FFFC anyone?

Spill em!

MollyHooper · July 2014

I really want a service rooster.

H and I are celebrating our 5 year anniversary this year. I really want to go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Without the kids.

FFFC: Everyone keeps talking about lightning crotch... and I have no idea what they're talking about or what it feels like.

Like being stabbed in the vagina from the inside.

I'm dying to go to the Harry Potter thing. I may or may not be trying to convince my mom and dad to take a big family vacation with this kid and my niece and nephew just so I can go.

We actually were planning on taking DS in October before we found out about the baby.The plan was to take DS so my parents could see if my niece and nephew would actually enjoy it (DS loves thrill rides...nice and nephew dont). Now DS has to wait for another big Florida trip till LO is 5 then we'll do the big Disney trip and hopefully squeeze in universal studios and maybe lego land.

lookame3639 · July 2014

I'm 33 weeks and everyday I think of situations in which I stand up and my water just breaks out of nowhere. I keep getting told baby is lined up to go and I feel her headdown pretty low (it's sore where her head is). It freaks me out some...

kaitm22 · July 2014

I am really hoping I get some actually useful presents at my shower tomorrow instead of more clothes. I get that everybody likes the fun stuff, but I think it would be fun if someone put a first-aid kit together for us. I know we have beat the shower and gifts thing to death, but that really is my confession. If we don't get a few of the more needed things on our registry we have a BIG shopping trip we need to go on very soon.

poofwok · July 2014

I agree with the shower thing. I had mine last week and got more clothes then anything else. While I appreciate them ( I certainly didn't need them, can you say hand me downs), I wish ppl would respect the registry a little more. This weekend, SO and I are off to buy what we're missing. Which is quite a bit.

I'm wearing flip flops to the office....and we are not the sort of office where that is OK. But they have a cute little rhinestone things at the top.
I'm at the give-up point. Shoes are too damn hot.

I've been wearing flops since the first trimester. I gave up along time ago. My confession is that I am looking forward to dressing up again. I feel like a hobo in my tight maternity clothes!

+RBL+ · July 2014

I really hope this LO comes while my family is away on vacation. All of my siblings (plus SOs & children) and my parents live within 5 miles of us and still vacation together. I love them all but they drive me nuts so it would be nice to know that they will not be rushing over immediately.

The down side to this scenario, I don't know what we would do with DS if this actually happens. I guess we would end up bringing him to the hospital with us and he would be there for the delivery. That part is certainly not ideal.

I pulled the "I'm growing you a human card" last night to get the dinner I wanted. With the contractions and everything I was experiencing I thought it might be my last meal before LO arrived but everything settled down after I ate! Whoops I should have saved that card....

I feel like you can use that card until you give birth. Then you can use the "I just gave birth, let me do what I want" card for a few weeks.

mislogis · July 2014

I'm sitting on my couch watching Today show, drinking coffee, while my dd's are at swim and tennis lessons with the sitter. I should be working. I should be getting ready (ie shower) and yet, here i am. Bumping. And the group singing (5th harmony I think?) was absolutely terrible.

haliebabyx3 · July 2014

H and I are going this weekend on one a last trip before LO is here. The past two times we have gone to the beach for the weekend we have went with others and it wasn't that fun. Especially when we rode with someone, because then we had to do what they wanted to do. So, it's going to be nice that it's just H and I. The one time we went, we went with my best friend, she texted me yesterday asking what we were planning on doing this weekend. I was really hoping she wasn't going to be going to the beach too and wanting to meet up. I know that sounds awful, I just want it to be H and I though.

Valancyy · July 2014

I made a blueberry dessert yesterday (like a coffee cake kind of). Anyway...it was so good! I may have actually scooped up the crumbs from my son's plate and eaten them before I put it in the dishwasher.

shaylagirl · July 2014

I'm "jealous" (not in that bad way..maybe more "envious"?) of you ladies who are further along; even if it's just a week ahead.

I'm OVER this pregnancy bull caa-caa. It's so unfun.

Last night was the first night I've slept in our bed in about 2 or 3 weeks. Sheer misery when I woke up in the middle of the night to go pee, and this morning when it was time to get up. But, DH was just happy I shared the bed with him, soooo...yay for him?

I kinda missed my recliner. Ugh.

Also, DH 'volunteered' us to watch 2 dogs of his friend's, and by that I mean ME since he works all weekend, needs to study and sleep. OUR two dogs aren't happy. His two dogs are crated. AND, it's just all around uncool. I TRIED to tell him "Not a good idea"...except I wasn't fast enough and he agreed. Just...UGH. The two dogs are very nice, but none of the dogs are really "playing" nice with one another, so all 4 are just super stressed out, which is stressing ME out, and...just...DO!NOT!LIKE!!

