I am obsessively stalking my registry, even though my shower isn't for another month...

It's so fun! My first shower is next weekend (my in-laws side is planning something separate for April too) and there are only a few things purchased, but it is so fun to see what people picked. (Mostly it's the fun, unnecessary things, yay!)

My FFC is that I'm totes excited for the 50 Shades of Grey movie. We all know the writing in the book was terrible and she's another weak sauce female lead BUT I love the casting and I'm excited to see the story through someone else's writing lol.

I would have been first in line when Charlie Hunnam was playing Christian. Once he dropped out I stopped caring.

@N0nSequitur have we met? I think this FFFC is hilarious!

Why can't I figure out how to properly reply to a specific reply within a thread? Seriously, what am I doing wrong!?

FFFC: I've had 4 people in 24 hours tell me how small I am. I think they think they're being kind, but it really worries me that so many people are saying it. I'm measuring 2 weeks behind and have been since I was 28 weeks (now coming up to 32). I don't think people realise that telling someone they're really small can be just as damaging as telling them how big they are. It makes you feel like you're doing it wrong.

This is me. I get it on almost a daily basis.

Also kissing is overrated.

I'm fighting the urge to passive-aggressively message the people (ok, my friends) that never bothered to RSVP to my shower. Not because they're not coming, but because it makes me irrationally annoyed that people don't have the courtesy to take 10 damn seconds to respond to an invitation and let the host know whether they need to add to the headcount or not.

Roufi · March 2014

There was a fire at my FIL's house yesterday and it caused a lot of damage. Both he and his dog are fine, and they will be staying at our house until his is habitable again - this could be a month, we don't really know yet.

While it's obviously a no-brainer that he can and should stay with us as long as he needs to, my FFFC is that I have no idea how I am going to adjust to sharing space with him (and his excitable jack russell) for an indefinate period of time. And I am feeling (ridiculously, I know) sad/stressed that since he is in the baby's room, we won't be able to do anything more in there until nearly the end of my pregnancy.

I love my FIL and am doing everything I can to help him feel comfortable and ease his pain about the fire, but today I'm tired, my throat hurts from smoke and so I'm feeling a little sorry for myself.

awc1986 · March 2014

@Roufi - so sorry that you and you family are going through this. It's really good of you to take him in, especially at a time when you need your personal space.

We may have met before, in another life. You see, I was only born a few days ago and my master keeps me on a short leash.

But I know you. I walked with you once upon a dream.

I totally get it. It has nothing to do with your FIL and helping out, it's just you had plans and had things set how they were going to be and now there is a disruption to that. Especially when it comes to prepping for baby, little disruptions can lead to big stress!

This. Several people who RSVPed that they would be attending my wedding did not come. Considering each head cost a couple hundred buck, it was pretty annoying. One couple didn't come because the husband had gotten laid off that week - ok, very unfortunate, of course I understand you can't make it - but tell me you're not coming! Annoying.

oscarwao · March 2014

My FFFC is that if you can't write thank-you notes for gifts from a formal event (bridal shower, baby shower, etc) then I think you're kind of a dick.

DD had a banana and Popsicle for breakfast. She's been super finicky about eating lately. She's in this "I said I'm not hungry" phase. Eta: I have no idea why "Popsicle" is capitalized, but auto-correct won't let me undo it.
We are constantly fighting the food battle, I totally get feeding her whatever she wants. Sometimes that doesn't even work.

This ties into my FFFC. I got irrationally mad at DS last night for not eating the chicken noodle soup I made. I even tried to pull out just the noodles, chicken and carrots since he eats all of those things, but apparently he didn't like the idea and wouldn't even try it. I can't stand the food battles and the fact that I have a picky eater. It makes me feel like a bad mom when I see other kids eating everything.

Same!

My FFFC - I think Pirate's Booty is gross.

Also, Dr. mentioned taking LO out early because I may need to go on insulin at night. I hate the complications that GD could be causing, but I really like the idea of scheduling and knowing the exact day that LO will make her grand entrance.

@jennish I'm sorry about your loss. T&p with your family. And kudos for not smacking your mom.

ErikaLynn75 · March 2014

FFFC: I don't dislike Taylor Swift. In fact... *deep breath* I kind of like her. Her songs are catchy, and she just keeps turning out hits. Even if you hate her music, you have to admit she's good at what she does. And I find myself singing along every time I hear her on the radio. Especially "we are never ever ever getting back together." I want to hate it, but if I'm being honest, I just don't!

Plus, if I had a young daughter, I would much rather she had Taylor Swift as a "role model" than any other young woman in Hollywood.

