Who is ready for a little FFFC? FFFC= Flames Free Friday Confession. However, no guarantee they are actually flame free...confess at your own risk.

Let's hear 'em Ladies!

I don't get having a cat as a pet.

Meh. Cats are fine. I don't have one, but I can see why other people would. Dogs are better. But I secretly judge people that dress their dogs up in little outfits and take them everywhere, like to the mall.

But WHY?!

They shit in a box in your house. I can't get over that part.

MaggieN2028 · April 2014

Yes..they do. Gross. But DH has to take care of that for me now. YES.

littleboyermoose · April 2014

I love cats and dogs and start to re-evaluate friendships when people say that they don't want pets. Then I get over myself.

SCSmith2011 · April 2014

I'm so freaking tired that I told work I'd be in late. The only reason I'm even considering going in is because I left a box of cupcakes on my desk.

peachy009 · April 2014

I discovered Friday Night Lights on Netflix and am addicted. I keep "going to bed early because of how tired this pregnancy is making me" and then I stay up for a couple more hours watching it. Its become a serious guilty pleasure.

kath16 · April 2014

I often judge people who wear leggings as pants. I am so bloated right now that all I want to wear is leggings and a long tshirt and I don't even care if people judge me.

Daneicy80 · April 2014

I like the movie Frozen as much as, if not more than, my kids. I watch it when they are asleep; I watch the music vids on youtube and I study the lyrics to make sure I am singing it correctly when I belt out random tunes in the car.

kim1730 · April 2014

I nearly got run over by a car that was backing out in my son's school's parking lot a couple days ago and my first thought after I managed to jump around it was "Well that's one way to get an early ultrasound"

AngelSong76 · April 2014

I took another pregnancy test last night. That makes 14 so far. I must stop. It's an addiction.

emsrdh03 · April 2014

DH and DS are out of town until Monday. I have a mental list of all the things I probably should get done with all this free time. So far all I've done is sit on the couch and binge watch shows on Netflix.

LadyRoarsome · April 2014

I ordered E a big brother batman shirt as soon as the pregnancy tests told me I was knocked up.

E, my two year old, was the first person I told. Who could he tell, right? I tried probably a dozen different ways to get him to eat last night. I asked him if he would like the baby to sit down and eat with him, of course he did. He ate two helpings. I have a feeling E may be the one who outs us to someone.

Yep. I'm still poas too. In my defense, I'm only doing it every 2-3 days now. Just want to make sure they keep getting darker! With my last pregnancy, the tests started getting lighter around 5-6 weeks and I ended up miscarrying. So, part addiction and part just needing to get past that hump.

Plus, I just have so many, so why not??

I have one left. I'm saving it for just before my doctor's appointment. I'm super paranoid for some reason this time around.

LaxMOM44 · April 2014

I blamed a particularly stinky fart on our DD and even pretended to take her upstairs to "change" her bum.

My God daughter told EVERY ONE with my last pregnancy. This time, she knows nothing until I get in 2nd trimester.

I really hope this isn't my fate, lol. E keeps pointing to my belly saying 'baby' though! Part of me feels we should tell at least family early than we anticiapted because of E.

feliciaw86 · April 2014

I'm still preoccupied with my weight. I used to be really heavy and I've been obsessed with weight ever since. I'm scared of gaining too much weight and not losing it post-pregnancy.

Just as an FYI, the darkness of the line is not an indicator for a viable pregnancy. The test was created to tell if your pregnant, not how pregnant you are.

I took one this morning to make sure it was darker than my light first BFPs. It was significantly darker and it was comforting. I know that it's not a test of how pregnant I am or that everything is going according to plan, but I wanted to confirm that I had more hcg than I did initially, and I clearly did.

I'm not telling you not to do it...I have a garbage can filled with them!! I was just telling you in case it fades, kind of as a comfort.

touche :-) right now i'm thinking i'm going to take one a week until my first appointment to keep myself sane until then!

pjswife · April 2014

I'm worrying about gaining weight too. Also, I'm so mad at my husband right now- he has a badly broken leg and had surgery a few weeks ago. I have to take him to work every morning and he has this big obnoxious scooter. He won't be walking until May 15th. He did it playing soccer; I was't there but I just know he was doing some cool guy thing. He has made me late for work every morning and combined with my mounting M/S, its pretty maddening. I'm so sick of everyone asking how he is doing and saying how worried they are about him- he's gonna be fine. I love him more than life itself, but hey, this is flame free.

I broke my leg playing soccer a couple years ago and it was in the lamest way possible, so don't be too hard on him :-)

Yeah, the only reason I didn't call in sick today is because I have two things I really need to get done.

pjswife · April 2014

kath16, yeah

Broken legs are a long road, I've definitely learned it can happen lots of weird ways...he is doing his best

I am absolutely terrified to be having another baby when DS is still so young (19mos). Don't get me wrong I'm happy and excited but the thought of being a SAHM of two makes me extremely anxious.

