I can't believe nobody started this yet. Let's hear 'em ladies.

Unless you're talking about your gross sheets. No one wants to hear about that

I rolled my eyes so hard at the poster who wrote 'enduce' that my eye balls hurt.

legallyginger · January 2014

My OB seems like she's a little induction happy. She said yesterday that he seems like he's on the bigger side and I'm now measuring two weeks ahead, whereas last week I was right on track. She moved up my growth ultrasound from 38w to 36w and said now that I'm on insulin she'll want to induce in the 39th week, if not before.

I know I should probably ask more questions and push back, but part of me is really okay with this. I'm so ready to be done. The anxiety over my blood sugar is getting overwhelming.

I don't think this is so bad seeing as I'm preggers. But DH and I are in the process of buying a house, we got our closing date yesterday it will be Feb. 14 so we will be moving feb. 22nd. My mom and I decided to have my shower on the 22nd as well, so now I get out of moving ANYTHING and not being there at all the day of ! So DH is in charge of getting the movers situated and making sure everything at the new house is in order, while im at my shower

. I mean I'm pregnant so how much could I have moved anyways ?!

I'll confess- I'm ungrateful. I'm annoyed that someone went on amazon, apparently couldn't even bother to look at my amazon registry, and bought and mailed to me two gifts that I think are rather useless. A battery-operated toy (I HATE battery toys! Not only are they annoying, but batteries are so bad for the environment and difficult to dispose properly!) and a PURPLE baby outfit. Maybe that's our fault since we weren't announcing the gender, but... My baby boy isn't going to wear a purple outfit. Thanks for... Two gifts that I'm likely never going to use?

This is a super lame FCC but I'm sitting in my pj's eating Doritos and watching Saved By the Bell instead of getting dressed to run errands.

Kewii · January 2014

I'm still sleeping straight through the night without having to get up to pee.

And yes, I drink my 2 liters of water almost every day.

southerncharm24 · January 2014

i think there are some hypochondriacs on here.

theluckiest9 · January 2014

I have a rare day off today because my caseload is low. I had big plans of prepping diapers, getting my car cleaned, washing baby clothes, etc. and all I've managed to do is let the dogs out to pee and eat eggos.

kmeyers0611 · January 2014

I am reading TB on my iPad instead of paying attention to my Webex/conference call... Oops!

Andreabills · January 2014

My school is doing a Saturday School testing intervention day tomorrow and I'm not going. I made copies of work for another teacher to go over with my kids but I don't want to be here and I'm using my 3D ultrasound as an excuse. I could totally come in for the first session and then leave for the appointment at 11 but if rather sleep in!

Since it's so lame, I'll flame you
Geeze get off your A and go get dressed! Put down the Doritos, and get your errands done. I can't believe you!

PS- I'm mostly jealous of the Doritos. Ranch or nacho cheese?

I deserve to be flamed for being so lame.

And the Doritos are spicy sweet chili.

AAAHH those are my favorite! Maybe we could have a lameo "we're completely unproductive" party today.

A lot of posts make me roll my eyes or want to say something really snarky, but I don't because no one else did and I think well maybe I'm the only asshole. Or maybe everyone is just holding their tongues?

elliebean14 · January 2014

@Momstheword83 - Spicy sweet chili Doritos are the best.

I have one this week, but maybe it's a UO instead. I think overly gendered things for babies and little kids, like NB sized onesies for boys that say "tough like daddy" or "lock up your daughters" are awful. My newborn is not tough and there is no need to sexualize a child...that is just ridiculous. I guess the confession part would be that I roll my eyes at the people who find these things cute.

Realizing that I won't sleep for more than a four hour stretch for at least a year is depressing.

@ BoogieMonster629 - I actually wanted to call out a poster on something she posted this week but didn't have the heart to cause she took a bit of a virtual call out last week.

Donniesgrrl · January 2014

Part Bitch/Part FFFC:

My DD's Birthday party is tomorrow and I am very much looking forward to it, Mostly because she is so stinking excited and keeps asking how many sleeps, and I know she is going to have a blast, and also because they day after the party we are dropping the Bomb on my Crazy mother and my Step dad that we are moving 2 hours away in 3 weeks, and will no longer be renting the slum they call a house from them. we wanted to wait until after her party so it was not ruined for her.

