Aaaaaand go!

Mailmans Baby Momma · November 2015

And it's Friday the 13th, so make 'em good!

I lied about my LMP date in order to have my due-date align with when I ovulated based on my chart. Now, baby is measuring big and the doctor keeps talking about moving my due-date back and asking if I'm SURE about my LMP... Yep, I'm sure. Sure I didn't tell the truth and now I'm too far in to go back on it.

Realistically though, I only told them three days later than reality, so that doesn't account for baby measuring 8 days ahead.

I cannot keep myself from dancing when Taylor Swift's "Shake it off" comes in the radio. Not even when my coworker is sitting in my car because the doors haven't opened yet and his wife had to drop him off and get to her own job.

I'm not ashamed. I went all white girl shimmying my shoulders and wiggling my butt around in my seat.

Ready4theParty · November 2015

I feel HUGE. I keep reminding myself that I am almost 18 weeks, half way there...but it only helps for a minute. The fact that I only gained 4 lbs doesn't help either.

erind228 · November 2015

I was up last night from 12:30 to 4. Partly because I had to pee, but mostly because I was on the 2nd tri board lurking. It was so entertaining that I.Could.Not.Stop!

This is me too and I've only gained 2 lbs. we were skyping with DH's family yesterday and my MIL actually said "wow your big, but it's the second kid so you're already stretched out." Why do people think it's ok to say these things?

ivyvines6 · November 2015

I just peed on baking soda. It fell over while I was in the shower. Not even concerned about cleaning it all up. A little disappointed no fireworks happened from that though! Is the secret to not add water to the mix?

blonde_mama · November 2015

I wear leggings as pants. All day, err day.

blonde_mama · November 2015

In fact, I'm wearing them as we speak

sorry not sorry.

I wish I had did this bc it secretly annoys me that my due date is two days off from where it should be.

jonesl12 · November 2015

I purposely drunk sugary crap sometimes to make baby move as a reassurance she's ok in there if I don't feel her. By sometimes I mean a glass of OJ almost every day lol that's pure sugar but once I feel her move I feel better.

I'd also like to confess I've turned into a crazy person that worries about every ache and pain I have now. I had a patient with a placental abruption the other day, the same day I lifted a heavy box and heaved it from my side into the dumpster so now I have cramps and pain and have convinced myself I have a placental abruption.
I've turned into "that patient" and I'm not proud and I know better

I've been wearing VS yoga leggings for work every day with long shirts/sweaters because none of my dress/scrub pants fit and I'm not ready to break down and buy more. No shame!

BreannaaaMarieee · November 2015

I haven't washed my hair in two days so yesterday for work I threw it up in a messy bun and you'd never be able to tell! Today is hair washing day though; after I clean anyways. Also, I still haven't taken down our outside Halloween decorations. Oops

I'm so surprised with my self at this bc usually my Christmas decorations would've been up already! I guess you can say I've been slacking a lot lol.

mrstrax · November 2015

I've watched my daycare boy from 4-15 months and I'm still kinda terrified to have my own. Holy unknown Batman. I think I'm still in shock.

Ready4theParty · November 2015

Last one for today...

Three years ago DH and I hit a rough patch. At the time my new SIL was very judgemental and ended any kind friendship she and I had. She was newly married and very vocal that she was an expert at keeping a man satisfied. It irked me big time, especially since she was also vocal that we should just split.

Last night DHs brother calls and confesses they are having major marriage issues and want two different things. He's seriously considering leaving. I don't delight in divorce or splits but I really want to shove this back in her face. Unfortunately I will probably take the high road and pretend I know nothing...it sucks.

When my fiance and I had broken up his mother and I had had an amazing relationship up until that point. Afterwards she started telling him how immature I was, and that he didn't need the drama associated with a person who has depression. When we got back together she told him that she didn't approve and thinks he can do better. He told his parents he wouldn't speak to them again until they got over themselves, this went on for about a month. They apologized to me, and have been actively trying since then to make a relationship happen. I'm too hesitant to do anything but play nice. It takes a lot of willpower to not shove it in their faces how happy we are every time I see them... Your SIL sounds like she was being pretty shitty before, but in my experience, it pisses people off more when you sympathetic towards them when they're going through something. And BONUS you look like a waaaaaaay better person!

skc040512 · November 2015

I'm the only one in the office this morning, and it's boring because nothing happens on Fridays, especially near the holidays. Since my boss is out of town, I'm seriously considering watching some Buffy the Vampire Slayer on netflix, sans headphones.

Ready4theParty · November 2015

@Knottie9983816 I agree. She had been married to BIL all of six months (and they had been together all of two years total)when DH and I were having problems. Ever since she has treated me like I am one foot out the door, and she doesn't want to have any kind of relationship beyond small talk.

My FFFC? I hate that I can't do that same. I am 120% over today already. I have so much crap grading to do, more and more students being added to this stupid behavior management program that doesn't work but takes out of my instructional time to fill out meaningless paperwork, fielding parent phone calls DURING CLASS, the same parent emailing me about her precious little child for the millionth time already this year (uh, do you know realize I have 120 students and he's probably the LEAST of my concerns out of all of them...?!), and parent conferences next week where I guarantee parents will blame me for their child's poor grades when in reality then kid just needs to stop being a pud and do/turn in their friggin' work. I just want to quit today. Today is one of those days I am hating being a teacher, because its about 20% actually teaching, 80% of this other crap. Over it.