My son is almost the same age as yours! I'm actually very excited to have two so close in age (but not 2u2, which is what I had planned to do) My sister and I were 22 months apart and we often kept each other occupied. My mom was a SAHM and she says she loved having two so close together. I'm just trying to figure out how to get both of them ready to drop off before I have to go to work. *sigh*

i work in a secure facility with cameras almost everywhere. this has not stopped me from gingerly trying to hold my boobs while i'm walking down the stairs so they hurt less. if someone happened to be checking that camera at the right moment, they probably think i'm a complete freakshow.

My boobs are massive anyway...so is it bad that I hold them going up and down stairs on a normal day? Haha

I like the song Mmmbop by Hanson.

With my first pregnancy, my mom announced it on Facebook (including posting the ultrasound photo and tagging me and DH in it) at 20 weeks. She also announced the birth on FB and tagged us in it while DH and I were still in the hospital. In both cases DH and I specifically asked her not to tell anyone or post anything, but she did it anyway. DH and I were both upset about it, as we hadn't planned to announce the pregnancy on FB at all (high risk pregnancy) and we wanted to be the ones to tell people and post a photo after LO was born.

We've told a few family members about my pregnancy so far, but I haven't told my mom. I honestly don't know when I will tell her. If I'm being petty and childish, please feel free to flame me!

I completely understand where you're coming from... I was in a similar situation with my first. Not the pregnancy part, we never announced on facebook, but at the birth. First I had told my DH that I didn't want anyone at the hospital until after baby was born. Family only lived 10-15 minutes from hospital so we could call them as soon as it happened and they could be there in very little time.

DHs parents did not obey my wishes and showed up anyway, he was so concerned about them he spent a good deal of time keeping them company instead of helping me labor (picture me irritated).

Then the icing on the cake was they asked to come into the LDR moments after I gave birth, I was unhappy but obliged. Well MIL took a picture of us and posted it to FB (without our permission) we were not and still do not post any pictures of our kids. Well my mom saw said picture before she had a chance to meet her Grandchild herself... suffice to say she was livid, as was I.

DH and I got into some nasty verbal fights with MIL over the next few weeks. There is a ton more to the story but lets just leave it at I never felt the same way about my MIL again, it strained our relationship. So yeah I totally get it.

Jackrussellx2 · April 2014

I told my husband that I can't clean up the dog poop in the backyard because of pregnancy. I know theres something about that with cats, but dogs!? I think I just made that up to get out of it.

My boobs are not huge, I'd say average, but I hold them when I'm going up and down stairs too! If it's bad, I don't want to be good. Having them bounce annoys me! Maybe I just need a better bra?

I slept until noon today and gave zero fucks about my ever growing to-do list. Life is beautiful.

I'm annoyed H doesn't want to talk about "the baby" more. Yes, I know it's only day 5 of knowing, but other than him and the board I have no one else to talk to since we aren't telling anyone until 2nd trimester.

Same. I'm trying really hard to not get annoyed.

MaggieN2028 · April 2014

@LadyRoarsome, @Sigmatam my H is being the same way. He won't have serious discussions with me about ANYTHING yet..talk names? NO. talk finding out sex? NO. Annoying!

and @ladyroarsome...I think I already need to go get fitted again for more bras...these aren't cutting it...and it's only 5 1/2 weeks in! UGH.

baseballcr8zd · April 2014

I've done absolutely no work today...been trolling TB alllllll day

AngelSong76 · April 2014

My Hubbs is the same way right now. We had a rough time of it right at the end of our first pregnancy and there were some scary moments. He's still rattled from that, honestly. And since we did fertility treatments, he's also concerned about multiples and won't relax about that until we have an ultrasound.

(he's convinced we're going to have quadruplets for some reason)

So he's not really excited yet. And honestly, I'm trying not to get too excited myself until we know things are okay. But it's hard to stay detached when it's happening inside your own body.

Sigmatam said:

@Ladyroarsome, @MaggieN2028, H even explained his reasoning as well. He doesn't want us to get ourselves worked up over having a baby until we know everything is okay at the first appointment. Rationally I agree, I have friends who have been devastated by their m/c, but it's kinda tough for me to not want to talk about it. BTW, I did get him to discuss tentative names and if we should find out gender, but other than that hubby does not want to "start making" plans just in case.

We have the reverse role in our home. I'm happy to talk symptoms or what's going on with my body with H, but once he starts talking about what names we like or painting the nursery, I just tell him that I want to wait to talk about that stuff. It's like a defense-mechanism for myself to feel detached until my first drs appt. It's totally subconscious too. I have no desire to talk about these things right now honestly.
