Happy New Year Ladies!

Now let's hear those confessions!

yogahh · January 2016

My in-laws are coming today. Enough said...

BabyL52716 · January 2016

I have gained 8lbs since december 11th wooowahh

Thanks a lot Christmas baking/treats/candy

js8812 · January 2016

I fell asleep last night (NYE) before 10pm.

Charissadeats · January 2016

I haven't changed into clothes today. I am still in my strappy top and boy-shorts. I am not planning on changing into anything else either (it's 5:30 pm)

BabyL52716 · January 2016

@js8812 I went to bed 20min before 12 haha!

kbrands7 · January 2016

DH fell asleep on the couch after breakfast. I'm not exactly thwarting DS's attempts to wake him with kisses, climbs, legos, cars, and now drums.

JessicaB0627 · January 2016

I'm ready for DD's nap time to be now, and I'm not doing a single thing the rest of the day. I'm kind of glad DH has to work today so he won't bug me to do things all day!

missnc77 · January 2016

Last night, I ate a pretzel roll and bacon biscuit from the bread basket, crabcakes and scallops as an app, an 8 oz fillet, a nice size helping of each of the three sides we ordered, and half of a warm toffee cake with ice cream for dinner. And instead of feeling ashamed, I was so excited that I was able to fit dessert without being in pain. I woke up hungry. Pregnancy is a blessing and a curse - where does it all go?!

Sounds like me- crap cakes, arugala salad, seafood risotto and chocolate cake. And I still could have kept eating! Got my calories from food this NYE and not from champagne.

AdorkablePixie · January 2016

DH and I stayed in last night even though we had two separate people invite us out. We went to the Chinese buffet then watched shows on Amazon prime and Netflix. I was asleep before midnight and I'm not ashamed.

vinerie · January 2016

I have really long hair and I've discovered a new way to fashion a really cute bun on top of my head. The confession part of this is that with my new bun skillz, I can go four days without washing my hair. Day 1 I wash it and wear it down. Day 2 it looks fine down, too. Day 3 and 4 are now bun days. The real rub of it is that I get tons of compliments on my dirtball hair when it's in a bun, haha.

Instructions please! My bun always looks like a wild mess. Not the cute wild mess either.

DH's grandma is living with us for the time being until she can get a house and income flowing in (note: we are paying for everything at the moment). She's decided to move states to get away from her abusive husband (not DH's grandfather) and leave him for good. She's not exactly the best at making adult decisions.

She's the only person in DH's family he really truly cares about (besides me and LO, of course). But goodness gracious, she is a bitter, self righteous, condescending old lady.

For example, my dad came back yesterday from being out of the country for a month (my mom is still abroad). He brought back a ton of gifts for the baby (all the baby stuff from our home country is super cheap than in the US). She saw all the stuff I was opening and then started telling me a story of how her mother never gave her children anything in their whoooole life while I was excitedly opening my gifts

what am I suppose to say?! Sorry your parents didn't love you?! And to top it all off, she rolled her eyes at all the things I got and had the NERVE to say "you're only having one baby"

This lady is living on OUR DIME and acting like this! I am so irritated with her and I can't complain to DH because he loves her so much. UGH!

LemmyRN · January 2016

@tgortney at least mention it to him. She was being incredibly rude. You were having a nice moment with your father and Debbie Downer should have minded her own business if she was going to be negative.
She shouldn't treat your guests that way. Plus she's more of a temporary roommate at this point so she should be more considerate, helpful, and Thankful.

Sunshinebins · January 2016

We are going to Ikea today to see what they have for nursery furniture. (Hard to pass up on the price!) MIL has asked us several times when we are going because she wants to go with us and shop for other stuff too. Neither of us want to deal with that, so we aren't telling her we are going so she can't choose to tag along.

I'm continuously shocked by how much food I can eat these days. It's crazy! And toffee cake sounds so good!!

tgortney · January 2016

@LemmyRN you're right, she was being with a Debbie downer while I was having a nice moment with my dad

But yes, I have mention a few times to DH and he's addressed it to her but I don't want to keep pushing since this is temporary. Also, I don't want it to turn into a "me vs her" situation and he's stuck playing referee

Hopefully she's moving out by the end of this month, if not sooner! fingers crossed it happens soon.

