I know it's early, but I'm presuming there's some pregsomniacs on here at the moment.

FFFC: I just saw a car with a "mum to be on board" sign in the back. All I could think was "wow, you must be an epic AW".

FFFC: I'm interviewing for my replacement today. I'm so tempted to hire someone terrible, just so they appreciate me once I'm gone and make coming back in January a lot easier.

FFFC: I hate any kind of workplace socialising. I'm here to be paid, not to make friends. I'm pretty much my workplace's Ron Swanson.

I wish my mom or my siblings could get their shot together. Mom never helped the little ones grow up so they relay on her for everything which she loves but only when she wants it. Last night I spent the night in L&D again with preterm labor enough that I am on bed rest it's 7 am and my kid sister is calling in tears because she can't reach my mom and she has a bad eye infection. I am six hours and several states away why wake me up to ask me to communicate between the two of you?

I hate sex right now.

Jennyinheaven · March 2014

My DH and I resorted to sleeping separately probably for the duration of this pregnancy, I get up at 3:30 am for work, I get up a billion times to pee and apparently I now snore, not to mention the pile of pillows I now require. It is easier but I feel sorta weird about it like it is a marriage fail.

Since pregnant, I get semi-enraged whenever someone tailgates me, which has led me to say "I need one of those stupid 'baby on board signs' that says 'pregnant lady driving, back the fuck off.'' It's more protective instinct/anger management (for me) than AW-ish.

Oh I don't need to be pregnant to get mad at that.

I don't think those signs make people drive any better though, because everyone thinks they're the best driver anyway.

(BTW, just to clarify I wasn't driving up her ass. We were at lights)

When I pee at home, I pee alone. I have a toddler. When he cried about it, I still peed alone. When he learned how to use door handles, I started locking the door while I pee.

It seems like every time someone posts any kind of "this is your mom life" thing on facebook, it includes a nod to never being able to pee alone, which is why this seems like a confession. (I feel like there should be a rally with picketers: "Ladies, it doesn't have to be this way! Take back your bathroom!")

ETA I still need some work to get to pro level though: showering while my son is awake. I try sometimes, but can't relax unless he's out or someone else is here to keep an eye on him.

LeeLee86 · March 2014

My DH grandmother has to come stay with us bc his mom is going on vacation. I'm secretly annoyed bc both my showers have happened and all I want to do is finish the nursery and I can't bc she will be in there. She's 91 and can't be on her own so I feel so selfish but I'm only 1 month away and I just want everything done

Andalsoplus cranky and tired...((Pout))

DH and I have only had sex once in the past 8 months. It's awful but it's 100% because I'm not into it. The worst part is, now that we're getting towards the end, I know we'll have to to "get things started" in a few weeks and I feel huge!

I'm a hypocritical bitch because I'm totally judging someone for piercing their 1 year old boy's ear for his birthday. I'm anti earrings on babies/toddlers in general but I'm also anti-gender stereotypes and I feel like this is bothering me more because the kid is a boy so I'm pretty sure that makes me a big hypocrite.

Wait, whut? "Happy birthday, son! Here's a fucking hole through your ear!"

I feel like refusing to let a kid you're trying to PT or will soon be trying to PT out of the bathroom when you go is not a good idea.

When people put signs/bumper stickers on their car, I tailgate more because I'm back there going "WTF does this idiot have on their car? I can't read it from here."

I don't quite get what you're saying in the first part, and do exactly the same thing as you in the second part.

You're 1 ahead of us!

I had zero desire for the majority of the time and now that the drive is actually coming back, I feel like the logistics of it are just too awkward/uncomfortable so I can't be bothered to try.

SweetTea420 · March 2014

It would make me so happy if MIL wasn't the first one to visit us in the hospital after the baby is born. She gets special treatment all the time because she's bipolar and nobody wants to piss her off.

lrmrtn · March 2014

I can do my job a lot faster than I actually do it. I just don't want them to give me more work.

pistolpackinmomma · March 2014

My husband called and told me he was headed home last night so I rushed to clean the house in case he made it all of the way home last night. Then he texted me and said he was really tired and was just going to wait and leave this morning. I'm irrationally upset I busted my ass last night. By time he gets home today DS will have destroyed the house again. I wasted my efforts.

I also might have cried last night because the nursery isn't going to come together Ike I had planned. Everyone is telling me the colors are too bold/bright and that I need to cut them by at least 50% with white. But we're doing Dr. Seuss and I feel like really full colors won't accomplish what I'm wanting.

danabsd · March 2014

Last night, on the way out to dinner I was walking down the stairs into the garage and slipped, missed the last step and fell flat on my ass. H saw and looked over like I had just cut my hand off; pure horror. But all I could do was laugh because the fall caused me to pee. A lot. Like full on little kid accident style. So when he asked if I was ok all I could muster up was "Yea I'm fine I just peed myself a little."

I had literally just gone to the bathroom, I'm still not really sure what happened.

cbrust · March 2014

We've been living in DH's parent's second house for the last 4 months and they finally sold their other house in CA and are moving here in 2 weeks. As much as I'm grateful they are letting us live here rent free while we get on our feet, I'm not looking forward to sharing a space with them and a LO. Plus I got so used to peeing with the door open and walking around with no bra!

Honestly that seems pretty selfish on your MIL's part to go on vacation and put the pressure on you to take care of her 91yo mother while you're hugely pregnant. She should have set up other accommodations. I'd be upset, too.

megmegs · March 2014

FFFC: I love the kia soul commercials with the hamsters a little too much for most of my friends. I've *almost* mastered the little step-hop they do when they're getting ready to walk down the red carpet in the the most recent commercial.

Yep. Me too. No nookie over here since conception.