CanadianintheSouth · July 2014

My confession... I peed in the pool while swimming laps the other night. I wish I could say it was an accident, but it would gave taken me so long to get out and go to the locker room to pee that I just decided it wasn't worth it. That's why the pool is chlorinated right? Alright, off to go get some donuts, because you know I dreamed about them last night.

shevaCC · July 2014

All my dreams this pregnancy have involved my ex-BF who I haven't even seen since 2000. Nothing steamy and exciting, they're usually involving us hunting around for an out-of-the-way place to get it on but then I wake up before we find one or before we get there. Frustrating, but also kinda weird that he keeps popping up.

BabyM82714 · July 2014

BF is bitchy about how much money is in our savings...and I knew he would continue to be....sooooo I thought I would go back a month and add up his careless spends...yeah so not happy. If he even tries to bitch I'll be throwing that card at him. I hate money, and I hate money fights. We have plenty in savings and we will make it through just fine.

Edit: I also, despite knowing our money fights currently, pulled the pregnant card and got take out because it sounded good. I think it was my first real craving. Like I was throwing a fit. So I'm pretty sure I would have died without it and needed KFC, yup pregnant card.

jamjoyful · July 2014

DD has been struggling with bedtime lately. I'm talking two hours of fighting with her to stay in bed. Last night, I pretended to fall asleep on the couch so DH would have to put her to bed. It worked for about twenty minutes until she started calling for me to come help her sleep.

rockyrollgirl · July 2014

I feel like I am less active on both TB and FB, but I am blaming that more on the move.

My shower is tomorrow and I'm already planning on having to spend a chunk of money on things we need. Which, honestly, wouldn't be such a big deal if I could have purchased things over these last 8 months like I wanted/originally planned. I kept being lectured on buying things before my shower and how if I did that there would be nothing left for people to buy me so I've held off. Now we're 5 weeks out and it feels like I'm going to have to spend ALL the money to buy ALL the things and not even be able to wait and get good deals on things when I find them on clearance and such.
----quote fail---- Is this a location thing? I've never gone to a shower and NOT bought off the registry. I don't recall going to showers where this happens either. My shower consisted of 99% of my registry and maybe 20 outfits.

Well I didn't get much from my registry and I really didnt get a lot of clothes. It felt like I was opening gifts forever but when I got home it really didn't amount to much (not trying to sound whiney but it was a little disappointing) but a lot of people had other things going on that day. I also don't want people to think I was expecting others to buy all my baby's needs, I just got about everything I needed at my wedding shower and then got hardly anything at my baby shower, it was just surprising is all. But between my mother, grandmother, and myself my baby has all she needs. Now my cousin is in the process of adopting a baby and we are having a shower for her this weekend and I've looked at her registry and she's already got more off her registry then what I have. Its hard to look at it and not get disappointed but I'm trying to keep a positive attitude towards everything, my baby is taken care of and my cousin is getting what she needs and that's just what I have to keep telling myself.

I didn't think I was that hungry until I went to grab another piece of the personal pizza I had for lunch and realized I had eaten it all while catching up on this thread.

I went to McDonald's for pancakes this morning. They accidently gave me 2 orders of them. I may or may not have eaten almost all of both orders...

Raclla · July 2014

Cupcake for breakfast.

I've given up.

slippintrippn84 · July 2014

I drank a diet wild cherry pepsi with my lunch. Partially b/c I wanted it (I haven't had much soda during my pregnancy) and partially b/c I need LO to wiggle around a little bit more than he has been. I feel him move, but not like it used to be. It may directly be work stress related though. He's a good mover on the weekends.

Second FFFC: I want to get rid of DH's dog. I want to keep mine, but his needs to go back to the rescue he got her from. She's stubborn and doesn't listen to me, she's high energy, she sheds fur ALL THE TIME, like year round) making house keeping an absolute nightmare. I shudder to think that I will have to put the baby on the floor eventually.
This morning she stood up on her back legs, front paws on the counter to elevate herself to the point where she could lick something off the surface. Right in front of me. WTF dog. I am mortified to think of what she does when we're at work.
She steals my underwear out of the laundry basket overnight or after I undress to take a shower and then "eats" out the crotch of them. WTF dog!! I NEED those.
I don't think DH has done his due diligence training her, grooming her, and making sure she is exercised enough to stay calm and out of trouble. Those things end up falling to me and I really don't have the capacity to deal with.
I've asked about this before and he says if one dog goes, they both go, which is not going to happen.
She has her redeeming moments, but she really needs to be given the time and attention that she needs.

vk2204 · July 2014

Yesterday while sitting in my office chair, I went to tuck one of my legs underneath the other. I failed and almost fell out of the chair in the process. I had to grab my leg to get it up there. Someone was sitting in my office with me the whole time.

Today, I am again sitting in my office chair - this time with a mini fan on the floor blowing up my maxi skirt because I am Sweaty Betty.

babypants11 · July 2014

My sprinkle is on Sunday (also my birthday) and I'm sooooo excited. I resisted the idea for so long, but now I can't wait. I think my mom bought me the gorgeous wrap I've been drooling over. I'm going to wear this little boy so much.

