FFFC 12/5

Let's here them ladies

redheaded14 · December 2014

My confession: DH and I spent way too much time trying to figure out what it means to be "basic" this week. Never have I ever felt so out of touch.

I took this picture at my birthing class just to make all the pink starburst lovers jealous that I got two pinks in my 2-pack.

Fair warning--my FFFC is also a bit of a TMI: As you ladies know, pregnancy tends to lead to an increase in discharge. When my H and I are "getting affectionate" with each other, he interprets this as me being reeeeally turned on. I don't (and won't ever) let him know that's not quite the case. But honestly, that'd be quite a mood killer for me to say, "Not really, honey, it's just because I'm pregnant." But I'll let him think whatever he'd like to make himself feel better! Hahaha

My husband thinks the same thing. I guess it's an ego boost so I go with it.

Best as we can tell, it's something like this:
Do you like yoga?

Do you like Pumpkin Spice Lattes?

Do you OMG luuuurve Taylor Swift?

Do you love Chilpotle? Do you ever call it Chilpots?

If you, so might be basic.

Like I said, we were trying to figure it out. I'm not sure that we understand. Kids these days.

I am out of touch. I would have thought basic would be living simply wothout Tv and cell phones and technology.

Yesterday at work I had a hot chocolate, a donut, two cookies, a piece of cheesecake and half of a chocolate-chocolate chip muffin in addition to my lunch. A very shameful, yet delicious, meal diary entry.

My confession is kind of lame: I'm starting to feel like a bad mom already. I'm a FTM and I don't keep up with my "weekly bump pics," or make them look cute using a photo app to label them, I haven't done anything remotely close to making a baby book, I hate the feeling of movement, and I'm just all around apprehensive rather than excited about all of the life changes coming my way.

None of this is making you a bad mom, so don't feel like it. Pregnancy is a weird time. Just wait until LO gets here, you'll definitely feel differently.

I feel the same way. Movements honestly weird me out.

Yeah, I sorta felt bad about not doing the weekly belly pics...I totally thought I'd be into that pre-preganancy. MS made me not give a shit about anything, and once it left at 15 weeks I decided not to worry about it!

I'm super excited about the baby, but my confession (and I know a few other ladies here feel similar) is that I truly do NOT like being pregnant. It's uncomfortable, makes getting dressed a PITA, and every week there's some new symptom trying to make me miserable. Even the movement isn't cute yet...still just feels like gas bubbles in the wrong place that are getting stronger every week.

I cannot wait until April.

If it is of any comfort, I did not keep up with a lot of the "squee!! FTM!!!!!!!" stuff with DD. That is not who I am. Becoming a mother molds you in many ways, but it does not change who you are at your core. Caving to "Pinterest pressure" to do things a certain way during pregnancy really doesn't do your kids any favors - because it doesn't stop after pregnancy. And if it's not who you are, eventually you will give up on doing all of those unnecessary frilly things anyway. And if you do them all for your first kid and not your second, that's a big ole dick move IMO.

I completely understand you! Everyone is always asking, "OMG?!?! How excited are you?! Eeeeeek..." It takes all of my self control not to roll my eyes and walk away. I end up just doing a cheesy smile and nodding my head. I've just never really get "that" excited.

NoraMia · December 2014

My confession is: I cannot stand my BIL. He is so annoying, he's extremely vain and has this "but I'm better than everyone" way to respond to questions. He also like to give you that patronizing look ughhh! so annoying! He makes it seem that he doesn't shop at sales or wears non-brand clothes but its all an act. I think this is most annoying, like for who are you putting on this show?

ally3242 · December 2014

I never thought I would have a slight excitement about being on pelvic rest. But DH wants to romp all of the time and I don't have the energy for it, it does not feel good to me, when I'm pregnant and in general, I am just not feeling it. I also had a friend suggest that I give him some oral action. And that grosses me the F out...so I'm also really glad I can't breathe through my nose.

I never understand when girls are like "even if you don't want to do stuff...just give your man some oral!" If I'm not getting anything out of it, I don't really want to. I'm not his personal dickmouth.

Agreed. Sexy time is a two way street.

