I've been obsessing over these baby products for 2016 and I want ALL THE THINGS! I know with your second baby, you don't really need an actual full-on baby shower but this shit makes me want one.
I had the worst poop cramps today. Like couldn't move for a minute. Also coffee is going to be really hard to quit.

I have a facebook friend who is pregnant with her 3rd child. All she does is complain how tired she is. She probably is and I get that. But I really just want to say on every post "you're lucky! There are so many women who want what you have so shut it."
Also I took today off of work and I just was told I need to come in for a meeting later or else the meeting can't be held (it's a huge meeting for a child I used to work with who has significant special needs). I'm annoyed, but I'm going because I know its the right thing to do for that child. But if I puke on the table I won't be sorry.
I have been super lazy about exercising since my half marathon in June and have been eating like I'm training for a half. I have been struggling to lose about 5-10 lbs and using every excuse in the book to eat like crap.
One of the reasons I was happy to get my BFP is that I now have a valid reason to not be on a diet right now.
Also - the signature challenge GIFs trigger my nausea. I hate watching people eat, so seeing people eating large amounts of food while I already feel yucky is a bad time. I've been using the bump from my phone a lot more since I don't see signatures on that.
@megstervt I think you can turn them off. If you go into preferences, you can go to signature settings and check the boxes to strip pictures out of signatures.

Good to know! I really like GIFs in general so I didn't want to turn those off. If I can do it just for signatures though that would be ideal. Thanks!

Yep, I just tried it. It only takes them out of signatures.

I bought a chocolate chip cookie bar last night from the super market. I didn't have anything like that when I wasn't pregnant. I saw it and I needed it. I'll be sorry later but for tonight there will be dessert!.
I think the bump app SUCKS!!!!!!!!!! What the heck good is the back button for??? Once I'm in a board I can't get back to my list of favorited boards without shutting down the whole app and relaunching. And what's up with not seeing sigs on the app??? Am I less of a bumpie bc I use the app??? Wtf.
But I'm also too lazy to do this any way other than on my phone... So I guess that's my confession. I'm a lazy a*hole who likes to whine.
I am also feeling both sick and totally bitchy because one of my friends at work, who knows I am pregnant, she just doesn't seem very sympathetic and it annoys the fuck out of me. I can't wait until she's pregnant one day.
Some of the sigs make me I'll too. I purposely picked one that doesn't show actual eating for that reason.

