FFFC - I purposely haven't told my family or my SO family I am being induced on a certain date to avoid all conflict about the L&D room. I know they will ask to be there, and will be butt hurt when I tell them NO!
FFFC #2 - I had Oreos, Milk, and a cupcake for breakfast. I am not ashamed. I have 10 days left of this pregnancy, and I will sure as hell enjoy it while I can!
We had a mouse in our garage( boys left the door open in this extreme cold) and my crazy self was convinced that if we didn't get it out it would some how make its way into the house.
I threatened to divorce my DH beause he refused to get it out. I ended up trapping it (it was a deer mouse per google) and sanitizing everything in the garage. And now I hurt/ache from over doing it.
I'm also convinced I'm going to catch something from the damn thing cuz I spent touch time on google!
The idea that this kid will be born naked was, to me, shocking new information. I realized she's not wearing pants while swimming around down there. And would be naked in the delivery room. Yeah, this isn't my first kid.
@NoelMarieFrey I ate two (rather large) brownies, and I'm fixing to make cupcakes now. Also, I'm scheming of ways For DH to bring me a shamrock shake.
@1linedrawing close your eyes. I haven't looked in weeks. If there's an issue, they can bring it to my attention.
FFFC: I've never started a discussion on TB. I enjoy commenting/reading, but I've never started a thread. I've never had something I thought was brand-new thread worthy. Now I feel like if I did want to start a thread, it would be weird and maybe people would think I'm a drive-by.
Bad mom confession: I may have reached the exhaustion breaking point when DH asked why poor LO was crying last night and I responded "I don't fucking know!" So classy to swear around your helpless infant. Sorry Charlie, mommy will do better today.
Good (?) mom confession: I may have been the mom who overdid the preschool valentines. Oops.
My mom was convinced she knew the name. One night she says I'm going to whisper baby's name don't tell me if I'm right or wrong just know I know. She was right. Makes me a liitle mad it won't be a big surprise to her when he arrives next week.
Every time LO squawks I think he's hungry. DH keeps making fun of me.
I will cry today later either because DH won't quit making fun of me, or out of fear of having a mordibly obese baby because I always think he needs food.
@katybriggs this is my second and I still shove a boob in her face if she squeaks for longer than 2 minutes. Couldn't figure out why my sleep was so crappy the other night until I looks at the clock and realized she had eaten just 30 minutes earlier and really only needed a new diaper...oops?
Mine? DH is off until the 22nd, I've totally been taking advantage of him cleaning the house. Baby came a little earlier than I expected and in the middle of my shifts so I didn't get to "finish" my nesting. I'll gladly take this time to snuggle my girls while his boredom keeps the house clean
I don't use those wipes anymore before leaving a urine sample.
Once they had wipes out that had alcohol and it burned my lady bits to hell and back. Not sure if it affects the sample, but after that hell idc!!
I also got sent to L&D today after my weekly check up. FH is still behind and I didn't grow at all since last week. Doing a growth scan and NST. I'm scared SHITLESS about possibly being induced today.
My fundal height is always behind at the end--it might not be anything to worry about. I was measuring 2 weeks behind at my 39 week appt, and I've been getting weekly NSTs and AFIs--baby girl is measuring fine.
DD1 has another snow day today (2 in a row) and she was so bummed it was supposed to be her valentines day party. So, I said I'd take them to an indoor playground. But, I don't really want to, and am procrastinating by laying in bed willing my water to break. Bad mommy.
My midwives don't do cervical checks. I was supposed to have an appointment yesterday but it was rescheduled to today due to snow, and it ended up being with one of the OBs in the group.
I'm sitting in the exam room with my pants off right now. I didn't prep for an exam at all. No extra cleaning or shaving. I did shower last night, but still... Sorry doc. Wasn't expecting a check.
I had a natural birth and while mine was irregularly long, I don't know if I could ever do it again, unless I'm brain washed of the pain. The experience was by far worth it but the pain is no joke!

I did this, too, a couple weeks ago and this is my 2nd kid. Maybe it's because, this time, it's a boy and I don't have a lot of experience with newborn boys.
we brought our kitten to the cat cardiologist (mentioned earlier this week she has a heart murmur) and she didn't do well with the sedation, got sick everywhere, and the dr told us to go home and pick her up later so they could monitor her. I told DH to take my car to school today since it was already cleared off from the snow and not even 15 mins later, the dr was like you can come get her! now she has to stay there until after 2 because 98 weeks pregnant and can't clean off DH's tall truck.
now I'm in a horrible mood. ugly crying because of my cat, mad at DH for taking my car and not getting me a Valentine's Day card (seriously, though? I don't even care about this holiday.), so I'm letting the dog on the couch because I'm over everything. he's cute and cuddles so ha-ha DH, I make the rules. (

I'm fairly sure you can't over-feed a newborn. They'll refuse if they're not hungry! (Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. Sometimes DS won't finish his bottle and it seems like he just wasn't as hungry then. Sometimes he guzzles it down.)

