Anyways I am breaking out like crazy and it's making me so upset that I wish it was not tomorrow. I am blaming my pregnancy hormones. It still sucks so bad.

Yay for getting married!!! Congrats!!!

p.s. Sorry about the breakouts, but don't worry, in 5 years you won't even remember that it annoyed you so badly.

On the smoking thing, an acquaintance of mine was pregnant a few months ago and smoked like a chimney (read: multiple packs a day) and ate nothing but junk (donuts, chips and mountain dews). SO kept telling them (she and her fiancee, he works with her fiancee, we know her through him) that she needs to quit smoking and eat better and she said the same thing: "Well, I quit for my oldest and he has bad allergies and all of my other kids are fine and I smoked through their pregnancies."

I think smoking is a horrible habit, pregnant or not, but I thought that I read somewhere last pregnancy that it's actually harder on the baby and the mother for a heavy smoker to quit cold turkey than to cut back and keep smoking. I didn't follow up on it and do my usual deep research, though, because I don't smoke so it didn't apply to me.

I get so irritated looking at baby clothes. I cannot stand sifting through 99% crap (imo) to hopefully maybe find something that isn't ridiculous. Why can't newborns just have soft, simple sleepers? I don't see the point of scratchy emblems, stiff tags, and syrupy sweet prints, especially with matching elastic headbands and Velcro bows. Yuck!
It's all fine & dandy if you're into that kind of stuff - I don't judge - but I'd just like it if there was a section or store just for boring, plain-jane, practical people.
To continue to my somewhat related second confession (sorry!)... I don't want a baby shower. We're getting so many hand-me-downs that our necessities are covered, I don't have a lot of friends (and don't particularly care for some of the ones I do have), I can't stand to be the center of attention, and really really really don't wanna even try to feign oohs & aahs through a fake smile while opening silly frilly aforementioned outfits.
Antisocial party pooper? No doubt. Ungrateful even? Perhaps. But I can't help it.

So mine is it's super warm today, I want to wear a skirt, but i haven't shaved my legs in over a month. Seriously it's rivaling my husbands. It's just such a pain in the ass. I'm lazy i don't want to do it. Do people really look and notice those things?

So what if they do?

(but FTR I haven't worn skirts yet either, just keep planning on picking up some wax & self tanner...)

aaaaaand congrats @Ineedmorecoffee‌ I'm sure you'll still look stunning!

lisaren · June 2014

@Ineedmorecoffee‌ congrats girl!!!

I'm due towards the beginning of November, but due to several factors, my anatomy scan won't be until 20w3d, and I'm kind of jealous of all the women who will be finding out sooner that their little ones are healthy/what sex the babies are. I just have to suck it up though, since it was important to me that my husband be there, and three weeks from now is the best opportunity for that.

@SweetMelissa5 I think we're due on the same day and my A/S isn't until the 25th, right around 20 wks, and the anticipation is killing me!

lisaren · June 2014

I keep my cell locked down. Nobody knows the code, not even H. Mostly because I've got porn and naughty shit I don't want daughter to see.
My mom gives me hell that H doesn't know code. He doesn't care. But if he did I don't want him going through my stuff.
We are also not friends on Fb. Hahahaha

ktibbits1 · June 2014

@Ineedmorecoffee‌ woohoo, congrats!! Enjoy your day

lisaren · June 2014

iPhone 5cs I think.

wildflower75 · June 2014

@Ineedmorecoffee
CONGRATS!!

@lisaren
You're not alone! My H doesn't have my phone codes and I don't have his...neither of us care.. I don't think he looks at porm on his phone like I do because I always see it in the history on the computer... LOL!

brichar31 · June 2014

@Ineedmorecoffee - Congrats on your big day, enjoy every moment, it goes so fast!

We had to complete 3 sessions of marriage counseling before our minister would marry us. I remember him asking if we had facebook accounts and if we knew each others passwords, then proceeded to say if we had nothing to hide from each other we shouldn't keep passwords secret. To this day we still don't know each others passwords, I thought we were supposed to trust each other! It baffled me our minister suggested the opposite.

jaminjeff · June 2014

Ugh, I'd die without my husband's phone password. Do you know how many times a day I'm picking up his phone and calling my own? It's ridiculous and it's only gotten worse because apparently this baby is a damn genius who is turning my brain to mush.