I'm with you on this as well. I already told H I'm so fucking done with this already at 23 weeks. I don't know if I want to have more children because pregnancy is such a restrictive time to me and I'm selfish. Maybe this LO will change my mind. I never even got morning sickness so I shouldn't complain...I just hate not being able to drink all of the alcohol or coffee I want, not being able to wear the clothes I want to wear, and being uncertain of if I'll ever be able to wear them again.... or just having to wear pants in general right now. I despise it.

This is me 100%. I know this is a bad excuse but I'm an only child, on my mom's side, raised only by my mom. I never really had to share all my time and attention lol. As an adult now in the workforce, I've learned more and more but I really don't like all the restrictions pregnancy brings. Hopefully, when this LO gets here that will change.

My daughter who has wanted a haircut for a while took it upon herself this morning to start it herself. My DH and I are pretty mad at her cause we've been telling her she couldn't have one cause her hair is long and pretty. But I have no choice but to cut it really short and I'm actually relieved cause I'm lazy and I'm tired of dealing with her hair. But I'll never tell my DH that.

I think we all did this at one time. Maybe give here layers instead of cutting it really short..

This list also enrolls one in the "typical white girl" category, according to my students.

Also....If you're wearing leggings as pants, a short t-shirt/tank/crop top with your hair in a top knot, you might be basic.

Fuck.

Does 2/3 still make me basic?

Can I amend this to state that if you do ANY of these things while pregnant, it does not make you basic? ;-)

I think the week 23 fruit ticker picture of a grapefruit looks like a giant anus and everytime I see it on someones signature I associate them with the anus fruit.

I'm 23 weeks today so I had to take a peek at that and you're right. Totally looks like an anus. I'll also add that the top point for this week was that baby is forming nipples right now, so there's that.

This morning I accused DH of trying to ruin my day because he went to the store to get me a donut and came back with a cupcake instead. I've become a monster.

I also accused DH of ruining my day this morning. He was dragging ass and did not help get DS ready for school. I was 2 min late to work and was a bitch the whole drive to work this morning. Then, 10 min later, the ass shows up to the office with a hot chocolate and cheese danish.

ETA: I did NOT apologize.

H is trying to be a vegan and I am mostly supportive and try not to be a bad influence. But last night after eating dinner at a vegan place I made him take me to Chikfila because I was still so hungry. Then I wouldn't let him have any of my chicken nuggets. I told him it was for his own good. But I really wanted all my nuggets!

mrsalvidrez · December 2014

A few things... (Do I get a few or am I only supposed to only have one?)

#1: I just want to get rid of my house. I think I've mentioned this before. There is a plumber here today trying to help us out but it's worthless. We weren't planning on having kids while we lived here and I just want rid of my house, but I can't sell the stupid thing until this plumbing issue is fixed! (Which seems like it's going to cost me a lot of money I don't necessarily have at the moment).

#2: people keep saying "you're so tiny" and "your little belly is so cute" and I know I'm not very large for 22 wks, but I feel like I'm going to explode. Seriously, thinking about possibly doubling in size over the next 14-18 wks is giving me anxiety because idk if I can get any bigger. Apparently to the naked eye I can, but to me everything already feels so tight. Going along with this I too have been so crumby at taking bump pics (haven't taken a single one). Always imagined myself as someone who would do a cute one every week, but here we are over 1/2 way through the pregnancy and nope.

------------------------------------ The hot chocolate and cheese Danish would make it all okay in my book. : )

Haha. "Personal dickmouth" = ded. I'm a strange one and actually like giving MH oral. Maybe it is because he is so patient and NEVER asks for anything sexual. I like to surprise him, like the other day when I warmed jelly and liked it off him. I get a thrill from making him feel good and then a gloat to him about what a good wife I am.

You're a better wife than I. I'm not licking anything off of anyone or their dingaling.

@NoraMia‌ It is an awful and awesome change all in one. Multiple middle of the night feedings are exhausting. But, watching your little angel fall back asleep in your arms is truly amazing. Sometimes, you think you should nuzzle them and kiss their cheek, but then realize that only crazy people wake up a sleeping baby.

