Confess All The Things.

mrscurlygurl · June 2014

I am definitely using the "semen can bring on labor" excuse to keep DH at bay.

TallMomma29 · June 2014

I ate a whole medium pizza and a lava cake around 9p last night (I've only gained 30 pounds and the kid is coming out this weekend so now is the time to go crazy, right?!), and then I woke up at 4:30 starving like I hadn't eaten in days. I had a bagel with cream cheese, and now I'm contemplating a bowl of cereal (5:30). Where is this food going?!

I just realized I have used 5 whole rolls of toilet tissue since the 1st.

This flea sized bladder is not working and if it wouldn't cause problems I'd seriously put myself in fluid restrictions.

With DS1 I did combo birth announcement/holiday cards since he was born close enough to Christmas. I probably sent out about 50 to friends and family. This time I'm considering just having like 5 birth announcements printed up so I can put one in DS2's baby book and send one to the White House so he can get his own welcome to the world card from the Obama's and never know that I didn't actually send out birth announcements for him. 2nd kid already getting the shaft.

i saw a 4d pic of dd2 and don't think she is as cute as DD1. i didn't tell anyone but it looks like she got DH's nose

i know it means absolutely nothing, but my sister and i were constantly compared to each other and I hated it. Sigh.

Huahine · June 2014

#1 - I made the moves on a clearly exhausted and disinterested DH the other night, just to get him to abandon our bed for the guest room so I could starfish all over the empty bed by myself all night.

#2 - I think my kid is cutest when he is slightly feverish. Those pink cheeks and glossy eyes are just adorable. And the lethargic version of a toddler is much easier to handle when I'm this big and tired myself.

jcartz · June 2014

I have a couple. They aren't that exciting, but whatevs.

I've never been to Sonic and there is one less than 10 mins away. I may go today to try a slushie, and I've been studying the thread to pick which one to get.

I've been one of THOSE women who want the baby to come a little early. Yesterday I read an article about elective inductions before full term and it scared me. I'm not asking for an early induction, but as much as I want to meet this baby and be done with all the pregnancy woes, I've changed my tune and I'm totally ok with going till July 9. But then? Give me all the Pitocin.

DH will not have sex with me because he's afraid of bringing on labor, and he has a crazy busy week at work next week. I think he's being a selfish douchebag and have made no secret that I've still been getting action, just without him, in hopes he gets all hot & bothered and wants some. Not so much.

I will also confess to being a little happy when my kids are sick. Obviously not life-threatening illnesses, but a cold? They don't whine or cry, all they want is to snuggle and cling to me like little koala bears. It puts me in full-on mama mode.

My DH feels too weird about it knowing that our daughter is in there. I could try to explain to him how there is nothing to worry about, etc. but why?! Completely guilt free break when I am not remotely interested in sexy time. Woo!

See...this LO is a lot more active, or at least I feel it more than I did with DS, too...and that kind of weirds me out. I know it's fine...but it certainly doesn't put me in the mood. DH doesn't seem to get why we can't do "other" things and I finally had to be like "I'm NOT interested!" I feel bad for him, but not bad enough to keep faking the effort any more.

tourqeyes · June 2014

I want a wet nurse.

Skeemer · June 2014

I cannot eat popcorn gracefully. I look like a T-Rex shredding everything.

baxterdreamer · June 2014

I want to have sex but I give up. I have no clue how to be sexy anymore. And really, I don't have the energy. Stating this confession makes me feel ridiculous!

Lhalliburton · June 2014

I'm terrified of having a newborn again. DD is 3, and I feel like I don't remember how to do it anymore. All the fantastic "secret" techniques, tips, and tricks I gathered have left me. Hopefully I can figure it out again.

Well, it's your lucky day. Maybe you can get the unsolicited poster from July '13 to give you some advice.

JLHV1909 · June 2014

My zantac has been great to kill the heartburn, but it has backed me up considerably. I just want to poo regularly again.

I'm also at the point where I may "take out" my DH or SD- she's almost 11 and mouthy. Both need to stop complaining about the messy house/ kitchen and help me clean it up. I work all day, and come home with swollen huge club feet that hurt. Just because I have lady parts doesn't mean that my marriage vows were actually an agreement to become everyone's maid.

Soon2BMrsN · June 2014

I had eggplant Parmesan and sex last night...but neither were to try and induce labor. It was our anniversary. I got some weirdly intense lower back cramping right after eating the eggplant parm and freaked out until it went away.

beff12 · June 2014

We are seriously low on food and I need to go grocery shopping today. Our closest store is a Lowes Food that offers a shopping service...you make your list online and they shop for you. I'm pretty sure old people/handicapped people do that, but it is soooo tempting today, even though it probably costs a lot. I have no excuse other than pure laziness.

TallMomma29 · June 2014

While I miss him, I kind of like the days when DH has duty for one night (ie when he leaves for work I won't see him until the following night) because I don't feel any pressure to shower or put real clothes on that day. It's glorious! And soon I'll have a baby which will be my new excuse! ;-)

DH is lucky to have a woman who cares so much about looking good! ;-)

Emilyfae · June 2014

Lame FFFC: Right before my last OB appointment, I went to Starbucks and got a bagel, cream cheese and drip coffee. I was still hungry, so I drove down the street to McDonalds and got an egg and cheese biscuit and two hash browns. I confessed to DH later that night and he thought it was hilarious for some reason. We're both vegetarians and eat only healthy food (most of the time).

cookieinva · June 2014

I feel like this is more the confession than all the no sex confessions above. I had sex with DH yesterday in the middle of the day, just because. Not even to try to bring on labor or anything.

runrinserepeat · June 2014

Oh, well I'm having all the sex. I've been having really bothersome contractions for at least a week or so now. I waited for a few days for them to die down, and they didn't. So now I'm all about having sex to see if we can get things going. I figure it's not gonna work unless it's time anyway. Doesn't seem to be doing anything, though, so whatever. I figure this is my last hurrah until August when I get cleared again, might as well enjoy it.

