Last night I chewed and spit a chocolate chip cookie. I don't know whether to be proud or ashamed. Like, "yea, willpower!" Or "WTF, the 'beetus is giving me an eating disorder."

Despite my best efforts, I can't find one good Wilford Brimley gif for this. GIF FAIL!!!!!

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

You must be daft to think that wasn't on purpose. But just for you ;;)

I don't block people, but I have a long list of games and apps that I blocked so I don't have to care that several of DH's aunts are way into fb games.

My confessions: 1) I still have trouble knowing if something counts as an opinion or a confession.

2) There are a lot of things that I consider a waste of time and/or money. (This is just for me, not a sweeping opinion that I think everyone should share, so I'm pretty sure it's a confession.) The list of things includes makeup, hair products and appliances, any manicure/pedicure activity, organic/natural food, cable, and *puts on the flame-proof suit* pets.

Couple of confessions today.

1) My doc finally called about my 3hr test results. While I failed 2 numbers, it was just barely over the strictest cut off and under the usual cut off. So my doc told me to just be sensible about carbs and sugars. I feel like I won the lottery because I technically failed but I don't have to test my sugars or go on a specific diet. I just have to not get crazy with the Oreos. I can totally do that.

2) I am insanely excited about my baby shower. I was looking forward to a super small sensible affair with maybe some cake and a few presents since I'm on bed rest and the starting off thought was to keep it low key to limit my activity (bed resting). Instead of having 2 showers for my family and DHs family- DH got all the people who wanted to coordinate together (5) and told them to have fun. So each has been doing their favorite parts of baby shower planning independently and coordinating it all into a party which my SIL swears "only needs sky writing or a blimp".

Its grown into a 30+ person Jack and Jill with a dragon theme, a big fancy cake, and while I usually hate being the center of attention and big groups- I've been on bed rest for so long a huge party sounds absolutely delightful. They've even worked out an arrangement where I'll have my own laying out space and people assigned to bringing me everything I need so I don't have to get up. I am beside myself with excitement. Baby just needs to stay put for two and a half more weeks so I can really enjoy the party!

3) Its 1pm on a Friday afternoon and I'm dressed in a silk kimono robe, laid out on the couch with both of our cats snuggling my feet, watching CSI:NY while I crochet a pretty baby picture outfit to go with the coming home blanket I've already finished, and DH just brought me a package of Goldfish to enjoy snacking on. Usually bed rest is pretty sucky, but today I seem to be hitting all the best parts of it!

Envy me ladies, I'm having an awesome Friday.

I secretly love to make fun of the creepy alien looking baby photos people post on FB and in their siggies, which is why I swore I would never post newborn photos of DD. Of course, as soon as she was born, she was all over my FB!

danabsd · February 2014

WooHoo @ThereBeDragons, you deserve an awesome day!

Helmink0804 · February 2014

My dog just threw up his food, I think he ate too fast too much. I was too lazy to go down to the basement to wash the towels that I just threw them away.

ErikaLynn75 · February 2014

After yesterday's UO, my FFFC is that I don't care about germs.

I have hand sanitizer in my purse, but the only time I've ever used it is when I had to use a portapotty or there was no soap left in the bathroom or something.

I'm definitely a 5-second rule girl, even though I wear my shoes in the house and I never clean my kitchen floor.

And I probably don't wash my hands as often as I should. Pretty much only after going to the bathroom, and now that I pee every 10 minutes, I don't even wash my hands every time when I'm at home.

I rarely get sick.

I'm the exact same way. It's probably more of an UO, but I think its weird when new moms make others put hand sanitizer on before they're allowed to hold their baby. Flame away!

I agree. I understand about protecting the baby, but I think some people get too overprotective. You need to expose your child to some bacteria or their immune system will never build. Do kids not lick frozen lamp posts anymore?

Several days this week I've had 3 cans of soda in addition to the 40 oz of water.

My husband bought those mini-sized cans of coca-cola this week ... so easy to justify breaking my "one soda a week" pregnancy rule I gave myself, because they are so cute and little.

I'll admit it, I freaking love cola!

On the scale issue: at my appointment yesterday I couldn't even see my weight because my giant bump got in the way of the display.

