Flame-Free Friday Confessions

**Some heat-protective gear advised.**

I never know how to act around babies.

Also, I don't think most babies are cute, and most of the time when I try to tell someone something nice about their baby, I am making it up to be polite.

Hoping it will be different with my own!

rue:D · May 2015

When everyone talks about how they want to enjoy the "birthing experience"...I don't give a crap about my experience, I just want my babies out safely, as quickly and pain-free as possible.

I've eaten 3 boxes of cereal this week. Each has been completed in a 24 hr period. I'm back to my first tri food aversions, so it's all I've wanted. The good news is it's got me pooping like a champ!

beanie1977 · May 2015

I ate a 7-11 hot dog this week and I swear it was the best food I've tasted in months! Prior to being pregnant I was a vegetarian. I've lost all my dignity now

Gingerella8 · May 2015

I bought insanely expensive designer jeans at Pea In The Pod . In all fairness the whole website was 20%off.
My first go at maternity shopping at old navy made me cry the stuff was so poor fitting .

gabrielafrnqyepez · May 2015

FFFC: I'm spending almost 30 $ a day in food FOR MY SELF a day!!! and when i don't order I'm eating almost 3 cans of tuna a week.....accompanied by a cup a noodle with lemon wdf! ....the kicker is A. Dh does not know he'd kick my butt! B. I'm not gaining any weight !!!!!! Granted what I order is salads w either shrimp or chicken and the tuna I add a salad too ...wow wat a chuncky!

Yesterday I got my daughter her first kids meal at sonic because we had a ton of errands. I opted for a limeade and would just snack on some crackers while shopping.

Yeah....I ate her tator tots. Every one of them.

OperaSingerMommy · May 2015

I spent $200 on a Kate Spade diaper bag because I felt sorry for myself when DH was out of town working on Mother's Day.

McRad · May 2015

I wanted a bratwurst, and by "a" I mean two or three, for breakfast this morning. They are all frozen. I cried a little bit inside.

tate62610 · May 2015

@OperaSingerMommy I have considered opting for a designer bag this time. How is your Kate Spade bag? Which one did you get??

TheSouffleGirl · May 2015

@Gingerella8 - Me too! I went to a brick-and-mortar Pea in the Pod and found my size half off. Still a lot of money, but I figure if I have to give up my whole wardrobe, I'm at least replacing it with a few really nice things. Price per wear won't be too bad if I wear them literally every day for six months!

OperaSingerMommy · May 2015

@tate62610 Here is the link:

https://www.amazon.com/Spade-Stevie-Basic-Diaper-WKRU1370/dp/B00AG9YPYW

I bought it from the outlets so I saved a tiny bit but it looks like you can get it on amazon, ebay, and department stores too. I liked the green liner and the fact that it comes with a changing pad. Can't wait to use it this fall! I hope it will last a long time so I can justify the splurge

I love, love, love it and may copy you!!!

brittanispears · May 2015

I want to go to lunch, at work, and never come back. I've thought about it a few times. I can't wait until I can. Yes, it's unprofessional. Yes, I'll be leaving my co-workers hanging. Do I care? Not at all. My boss has put more pressure on me to be productive now than before I was pregnant, which doesn't make sense. I'm just so over it.

I asked him a question today and he had the nerve to give me a smart remark. It took so much for me not to call him trash. I'm so over this job.

naka92 · May 2015

I'm still losing weight. My OB said she wants me to be gaining about 0.5 lbs a week at this point, but instead I've lost 2kg in the last week alone.. I just cant keep anything down, including the phenergan tablets I have to help with the nausea.. How much help can they really be when I cant keep them down? Ugh. Definitely not up for telling dh about this, he's such a worrier..

ashwise · May 2015

I woke up at 1am last night just to have a bowl of cereal. I was starving and wanted it. First time ever having a midnight snack. And by a bowl of cereal it was about 2.5 bowls. Lol. Also, I'm getting really really sick of all the "I'm having a..." Posts and "how much weight should I gain" posts. I feel like that's all the first couple of threads are these days and it's super annoying.
Last one- I love maternity clothes and maternity clothes shopping. They're super comfy and I can shop without my husband saying sh!t since i can't fit into any of my old clothes any more.

FrozenMommy · May 2015

I have GD, and pretty sure I am going to take a bite of the Peanut Butter chocolate ice cream my husband has in the freezer. Because if I don't, I fear I may kill him for having it in the house while I can't eat it.

Not sure if this would completely gross you out, but Phenergan is available in rectal suppositories. If you really cNt keep them down, it might be a helpful option.

They are? I will definitely have to look into that! Thank you

Will be asking for those for sure. Cleaning up my own puke every hour is way more gross haha

My dr recommended only 1 can every 2 or so days. Tuna is ok in small amounts !

dchiapella · May 2015

My OB said the same thing, I even have a full sheet explaining why and the amounts from Mass General.

anorthro · May 2015

I showered this morning for the first time in 3 days

Bingj · May 2015

The last two nights I've been eating Nutella out of the jar. Yep, it's 2/3 gone. I guess tonight I'll have to finish it off.

jenn2132 · May 2015

mrsdhouse89 · May 2015

All I've had today are sour cream and onion Pringles.... It's the only thing that sounds good besides prime rib... I crave prime rib every day, so don't feel bad about your tuna ceaving addiction @gabrielafrnqyepez

mrsdhouse89 · May 2015

Craving not ceaving.

tate62610 · May 2015

I roll my eyes when moms expect a "push present."

saveinsincity · May 2015

I leave work early on Saturday and/or Sunday and go home to nap. Wake up at my usual off work time, just in time to pick up DD. Hubby does not know, my guilty pleasure.
On my day off, I parade in PJs all day up until I need to pick up DD.

I have eaten Tuna twice this pregnancy, 2.6 oz package. I was told 1 can a week is fine.

curfam4 · May 2015

I'm working from home today, and I just woke up from a two hour nap...now to catch up on emails.

dchiapella · May 2015

Somehow after the TONS of food I've eaten today (all healthy, though, I promise) I CANNOT wait to pick up a couple McDonalds cheeseburgers and fries which I haven't had in legit years.

mgmlove · May 2015

I eat pizza literally every single day! I have lots of food aversions and one of the very few things i like is pizza.

I've convinced myself that its not so bad because it has all 4 major food groups (sorta) and I'm still losing weight.
