FFFC

We can't promise absolution.

I still want to know what @goodgalpalthought was wrong with my kids outfit in my old siggy.

I'm going to drink all 12oz. of my Wegman's coffee and not care how much caffeine it contains.

We went to our baby care basics class last night and I started feeling kinda dizzy and nauseous when they were talking about taking care of the cord stump. Then I almost passed out. How am I going to make it through childbirth class??

DH has a man cold and I asked him to sleep in the guess room last night. Not because of the cold but because I wanted the whole bed to myself.

RachelCA29 · February 2014

I know people are tired of "healthy weight" posts, but this is more specific to me and it's been on my mind. I feel FFFC is a good place to get this off my chest.

So I never really participate in the discussion about "how much weight have you gained" on the May board, because everyone is different and what I gain has nothing to do with what you gain, etc. I also don't participate because I was never that worried about it. I don't have a perfect body, but I was very happy with my pre-pregnancy body.

The idea of gaining the weight I needed to during my pregnancy was not scary to me, but it did take time to get myself to the head space of having a different body, during and after my pregnancy. I haven't worried about it much (shape or number-wise) since I started showing and putting on the pounds around 19/20 weeks.

Well, I had my 30 week appointment yesterday and I was really surprised when I weighted myself and I am only 3 pounds away from what I thought my "maximum" pregnancy weight would be. And this baby has at least 3-5 pounds to gain still, so ... I know I will be going over my "comfort zone" number in the next 10 weeks.

And now I'm kind of bummed about it. Not the weight now, but I'm already starting to worry about loosing it afterwards. I never thought I would feel like this about baby weight; it's a requirement of making a human. But I guess however "okay" I thought I felt, since I know I'm going over my comfort zone number all that "worry free" side of me is gone. I'm sure I'll get over it in the next week or two, but this just happened yesterday and I needed to confess my dirty, lack-of-confidence secret.

I don't feel guilty about the stack of tax returns I still need to do.....

but I do feel guilty that I haven't had enough time to follow everything on TB.

It makes me feel out of the loop

getitdone · February 2014

I am dreading my baby showers! 1) I have 3 of them (no joke!) 2) I hate being the center of attention 3) I don't usually enjoy baby showers in general. I appreciate that people want to have them and that people want (or feel obligated) to come but I will be happy when they are over.

kat8805 · February 2014

I'm amused at watching Ms Kitty move around as awkwardly as I do now that we're both past the halfway mark. I find it hilarious how this usually thin cat now has a belly to contend with and she's having a hard time getting around like she used to. I know, its awful of me. Sorrynotsorry.

Also, I'm cheating on you hoars with Parenting. I feel no shame!

Because I love to type in the quote box:

Me too! I didn't want one to begin with, but now I am having one and there are more people than I want and too many questions. If I must have one, I would rather the hostess just pick everything and let me show up

CamrynnsMommy · February 2014

I'm kinda pissed that @kat8805 is cheating. You still like us better, right? Tell me you still love us, damn it!

IBackBevo · February 2014

When I rent DVD'S, I return them without rewinding them.

Of course I lurve you bitches more! I picture us all over there at some point though, so why not start shackin up now?

reneewhite90 · February 2014

I didn't open a single present at my wedding shower for DHs side. My bridesmaids and DH had to open them all. As soon as I stood in front of everyone, I began having one of the biggest panic attacks I've ever experienced and had to be "escorted" out. Every time I would somewhat calm down and get close to the door to go back in it would start all over again. Everyone gave up. I sat outside of the room and hid when everyone left because I was so embarrassed.

I'm a fvcking pro at writing thank you/apology notes thankfully.

I do that on a regular basis and don't bother to offer any explanation other than "I need my sleep". Our dog usually sleeps with us, two nights ago I kicked out my husband but let the dog stay in bed with me. We were out of space and the dog was fast asleep, it was easier to get my husband to move.

Someone needs to change the password on my zulily account. And PayPal account. I have no self control at buying baby stuff lately (mostly for DD).

lindseylu10 · February 2014

I text my hubby every time I'm actually able to poop, it's out of sheer pride and joy in the accomplishment. I think he's too scared to ask me to stop.

I think when people post T&P requests for random people they know through a cousin's friend's boss or through their HS BFF's sister's hometown it almost always comes off as AWish. Yeah that really sucks that something bad happened to that person. Why AW it up on the internet when it's not your story to tell? It's clearly not about awareness or advocacy, it's just "hey this shitty thing happened! thought you'd want to know!" Or that's how it feels to me sometimes.

