I don't really feel as bad for my 13w pregnant sister as I could. She says she's nauseous all the time, but she hasn't thrown up at all so how bad is it, really? I actually vomited so I at least had tangible proof, right!? Sibling rivalry at its finest, perhaps.
I thought i had bad morning sickness previously because of nausea but this baby had me puking to the point of busted blood vessels daily. There is a scale and constant nausea is lower than vomit, sorry.
@BBaires hahahhahaha ) o heckkk noooo !!! i just had that feeling that it would happen go figure ,,,, thats so lame ( a word my son uses and right now i see it fit ) what was so wrong w the thread.... it was being kept from it getting too serious .... and thats funny considering what it was about !!!
My confession is that I love my dogs...but DH has been gone since Wednesday, won't be back until Sunday, every time they bark at the front door I slightly panic and then want to kill them. I have no issue staying by myself, but seriously dogs...
Also I am going to a baby shower for a friend tomorrow. Some of her friends are a little judgmental. I haven't been able to wear my wedding ring since May, but to avoid the stink eye and the "So are you married?" question every time they do a hand and belly check, I bought a fake ring. Hopefully this will put an end to the ignorant thoughts that people have about me being an unmarried mother. Even though I would hope that by this century we could be a bit more accepting and understanding that not everyone is married when they have kids. Sorry I'm tired and slightly jealous of my friend who can still wear her ring and isn't swelling at all.
Also @morganabyrd when your sister has to take off running for the toilet because the smell of her coworker is just too much...then I will feel sorry for her nausea. Your vomit trumps her nausea.

DH got me a burner ring off eBay until my actual rings fit again. It's so tacky and awful. I love it.
@Mariahobrien I found a really good fake in Versona. My friend thought it was real from a distance. It's totally not my taste but I'll take what I can get at this point.

If I see one more rant about Cecil the lion......
*** Quote box end ***
The level of coverage is embarrassing to me. I don't think it's just because I am in Minnesota so people are protesting and rallying. It's all over the national news. I understand there is cause for concern and there is a reason to be upset about circumstances such as this; HOWEVER (<-- HUGE however), I completely disagree with the amount of coverage this story is getting. There was something else like this earlier this spring where the news outlets ran away with the coverage, and I felt like it was used as a huge distraction to redirect viewers' focus from more dire or serious situations (or perhaps more educational/informational coverage).
@LiveNLove44 it's really out of control. I didn't even know who Cecil was until he was killed. It's sad and wrong. Yes. Let Zimbabwe handle this. Social media is not court. Showing up on someone's doorstep with pitchforks and torches is not how we handle this.
Once again, so many preaching how we should have love and respect for animals and others lives and they respond to this story with hate, death threats, wishing him to lose his business, home and family.
As someone who suffered all day nausea with no vomiting with all my pregnancies . . . I don't think you can compare the two. Constant vomiting is awful, and you're probably right that it's worse than constant nausea. But constantly feeling like you're on the verge of throwing up, but never getting the relief of it actually happening is no picnic.
Just sayin'. I'm just glad to be past that stage.
ETA: I'm taking about just normal vomiting, however frequent, not HG or getting so severely sick you end up in the ER. That's a whole other ballgame.
^^^ I would have to agree with this. I had the all day vomiting, but once it was under control, I still had the nausea and it was horrible. Both are horrible fates, though.
Confession part two - I am really frustrated with some of my friends right now and I know I shouldn't be. I've been on bedrest for over a month. Just moved into a new house 2 weeks before going on bedrest. None of them have been over to see the new house or to visit while I have been on bed rest. I've seen them at church, and we text/ facebook all day. But no visit. They have been crazy helpful collecting baby stuff for us at consignment sales and what not. Two of them are planning a huge baby shower for all my friends, family, and church. But I'm so tired of being home by myself all day... I'm a horrible person.
Maybe you should ask them? Honestly if it were me I'd visit, but some people might assume if you're on bed rest that you might not want people around/in your bedroom etc. I'm just kind of my first thought as I read your comment. Hang in there!
My confession is that our house is messy! Everyone who visits always says our house doesn't look lived in....if only they saw it this week lol my hubby has been sick all week which is weird because he rarely gets sick. I've been so exhausted once I get off of work I've only been able to muster up the energy to cook him good (quick) food to help him get better and then I'm out for the night. The good side is, the rest made my blood pressure great at yeterdays visit, but they still moved me to weekly appts already when I'm only 31 weeks but whatever.
nianicho777 - That's a good point. I can move to the couch during the day now, which is nice. And the 3 girls in our little group, I would be okay with being in my room. Anyone else not so much. So I should probably clarify that with them.
Dang looks like I missed all the fun again! Rat post, definitely a weird one.
My FFFC is that I'm more terrified of the sleep deprivation I'm about to experience than labor, etc. I'm a STM so I know the labor and recovery is all temporary but the sleep deprivation hangs around for a good while. What's even more irritating is I only have 9 weeks left of normal sleep and I can't sleep in past 8! Some days I'm so anxious to have her in my arms and others I could keep her in for another 9 weeks
I ate a medium rare (heavy on the rare) steak! It tasted soooo good! I also canceled my appt for glucose tolerance test! I'm guessing they will make me pay at my next appt
I have given up on squatting on public seats weeks ago, it got to the point that I go so often that the whole squatting thing has no place in my mind. I try to do this trick "half sit" on the seat, sometimes it can get more messy then I expect but now after 3 weeks with a cast on a broken finger.. I'm just glad I can wipe with my right hand again.
I think I have way too many confessions to post them all so I will condense them in to point form in one post.
at 28 weeks (1 week TO THE DAY before I started early maternity leave) while treating myself to my favorite McDonalds breakfast combo as I was early for work... which had become a slightly "rare" occasion as of late, I forgot how to walk over a curb and took a dive onto my poor pinky snapping it at the knuckle resulting in closed surgery. just shy of 3 weeks, and getting sick of not being able to shave my armpit myself I removed it 3 days early. I lied and said it did hurt anymore... my poor twisted pinky will never be straight again.
as I mentioned (Canadian living momma) I started my maternity leave early after 2 weeks of intensive training for all my replacements (previous retail manager) and after "the pinky incident", as I have come to call it, we moved back home, 3 provinces away from work and could not be happier. I have not seen all of my family since returning home, and have contacted very few (into week 2 of being back) and I don't feel that guilty! it makes me feel like a lacking relative but I know what demand they will have on me once this baby arrives. 31 weeks and I'm enjoying not working, not visiting, and eating everything.
Re: It's Friday so confess it all
ETA: spelling.
I love tacky things.