@Buttermybiscuit you are feeding my shopping addiction. I promised DH I wouldn't go crazy bc this is our 3rd, but I just have to have the new stuff, right?
My confession. I went to an award dinner last night for work and we were all dressed up and mingling with the big wigs (my team was nominated for a big award there). There were no open tables, so we were standing around holding our drinks and plates of food. No knives and I couldn't cut my meat, so I took a way too big bite and almost choked. I had to run to the garbage pan to yank it out of my throat. It was scary and embarrassing all at the same time. I am so dignified.
This is the author and illustrator of "Good Night Moon." DD is convinced these are photos of me and H. FYI - H is only 36. I haven't corrected her because I think it's hysterical!
Also, I may or may not have eaten a bunch of cream cheese out of the container with my finger just now... It was delicious and safer than eating it off the knife don't judge me!
I am super bitchy today too. I forgot it was Friday and when DH said we might have his daughter (not mine) this weekend, I might not have been as OMGYAYSOEXCITED as he expected. Now he's upset with me and IDGAF. I'm stressed out because I start a new job on Monday, my first appointment has been rescheduled TWICE this week already and if they reschedule it again from today I won't be able to get time off right away (because of the new job). I've been awake since 3:30AM, the house is a mess because I'm the only one that cleans it and he was bitching about not having any clean clothes this morning.
I like his daughter, I really do. But the crazy dramafest that goes along with the parental exchanges every time is just... tiring. There's a reason I say we *might* have her, it's a toss up every weekend complete with harassing phone calls, threats and crazy stalker action. And I'm a big selfish bitch because sometimes only having ONE weekend together a month doesn't quite cut it. *I* have to get the house clean today, do all the laundry, figure out a dinner that the picky kid will eat, and then either spend the weekend holed up by myself in our bedroom or stuck watching Barbie cartoons all day while cleaning up mess after mess and trying to keep the dogs calm.
I wish I could go on maternity leave now. I seriously don't want to work anymore. Just using the energy to get ready for work makes me want fall back into bed fully dressed.
I'm currently hiding in the backseat of my car in the parking lot at work. I'm just exhausted and nauseous, and i can't be a grownup until after a nap.
I also had an entire plate of potatoes for lunch. Just plain roasted potatoes. The only thing in our dining room that didn't look disgusting today.
I don't know how I feel about being pregnant. It has taken DH about 2 years to convince me we were done. I just enrolled in school full time this past summer and have a graduation plan and everything. I got rid of all of our baby stuff about 3 months ago and DH was going to get fixed in March. We use the pull out method, so obviously we knew the chances. I'm still in shock and really anxious. I feel bad because I have friends that have infertility problems and I feel guilty for feeling this way. I just didn't want another one. It makes things more complicated. Plus I didn't want to be pregnant(I hate being pregnant) and have a newborn again. My DD is so freaking difficult, I don't know how I can handle 3.
This thread makes me unreasonably happy. I am so glad to have a group of people that are going through the same thing I am. I basically almost ate a whole box of scalloped potatoes today for lunch, and all I want now are sour patch kids and ice to crunch on. I'm moody, nauseated, exhausted, and I just want to stay at home all day in a oversized t-shirt and no pants and play video games while laying in bed.
I hate being at work. Being at work is stupid. I hate answering the stupid phone calls. lol.
Also - the signature challenge GIFs trigger my nausea. I hate watching people eat, so seeing people eating large amounts of food while I already feel yucky is a bad time. I've been using the bump from my phone a lot more since I don't see signatures on that.
This. Exactly this. I don't hate watching people eat, but some of these are pretty gross!! lol.
When I was pregnant with DD, my gestational diabetes test was normal, but in the high range. I had to get second test later in the pregnancy and again, on the high end of normal. My doctor told me it wasn't a risk for that pregnancy but may be a problem in my next pregnancy. I was also put off work for the last month due to high blood pressure (it went back into the normal range literally the day after I was put off work so I'm sure it was stress related).
I had lots of plans to be super healthy this time around. I'm doing better than last time so far (still going to the gym a few times a week, not buying pints of ice cream) but my workouts are nowhere near as strenuous as they were before my BFP, and I haven't cut back on my carbs and sugars like I told myself I would. And god help me if someone brings cookies or cake into work. At home at least I can avoid buying it so when a craving strikes I don't want to drive all the way to town! I also have a relatively high stress job (I'm a nurse) and need to find ways to relax so I can keep my blood pressure in check this time. I know for my health and for the health of the baby I need to make it a priority, especially with my pregnancy history, and I feel a little like a failure for not taking it more seriously.
I would LOVE to be eating healthier, but honestly at this point I eat whatever I think I can stomach, mostly within reason. I'm not eating deli meat or hot dogs but if pizza is the only thing that makes me feel better I'm going to eat the hell out of some pizza. lol
I went in a hot tub a week and a half ago without realizing how effin terrible it is for you during the first trimester so I've been researching incessantly about neural tube defects and have convinced myself that I cooked my baby.
I also don't feel the slightest bit pregnant.
And all my underwear is ruined from my progesterone suppositories...
@DobbysSock - I'm worried that my blood pressure will be high during this pregnancy (and I'm sure the worrying is not helping things at all). I am also a nurse and being off of work before my maternity leave is just not in the plan right now...we are looking to buy a house. I'm hoping that I can get into an exercise routine and manage my stress to prevent that from happening.
This is the tamest fffc ever lol. So with keeping with the lack politics, religion and "mommy wars" topics
My confession, I pee in the shower and have always lied to my husband about it when the topic comes up. He thinks it gross, I think it's laziness. lol.
