FFFC

Maelara · August 2014

Lets hear it!

Remember, these are not truly flame free!

Maelara · August 2014

It's cold and raining here. So Tali is wearing socks but I'm not!

Kristy774 · August 2014

I have a really bad cold and I'm quite certain DH got off the phone with me this morning because I kept blowing my nose when we were on the phone.

This is a FFFC and a TMI Tuesday in one. For those who don't like TMI Tuesday please look away now.

I had diarrhea yesterday and it was one of the best feelings in the world. I felt completely cleansed for the first time in months. I wish I could remember what I ate so that I could do it again.

mockingjay1 · August 2014

I get overly annoyed when people post extremely attention whorey posts and people don't call them out on it. I get even more annoyed when they do get called out on it and someone tries to white night the OP, especially if it's a reg.

Disclaimer: I might be extra grumpy right now because I had to fast for some blood work to check my liver this am (due to the itching and rash) and right after that I had to do my glucose test. Waiting to get my blood drawn now... 20 more minutes.

If you remember please let me know. I could use a good cleaning out!

Yes. My tolerance for this has gone way down. Maybe it's just me being grumpy, but it seems to have increased lately.

Kristy774 · August 2014

@dmo1371‌ hope everything checks out ok with your liver and that thy get something yummy to eat after your appointment!

This is a really tame one: when I first joined the bump, I thought AW posts ment "aww", like "cute". (example: AW my kid's Halloween costume)

I wish I knew, seriously. I felt like singing afterwards.

I woke up this morning in a puddle of colostrum- the sheet underneath me was visibly wet. I put a pillow over it and went back to sleep.

WHY IS THIS NOT HAPPENENING?! Chalk it up to everyone being different I guess but everyone KU chick I talk to talks about how they've been leaking and etc...I got nothin' over here but some giant discolored boobies.

I'm not leaking and I too am mystified, leaking seems to be a common occurrence! I keep expecting to spontaneously leak but I never leaked with my first two pregnancies. If I end up leaking sometimes between now and birth, I need to get my ass over to the store and get some waterproof mattress cover before I destroy my mattress. Yikes.

runningmama14 · August 2014

I had a mall errand to run over lunch, so I decided to eat at the attached Noodles. I was being a good girl and ordered a small bowl. It was too small and now I'm contemplating a slice of pizza from the food court.

I also have very dry giant dark aerolas. TBH I'm okay with that because if they insist on looking like a stranger's nipples at least they aren't wetting the bed!

TBH, I'm not planning on breast feeding so maybe it's good? Maybe I'm just permanently all dried up by the grace of God ;-)

Sarahbeth612 · August 2014

It's DH's bday weekend. I'm getting a massage while he rips up carpet. Happy bday DH!

I'll probably bake him a cake though. Because birthday cake.

I am not leaking yet either. In fact, other than my areolas getting a little bit larger and darker, my boobs have not responded at all to this pregnancy. While I am glad I don't have the sensitivity that many of you have, I am missing the pregnancy cleavage. My SIL gave me a lot of hand-me-down maternity clothes. I cannot wear anything remotely low cut because I do not have the cleavage to fill it out

I just keep telling myself that it is not a sign that I will have trouble with BFing/milk supply, but I do worry.

mussalynn · August 2014

I'm a terrible mother - DS has been excruciatingly cranky, runny nose, diarrhea/diaper rash, not eating, drooling etc for over a week. I figured it was teething, as he is legitimately working on a molar right now. I finally took him to the doctor the other day and turns out he has ear infections in both ears.... OMG I feel like the worst mother ever.

And to add a WTF on top of it, my friend and my SIL were all like "you're not a bad mother, it's so hard to diagnose ear infections, you did everything you could, etc etc", super supportive, what does my own mother say? "well there goes your mother of the year award..." Thanks mom.

I have literally never gif'd before, so bear with me if this flops, but this is all I could think of while reading your FFFC/TMI combo...

We just got back from an US and when they were looking at LO's brain, it reminded me of oatmeal.

Then I got hungry and when we came home I ate some oatmeal (with blueberries, yumm). Does this make me like a mommy Hannibal? I hope not :-SS

You're so not a bad mommy! Those are ALL signs of teething, you could not have known it was a double ear infection.

Ladies, ladies, stop worrying about leakage! I leaked last time and I had issues BFing. I'm leaking this time too (and my boobs miraculously went up almost 2 sizes) so we will see! Leakage means nothing

absolutelymaybe · August 2014

I threw some side eye at the chick who posted earlier this week wanting to get on disability for RLP because she is "tiny boned" and it is too hard to pick up the child she nannies for (but it would be OK if she had a second child because she'll be used to it by then). Yeah, no. Pregnancy is hard, but there are other solutions to that problem. Disability is for people who have serious complications and can't work.

