That's odd. Why?

That's a strange thing to hope. 36 weeks is close but still not term, there could be complications if you deliver that early

My kid just had salami for lunch. That's it. Salami. Not on a plate, not in a sandwich, not in a rollup. Salami straight from the deli bag. Because it was nearly 1PM, & she finally decided she was sorta hungry for a snack, that's what she said she wanted, & it wasn't worth the fight because I'm really not feeling well today. Salami it is. Eat up, sweetie.

The thought of Kim and Kanye having more kids makes me want to vomit.

That's not so much a confession as an acknowledgement of what every other sane person in the world thinks.

The confession part is probably that i came to this when i was surfing People.com (when i am totally supposed to be working, lol).

I saw a headline stating they wanted more kids and it literally made me ill.

ETA: I never have a good UO, so i wanted to share something today. Haha

You want to go into labor at 36 weeks?? You realize that's still not full term, right?

I was thinking the same thing! I've got a massage scheduled for Saturday. I'll be making sure they don't focus on my feet this time *just in case.* Baby needs to stay put a little longer and DS came the day after a massage last time around (1 week early).

Now, I will be scheduling another massage about a week out from EDD and have no problem letting them go for it since I'm hoping for a vbac, but 36 weeks is just too early still.

My early TMI confession is that yesterday after I put my kid to bed, I decided I needed to shower. After I put my clothes in the laundry basket -- I realized the act of undressing was entirely too exhausting for me and I was having hot flashes, I went and sat down to watch TV then surfed the internet a little.

DH had been out at dinner with his coworkers and boss, so I heard him open the front door and realized it would be weird if he found me sitting naked watching TV so I scrambled and sprinted down the hallway in all my glory to hop in the shower and pretend like I had been in there for a while.

Looking back, I definitely feel like a moron running down the hallway naked while 8 months pregnant. The visual makes me cringe.

That's weird in your house? Haha I pretty much walk around in my underwear all the time these days if I don't have anywhere to be, DH thinks nothing of it!

chrinikki1 · May 2014

While most people seem to be sick of companionship with DH/SO, my FFTC is I'm feeling more codependent than ever! All I want is DH to come home after his week long trip. I don't care if we just sit and stare at each other, I'm so fucking lonely and getting more scared every day about labor. Pathetic, I know.

honeybee434 · May 2014

So that stretch make freak out post I had from weeks ago? Well, the "stretch mark" was obviously not one, because it's gone. It went away awhile ago, but I felt so ashamed for my fake freak out I felt bad posting about it....but then I felt bad not admitting I totally freaked out for no reason. So now I feel like real stretch marks are going to pop up at any time as karma payback for my complete irrationality. I hate being one of "those" pregnant women. And now I am.

bunkgirl · May 2014

I'm on the road today for work so I took my lunch to a bench outside the library so I can use the free wifi. Ate my lunch and then realized I now have a sunburn on one arm and half of my face. I look ridiculous and still have 3 more clients to see today.

purpleXdandelion · May 2014

I just ate a whole row of golden oreos and now feel like death.

The past few days, I've been wearing my kaftans that I got from etsy the whole time I'm home. And no bra. They're just so flowy and comfy. I originally purchased them for after I have the baby, but they are amazing right now, even though I look like a big bulging tent. Sorry DH, comfort trumps style.

This is totally me too! He was gone for a few days last week and I was weepy and lonely the whole time. It also sucks because we are still in the midst of moving/cleaning/unpacking and he is running around doing a lot of work that I know needs to be done and I am just like "can't we sit on the couch and cuddle?"

Me three. He was gone for a night last week, ONE NIGHT, and I didn't know what to do with myself. And I've always been more of a physically affectionate person than him, but it's worse now. He'll come give me a hug and I try to hold on for awkwardly long.

AKbadwolf · May 2014

I am just thankful DH is finally home. He was gone for 3.5 months and I am sure that is part of what contributes to my "I am just done being pregnant" attitude now.

Went to cash two checks from my aunt and cousin from my baby shower (may18) so i could go shopping for his arrival.. The teller says oh i cant cash these they are no good . Are you f*ing kidding me !? And aunt is in mexico right now attending my sisters destination wedding ..

middleschoolmommy · May 2014

My milk supply never really came in. I was only getting a couple mL at a time pumping. This is starting to decrease and they have switched Alexander to formula today, instead of donated breast milk.

My confession is that I am a happy that I am going to get to sleep through the night now, instead of pumping every 3 hours. This will give me about a month before Alexander comes home and I'm back to the 3 hour feedings.

Yes, naked is definitely weird especially when you have a nearly three year old (unless you ARE the three year old).

Yeah I guess I could see that being weird with a kid. Man that means I have to get used to not walking around almost nekkid pretty soon!

