FFFC

in January 2013 Moms
Looks like I'm the first one with a confession today - anybody want to join me?

I'm 11 weeks pregnant with #2 and DH thinks I'm abstaining completely from caffeine like I did last time. (He feels strongly that there should be no caffeine while pregnant or nursing.) So, I'm not having much, but about once a week I'll have a cup of coffee if it's going to be a particularly long day. This morning I brewed some half-caf by mixing the regular and decaf, and I must have put the wrong clips back on the bags. DH totally noticed and called me on it! I denied it but I'm sure he didn't buy it, and I'm fully expecting this to be a big discussion tonight, which I'm dreading. (I love DH, but he can be a bit fanatical.) Ugh... How could I have been so careless??

    when i go to target at lunch and see mom's there with their kids, or read posts here, or scan instagram, or see people posting on fb (esp during snowy days) of moms hanging out playing with their kids, i get totally jealous
    i didn't mind so much when she was a lump, but she's so much fun right now, that i hate being at work and i want to be able to run to the stores with her during the day and i want to be able to take her to the zoo or do crafts or play in the snow with her...
    i hate that i can't...i love my job, but i want to hang out with my kid....

    @MichieU79 no shaming you here--I watch it too. I don't necessary love them, but their drama is entertaining. 

    My guilty pleasure TV is General Hospital. Love me a good daytime soap!

    Also, totally gave DD an early Christmas present today. I ordered a Melissa & Dough cookie set thanks to @chilibeansm0m reminder of the Amazon sale and it came today. I couldn't resist. It's so cute and she needed something to occupy her time while I worked on Christmas cards. She LOVED it. Definitely going to provide hours of entertainment.

    I agree with PP that the OP deserves a cup of dang coffee.  It's not like you are guzzling gallons of espresso or doing crack.  We are exhausted on a regular day with a toddler, I can't imagine early pregnancy (or any time of pregnancy!) without a little caffeine!

    Mine is now that I LIKE my work/life balance.  I wish I worked a little less (I work 32 in a week) but I have found that being gone makes me a better mother.  I get boring and more frazzled with her if we have a long stretch of togetherness.  I adore my kid and she is an absolute blast but I think she gets sick of just me too!  Eespecially in the winter.  I run out of stuff for us to do or she is sick and we can't go places and then we just bored and snippy.  Having a daycare that is interactive saves both of us I think.  Even though both of us prefer each other I think it helps us to be apart. :)

    Oh and my second confession is that I have been a part of a 3 week fitness challenge with friends in which I can't eat certain things and I have been totally cheating.  We weigh in before and after and I am sure this will come back to bite me but 3 weeks without a diet pop or crackers is killing me. We are supposed to confess our slip ups but I am too embarassed to admit I can't hold off for only 3 weeks. :)

    Oh and yes, to comment on @Sep5Bride post---you have nothing to feel guilty about. I've been having tall (and sometimes, gasp, grande!) 1/2 caff lattes since I found out I was pregnant and plan on continuing to do so. If you look up the safety guidelines for pregnancy that is well within the healthy "ok" range. My mom drank a fully caffeinated cup of coffee every day when she was pregnant with me and I'm just fine (though I did inherit her coffee addiction!).

    It seems DH got flamed a bit instead of me! But really, I think the thing that will bother him about the coffee is that I was making the decision without him, when really it is OUR baby, not just mine. Plus we used to be on the same page. So I totally get it, but I still don't want to talk about it because I just want to do things my way.

    I didn't want to deal with MIL this week, so when she asked about Facetime on Wednesday night, I told her DD was already asleep. She was up and playing with blocks.

    In my defense, she's been wretched to us since she went back to FIL.

    I have a few!

    #1 - I totally took a nap today instead of working for an hour (I work from home). DS was up at 5 today and I was just so tired!

    #2 - I'm also going to stop working shortly and go get DS just so we can hang out. We are going to see lights tonight and out to dinner but I still want my mama time.

    #3 - I secretly love when DH has late nights. Though it's so much better now, DS is still a daddy's boy when H is around. When it's just me and him I get so much love and playtime - it's awesome!

    BFP #1: 05/2012 DS born 12/30/12

    BFP #2: 02/2014 Natural M/C 03/2014 @ 7 weeks

    BFP #3: 06/2014 EDD: 02/17/2015 M/C @ 7w2d, D&E 7/15/14