We both know our passcodes, but we don't get in each other's phone. The only thing I may do (other than call myself) is go through his pics once in awhile (with him sitting there) and send cute ones of DS to myself that I haven't seen before. I also light it up each morning when I go down to get in the shower only to see if there are any texts from the night because his boss is notorious for changing start times or locations on a job and I've had to go wake him and tell him to get up early and start getting ready for work.

Thank you!!!! I keep reminding myself, the reason I can't drink and am breaking out on my wedding is because of my beautiful baking little girl and she is all worth it.

I feel this way, too. Especially with boy clothes. Why do all boy shirts have to have an annoying truck or baseball on it? If someone invented an affordable, basic kids clothing line they would make a KILLING.

I was majorly broken out on my wedding day from all the stress. Heavy makeup and photoshop are lifesavers, and when I look back I never even think about it! Congratulations on your wedding, enjoy the day!

Ahhh that makes me feel better. I am dumb, but I totally googled to see if anyone had had a major breakout on their wedding just so I didn't feel like I was the only one! Lol. I didn't find much, so this has helped.

I do plan on telling my photographer to photoshop the shit outta my face.

absolutelymaybe · June 2014

@lizgrace03 - RE: lurking on BMB boards - I do this, too! (A lot). I'm actually a little paranoid I'm going to accidentally respond to one of their threads thinking it is N14.

@lisaren - re: marijuana - Up here in WA pot is now legal (even for non medical purposes). It was totally weird the first time I came out of the store and was like, "I swear I smell pot" and lo and behold there was a guy smoking a joint and it hit me, "Oh, yeah. He can do that now!" There is still a lot of stigma attached to it though and even the few people I know who smoke still try to hide it most of the time.

@moroccojade - re: smoking while pregnant - That is one of the things that seriously gets on my nerves. When DH and I were going through infertility treatments, there was this pregnant chick who works at a bar my friends karaoke at going on and on how her doctor told her its not safe her to to quit smoking. I seriously wanted to punch her in the face.

@Ineedmorecoffee - re: wedding - I love titted your post, but just wanted to clarify I like the part about getting married, not the zits. CONGRATULATIONS! I hope you have a great wedding.

@mexinugget - re: shaving - I'm wearing a dress and I don't honestly remember the last time I shaved. I did earlier this week, too. No one said anything. If they did, I'd question why they were staring at my legs.

..... now to go sit and think about my FFC. Maybe it should be that I came in to work on my day off to make up hours for being sick last week. And by make up hours, I mean sit here and Bump.

Ineedmorecoffee · June 2014

Thank you all so much for the congrats

It means a lot! Sorry to hijack the thread a bit lol.

I have SO's password and he has mine. We are both notorious for forgetting to set alarms so half the time we do it for each other. Plus, when I run out of lives in a game on my phone I'll just play on his.

Ah yes, there was a time I had Candy Crush on my husband's phone. I got over that game finally.

emoxymoose · June 2014

My FFFC - DH and I have always agreed on two kids and done but the past month or so I'm having serious second thoughts, I can't commit to the idea of a permanent birth control but haven't told him yet because I know he's completely sure.

abbyful · June 2014

I actually love the smell of pot. I don't smoke it myself, but I've been around it at concerts and such, and I think it smells good.

I've had really good luck at major dept stores like Macy's, Nordstrom's, Belk etc. it does cost more but personally I don't like all the hot pink, cheetah, zebra, diva, princess that goes on with girls ( same for boys), and I found many plain light pastel colors in nice soft cotton material.

mockingjay1 · June 2014

Maybe my FFFC should be that I have no idea what marijuana even smells like.

dr_pr · June 2014

@Ineedmorecoffee--congratulations, and have fun tomorrow!

My confession: DD is transitioning to becoming a daddy's girl (after 2 years of being all about me), and only a small part of me is sad. A much larger part is laughing at H because he didn't know how good he had it when she only wanted me. Now I can sit and play on my phone while she insists that he only sits on the floor with her! Plus, it's made me way more patient with her--when I had to have her all the time, I would pawn her off on anyone I could as soon as I could. Now that she's not insisting that I play with her, I enjoy our time together so much more!

Macy's & Elder-Beerman are two of the worst offenders here. EB not quite as much just bc they have a huuuuuuuge selection. I've actually had the most luck at discount stores like TJMaxx.

I cannot handle it when parents think it is funny when their little ones talk back and/or swear at them. The fact that they sit there and do nothing or even laugh it off makes my blood boil.

