I have a first birthday I'm going to this weekend. I honestly hate birthday parties for 1 year olds. It's not so bad if it's a family members kid, but when it's a friend and you don't know their family it's kind of awkward, especially when you don't have kids yet. The other thing is some people go ALL OUT! Why spend all the money on something they won't remember?
I just spent 5 days on a cruise ship eating all the junk. This morning I stopped at McDonalds for a sausage biscuit. I'm well on my way to gaining about 100 lbs this pregnancy!
My H needs to step up with our 2yr old. We ended up having to tell his sister Im pregnant last night because he refused to change a diaper and I ended up vomiting at the restaurant from the smell.

My FFFC: I'm seriously side-eyeing your husband right now.
@mouse1029 I hope he's learned his lesson on that one, I would be putting him on full time diaper duty for the foreseeable future as penance.
My confession... I didn't have any clients the afternoon but instead of being productive I'm laying on the couch watching tv until I have to pick up DS from daycare.
I sent my husband out at 9pm last night because I had rejected three dinners as being vomit-inducing and the ONLY thing I would eat is McDonalds hotcakes. He made me tuna melts, soup, and a salad. Nope. Nope. Nope.
I haven't had those since I was a little kid - but hey, they stayed down, so I refuse to feel bad.
I feel like I have eaten so much today (breakfast, mid-morning snack, lunch, post-lunch snack) and I'm still starving/nauseous. I just want to eat until I'm so full that I need sleep. lol

"Success is going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm." -Winston Churchill
The most ambitious thing I have accomplished all week was going in to town to get McDonald's. Now that I'm fairly certain it's going to stay down, I'm going to take a nap.
During my lunch break I went to Jimmy Johns and got a sandwich and chips to take back to work. I ate the chips while driving back to the office then got another bag from a vending machine at the office so I could eat chips with my sandwich. Not even mad about it!
I ate Chipotle for lunch and now I'm feeling regret. It just sounded so good! The baby demanded a burrito bowl, and I was powerless to resist.
None of their foodborne illness outbreaks have been in my state. And I keep telling myself that a company that is under the microscope like they are now is probably one of the safest places you could eat! But still, I kinda feel bad for not playing it safer.
My OB told me to avoid sugar like it's poison, and I still have Christmas cookies. The really good, homemade, buttery kind that basically melt in your mouth. They're so tempting, so instead I had a glass of chocolate milk and one dark chocolate covered caramel, and I'm realizing I probably should have just eaten the cookies.

Random rant because this doesn't quite fit anywhere else. I'm totally fuming at DH tonight. I was going to go with my sister to a wine and paint class thing tonight(minus the wine of course) but hubby got a bit upset because I've worked second shift all week so I decided not to go. Well about 9pm his friends call him to say their going to the bar and see if he wants to go. So we debated back and forth and I ultimately told him to go if he wanted because no one wants to be the bitchy wife. And this asshole went. Granted that I told him to go if he wanted to, but I skipped out on something to spend some time at home with him and he left. So I guess my FFFC is that I'm probably going to be "that bitchy wife" all day tomorrow. DH can suck it. End rant.
@Lynnlove28 Oh man, I would be FUMING! However, I am a believer that you have to be straightforward about things like that and it's now my policy to just say flat out to DH - "the decision is up to you, but I am going to be pissed about it". I feel like it's only fair to give him the heads up that there will be backlash (obviously only in times when it's justified, if it's something that I shouldn't be upset about I try to just get over it). I feel like that is definitely a time when it's justified though! If I stayed home to spend time together (at his request) then the least he can do is stick around to hang out!
@Lynnlove28 omg so annoying!! I have no shame and would just say no I don't want you to go haha .. I like your style @Bookhousegirl - then he has no one to blame but himself when you are annoyed at him the next day lol
ThisisNumber3 -- That's a bit of hyperbole, but my OB really emphasized avoiding sugar, and she gave me several reasons why: 1) most people are getting much more sugar than they realize (it's in everything and it's not in small amounts); 2) your unborn child will get nutrients but it can't filter out excess sugar and there have been studies that link excess sugar in utero with dietary/weight problems after birth; 3) there's no nutritional value in added sugar; 4) the potential for developing gestational diabetes; and 5) eating more sugar is more likely to result in excess pregnancy weight gain which causes a more complicated delivery and excess weight gain during pregnancy has been linked to weight problems for children after birth.
Apparently, most women gain much more weight than is needed during pregnancy and it can really complicate things for both the mother and the child. (That, and a new, government study about sugar came out the day of my appointment.)
Edited to say: the end result is that now I want all the sugar....