We have paid over 20,000 in rent to them and not a single penny has gone back into the house to make it more livable, it drafts so bad that our heat is constantly running so our gas bill is astronomical, has no insulation, and we have had one problem after another. Not to mention we have put more than 5 grand of our own money into it, replaced the furnace, part of the roof, had a mold clean up, and replaced the floors in the basement after a pipe burst and flooded our sunken living room to at least try and make it a little better. None of this was ever required of us, nor do we have a rental agreement, but when we approached my SD about the issues he said it was not his problem (asshole).

Funny though their house has been completely redone and remodeled in the time we have lived in this one, and I know our rent money has paid for it.

We are going to report him as renting an unlicensed/unsafe property on the advice of my Dad and Step mom and possibly take him to court to recoup some of the money we have put into the house due to all of the issues we have had. We have Tons of written/verbal proof (emails, voicemails, etc) of the verbal agreement between us for him to assume responsibility of all repairs in and around the house, as well as a breakdown of utility costs for the past 10 years, which we have figured was severely underestimated, and we were duped. He told us about $400 a month our utilities have never been below $700 in the summer and $900 to $1000 in the summer.

I am excited to tell them because of the shit storm it is going to cause, I know it sounds strange, but I am hoping it will keep them away from us for a little bit so I don't have to deal with the crazy so close to my due date or worry about her coming to the hospital, also because as much as I am stressed about moving and the fact that there are a million things to do still, I can not wait to start this chapter of our lives. It's gonna be weird living with my in laws for awhile but it is our reset button, it will allow us the freedom to pay off the rest of our debt, get a good nest egg going and be with family who have been so supportive and helpful to us.

So while I am terrified of all the changes coming in the next few weeks, new jobs for both of us, new town, etc. I know it will all work out and be the best in the long run, just as long as we can keep this baby cooking until after we are done moving LOL

ceh789 · January 2014

So I think I've mentioned on here our issues with my mom's dog - he bites people. 6 bites in the past year. I've been trying to help her get help, manage the situation and/or accept that he needed to be put down for at least a year now, really more like 2-3 years. Anyhow, Wed night she called and said she was ready to have him euthanized and would I take him because she couldn't do it (emotionally, couldn't be the one to bring him). I jumped in the car, drove out to her house and spent the night to keep her from changing her mind, brought him in first thing yesterday and got it done, then spent the day yesterday reassuring her that she made the right decision and had done everything possible first etc etc.

I have several related confessions.

1). I love dogs, but I don't feel sad about this dog that I've known as part of my family for over 10 years, I just feel relieved that it's over. I am so emotionally exhausted from the ordeal of trying to get my mother to face reality, getting accused of wanting to "kill her dog", taking PTO to go with them to the vet or behaviorist etc. I just am completely tapped out of energy for this issue that I can't find it in me to grieve this poor animal.

2) I don't think my mother did everything she could have, and I think she is directly responsible for his poor behavior and ultimately for him being put down. She created the problem by spoiling this dog rotten and giving him NO training to speak of ever (he was never even properly housebroken FFS) then she threw money at the aggression problem by bringing in behaviorists and trainers and putting him on medication but spent absolutely no time at all on the in-home exercises they supposedly were working on, and she lied to the trainers and vets about it. She also refused to confine him from children and visitors.

3) If she ever tries to adopt another animal I'll call the breeder and convince them not to let her do it. If she succeeds anyway I will steal it if I have to and find it a proper home.

I agree with that mostly. I hate anything that says the boy is handsome or going to get all the ladies. But I'm really loving the tough boy ones right now. My little boy is tough - we call him our tough guy, but that has to do with his medical issues. So of course he has a couple outfits that call him that.

AngelaPlus3 · January 2014

My baby shower is this evening and i just want to spend the day picking out an outfit and getting baby stuff organized and basically have a day to myself so I called in to work. I don't feel bad about it at all.

I'm kinda over holding my tongue. I like a lot of people on here. I really do. But sometimes I just keep my mouth shut and don't even bother because the people who say the things that make me feel this way I either don't know who they are, or I really don't even want to waste my time acknowledging they are apart of our BMB.

I don't think any doctor will let an insulin dependent diabetic go past 39 weeks. Definitely sounds like the norm to me.

That's a good point. I can agree that "tough guy" things for a little fighter like your baby boy are pretty cute. It would be great if there were similar "tough girl" things for baby girls who overcome medical issues, too!

