Thanks @YaMrWhite‌!

vjdk07 · June 2014

Yesterday I sat around on my butt watching crappy TV while DH cleaned the house and did laundry. I mean, he was moving furniture to clean under it and dusting blinds and ceiling fans. I said I was feeling bad. I felt a little guilty but I think I'll survive.

SparksAZ · June 2014

Guys... I've been so exhausted and sick. But it's gone too far.

I dreamt I was peeing. And then I woke up. And, and, and...

I'm so humiliated. You're the only ones who can know.

Seriously going to go cry now.

SparksAZ · June 2014

Oh wait. Now Feb15 knows, too.

kaybeeknits · June 2014

@SparksAZ‌ I came really close to doing that a few weeks ago. Luckily I wrote up in time. ::hair pats::

One time after I was cleared to exercise again after DD was born, I was running on the treadmill and had to pee but I didn't want to stop so I thought I could hold it like I used to. When I realized that was not going to happen I jumped off the treadmill but it started pouring out like a faucet on full blast. Right onto a nice oriental rug. Shit, or pee, happens

See, this is why I told my husband to put the waterproof pad on the bed now. He was like, "Won't you not need it till later?" YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN.

Literally lol'd! Thanks, I needed it

WillCMyInk · June 2014

I've now gained 4-5 lbs in the first trimester (ugh, depressing! I really thought it would be only 2-3)and my stomach is definitely getting bigger. Not because of baby, or maybe it kind of is because my other organs are pushing out of the way, but it's definitely not like baby is the bump itself.

People keep commenting on how my bump is already starting to show and I'm totally playing along like it's not fat.

SparksAZ · June 2014

Thank for making me feel better

Me today:

kaybeeknits · June 2014

I really need to stop reading about how much others have gained here. I've gained 6-7 lbs and I feel like a fatty in comparison. I keep trying to tell myself not to compare myself to others. ETA: For clarification, I am not expecting anyone not to post about her own weight gain. I know this is my problem.

I'm the one that called the baby a gummy bear, but only in that one ultrasound picture. We don't call baby 'gummy bear' at home. Sometimes we call baby Thor (only H and I) because it is funny to say, "Thor is making me feel like shit today"

vjdk07 · June 2014

We typically called the babe whatever the fruit of the week is. Right now, it's the prune.

I've gained 0.6 lbs. I've really been trying hard because I'm starting out way heavier than I should be and the heaviest I've been in my entire life. It's hard because all I want to eat is crap.

JerseyHopeful · June 2014

@kaybeeknits‌ if it helps I am right there with you. I think I'm in the 5-6 lb range but my body has changed so much it might as well be 20lbs. I also have a hard time not comparing myself to others.

rainbows · June 2014

We were referring to the baby as a vampire, because my friend told me it sucks all the calcium out of your bones. During our doppler session, the doctor said the baby swam away, so since then ive been referring to the baby as "the fishy".

In my mind I see a miniature person in scuba gear swimming around in me.

Cbeanz · June 2014

Stargirl is easily one of my favorite people on here. She's smart and confident, and she's unabashed about speaking her mind. Love it.

Also I can't see this controversial pic because I've had signatures hidden forever but I'm positive it wouldn't offend me. My guess is that she's pretty so people want a reason to complain about her.

Flame away!

longcat07 · June 2014

as of my appointment last week (10w), i'd gained nothing. i feel like i've gained about 15lb though.

Yep. That's the only reason I ever "complain" about people. 8-|

Also, her picture doesn't offend me. It annoys me and it has nothing to do with her level of attractiveness.

Edit: forgot period at the end.

I'm 3 episodes in to the second season of American Horror Story and I can't finish it because I'm freaked out (and occasionally still feel like latex suit is watching me from the first season). My confession is I'm a wimp.
I love that show! I used to have to take breaks during episodes and between episodes too. I'm really nervous for season four because I think it might have circus people

Me too!! Clowns are my LEAST favorite things next to spiders. I will never understand having them at children's parties...they are just creepy. First season was definitely the creepiest so far in my book and 2nd took some odd turns...season 3 was just gory compared to the other two...interested to find out what season 4 has in store!

Ha! and to say people "complain" because a person is pretty?? I could have never seen a picture of her in my life (and she could be Heidi Klum) and I completely understand people's reasons for being irritated by her...trust me, it's her words, not her face.

I hate nicknames for your fetus. I'm my saying you need to call it embryo or fetus but I hate bean and little bopper or whatever other annoying names people come up with. Makes me cringe. Maybe it isn't even that people have these nicknames but that they share it. Eta-probably more of a uo

Bean and nugget make me cringe.
Ugh nugget!
I don't like those either, bean, nugget, peanut, etc. We have taken to calling our baby "George" (in a British accent) because our 3 year old loves Peppa Pig and she always talks about wanting a brother named George. So when we told her she automatically assumed I had a piglet named George in there. That's what she calls him so that's what we call him/her. She will be disappointed when the baby is born and is not a piglet. And we have no plans of actually naming him George lol.