I hope she doesn't get her disability. Yeah, I said it.

abbyful · August 2014

Re: Leaking - I didn't leak at all when pregnant with DS, and I had no shortage of milk. (I pumped twice a day at work, easily got 5+ oz per side at each session.)

I never leaked prior to DS's birth and had no trouble BF.

Not leaking this time either (and happy about it, what a pain.. Breast pads, cleaning up sheets, no thanks - I'll wait)

silverwings72 · August 2014

I'm not leaking yet and I'm glad. I am not looking forward to that part of pregnancy.

hiketheworld · August 2014

I think the N14 chat board has too many posts each day. I've basically given up trying to stay involved. I just don't have time for that these days.

mamatohne · August 2014

Doesn't everyone buy a king size snickers bar at 11:00 in the morning the day the doctor tells you that you do not have gd? And a twix?

smboswell1 · August 2014

Fast food makes my tummy so upset. It's probably a sign I should stop eating it. Nope.

NLJ82 · August 2014

My confession is that I don't care about these patients There...I said it.

To elaborate, I DO actually care about the people who are actually sick and needing attention but I work in the office. I'm not a nurse, I have no idea who you are, I don't know why youre here (unless you tell me), BUT...of course...I'm the one who gets yelled at when the providers are running behind. I always say "I don't know what's taking so long, but I'll go get the nurse now" & when they go back in their room...I proceed to sit at my desk and say nothing because I have not the energy to run back to the nurses station to report every complaint. If they're not on top of their jobs...that's their fault. I just would like everyone to shut up...and pie. I'd love some pie.

I thought it meant "Attention Whore" ;-)

Mine for the day is that we bought my annoying 11 year old niece books for her birthday. Her mom (my SIL) a long time ago made a rule that no one in DH's family was allowed to buy the girl any books because heaven forbid my MIL and FIL buy the kid a Christian book (my SIL hates Xians - she likes me better than the rest of the family because I'm Pagan. She's a negative and difficult human being). We bought my niece books because 1) My SIL loves me and I can get away with it. The real confession part of this is I think my niece will hate the books but I don't care because it's less useless cheap junky toys to fill her bedroom and their house (I'm judgey, it's awful!)

jlove253 · August 2014

I've been reading birth stories on the other bmbs and every time I get to the end and read "baby is nursing like a champ" or "latched on like a champ" I roll my eyes. I don't know why this expression bothers me so much, but I find it so cliché. Half the time I don't believe the poster (just in a "you could so easily be lying" sense) and half the time I think "that's what most babies d; don't call them a champ".

Seriously, I don't know why the expression annoys me so much.

OMG I feel like the worst mother ever.

All of DD's ear infections have been diagnosed at her "well-child" visits. She's probably had a ton, but I've always chalked the symptoms up to teething, a cold, or just being cranky. She has perfect hearing, so I figure no harm done!

My confession: we've started putting the cat outside for a bit when she poops outside of her litterbox (the cat is up-to-date on shots, microchipped, and flea treated; plus, she hasn't figured out how to leave the yard). We had to do it yesterday in front of DD. She immediately asked if the cat was in time out. We said yes, and that it was because the kitty had pooped on the floor and we don't do that. I'm pretty sure she now believes that pooping on the floor gets you thrown outside. I'm not going to discourage that thought because we're potty training.

Wow, this post makes ME sound like mother of the year!

Ok in not sure if this is a FFFC or TMI Tuesday...I apparently put my panties on backwards today, sadly I didn't realize until around 7:30 tonight. Ohhhh the joys of zero vagibility.

silverwings72 · August 2014

@FirstBabyDoyle‌ - "zero vagibility" Bahahahahahahaaaa! Love it.

mussalynn · August 2014

Thanks @Maelara, @dr_pr and @lissydee! I know in the rational side of my brain that he's totally fine, it's the mommy guilt side of my brain that was getting the better of me...! He's slowly getting better (i.e. less cranky, thank goodness), and actually seems to like his sugary bubble gum flavoured antibiotics, which makes my life a whole lot easier!

@FirstBabyDoyle‌ I have to ask... Did you put them on inside out or actually backwards, because I can't imagine having them on backwards all day and not realizing it. Either way, thanks for the laugh!

Literally wore them backwards-all day ...granted they are the tag less Hanes comfortfit boy short variety. I was pretty shocked by the discovery myself. I think I've just gotten used to being pretty uncomfortable in that region at this point that I didn't even notice. SMH.

At least they were boy shorts. When DD was little, I wore a thong backwards all day and didn't notice until bedtime. That was embarrassing!
