    I do not want to be "her"... Whoever she is and I don't know how to edit mobile.
  • I am having a hard time thinking of a good FFFC. Mostly because I'm tired and lazy as all get out right now so I'm not exactly full-functioning, but I want to be her and participate. I guess my FFFC is that I don't mind the terms "prego"/ "preggers" one bit.

    I also use those terms, but I spell it preggo, lol

    Amen. At Christmas dinner SO MANY people kept asking me if I wanted anything to drink. I had a full drink. Andplusalso, if I wanted a drink, I would stand up and get one. One of my coworkers is constantly saying "but you can't do/have/eat/drink that, you're pregnant." And it's always the strangest things like he said I couldn't have a spicy taco at our work Christmas dinner. Yes I can. It was delicious and the raging heartburn was worth it.
    I HATE THAT! I know what I'm "allowed" to eat. Same thing here, it's usually when I'm eating something spicy. News alert: Baby Ourlastname LOVES spicy food (I assume).

  • I just took a bath an hour ago and still haven't gotten dressed
    No shame in that. I haven't showered yet today and I'm starting to smell myself...

  • @Tygandre‌ I used to love baths, and then I bought a 1962 house with a crappy tub and no vent, which means I have to open the window and freeze to prevent moisture buildup. I have high hopes of a remodel before DS arrives.
  • Not an FFFC but I didn't think this was worthy of its own thread. Khols maternity is on sale, buy one get one for a dollar and they have amazing clearance prices on baby/ toddler clothes. Outfits and separates for $2.
  • I got a massage for the first time today. It sucked! I mean it felt good most of the time but my muscles are so tight and messed up that it hurt a lot sometimes. Wasn't worth $65. Could have just gotten my hair done and limped out the salon the same way I limped in.

    The same thing happened to me a few days ago. I paid $75 for the worst massage ever.

    I hate massages! People get bug eyed when I say this, but I've had two professional massages and I don't see the hype. I might get one prenatal one later on, because while I usually hate the nail lady rubbing my back, I have loved it while pregnant. But not pregnant?? NO thank you to massages! (Unless you're my hubby)

  • I live and breathe for massages! I bust my ass and this is how I treat myself.

    However, I relax and dye my own hair with boxed products and get a supercuts cut every 3-6 months. I used to get mani pedis more frequently but since I can't paint my nails because of work they've lost their appeal. I probably get those as frequently as I cut my hair.

  • I miss baths right now. We're in the pre-remodel stage of getting a totally new bathroom and baths are out, however I am not certain I'd be able to get out of the tub by myself right now so that's probably a good thing! On the upside, I'll have a completely brand new bathroom in about a month! no more leaky faucet, uneven floor and freezing cold tiles!

    All my friends, co-workers and family keep telling me to get a prenatal massage but....Massages kinda make me more tense. I'm insanely ticklish, it took over 5 years for my DH to figure out how to rub my back or feet without me spasming into fits of laughter and flailing about like a fish out of water. 
    I'd love a good manicure and a facial though!

I thought I'd found the perfect movie that was a sequel to one of my favs and holiday themed. Turned out to be the saddest movie ever that had me ugly sobbing for at least an hour afterward. It also hit all of my sensitivities with the loss of my mom and fears that I may leave my kid motherless at a young age. The confession part is that I'm still kind of in a mood and I have zero patience for TB stupidity/nonsense posts/posters and have been letting my fingers express my anger for me. It's been well targeted so I'm not sorry but definitely not holiday spirited.

    You HAVE to be talking about the
    Best Man Holiday, right?! If you are, I am obsessed with it and lose it sobbing at certain parts everytime, but it is just too good to pass up.

  • I'm already trying to figure out how to get rid of some of the junk my in-laws bought us for Christmas. I really really wish they wouldn't spend on us at all since they get us the weirdest crap that we don't need and don't have room for.

    Sell it lol on Varagesale. ;)

    The crap isn't even worth the time or effort to try to put it on Varagesale. Honestly, it is total crap.
  • I love massages! My FFFC is that I had a massage today and I have no desire to wash of the remnants of the coconut oil because last night my skin was so itchy I cried myself to sleep. I just want to lather my self in coconut oil and sit naked. 

    Buy some on Amazon and slather yourself regularly! It's great for your skin. It's awesome for itchy third tri belly skin. It's great for your sore boobs when you're nursing because it's just food, your baby can eat it. It's handy to use on your baby's face when they get rashes, or on their butt. Because it's just coconut oil, not medicinal ointment, I feel okay putting it all over my baby's butt regularly when she's pooping a lot or whatever. If she's getting really red I break out the big guns (Desitin) but I use coconut oil a lot

    Get some to use at home, it's very handy!
    Coconut oil is great for cradle cap too. My DS had it so bad that we ended up using head & shoulders, but it got the dry flaky skin of off his forehead.
  • My fffc is that I had a SLIGHT stomach bug this morning but totally played it up to be much worse at work so I could go home and lay in bed all day. I feel like I should feel bad because we are really short staffed right now, but after they've been overworking me for the past few weeks I kinda feel I deserve a little bit of a break without the guilt.

    Oh my god , me too I am so sick of being treated like an invalid , not only did my SIL insist on carrying in Xmas presents for me but my work have decided to roster me on shifts where I will just stand in one spot all day serving customers , I can still do the job I was doing before ( I work in retail I used to be their top
    Merchandiser and stock replenisher) now to he place at the registers all day for the rest of my pregnancy while I'm working ... I'm ready to rage quit.
  • Oh and yesterday husband and I went out for lunch with his dad and his step mum , I may have eyed off some ice cream in an ice cream case and his father wAs standing there ready to take my order , I said I didn't want any thankyou and my husband was like " which one do you want " I may be pregnant but I don't want to eat everything in sight I was just staring off into the distance in a tired glazed over stare !! Didn't know I was still looking at ice cream ( lactose intolerant so can't eat it anyway!!!!!) and then my husband said I was rude to say no ? Wtf

    This. Yesterday we hosted a Christmas party for my mom's side of the family. If one more person told me to sit down and out my feet up I would have screamed. There were 37 people in the house--I couldn't just sit around and be lazy! My aunt told me I wasn't taking advantage of my "situation". Really? I'm supposed to act like an invalid and make people do stuff for me? My uncle (I give him a pass because he knows NOTHING about kids or pregnancy) kept telling me I was sitting for two so I should have the comfy chair. It all made me so ragey that I probably over compensated by doing more than I should and not accepted the rationally offered help. Today I feel like shit.
