I'm supposed to work from home and can't seem to get motivated as of late. So, yesterday I knocked out a bunch of work from Starbucks then painted my little girl's bedroom (No VOC paint - odorless). If this is second tri energy already kicking in, I'll take it! Last pregnancy I got SO many home projects completed.

I love your disclaimer I'll probably end up painting both bedrooms this time .... I tried to get DH to do it last time and blue paint was everywhere and we ended up having to hire painters.

Well, I didn't need any haters taking away from FFFC because HEAVEN FORBID a pregnant woman gets near paint fumes.
My DH sells Benjamin Moore products to commercial builders (which definitely has it's perks when it comes to supplies), but if I leave the painting up to him, I come home to a full crew in the house because 1 of his clients had a "slow" day. And then we pay them. I think I can handle a few walls and some stripes on my own.
I felt so crappy yesterday that I lied and said DS needed picked up from his daycare so I could leave work...I really just went home and napped and then picked him up at his normal time. I suck but it was worth it.

I specifically brought yoga pants to the office today to change into after my one meeting. That I am also doing everything I can to see if the other person will cancel the meeting. Kinda like when you try to get the other person to break up with you.
DS's 7th birthday is in 9days and I'm not having a friends party for him... My DD will be 5 in July and she also will not get a party this year. I just don't have the energy to clean/organize something
I run a daycare in my home. I didn't bother cleaning up the toys last night and had the kids clean up when they came in. If only they could do dishes and vacuum. :-/
I have another : DS is going on 13 months and I have yet to spend a night away from him. :-O
Guilty over here too! Little guy is 11 months and the only exception was after having an emergency d&c after some postpartum issues. He went home with grandma for the rest of the night since I was in the hospital and all drugged up. I have never voluntarily spent a night away from him.
Right now I hate everyone younger, skinnier, and prettier than I am. HATE. With the passion of a thousand fiery suns. Which makes no sense, since A. I am not a jealous person normally (I'm a belly dancer for Pete's sake, I've been watching gorgeous women shake their hips for years) and B. I have SO who seriously would not notice if all the Victoria's Secret models walked right by us completely naked, so it's not like I'm being compared to these other women or need to feel threatened.
I lurk over here from the January 2016 board...it's so much more fun here. If I see one more spotting, cramping, tired, nausea thread I'm gonna scream.
@megstark - can you edit the title and add today's date on it?
I've also never spent a night away from DD and she is 20 months old. I don't feel bad about it. The first time will probably be when I'm in the hospital with this one. I did feel bad the first time that I wasn't home to help put her to bed because I was out on a girls' night. That was a few months ago.

I never have any good confessions
Yes! I've only missed bedtime once and I thought I would die. I think he will/would be fine. It's me that has the problems! (Hospital for baby#2 will likely be the first time we're away too. Wah)
So here's a good one, and hopefully will help some of the new moms when the time comes: I didn't feel that overwhelming, all-encompassing love for my newborn. I didn't tell her out loud that I loved her until she was closer to a few weeks old. It was like falling in love. I probably did love her at first, but it wasn't something that was like, "OMG! I love you so much!" as soon as she was born. It slowly turned to that.
so @redfallon we may be the same person. I was the same exact way. I actually had a bit of a breakdown a few days postpartum because I was like "I don't care if somebody else takes him while I go nap, shouldn't I want to be around him 24/7? I'm a horrible moooooooooommmm waaahhhhhhhhhh" It was miserable. NOW, a year later, he's filled my life with more love and joy (and stress) than I could ever have imagined. But those first couple of weeks were such a weird place for me.
I have another one, and sorry for those of you who hate food posts, but it's flame free!- I just ordered an entire pizza to my office for my lunch and I'm not planning on sharing it!

Yup, this.
Also, I'm watching the Today show and I think Pitbull is creepy and his music sucks.

I saw him on Jimmy Fallon and agree he is kinda creepy. I'm not sure what it is about him, but I get this creepy vibe from him.

I was just the same. It felt weird to say "I love you" when I felt I didn't know him. It took me a couple of weeks too. As a FTM I thought I was a terrible mother for not having the overwhelming love and instantaneous bond I'd heard about.

He's like the creepy uncle that hugs you just a tad bit too long. Also, I'm pretty sure he stuffs the front of his pants.
I was thinking this morning that he's supposed to be this badass rapper, but he dresses like a banker on casual Friday that's probably skimming cash out of accounts.

Sorry ladies had to get that out #:-S
It will get better. You just have to get past the initial questions and repetitiveness (although sadly sometimes that never happens).
Ok I have one... At my first appt 4 weeks ago, my dr told me to go to the lab to get my blood work done before my next appt... I am bisiting in Illinois now (I live in az) and my next appt is next Wednesday! I have just been so tired and sick after work there was no way I was going to sit in a lab and wait for blood work! Whoops... Guess I'll do it monday!
Mmmmmmm...Pizza...it's only 950 am and i think that I'm going to get some...That'll be the third time this week. Hey...it's all I can stomach then I'll take it:) Is that considered a confession? I'll have to try and think of something better....

I ate pizza for breakfast so..... you're in good company? I don't know what it is about pizza this pregnancy, but I love it way more than usual.
I think I may end up being one of those mom's who doesn't have an instant connection with my baby. I'm not super excited and girly about being pregnant and having a baby. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy. I'm just more pragmatic about the whole thing than most people seem to be. I feel like a mutant and am starting to wonder if I need counseling.