I F'ing love Taylor Swift. I get made fun of by my friends for it. But I don't care! She is awesome

SERIOUSLY. I think the exact same thing. My mom has always told me, you don't give a gift expecting a thank you, but I can't help but be annoyed when I believe for these types of events you SHOULD write a thank you card.

I even do it for my birthday and I force my husband to do it for his. He doesn't get it, but I make him do it anyway.

lindseylu10 · March 2014

I just found out today that my brother and SIL's 4th try at IVF failed, betas came back today and it's not good. I am so devastated for them and I just can not comprehend how SO MANY shitballs are blessed with children they do not want/won't take care of and a loving couple has to endure all of this. Ugh my FFFC is that life is so unfair and I don't get it!

Last Thursday around 1:30 in the morning, my mom called me. The nursing home my papaw is in called local family to tell them that he wasn't going to make it through morning. Fast forward to Monday. He passed on.

My confession is my papaw's going home has made me realize how much I hate my mom right now. If you were to look at my mother's Facebook page, you could document every twist of his last days on earth, complete with pictures of him and my Mamaw saying goodbye to each other. Now that he is gone, she is being an AW. Yes, I know, your daddy died, but you went to see him maybe twice a month. Des saw and talked to him every damn day. My sister, that moved into my grandparents' house 18 years ago, who was raised by that man and his wife, has dealt with everything. Everything. All while my mother just sits. And face books.

So flame on. I know I won't have her forever, she will go just like papaw. But right now, I hate my mom.

I'm so sorry for your loss. As far as your feelings about your mom, I can relate. I wouldn't say I hate my mom because of it but I definitely hate things that she does/says on Facebook.

I don't understand the need to share every little thing. Especially private family things. Last week we got into an argument over something really stupid. She immediately went onto Facebook to make a vague post about me. She's also a huge shit talker so there's that.

Thanks ladies, that's exactly it. I'm sure it'll be fine once we get into a routine, and the smoke smell dissipates (once his clothes and belongings are cleaned). Just needed that pick me up to feel less guilty about feeling this way.

(Also sorry if the quotes are wacky, never tried quoting two at once before. (That's what she said)).

Maybe it thinks it's a proper noun...as in Mrs. Popsicle!

This. This drives me insane! ESP after planning my wedding knowing how important it is.

I took Beb with me to the bagel store this morning. I ordered 2 bagels and acted like one was for her. It wasn't, it was for me. She'd already had a waffle. I just really want 2 bagels.

lauralou3x3 · March 2014

I used to work full time before my DH and I moved to his home state. Since then, I haven't been able to find a job. I quit looking early on in my pregnancy since I knew I was going to be a SAHM for awhile.

Well my FFFC, I sometimes lie/exaggerate to my husband about what I do all day when he's at work. I've always been one that had to be doing something. Well the third trimester is draining me and sometimes I just sit around all day. I feel guilty about it but I know that I won't ever have this time to do it again.

He wouldn't care even if he knew I did this. But I don't like feeling like a lazy bum.

LUCKY22 · March 2014

My DS and I just got home from Costco where we were sitting in the dining area and noticed a little girl, probably 18 months old, wandering around with not a single glance from her mom. Her mom was too busy chatting with her girlfriend, with her back turned to notice that in probably the 7-10 minutes I was watching her several people stoppped out of confusion about who this little girl was and why she was alone. At one point, a male customer picked her up and took her over to the front desk to try to find out who she belonged too. Mind you, I was watching very carefully and ready to intervene if needed for the girl's safely.

My FFFC is that I let it go on, rather than tell her mom, because I wanted her mom to feel like shit for leaving her very young daughter so unatteneded for what seemed like FOREVER! The employees finally figured out who the mom was, brouht her to the mom and the mom was like, "where were you?" Not all that concerned and went right back to chatting it up with her girlfriend. Thank God, it was someone with good intentions that picked her up...that could have gone quite differently if good people were not involved.

Helmink0804 · March 2014

I haven't had coffee my whole pregnancy and finally broke down and had a chocolate covered strawberry frappe from Mcdonalds. It was amazingly delicious!!

@BabyBarlow2014 @LeeLee86 Thanks ladies. It sucks, terribly. I just don't understand especially since we have been friends for over 10 years. There has been no explanation given, she hasn't even told me to give it up or anything. It might actually make me feel better if she did than to hear nothing at all. I know her shower is coming up next weekend and well.. That blows. I thought about dropping a gift off at her door, but that may just be pushing it now. Ughhh...

MK1013 I know this might sound crazy but is it possible she is mad that you two are pregnant at the same time? I know it sounds crazy but it happens.

@N0nsequitur was it a long walk, short pier kind of walk or something else?

Just curious!