RickiLea25 · March 2014

May I jump on the MIL wagon?
I am with you PPs that don't want MIL to be the first one there, or to be waiting outside of the delivery room. Thankfully, this is #3 for us, and she at least doesn't wait outside the room lol

I love her dearly, BUT, she is very emotional, and a worrier, and a lot for me to digest at times...Mostly times that I am already under stress : /

I am super thankful that my husband understands, and agrees with me on the subject.

@mary97‌ you and your hubby should be more than fine on your own. Maybe you can leave your mom out of the delivery room, then no one will feel left out? Agree to call both families at the same time? I know it can be hard to consider everyone's feelings, but this is a very special day for your whole family. Good luck!

keeumm · March 2014

As a teacher, I love taking classes and encourage higher education. But I'm irrationally upset with DH because he's going for his doctorate and won't be finished before LO gets here. I also confess to being frustrated that our county does not offer a promotion or raise for people with their doctorate. DH will have 2 masters and his doctorate, plus 20+ years of teaching experience by the time he's done, and nothing. If this were business, that post-graduate degree may actually be appreciated.

Basically, I'm whiney about education and feeling under-appreciated.

ThereBeDragons · March 2014

I win, i win. No sex since a couple of weeks before what would have been conception in a non-FET pregnancy. I had a cold, then pelvic rest following the transfer, then morning sickness, then permanent pelvic rest. And ladies I miss sex and orgasms. A lot. Unfortunately even if I came off pelvic rest, DH confessed last night that at this point he'd be too weirded out by how rude it would feel in his mind to poke baby in the head. I am so looking forward to getting the all clear post baby. It has been way way way too long.

RickiLea25 · March 2014

mary97 said:
You just described my MIL. DH gets weird when it comes to my mother. He will not understand why my mom could be welcome and not his. If she wants to wait, fine. But the only mom I would want in the room during that time is mine, and I may not even want that. I just think it needs to be discussed before hand.

I know exactly how you feel! Definitely talk about it sooner rather than later. I may have even told MIL a white lie that there could only be one person in the room. Perhaps a little scummy, but I felt like it made it less of "I don't want you" and more of a "we just can't have you"

IBackBevo · March 2014

When I see other pregnant women, I can't help but compare my bump size to their bump size and wonder how far along they are.

awc1986 · March 2014

I need to add 2 more FFFCS:

1) I only half showered this morning. We're still having our bathroom renovated and only have a handheld shower, so it was "pits and bits" this morning. Greasy hair, don't care.

2) I just picked my car up from the garage and the mechanic has put my seat back. It took me a good 5 minutes to find the best angle to reach under the seat and pull it forward.

jsaffer01 · March 2014

May I also jump on the MIL bandwagon??
My MIL apparently told DH that when the time gets closer she plans on staying at the house with me, since DH works overnights. And if I go into labor during the night she will be there. I told DH this is not happening, I'm not disabled, I can handle it if I go into labor while he is at work, I will just call him and he will leave work to take me to L & D. He works 5mins up the street from home. And besides my MIL will be useless, the quickest way to the hospital is the highway and she doesn't drive on the highway, so she will be useless.

I honestly hope my MIL will respect my decision to not have her stay with me these last couple of weeks, because I would lose my mind. I hate how she cleans my house/dishes. And I don't plan on telling her I'm in labor until after we are at the hospital for a while because I know she will be in the waiting room the whole time!!! And she is out of her mind if she thinks she'll walk into the room and take the baby away from anyone holding it. I understand it's her first grandchild, but it's also my moms first grandchild and my first child... So the bitch better back off!!!

I love these commercials too! Always makes me think I want a Kia soul until Isee the on the street again and realize how butt ugly they are.

Rocknroll64 · March 2014

I think I rub my belly a lot more than normal people. It's an addiction.

IBackBevo · March 2014

Another one: I have been irrationally craving cotton candy this pregnancy. I don't think there is pretty much any food on earth with less nutritional value. Sugar and air.

And another: I am obsessed with the TV show Dallas...Both the old and new.

We haven't done it at all either. At first, I had no desire because I felt bloated and sick all of the time. Then when my desire came back, it was very sporadic and DH was really nervous about messing things up in the early stages, so we'd only fool around a little (no P in va-G). Now that I'm sort of into it again, we're both a little nervous about messing anything up since things have gone so smoothly. I'm well aware that this is 100% ridiculous because 1) the baby has no idea what's going on out there, and 2) I know we can't hurt the baby or the pregnancy since I haven't been put on pelvic rest, or been given any other Medical sexy time restrictions. Our anniversary is on Tuesday and we're going away for the weekend so who knows...maybe something will finally happen if the stars align! If not, I'm sure we'll be having awkward big belly sex toward the end to try and get things moving. I will remind him that if we don't get in some action before LO comes, we can't do it again until like July.

I had tiramisu for breakfast. Nom nom nom.

Kageer · March 2014

I have no clue what position my baby is in. I also would never be able to say something like, the baby kicked/pushed my cervix because I would have no idea that this was happening. I am also jealous of people who can tell these things:)

momthatlifts · March 2014

MH has been oddly attached to me lately. He has only gone to the gym twice this week and he usually goes between 5 and 6 days a week. He is just laying in bed with me or on the couch. I also feel like he has been "hanging" on me. He doesn't seem to be depressed and I've asked him, but he swears he is fine. I don't know if I'm being hormonal and irritable, but I really just want space. I would be fine of he sat on his couch and I sat on my recliner and we communicated from a distance. I guess a good word for this is he's being a bit "clingy". Is it possible for the husband's to nest?

My MIL has been harassing me about when to take vacation time to come stay with me for a week after the baby is born since DH works OOT. I really don't want her staying with me.

Tell your MIL that my husband will most likely be 8 hours away when I go into labor. I think you'll be fine with 5 minutes.