My FFFC: After living in southern California for almost 5 years, I have become typically Californian and don't want to go anywhere when the weather is slightly bad. My Illinois friends would be ashamed of me.
Today it is raining and I don't want to leave my office, even for lunch. I just tried to convince my husband to bring me lunch, with no luck. I probably will wait until I am starving to go eat.

In my defense: Many Southern Californians seem to not know how to drive in the rain. Also the freeways are just not built for bad weather. There are 6 lanes, constant traffic, narrow lanes, poorly maintained, with hardly any shoulders to get off and sometimes flood with lots of rain. They are pretty dangerous. So I try to avoid driving as much as possible.

I'm a Cali native and I agree, rainy weather makes it so I don't want to drive anywhere. Fridays are out lunch day of the week, today I packed my lunch and called it a day. BUT YOU ladies and your mountain dew are making it so I want to go out and grab a soda. MUST resist! Also I agree Southern California drivers suck ass driving in the rain, its only drizzle OMG hit the brakes and go 20 miles slower that everyone else. BUT growing up here I'm used to it. My DH on the hand is from Denmark and I think he gets a throbbing vein in his forehead whenever he runs into situations like this.

I think the unjustified issue I have is that my BFF who I love dearly is hosting my baby shower and has costco pizza, chips, veggie and dips planned for the menu. She won't really let me help out, but I want to help out cause I don't want my baby shower to be a get together someone would have when watching a sporting event or board game night! Let me bring some apps or something!!!!

I tried to open our broom closet the other day and backed into the dryer and then got stuck between it and the door because my belly was in the way. My 2 year old had to help me wiggle out.

I went out on my back porch to get my dog inside last week and a collapsed box in the recycling pile fell over against the door ... a pre-pregnant me could have squeezed back inside, my bump-tastic me had to yell for my husbands help to unblock the door.

This is me exactly, but I clean my kitchen floor. You must never spill or not have pets!

I only made that comment about the floor and eating food off it because her logic made no sense.

When my sister was taking microbiology I told her to keep her findings to herself when she tested different objects that I use on a daily basis.

I can totally understand it during cold/flu season. But on a normal day, I think it's overkill. But if a new mom asked me to do it, I would totally respect her wishes.

I have a dog, but she doesn't shed and is generally pretty clean. And she licks up anything we drop on the floor. Plus our kitchen/dining room floors are a really dark brown/black marble pattern. ( I hate them, but we're waiting until we can afford a whole kitchen remodel instead of just doing the floors) So they might be filthy and I just can't see it. I'll take the swiffer wet jet to them when I think about it, but it's honestly only like once a month.

Mamazon2014 · February 2014

FFFC: I LOVE the movie Major Payne! It's one of those guilty pleasures that DH and I watch whenever it is on tv (which is pretty often). It's definitely one of my favorite WB movies aside from Don't Be a Menace.

Also, DH is bringing me home a giant Slurpee. It's negative degrees outside and I don't care!

My doctor's scale has a digital display on the wall right at eye-level. So it takes a lot of effort not to see the number.

But speaking of giant bumps getting in the way, I had an astonishingly hard time peeing in the cup last time I was there. I couldn't see it, and could not get the cup in the right place! I pissed all over my hand, and then totally panicked and stopped mid-pee. I was so scared I was going to have to walk out with an empty cup and then I was too nervous to pee any more. It was awful. I had to stand up, wash my hands, collect my thoughts, and then try to pee a second time. I got it that time.

Re: Shoes in the house. I avoid wearing shoes wherever it is even moderately socially acceptable to do so. I would go barefoot all the time if it were an option (weather permitting).

I used the pull out method as birth control for 3 years.

I am going to go eat wings at a place where they're free if you're drinking adult beverages. I will enjoy an O'douls (and pretend it is real beer) and eat all the free wings I want, while drinking water the rest of the night.

yah it's def not as fun but condoms and the pill suck.

It worked for us for 8 years. And we didn't get pregnant until we meant to.

I should add that we were ok with the idea of a "surprise" pregnancy at any time. But it has always been effective for us.

We used pull and pray (but didn't always pull) successfully for 2 years. We also would have been ok with an oops.

kat8805 · February 2014

Am I the only one who holds the pee cup up to my skin? They're just dipping a strip, not testing for drugs ladies. And some offices provide a wet wipe to sanitize the area before holding your cup there. Not peeing on my hand FTW.