My pediatrician told me you can.. I asked this question on Wednesday. You can tell because they will spit up the majority of it. I accidentally over fed him yesterday and my carpet payed the price.

You will forget, TRUST me!
Yep, I forgot quick enough to do it again 17 months later. For me at least, the
pain is totally worth feeling amazing afterward.

Right, but baby won't become obese, he will just spit up what he doesn't need. So I think that's what the PPs meant.

On Facebook today, my one friend (the same one that returned my breast pump with the pieces covered in dried breast milk) was bragging that her fiancé got her diamond earrings for Valentines Day. He doesn't work, she works a retail job, they have three kids between them and she is barely above the income requirement for state assistance, meaning that she often doesn't have money to cover her bills.. I'm seriously considering informing her that they're both jackasses.
I took DS1 & DS2 on a "Valentine's Date" today to a fun inside kids museum and an old fashioned ice cream parlor for lunch/dessert. DS2 needed to nurse during lunch and so I pulled out my cover and fed him (BF baby). There was a couple in there that kept looking our way and the wife was clearly put out... If they said ONE negative word to me about BFing my child I was going to say this....
"Under this cover I am nursing my child... if you think THAT is bad... under my jeans it looks like a murder scene from giving birth two weeks ago. If I can walk around with ALL THAT going on in my pants, I am not ashamed of what is going on under the cover!"
@dreamingbabies I felt the exact same way with my first. I lasted throughout my maternity leave and even tried pumping at work, but I felt like a perv and stopped. I was more than ready to switch to formula and bottles. Her tummy handled it better too. Props to you for continuing, but don't feel bad if you are ready to quit.
I do not enjoy breastfeeding. The whole thing is uncomfortable and weirds me out.
FTM here and still waiting on LO, but expecting to feel the same way. I'm gonna give it a try and have my supplies/breast pump all ready to go... But I'm already planning on hating it for various reasons. I hope I'm wrong and just trying to not set myself up for failure.
FFFC: I won't let my docs check me because I'm afraid I'll either have false hopes of going into labor or crushed dreams of ever having this baby come out and I'll cave to an induction next week.
I don't use those wipes anymore before leaving a urine sample.
Once they had wipes out that had alcohol and it burned my lady bits to hell and back. Not sure if it affects the sample, but after that hell idc!!
I also got sent to L&D today after my weekly check up. FH is still behind and I didn't grow at all since last week. Doing a growth scan and NST. I'm scared SHITLESS about possibly being induced today.
Ditto on the wipes!! plus I barely have enough room to get the cup down there to get the sample! My Dr's office really needs bigger toilets I guess?!
Hope you get the news you are wanting today re: induction!
Since my husband and I got married 8 years ago, the deal was if I cook/he cleans up and vice versa.
Well, for the last few months he's only been half-way cleaning up. Sure, he puts the dishes in the dishwasher, but he doesn't wipe down the countertops or the stove. Plus, he loads the dishwasher up as full as possible, so half the time when we unload it, there's still dirty dishes.
I've mentioned to it to him before that 'cleaning up' also entails wiping countertops, etc., yet he continues to do it. I know I should be thankful that he does that much, but right now I just want to rip his head off everytime I go in there after he has 'cleaned up' and it's still not all the way done!! grrr... okay rant over. Maybe that was more of a rant than an FFFC I guess??

Maybe you should half-ass his dinners...and serve them to him on the dirty plates. He might get the point then.
MIL finally left after a long visit, and while I love her and she's not awful, I was getting tired of her baby-hogging. Now LO's pajamas smell like MIL's perfume and I'm irrationally wanting to change her clothes.
I've enjoyed showing off baby, but the company can stop any day now. @-)
I cannot stand it when my baby smells like other people! My SiL has some terrible perfume and I had to give LO a bath after she left our house. Yuck!
Bad mom confession...I was holding LO and snuggling with the cat next to me. As I was talking to our cat I felt the urge to sneeze so I turned my head so I wouldn't sneeze on him...well I ended up sneezing on my baby. The look she gave me was priceless...but I feel awful.

I'm really bored with F14. The entire board is birth announcements or threads that don't pertain to me yet (because inside baby).
I'm really happy for everyone, but boring. And repetitive.
I like reading all of the birth stories from the regulars but secretly hope no one comments on the drive-by's. I miss a lot of the reg's though because they're busy with their LO's and lately, this board has been boring. come back everyone, us 85 week preggo's miss you!
Re: FFFC
He wouldn't kiss me because he has the flu.
I am totally rational.

Lol, luckily for them they didn't say anything...