A few years ago DH and I were in line for Thunder Mountain Railroad and this little kid (maybe 7 or 8) was being a complete brat to his little sister. The mom threatened to make him get out of line if he didn't stop harassing her. His response? "M-A-K-E M-E... Make me." while glaring at her. She laughed! She freakin' laughed and didn't do a darn thing. DH and I were in complete disbelief. We decided then and there that if our kids ever did that we'd be on the next plane home. haha!

Nfranco973 · June 2014

@ smoking while preg.. I think pregnancy was the best thing that could of happened to me at the moment it did. I have been a smoker since I was 23. I have never in my home or around the kids. It's a complex I have to smoke around people. My dad used to think it was It was un-lady like and growing up he made that clear to us. I stopped smoking in January 2014. In February, my mom passed due to COPD and heart failure from being a smoker( she smoked for 41 yrs although she stopped when she started getting sick) At the time she passed, I started smoking again to try to relieve the stress. A few weeks later I found out I was preg. I was so disappointed that I had started smoking again & alOt more because I already had to watch my mother suffer from the effects of smoking. I immediately quit again and after baby don't even want to look at another one again. Thank you LO for making me see the light again ( as opposed to the lighter)

Edited for spelling stupid iPhone keyboard lol

I get pissed off when people say they "just thought I had too much to eat today for a skinny person" my bump is fucking round with my outie belly button hanging out! I finally look pregnant and you thought I ate a lot?

Well, that confirms my suspicion that I just look like a chunk in public at this point :-<

There will come a time...

ktibbits1 · June 2014

@Ineedmorecoffee‌ of it makes you feel better, I got a monster zit between my nose and lip somewhere between my ceremony and reception. I didn't even know until I went to the bathroom after some dancing and saw this massive bomb staring at me. It happens! Hopefully you have some good makeup and like people have said, there's always photoshop. Your outlook is the best though, it's all worth it!

mslynn2012 · June 2014

I finally have one!

I woke up 2 nights ago because we were having an earthquake. I laid there and waited for it to stop, when it started again. I realized the "earthquake" was actually DH... taking care of things for himself.

I just laid there and waited for him to finish, trying not to crack up. I'm a horrible wife, I'm NEVER in the mood anymore - poor guy.

I'm actually hoping he does this more often so I don't have to turn him down, I just hope I don't wake up everytime!!!

Yeah, okay. So I made my 1st post in a BMB that was not n14 today and not by accident. But, seriously, anyone who says it is a good thing some women had miscarriages....so. not. cool. (If you're curious it's a D14 post under "I'm a FTM. Forgive Me for Being New.")

mamatohne · June 2014

I stopped smoking the day I found out I was pregnant with ds, it made me so sick And have not looked back. This time however I crave them! So gross!!!!

I do not think there is anything wrong with pot, I live in an area where it is legal. There will be a store open next month that will sell it for recreational purposes less than 2 Min from my house. I think the fact is has not been legalized yet is ridiculous. A great way to get this country out of debt. I will say I do not personally smoke, I have done it one time since ds was born and I just couldnt (I was way to paranoid). So no more for me, but I have no problem with anyone who does.

Kristy774 · June 2014

One more- I have a neighbor that lives across the street from me. She has 6 kids and is the biggest asshole I've ever met. (We were friends for about 3 months a couple years ago until I saw her true colors) I seriously can not stand this woman she's one of the WORST parents I've ever seen, none of my other neighbors like her either.

Well, she put on FB that she's moving and put a picture of the house. I called the realtor pretending to be interested in the house and he told me it was going to close on June 18th. I can not WAIT until she's gone. My neighbors and I are planning on throwing a party!!!!

abbyful · June 2014

Here's my confession: I don't want my kids to play with one of our neighbor's kids. They are scummy people, the parents don't "parent", the kids are a mess and have zero respect for anybody or anything. And I will not allow my kids to go in their house, there's always different random questionable characters there, we never know who exactly is living there.

Our other 3 neighbor families with kids I really like and DS plays with their kids.

This is similar to the neighbor across the street. Her kids are NEVER supervised. Her 2 year old daughter ran around outside all day yesterday with just a diaper on. (Until 8pm!) It's ridiculous. She has her 11 year old parenting her children and she's a nasty person in general. My kids know they are to not play with them. And you know what else? The poor kids attitudes are horrible because of the way they've been raised so I personally don't want my kids around them anyway.

Want a personalized experience?