And if it makes you feel better @legallyginger - my doctor is not induction happy, my baby is measuring way behind and tiny, and needs to stay in the womb as absolutely long as possible for lung development for his heart condition, and they are inducing me in the 39th week. Similar to you (though for different reasons), there is too high a risk of the placenta breaking down after 40 weeks. Gotta do what you gotta do!

ceh789 · January 2014

@legallyginger initially, I thought my practice must be induction happy too when they told me I couldn't go past 39 weeks with chronic hypertension even if it is controlled with medication. Since then I've done some independent research on the question and ended up asking why we couldn't induce at 38 weeks instead

I'd look into it if I were you - the statistics on fetal mortality between 38-40 weeks for chronic HTN people were a real wake up call to me, and I believe insulin dependent diabetics face similar risks.

That's good to know. My OB is a little (okay a lot) flaky and didn't take the time to explain things to me. I am terrible at thinking of what questions to ask.

babylimas · January 2014

Oooh, I have a good one. I really hope people post mucus plug pictures. It absolutely cracks me up.

aesmom · January 2014

I looked up natural induction techniques. The thought of 9ish more weeks was killing me.

angelsnight · January 2014

I seriously feel like crying right now...or banging my head into the wall. I've been doing this job since May (though with the company for almost 8 years). Training was difficult because my trainer is Asian and speak very broken English. I know speaking a language that isn't your first must be difficult, but it's like she doesn't even try to pronounce things, she'll just start the word and mutter the rest of it. It makes learning a new job very very difficult when you're not even being told the correct words and information.

Anyway, it was a rough month or so, but I got it down and everything has been mostly fine. I do it all on my own with an occasional question here and there. But right now I'm learning something new that is only done this time of year. She barely knows how to do it, so she's trying to train me and it's a nightmare. The job procedures are terrible and I literally have no clue what I am doing. I really dread having to do this on my own next year.

ewallace00 · January 2014

I couldn't care less about losing the baby weight relatively quickly. We are walking miracles! Why the hell are some women so obsessed with this? Is it pressure from their SOs, or other insecurities? Just can't comprehend.

novelblessings · January 2014

A while ago when we were discussing when I wanted to have my shower my MIL said she needed to plan it around her Florida trip that she takes every February. I made the statement that you never know, she may come early. MIL then said "you don't plan on going early, do you?", as if I am able to plan on when I have her. She still planned her trip anyways. Although, I don't want LO to come before she is ready I secretly hope she comes while my MIL is in Florida so I can say told you so.

Well this scares the crap outta me. I just started insulin this week and have my 1st appt with the OB on 2/3 (had been seeing MW's til they put me on insulin, then they told me once that happened MW for me is no more). I really really really DON'T want to be induced. This sucks.

AshleyO925 · January 2014

I already ate a brownie today and then a student's mom came in and brought me a chocolate milkshake which I am devouring as we speak. I will fail to mention this to my husband today since he brought me to get a frostie from Wendy's last night too.

Yeah I wasn't aware until a month or so ago. I guess my confession is I am not bummed about being induced. I like knowing when my last day of work will be (assuming she doesn't come earlier on her own), I like knowing MH and I can have a last date night the weekend before just the two of us, and driving to the hospital calm and collected (mostly) rather than in pain and scared.

I've already done the "rush to the hospital in the middle of the night" in labor thing and I'm looking forward to it being different this time. I am a little worried about the actual induction, but at the same time I've just been pushing it out of my head and saying, "it will be fine" (ignorance is bliss).

I completely agree on being over GD though. I'm sick of it....I'm sick of being worried about my bloodsugar and how it's affecting LO, I'm sick of packing meals and snacks everyday, I'm sick of poking my finger 4 times a day, I'm sick of constantly getting my rx's filled because nothing ever runs out at the same time...it's syringes this week, test strips the next, etc. I know some people deal with it their whole lives, and I do plan to get healthier and lose weight after the baby comes so I can hopefully avoid type II, but at least then when my actions don't affect my baby, I feel like there could be a little more wiggle room in my diet for a cheat here and there than what there is right now.

twinlove314 · January 2014

One of my friends posted a picture of her 29 week bump. I'm a little jealous of her much smaller bump. This twin bump is HUGE and heavy!