That doesn't sound so bad... Thanks so much for this response, seeing it from this point of view doesn't freak me out

I'm doing a terrible job in my attempts to limit my caffeine to 300mg a day. As I'm in the middle of a cup of coffee or tea I realize I don't even know how much I've had already. It's probably fine...

I cut out caffeine completely when we were TTC. Now, when I am with friends/family and order something decaf, I constantly get a lecture about how it's okay to drink caffeine. This is my choice, why do people have to be assbags and give their opinion about everything?

mary62108 · December 2014

I have worn the same bra for 5 days in a row. I'll wash it this weekend because I only have one that fits right now. It's a nursing bra I wore post pregnancy with DD and now I can fit into it at 19 weeks. I can only imagine how huge my knockers are going to get this time.

I did this too while ttc. And I'm craving a good cup of coffee, more for the taste then the caffiene. And no pop. Which doesn't bother me anymore. And I've been given the lecture as well that one cup or can won't hurt me but what's the point of quitting if I go down that slippery slope again?

Suesse2009 · December 2014

The only thing in my 3 year old's baby book is the set of footprints they did in the delivery room. I am on medical leave for the remainder of my pregnancy so I am hoping to work on it :-) I don't have specific dates for firsts such as crawling but we have all of that in pictures or on video so I could figure it out.

I feel like I should also get one for the new baby we will see.

jc_twomamas · December 2014

This morning I had to eat my yogurt with a fork as it's my only piece of plastic wear left at work. Then I threw it in my cubical garbage forgetting I needed that fork for lunch.

Yes. I went back in the garbage and picked it out for my lunch. A girls gatta do what a girls gatta do to eat some food.

FTW- I DID wash it.

theinvadermothership · December 2014

Great confessions this week guys. Love them. Laughed so hard at the basic conversation. If anyone didn't get it, basic is when you're not unique. You're a stereotypical teen/young adult girl who does the same things other girls her age does. Usually associated with the common white girl. It's a silly insult bc i feel like most girls of a specific age do all kinda act the same/like the same things. [-(

My confession is my husband actaully gotten me into playing Destiny. I never thought I'd want to play a FPS and now i want to play and he's always on the PS4. Boo.

i haven't had sex since finding out i was pregnant. seriously this low to no sex drive is the pits. i'd love to jump hubby and just be into it but these lady bits are not cooperating whatsoever.

I could have said the same, but he initiated it a few nights ago. I think you should make it a goal to do it this weekend. It's good for the soul.

It's been pretty infrequent here too...especially during the MS. Now, I just don't feel like it and it's usually uncomfortable in some way.

I agree with PP...make a goal to do it. It doesn't have to be fantastic, but it will do both of you good, especially if you can both get off on it. It's in my list of things to do this weekend too.

EmmaSF · December 2014

I am not loving being pregnant with twins. My first pregnancy was fine- I wouldn't say it was the most glorious time of my life but it was what it was. With these two, it is way harder on my body, I feel so huge already and people are so interested in the fact that I am having twins that it is beginning to irritate me. I am excited for the babies and I want them to bake as long as possible but I have to admit that this kind of sucks.

This. This drives me insane.

My FIL asked if I wanted a little wine last time we were home, and I declined. Then he went on and on about how I could have a little, it's not a big deal, don't be so worried, yada yada yada.

Screw you, if I wasn't pregnant and said no you wouldn't think twice so let's not make it an issue now, k thanks.

Also, at this point, I don't want "a little" wine. I want to chug the bottle and do flaming shots.

topaz7777 · December 2014

FFFC: I don't take bump pictures. My mom keeps asking for them and I'm not taking them this time. Frankly I'd like to forget the whole being pregnant experience once LO is here and pretend it never happened. I'm not made for this...

Also, I did a baby book for DD and I'm totally not doing it for this one. I feel bad about it but I know full well that it will not happen.

i threw away the folder we got from the hospital with our take home paperwork and instructions and such... I realized months later that it had the newborn footprints in it

I'm still sad

That is sad

I thought I threw away DS's bassinet card when I threw away stuff from the hospital but I ended up finding it later. Those couple days where I thought I lost it were pretty sad