(And yes, I did just look up a gif to go with my post instead of doing some of that crap grading I need to do...)

kalanieileen · November 2015

I told my assistant at 3:30 in the morning that I couldn't sleep due to pregnancy insomnia and I was going to be late today.. When really I just stayed up late bumping and really didn't want to wake up early.

allaire314 · November 2015

Here's my FFFC... I try and reserve all my Bumping for work... which sounds terrible! I'm usually busy when I get home and on the weekends, but at work, there is down time between tasks/projects. Makes me love Mondays because I get to catch up on everything I missed over the weekend.

mrstrax · November 2015

@imrachellea Parents like that drive me nuts. I TA'd in COLLEGE and got emails/calls from parents worried about grades... in a 100 level class on computer basics (i.e. this is a monitor) and Office that is widely considered the easiest class on campus. I had a canned response about how I would work with their child if they contacted me and came to my office hours for help, but it was so hard to not respond that if your kid can't handle this class they maybe shouldn't be paying tuition for a degree they'll likely never finish.

AshleyM1985 · November 2015

I spent $60 at carters on girl clothes..... Um our 3d u/s is the 30th.... Oooppps

misstopsail · November 2015

I went on a daycare walk through today. The place was nice, clean, and reasonably priced, along with being on our route to work.

And the second I got into my car, I burst into tears. Feeling very 'I CANT LEAVE MY BABY WITH STRANGERS' today.
So I cried, and then drank my first Coke since my BFP, and then cried about that because I haven't been drinking caffeinated drinks.

I'm a hot freaking mess today... That's my confession.

AGK2015 · November 2015

I woke up this morning at my normal time, and made the conscious decision to go back to sleep for another ten minutes, even though it meant I didn't have time to shower (I'm usually up and out the door in 25 minutes, 10 minutes of which is dedicated to walking the dog. This morning, I only had 15). Screw it, I smell fine, I'm wearing clean underwear, and my hair isn't any less beautiful than it would have been if I'd showered and tossed it up in a wet bun.

cmjenkies · November 2015

DH and I do not exchange gifts for any holidays or anniversaries anymore, we haven't for a couple of years. I've been keeping a close eye on our financials trying to pay down bills, student loans, etc., and budget for baby #2 and I honestly see no point in wasting money on one another right now when we don't have enough of a cushion to justify it. I don't need a gift to know I am loved and he's the most awful person to buy for so I'm not mad at it! Lol. Maybe someday when things are a bit more established. Until then, no thanks.

yodiggity · November 2015

I am tired of people asking me/us if we've decided on a name for baby. I think we have but we've not said, "this is baby's name, 100%" and frankly, I just don't want to tell anyone. A few people at work are just finding out I'm pg because I'm beginning to show and word is starting to travel. I don't really care but I'm not one to stand on a pedestal and announce my pregnancy. We're planning to post on FB *maybe* next month. Maybe.

My sister 'joked' that my FB announcement will be a picture of my baby after birth. That's ok with me. I don't like feeling pressured to share my baby's potential name and I don't want anyone's fucking opinion about OUR choice.

yodiggity · November 2015

^^ That was kind of a mushed up double FFFC.

This is my plan.

I waited 15 weeks to even tell OUR PARENTS. And now they are constantly asking if they can tell their friends/extended family and I keep saying no. I am TWENTY WEEKS PREGNANT and still don't want to discuss it.

I just don't like my body being a public spectacle for 40 weeks, so the shorter I can make that time frame be, the happier I am. I have been enjoying the cold weather because I get to wear sweaters, scarves and jackets. And basically hide this baby for as long as I can.

I should add that this baby was very much planned and H and I are super excited to start our family. I just don't want to talk about it with everyone all the time.

I've started watching Keeping Up with the Kardashians recently.

It's hard, that's for sure. I was the same way the first day that I dropped DS off, however, once DS got a little older and I saw the positive benefits and impacts that it had, I really became grateful that I had/ have them.

Also, they FULLY expect you to call at least once a day for the first day or even few days to check in.

RebekahA83 · November 2015

Overcome with exhaustion I fell back into bed (three hours after I got out of said bed) and took a nice 2.5 hour nap. There goes my house cleaning, grocery shopping, errand running plans. Whoops. Maybe tomorrow? Doubtful

briterfly84 · November 2015

I ate gummy bears for lunch today, with a bottle of water. They were amazing, the only thing that sounded remotely appetizing, and were not super disgusting when they came back up. Plus, the bag says they are a fat and gluten free food, so that's gotta count for something! I bought them planning to give them to my students this afternoon as a little treat.....whoops!

Not to mention, before posting this, I found the following meme that could not have summed up my morning at the gas station more perfectly!

Ah I did the same thing after I looked at daycares for my son.

And I drink soda all the time if it makes you feel better. Haha! I make sure to stay under the caffeine limit but with a toddler running around, I need the extra boost sometimes.

Ready4theParty · November 2015

@yodiggity we are in the same boat. We pissed a lot of people off by nor announcing DDs name, not that I care, but by not announcing on FB I feel like we could avoid some of the name issues. I like our names and I don't want to have any one give their two cents. We did make up fake names to see people responses if they ask.

NachosAndPeaches · November 2015

@yodiggity repeat after me: "we don't have a name yet but when we do well be keeping it a secret until the baby is born". The end.

akb1125 · November 2015

Idk if this a confession or unpopular opinion but either way..the posts where ppl are complaining about NOT gaining weight are annoying. I'm surprised they're even getting away with it. It was a major flame subject on my last bmb.
