is their baby in an ICU with a poor prognosis, but they also have to go through a police investigation to rule out any abuse or neglect. It's just so heartbreaking, I never want anyone else to have to experience it.

MamaLlama14 · January 2014

I have total Mommy Guilt that DS is continuing to go to daycare even though I've been pulled from work and I'm home. Some days I feel totally fine and run errands, clean the house, etc... and feel like I'm such a bad parent for sending him off to someone else. But then I have a day like yesterday where I sleep all day and end up in LD and remember that I couldn't possibly take care of him alone all day long with the way I feel right now. Every time I lift him, against doctors orders, I'm afraid will be the time I start to bleed. Plus, I justify it by reminding myself how much he loves his daycare friends. HIs routine will be destroyed once LO arrives, so I want him to have as much normalcy as possible right now. Although the savings from not having a daycare bill would be nice, too....

Katemr1146 · January 2014

I ate two entire bags of candy hearts in less than 24 hours...whoops!

I'm not a big fan of the Kardashians, but I really do like Leah Jenner. I think we could be friends.

I'm finding the FB group a bit overwhelming & the FB format is too disorganized for my liking.

IBackBevo · January 2014

My FFFC is that I can't remember what my FFFCs were going to be...but I know I had some.

Chellbell20 · January 2014

I've been holding on to one all week. I don't like being pregnant. I'm looking forward to delivery more than the next 4 months. It's not the growing belly or weight gain, heck this is one of the times I like my body shape the best. It's the being sick, and heartburn, and not eating what my brain wants (but my stomach doesn't). It's the back pain, and peeing 5 times a night already, and not being able to get comfortable. It's the migraines and not being able to take anything. It's the kicked in the crotch feeling when I wake up in the morning.

I get it, I should be grateful I can even get pregnant. I should love every minute since this is most likely our last. Others have it worse than I do. I know this. But for me, pregnancy is a means to an end.

This. I had a good one as recently as yesterday, and now that it's Friday, I have no clue what it was.

I don't think my marriage could survive going 9 months without sex. We start yelling at one another after 5 or 6 days. We get really cranky about it really easily.

Yeah, we're the same, but we've always been this way. I know friends/couples who can and do happily go that long, so it's just different strokes I suppose!

carissa32581 · January 2014

I parked in the "new or expectant mother" parking at the grocery store the other day. I have always felt that these should be reserved for people who are VERY pregnant or have babies but it was freezing and I only needed two things.

mrspopsicle · January 2014

@kitchencolors I always do the same thing. And then I get there and most people tend to be in yoga pants and cute athletic tops. I need better mom clothes. My yoga pants are all old and I don't have any good maternity tops to wear with them that fit over my belly and aren't just baggy old sweatshirts.

ETA: we start baby and me swim lessons on Sunday. I have a maternity suit but I am not looking forward to showing it off!

kramja01 · January 2014

I am overwhelmed by the Facebook group! I would love to spend more time playing on it, but I have been a really bad employee the past two days and I really need to do some work.

I spoke with my mom about my baby shower last night, and gave her a draft invite list, per her request. I made notes on it how most of the people live far away, or are too old, and just wouldn't come. We have a very small family to start with, and I don't have a ton of girlfriends (and they are spread over the country) It made me sad to think there will probably only be a few people there

This is me too, I think I sent three, but I was overly geeked to receive some!

mirdamae03 · January 2014

I love my job, it's got awesome benefits and pay, but I would love to SAH with my boys too. I wish I could find a better balance between the two, but part-time isn't really an option.

Kris2011RN · January 2014

My sister is pregnant and due in February. A lot of my family members think I should give her all my baby stuff. I am hosting her shower tomorrow and I am having another baby, why do I have to give her my stuff when she is getting all new things. Also she is having a boy and I am having a girl, I don't want to give all of DS' s clothes to her. She isn't respectful of other people's property and I will probably want some of the clothes back.

Oh 1 more thing, I can't find my a/s pictures. I feel like I am not cherishing these pictures as much as I was with DS. I feel horrible about it!

Can you just give her the clothes you wouldn't want back? I don't give away ANYTHING that I may want to keep in the future.....but, there are always tons of clothes that I end up donating!

husker10 · January 2014

I'm getting zero work done today because of switching back and forth between TB and the FB group and trying to figure everyone out.

I'm also excited because MH went on an ice fishing trip this weekend and is going to be gone for 4 days. I finally can sleep without ear plugs for 3 nights since he won't be here snoring, and I can bring the dog in the house to hang out with me (she's not supposed to come inside because she sheds and it drives H nuts).

sammy.k · January 2014

I've never been to Trader Joe's. I think I'm missing out....

jackdustin · January 2014

Someone on here yesterday brought up the term mucous plug...I remember cringing whenever i saw the term last time I was pregnant...I cringed when I saw the word yesterday too...don't like the word moist or glisten either...

I was totally the person that gave someone a dirty look and said "Really?" too loudly the other day at Target, when she actually used my back bumper to rest her cart against to keep it from rolling. It's easier to get away with when the person driving the car you're using as a prop isn't walking 10 feet behind you. And this lady's kids were a bit older and it was not bad weather. I just stared at her while she mumbled an apology and walked it the extra 20 ft. to the cart return.

I'm considering buying a britax infant seat even though we have a perfectly good non britax one, just so I can use it on the lower spot on our stroller. That way DD could be on top and sleeping blob can be on he bottom. I should do it,right?

I get upset every weekend morning when I fail to make my container of Fage last more than 5 days and then have to eat something else for breakfast. It's the food of the gods.