SO is away this weekend with friends, and tonight I'm going to go to Long John Silver's, ask for an order of "fried everything," drench it in malt vinegar, and watch HGTV while eating ALL the trans fat. And I'm going to love it.

This sounds so amazing

ETA: only I would be finishing binge watching Orange is the New Black instead

purpleXdandelion · June 2014

I'm not an animal person. Especially dogs. *hides*

ghostof5letters · June 2014

Here's my lame FFFC - I didn't do the flu shot or pertussis vaccine this pregnancy. Mainly because my doctor's office doesn't offer the injections onsite and I'm too lazy to make an appointment at my PCP or just wait in CVS.

helloblueeyes · June 2014

FFFC #1 I knew I was getting the swab yesterday so I did some ladyscaping.

When I asked DH as I was getting ready how bad a job it was he broke out into a fit of laughter and said it looked like a slightly off jack o lantern with a weird mouth.

Eta:

FFFC #2 I don't even remember the last time we had sex. It was probably like February.

SuperTinkerham · June 2014

I haven't cooked dinner since October. Well I tried a few times, but got so disgusted by the food I couldn't eat it by the time it was done. Mister has done pretty much all the cooking.

darkangel42 · June 2014

Got all excited that the OH wanted to have sex for fun last night and not just to get baby out so thought it might actually BE fun. It wasn't (he was tired and I protested I didn't want tired sex because it's awful and he claimed he wasn't too tired so to trust him it would be great) but he's one of those magical men who insists on pleasing the partner before he'll stop and nothing will persuade him otherwise.

Normally that's fine but because he was tired, it wasn't doing anything for me and my attempts to make it work all failed. Last night, for the first time, I faked it. Just to get him to stop and go away.

I am a terrible wife.

I also make him sleep in the spare room "because he wakes me up when he's on earlies at work" aka "because I like to starfish"

zellatrix · June 2014

So, this is probably my most flame-worthy confession to date...

I am stuck on hospital bed rest for the foreseeable future and it sucks. There are parts that are nice, like being waited on hand and foot and getting to watch lots of tv. But, then the rest is pretty obvious. I am stuck in a tiny room for probably the next two weeks. Two weeks is a long fucking time...

So, my confession is, part of me (and only a small part, but it is there) wishes we could go ahead and do this. Yes, he'd have to be in the NICU, but at least I wouldn't be sitting here constantly expecting to lose my kidney or have a stroke.

Also, there is a likelihood my doctor would let me go home for bed rest there, but I am requesting not to because I am scared I will go home and die.

So... theres my ridiculous thoughts for today.

bunkgirl · June 2014

I am irrationally angry at DH. He hasn't done anything wrong, yet I am still PISSED at him for just about everything.

FFFC: I think I had a dream where he made me mad and I am holding that against him in real life.

livkight · June 2014

@symphony4586 -- Weeks ago, I was telling DH about all the little squishies coming early and he got on a major "WE NEED TO INSTALL THE CAR SEAT" rager too. Pretty cute.

(Although my man lacks follow-through... we still need to install the car seat.)

I'm going to go ahead and buy this super long cami maxi dress at Target today, even though I really should be putting that money towards baby related stuff.

I ate a dark chocolate brownie with my giant mug o' coffee for breakfast.

The Nursery and all of it's contents are pretty much done but I'm not telling DH until I am sure I don't want to buy anything else :-D

Hell hath no energy like a woman on maternity leave

That cami dress will be a great breastfeeding dress- easy boob access. That's what I told Mister when I bought 3 sundresses. "I NEED NURSING CLOTHES".

[Deleted User] · June 2014

#1: My mother flames me whenever we talk about where Maddie is going to sleep for the first few months. I plan on getting one of those in bed co sleepers for like the first week and then into her crib she goes. Apparently this makes me a bad person because she's supposed to be in a bassinet or some other sleeping device in my room for 3-6 months according to her.

I see no point in waking up both DH and myself when she needs to be fed, etc. Because of her insistent advice, I purposefully don't tell her things about my pregnancy or plans for breast feeding etc.

I just realized yesterday that I never got my pertussis vaccine. I had every intention to a month or so ago and just completely forgot, apparently, and now I don't even know if it will do any good less than a week before when she will probably be here.

I am totally procrastinating writing my self evaluation. Writing about yourself and accomplishments is painful.

If I go to the bathroom at work and someone else is in the other stall, I'll linger in my stall until I hear the person flush, wash their hands (hopefully) and leave before I leave my stall. I hate bathroom chit-chat, particularly if it's my boss.

I do the opposite. If someone is in the opposite stall, I BOOK IT out of there to avoid any awkwardness.

abundancenow · June 2014

@zarkarella, probably pretty normal thoughts for your situation, don't be too hard on yourself or allow yourself to dwell too long on the negative possibilities. I'm thinking the hospital is the best place to give you the care that you need now and sending positive thoughts, no flames.

Two weeks may appear to be a long time, but imagine all the entertainment you will find from July Mom's. The past two weeks have really been gearing up! 8-}