Also, I most definitely have a carrier/baby wearing gear addiction.

alphaxi614 · July 2014

I ran out of toilet paper in the middle of the night, around 3am. I was not going to get more from where we keep it and there wasn't an extra role on the back of the toilet. Pretty sure I got up 4 more times after that to pee, and there was no TP. There still won't be any when I get home because H will just use a different bathroom. Whey can't someone invent TP that refills automaticly?

A lot of stuff didn't disappear off our registry until they day of the shower. Then H's family realized it was the shower and all ordered stuff for us to pick up at the store. *shakes head* We also had a friend who had a baby 6 months ago, their present was 2 things off our registry we didn't get and needed, super nice!

What bugged me most was the people who went out of their way to buy stuff not on the registry because their daughter/niece/friend liked this one. I don't care if they liked those sheets or that carrier, I did my research and put the ones I like on my registry. Also all the freaking hats and bibs!! How many do I really need? I returned stuff and got the things I wanted and didn't feel guilty about it. You shouldn't eaither.

shevaCC · July 2014

@Ck61, breastfeeding SUCKS in the beginning so don't feel bad at all! Their mouths are so tiny (even full-term, but especially preemies) and everything is sore. Engorgement, sore/bloody nipples, and that's even with no additional problems like poor latch, plugged ducts, mastitis.

But...it really does get better for most women. I've heard 6 weeks for most women. For me it was even a bit earlier, but DD was full-term. Keep up the good fight if that's what you choose -- it's been a wonderful 2 year relationship for DD and me and those rough first weeks fade into distant memory very quickly. I wish you a similarly positive experience no matter how long you choose to nurse for. At the very least, I hope you're able to continue or not on your own terms. Let me know if there's anything I (or other STMs) can do, questions we can answer for you. You're doing great!

shevaCC · July 2014

@vk2204, thanks for the laugh. I can picture myself doing exactly that and although I have my own office, I face a giant window onto the hallway where coworkers regularly walk by. I hope today is a better day!

MandMLeona · July 2014

I have passed into the crazy-lady-thinks-she's-having-a-baby-for-no-reason zone. In my defense, I have very fast labors with few to no symptoms, and my DH works 90 minutes away. Yesterday I was nesting like crazy...odd but I was ok with that until I realized I suddenly had the energy to do the nesting. We're talking multiple trips up and down the stairs with laundry, shifting boxes...all the stuff I did the day DD1 was born. I had no nesting with DD2. I'm only 34 weeks, so we certainly don't want this to happen yet, but now we're both so paranoid I don't know how I'm going to accomplish anything for the next 3 weeks.

It has been so long since DH and I have been intimate, that I am starting to have sex dreams about him...

Love him to death, but he is the reason we aren't having sex so why can't I dream of Ryan Gosling or Hugh Laurie (yes, he is my strange older man crush)?

There's a reason I'm watching "House" on Netflix right now.

If DH thinks pregnant women aren't sexy...well...I am 100% CONFIDENT that Hugh Laurie thinks I'm a hella hottie right now. Swollen feet, pregnancy farts and pregnancy poops and all.

And, everytime DH not-so-subtly asks for a "helping hand", I just play stupid about the whole thing. Look buddy, you're not willing to help a girl out, I'm not willing to help you out either. You know where I keep the lube. Enjoy!!! LOL!!!

What about hiring a professional trainer to work with her?

I had a dog that had dog aggression issues (I rescued her as a senior dog). The trainer got her leaps and bounds from when I first got her, plus she became an awesome dog to have around the house.

And, my Doxie is a crotch-eater and used-pad-dumpster-diver. That pisses my DH off to no end. I just tell him if he'd take the trash out, we wouldn't HAVE those issues. That or leave our bedroom door closed. But he always forgets, the dog gets in to the trash, DH starts yelling, and the cycle repeats. Exhausting.

MandMLeona · July 2014

@slippintrippn84 ... really watch her around the new baby. She already thinks she's higher in the pecking order than you. You don't want her trying to prove the same thing with your little one. And don't assume that because she is ok in the early stages that all is fine. Our old dog didn't have issues until DD started spending time on the floor everyday.

Exactly how I spent this week: spending ALL the money to buy ALL the things. We got almost nothing from the registry. At least I could use the completion discount, but 10% off only gets you so far.

FI has been asking me to "help him" (only he says it more bluntly) when I ask him to rub my back at night. I just look at him and tell him there's 40 extra pounds in my belly he put there he better f-ing rub my back and push that fluid that has pooled in my feet and ankles back toward my heart. Idk if he's really feeling the attraction towards me, he still says I'm beautiful but I don't think he's willing to get intimate to have the baby kick him...and I'm not willing to get all riled up for him to freak out in the heat of the moment...

We keep Charmin wipes on the back of the toliet. I just used those and then just went back to bed. Normally i would use tissues but we were also out of those....

Underwear crotch eating dog here too. We have to keep the laundry door closed or panties will be pulled through the slots of the hamper. At least he doesn't dumpster dive... Unless a garbage bag is left out. Those are open game. My FFFC is that I'm irrationally paranoid about my acid reflux breath. I see people touching their noses and assume it's bc they can smell that puke is in my throat.

Want a personalized experience?

FFFC anyone?