DH is going to be gone for a week soon, and I'll be on maternity leave and I have been looking forward to getting a mani/pedi while he's gone... But shockingly I do not want to trigger labor at 37 weeks ;-)

It is! If they specialize in prenatal massages, then they know the right pressure points to pinpoint that may help move things along. Not sure I 100% believe in it, and last time they asked if I wanted them to work on that and I told them no, but I definitely got extremely relaxed (ok, probably fell asleep) when she was working on my feet and 12 hours later I was in labor. Now, I also went and worked out after the massage, so it could have been that too, or it just could have been baby's time to go regardless of what I did the night before, but I'll take any excuse to get in one more massage before LO gets here.

darkangel42 · May 2014

@bunny0711 I did but it didn't seem to do much. I gave DD1 strips of washcloth dipped in water and frozen when she was teething though and it worked so figured I'd give it a go. It's definitely helping so whoever suggested it for teething babies 5 years ago was spot on!

Nope not weird at all. As long as my boys aren't around (13 and 11) I have no problems being naked.

chrinikki1 · May 2014

Ugh. I HATE having to confess this... I just went ape shit on my biological father's voicemail (and I might regret it in a small way). I have all sorts of insecurities around being pregnant/feeling as big as a house so I stay clear of pictures. I also have a profession where Facebook is a touchy subject so although I have one, it's for networking and I do not have any pictures of myself/DH. Well, last night Bio-F asks for a pic because he is miles away, I haven't seen him in years and he is very excited for his first grandchild. So I break down and text him a pic. I wake up this morning and that same pic is on Facebook. First I went ape shit, then I had a fucking melt down hyperventilating. Granted, I still don't want the pic up but WHY did I have to flip out and look like a crazy prego chick...

Oh, because I am. (Hangs head in shame)

Nomi, but the point is you stopped it for your boys...so you will eventually stop it for your daughter.

......Right??????????

BP607 · May 2014

I have an unhealthy obsession with trying to find a reasonable, decent jogging stroller that I can put the infant seat in (for walks) and for my toddler. I can't find anything within our budget I have been scouring the internet for deals and alternatives and now I find out that our car seat we had with DS (safety 1st) doesn't really seem to be compatible with the infant seat attachments. I may just lose my mind. We have a bike trail like 3 miles from our house that I love walking on and it looks like unless I want to invest $1000 in new car seat, stroller, adapter, etc, I'm SOL until next spring when LO can sit in the stroller himself. I'm sad.

Not necessarily. I do wear minimum of panties if I have to check on her in the middle of the night or something, but I really tend to not care. I stopped more for their comfort than for mine. I'm not dancing around shaking my breasts but it doesn't bother me even if my boys see them. I do make sure to be wearing bottoms, but I have changed shirts and all with my boys in the room. I warn them "I am changing my shirt you may want to look away or step out, but I still do so.

I will teach DD to respect her body but at the same time I don't stress over nakedness when it is only family around.

I hope you don't feel at all guilty about this. Getting milk to come in when you deliver prematurely and have to use a pump is really difficult! He is being fed, which is the most important, and you deserve your rest too! Honestly the process of pumping in the night is much harder than feeding at night with a bottle or a boob. So, what I'm saying is: you rock, get that good sleep, Alex doesn't care what's being fed to him.

@MSUDucks Thanks for saying this. I go back and forth between being okay and then feeling guilty as hell. I was really feeling down early on. I tried Reglan, and I went from 1mL to 5mL per pumping. Now that I'm weening off Reglan, the supply is disappearing. I wanted to breastfeed so badly! I just pray his little tummy handles the formula well, otherwise I think I will go back to feeling guilty real quick.

So I dont want to be that pregnant woman but everytime someone at work complains to me about being tired or having a backache I just want to scream at them no you have no idea what tired and sore are! So I guess I'm saying being pregnant gives me the trump card lol

hgtvmom · May 2014

So this happened today... And it was the best, easiest NST we have had! There was no room on the floor next to me and I wouldn't allow him to be out of my sight, so I put the pooch on the gurney with me. Baby was well behaved for once! No kicking the monitors. No rolling away. No nothing. Monday's NST took almost 90 minutes to get 20 minutes of heart rate monitoring. Today, it took 21. I think I will put the pooch on my gourney every time from here on out.

To stem from the baby nickname talk in UO, this little boy's nickname has been set for a while now.

First name: Maximilian
Original nickname: Max
DW's lazy nickname: Mac

Max is a big baby boy so it's only natural that his official nickname be....

Big Mac!

So that's my little confession for the day. My baby's nickname is a famous burger. Yup, we're "unique".

MonkeyJD · May 2014

DH has been home sick for 3 days but refuses to take medicine or go see a doctor. I'm so tired of seeing him sleeping on the couch 24/7 that I want to punch him in the face. He feels bad in the morning then fine in the afternoon so why he can't get off his butt & do something is beyond my comprehension. ~X(

Big Mac was my nickname in middle school and into high school before it was just shortened to Mac.
I played baseball growing up and through college. At the time, Mark McGuire was really popular - and we both played first base - so it was an easy connection. I did have someone ask one time if it was "because I liked McDonalds."