I gained 6 or 7lb between my last two appointments. I guess it's time to slow down on the junk a little...

bkjade · January 2016

Popped a bottle of bubbly last night to toast the fam. AND skipping yoga today to hang in my sweats.

valerie4786 · January 2016

My husband is taking his THIRD nap today and I could punch him...partly because he is snoring so loud. We had our niece & nephew last night for NYE and tonight, and I was the one who got up when my nephew had an accident (husband didn't even wake up when nephew came into our room and called his name)- changed the jammies/sheets/etc, put them both back to bed. Throughout the night I had to ask husband to roll over 2-3 times because of his outrageous snoring, just so I could fall asleep. Then when the kids got up this morning I cooked them (& husband) eggs & toast, washed a load of laundry, unloaded/loaded the dishwasher & washed some pots. All while my husband sat/napped on the couch. Then when he finally got up to shower & get dressed he left and went shopping. I put my niece & nephew down for a nap and was an hour into my own nap when he came home and I heard literally every sound he was making in the kitchen making a sandwich - even though he was attempting to be quiet, then he came into where I was attempting to nap to eat his sandwich & chips and he is the loudest chewer. Maybe I'm just being cranky/hormonal today, but I'm seriously irritated with him today. I hope this is not an indication of how he will be when our baby comes.

On another note, I want to eat everything today.

wamam027 · January 2016

I ate the best chicken wings of my life 3 nights ago (thanks to Yelp helping a sister out while trying to find good food in a new city). DH asked me what I want for dinner tonight since a stocked fridge hasn't exactly been on our priorities list since moving in and I replied with "I'll have 24 wings from the Dirty Buffalo" he looked at me like I'm insane and I told him "YES they're all for me, so order your own, and YES I intend on eating every single one of them, then having a piece of Apple pie to wash it down". No shame.

hahaha! Love this.
i really want some apple pie today for some reason and you just made it worse.

I knew I should have picked some up at wal mart!

countrygrl5533 · January 2016

I finally caved and bought some alcohol free wine. Definitely not the same but a lot better than I anticipated.

nerdymama15 · January 2016

I caught DHs cold/crud. I feel miserable so I'm taking sudafed, Robitussin, benadryl, Tylenol, and my prescription meds. I talked to my doctor and everything is on their approved list. My mom gives me a hard time about taking meds while pregnant even though the doctor okayed it. And now DH is questioning it even though he was there when I asked the doctor. It's making me nervous now. I don't see how ppl avoid taking meds while pregnant. Every time I get a cold it turns into a sinus infection and bronchitis. I have asthma as well so I have to treat the symptoms or things can get bad pretty fast. I'm drinking lots of fluids and am resting. This is not how I imagined spending my four day weekend.

Also don't watch The Heart of Christmas on Netflix unless you want to do some serious ugly crying. The title is misleading. It's based on the story about Dax Locke and most of the movie takes place at Saint Jude's.

AdorkablePixie · January 2016

@nerdymama15 I read the info for that movie and said NOPE! lol Did not feel like crying.

codeeye · January 2016

Normally I am an incredibly calm individual.

Well, I straight up lost it on my SO this afternoon because my back (which has a bulged disc that makes my legs go numb normally, on top of all the awful things going on with it now that I'm pregnant) was really bothering me. And he had the nerve to say "women have been having babies for thousands of years, it can't be THAT bad"

I had a moment of hormonal rage I didn't know i was capable of having. Lucky for me he was understanding that what he said was insensitive and he just made me feel better.

That is exactly what we did! Fell asleep by 1030.

evalynn24 · January 2016

@nerdymama15 This is exactly me right now and it sounds like we are taking the same cocktail of medicine. I have an albuterol inhaler as well though. I hope you feel better soon. I've already had bronchitis this season and I'm afraid it's happening again

My FFFC is I had a full on mental/physical breakdown today. I haven't slept more than about 3 hours a night the last week, I can't breathe and couldn't stop coughing, which made me puke and I also pee every time I cough/sneeze/puke. I was in the shower and just sat on the floor and bawled for a good 15 minutes. I then got out and cried to my H for a few minutes. I felt soooo much better after that and I was able to sleep for a couple hours finally.

@evalynn24 and @nerdymama15 -- I *was* right there with you. About a month of congestion and bronchitis. I still have a lingering cough

Anyhow, I was on albuterol and symbicor inhalers, Tylenol, and an allergy pill. My MD said ALL were fine. My advice is to trust the science and experts on what to take, not the peanut gallery. Wishing that good health comes to you both quicklyM