I do this too, or I announce proudly as as I exit the bathroom. DH always looks slightly amused. I need that "I pooped today!" tee shirt!

JessElam · February 2014

Mu husband is unemployed at the moment and hasn't been able to sleep at night so instead of trying he stays up until 3 or 4 in the morning playing damn video games. Well I work from home but still have to be up bright and early at 8:00 or so to start work. I have also been working from bed rather than my desk that way I can keep my feet propped up. I am slightly annoyed that he is still asleep so I've been extra loud and obnoxious so he will get his ass up and I don't feel slightly bad about it. I've got work to do bro! Get yo ass up!

*trapped in quote box*********************************************************

That annoys me so much. Along similar lines, I find it even more annoying when someone gets AWish about a tragedy/loss they were not close to in the first place . I lost a close friend in high school, and I remember many teenagers who were (at best) mild acquaintances with him carrying on very dramatically (IMO) following the tragedy. I know everyone handles grief differently, but the way a lot of people conducted themselves seemed as if they were trying to direct attention toward their grieving-selves, and I found it borderline disrespectful.

This morning I shook my belly like a bowl full of jelly.

I didn't really, I just wanted to say that.

Pooping is a huge accomplishment around here anymore. I've had 2 great poops 2 days in a row and am pretty excited about it. I don't remember the last time that has happened.

I was the same way with DD1. I had this expected range that I thought I'd hit and I made it to that point well before the end. Was I still healthy? Yes. In fact, the surgeon for my c/s said there was barely any fat on me, but that doesn't make those numbers on the scale any smaller, ya know? I had a ton of extra fluid. But in my head, certain numbers were just way over my comfort zone, mentally.

And even after going through it once already, I still hate seeing the nurse slide those weights further and further to the right every time I get weighed. So you're not alone!

oscarwao · February 2014

My FFFC is that I can't stop reading the newborn questions thread on Feb 14. I keep checking that thread with embarrassing frequency.

Also, I refuse to look at the scale at the OB's office. I look up at the ceiling and ask them just to tell me if I'm going too fast. Ignorance is bliss and I love living in sweet sweet denial.

keeumm · February 2014

I have reached level 519 in Candy Crush. Lots of doctor's appointments this summer for IVF means lots of waiting rooms to perfect my crushing skills.

No shame.

I can't get past 165 and I've pretty much quit because of it.

Ladiebug30 · February 2014

I've never played candy crush but I get lots of invites.

The kid's preschool wants toilet paper tubes for art projects.

I sent four in two days.

Pregnant lady has to pee.

Whenever I come out of the bathroom, DH asks "How'd it go?" haha

At my OB's office the scale is in the private washroom and before each appointment they ask you to go pee on a protein/sugar test strip and weigh yourself (so it's very private) and then report it to the nurse at the beginning of the appointment. No avoiding the number ...

lv2011 · February 2014

I'm losing my voice (thanks, cold) and DH made some stupid crack about life getting better since he doesn't have to listen to me whine. I may have called him a slew of nasty things in my newly garbled voice, including: shmucky-pants, dickwad, buttfink, and cocksludge (we tend to make up strange pseudo insults), and then I ate all his doughnuts.

I still don't feel bad about it, either.

Noooooooooo! Asking a pregnant woman to weigh herself - that is cruel and unusual punishment! I think that scale should only read "You're good, girl!" every time you step on it!

awc1986 · February 2014

My FFFC is kinda personal. I have a real hangup about the fact that my mum was a lot more beautiful than I am. She had an amazing bone structure, whereas I have my dad's round face. She hardly wore makeup and I wear a full face every day because otherwise people ask me if i'm ok. She was slimmer than me at my age and infinitely cooler than i'll ever be. I'm pretty much jealous of her. She was the most incredible mum though and i'd give absolutely anything to have her back.

sopsongbird · February 2014

So, totally failed my 3-hour on Wednesday. I've had a sugar sensitivity this whole pregnancy, so the drink didn't help. I am the one that knows it's not my fault, that there is nothing that I could do to prevent this, yada yada yada. Other people think I'm crazy for "taking this so well."

They don't know that now I'm afraid to eat...

Bought a big gulp of Mountain Dew Code Red. Don't care.

I block people / " fb friends" after they send me requests to play games on fb like Candy Crush or Farmville or whatever the latest is... I have a zero tolerance policy with it.

And "hoars" is spelled "whores".... I can't help myself from correcting spelling and grammar mistakes.

I somehow pulled a muscle in my stomach wiping. How? I'll never know....

I'm thinking that "spelling mistake" was made on purpose...