OMG! DD absolutely loves Peppa Pig, and DH makes a huge deal when it's on...like it's his favorite show too. And he tells her all the time that George is his favorite. So, when DD and I were at a store, they had a George beany baby, and she had to buy it for him...so she gave it to him for Father's Day. It was so cute!

kaybeeknits · June 2014

I go back and forth with Stargirlb. Honestly, when I first saw her sig pic I kind of did an eyeroll because it just came across as AWish, but I'm not offended by it at all. She is absolutely beautiful. my second thought was, "I wish I would look like that NOT soon after a kid, let alone soon after having a kid!"

A lot of my beliefs do align with her, so while I agree with her a lot of the time or find her funny, many of her posts are clearly meant to shit stir. Another tick in the "AW" column.

I can't help but roll my eyes/laugh at the "THEY'RE JUST JEALOUS OF YOU, GIRL!" assumptions. It really degrades women to assume the only reason they may have issues with other women is because of how jealous they are.

The next time anyone takes issue with something I say on here my response is going to be "Haters gonna hate! Thank you for thinking I'm pretty

Why won't mobile bump let me put in my GOT eye roll GIF? Wahhhh!

The annoyance has nothing to do with if people think she is attractive. I think it's ridiculous that you would make that association, like we're all so shallow that we don't like someone just because they might be good looking.

Roxycc55 · June 2014

I am always mobile, and therefore never see siggys. I have no clue what Stargirl actually looks like, just that she's obnoxious IMO. And this comes from someone who once won total AW on a board.

You can like her all you want. She is a pretty lady - But the bolded is utterly ridiculous.

jennyhatt · June 2014

I am also on mobile. My confession #2 is that I don't know what a siggy is. I keep thinking cigarette when I hear it and I'm not even a smoker.

SparksAZ · June 2014

What I got out of this:

Totally going to say "you just think I'm pretty" every time someone disagrees with me.

And, @luciddreamer106 -- Just for you

Sometimes I tell my hubby that I'm nauseas so I can lay down and no one will bother me. But really I am just tired but it doesn't get much sympathy.... So I use my symptoms when they may not exactly be there at that moment. (Head down in shame)

soooo….. I may have done this pretty much every night this week.

Thanks @luciddreamer106‌ I didn't mind the title then, but now that I see what real AW looks like I'm kind of grossed out.

JerseyHopeful · June 2014

I swore after a year of trying that ended in a loss I would be SO THANKFUL to have a successful pregnancy that I wouldn't get upset about not feeling well. My confession is that was aparently a BIG FAT LIE. I have felt pretty awful for nearly two months and it's sucking the life out of me. I complain at least once a day to my SO. I have been mega useless at work and at home. I am praying it comes to an end soon and I can have a couple of weeks of feeling ok before I'm huge and miserable again. I feel so guilty for hating being pregnant after how hard we tried and how much I wished for this baby.

kayham12 · June 2014

I also feel guilty about not being so excited about the pregnancy. It's something we worked so hard for but it is causing severe anxiety, something I never had before.

My family calls the baby "nugget butt" which is a little differnet, but we call it it or the baby.

I unfortunately always have huge boobs 36DDD pre pregnancy and shopping for bras sucks. The best ones I have found are at Kohls, they aren't too expensive. Any brand that comes in that size is good IMP.

aerotigergirl · June 2014

My confession is bra related: The underwire was killing me. So I bought two bras with no underwire. I have big ones even outside of pregnancy, so I definitely need the heavy duty support. But I just couldn't handle the damn underwire for another day, even in a larger size. Comfy bras with little support for the win?

Another confession: I always think of a great gif or youtube clip to post too late! Like, when you're in an argument and then it ends and then you're all "ooooh, I should have said XYZ!!!!" I had a great one for the (do I dare mention this thread again?) toddler/restaurant thread yesterday. But it was too late. And besides, I'm not sure I know how to post a gif anyway.

JerseyHopeful · June 2014

@emmyg65‌ thank you I think I really needed to hear that. It's been a hard 8weeks filled with lots of guilt.

caraleeb · June 2014

We are on a tight budget but I lied to my hubby about how much i spent on maternity clothes last night at old navy, but the sales were just too good!

TXUltraRunner · June 2014

I confess, I hate myself because I'm pretty.

umm I have been very close to doing this a few times now. One time I thought for sure I actually had. I have to force myself to wake up and go to the bathroom, sometimes multiple times a night. Dont feel bad, shit happens

longcat07 · June 2014

i actually have a confession...i've been trying to motivate myself to get off the couch and run some errands since 10am. the barfy feeling is way worse today than it's been the entire pregnancy so far. isn't it supposed to be getting better at this point (11w and change)? i mean, it didn't get better till 14 or 15w with DS, but it didn't keep getting worse either. :-&

edit: typo

Oh hunny thats nothing just wait

More than once at the end of my pregnancy i just couldnt make it, and i was WIDE AWAKE! lol I actually asked them to keep my catheder in after i had my son because the freedom of not peeing every 20 minutes was the most amazing thing ever lol

idontevenknow · June 2014

A commercial on my Pandora just mentioned "mashed potatoes" (literally, that was all I could hear)... and now I am dying for some...with white gravy. A country fried steak next to that wouldn't hurt. OMG... that's gonna have to be what is for dinner.

LadyXaverian · June 2014

We called DD our "little blob" before she was born because that's what she looked like on her 1st U/S. We called this one "blob" at first now, but more recently, s/he has been "the parasite" since I feel sick 24/7. Not terribly endearing nick names, I know.
