  • My confession is that I'm miserable and I know most of us are, but I'm starting to feel bad for all the women whose position I'm now in that I told to suck it up. I'm ready to evict my LO. 

    Along these lines, I always shake my head at the expectant mother/parents with small children parking spots at the grocery store but today I actually thought about parking in one (of course they were all full). I always forget that some people have it WAY worse and may need that extra close spot but I also know a lot of people just take advantage of it and it is so irritating to me. I guess that's my confession, those parking spots irritate me.
  • Confession: I wouldn't know a David Bowie song if I heard it. :/ 
    right there with ya. i know he's a music icon and i totally love the path he paved for the music industry.. but i never could get into his style. also never seen the Labyrinth and i don't get any of the references to what people call him.

    i do love the song 'under pressure' that he did with Freddie Mercury, but that's about it.

    I guess so?! I don't remember this from before. Sorry, I didn't mean to bring up an already beaten subject.

    I think it was a UO, but yeah. This horse died and has been beaten.
  • DH complained about the apartment not being clean to one of his friends today. I've been literally cleaning his same messes in circles and the animals are now helping him make messes. So what did I do? I may have put his favorite blanket in the dogs bed for her to lay on. (That's his biggest pet peeve.) all I have to say is "ahhhhfuuuccckk yoouu". Man I hope she's been running around today and is smelly. I am full of evil and very bitter.
  • I just ordered a pizza for the first time in months. DH thinks they are stupid expensive but right now I just don't give a crap! I want all the unhealthy expensive goodness!!!!! With the cheese sticks and dessert of course =)
    I am 27, DH is 26.
    We have been married since September 28, 2013.
    We had our first child, Zoey, February 7, 2016.

  • I missed my coffee at home this morning so this afternoon I went overboard and ordered a venti caramel macchiato from Starbucks. I have had their coffee maybe twice in the last year but today I really needed a large one
  • I just had a sip of my husband's beer and wow do I miss a nice craft brew..

    I had a tiny sip of my husband's beer tonight, too! It was SO good! I'm really looking forward to having beer & wine again!

  • I know it isn't Friday anymore, but I really do want to confess this. Lately I've been feeling like such a failure for having to be on antidepressants. I know it doesn't make me a bad person or a bad mom, but j keep beating myself up about it. What if my kid grows up and thinks that I "couldn't love them on my own" or something like that?

    I do know that for me personally,it is much more dangerous to not take my medication and that these thoughts will pass. Just something I've been telling myself a lot lately that I shouldn't be. Super annoying. Of course when people ask how I'm coping I totally lie and say I'm great, a majority of my family thinks I'm off my meds and the only people I'm honest too about how I really feel are my doctors. So yup. I'm a liar and bully to myself.
    Ohhhhweeeeellll.

    @thisusername I can totally relate. But the only thing your child will know is that you loved them so much that you took care of yourself to give them the best possible life. It doesn't make you weak or a bad mama. Take care these last few weeks! We are so on the home stretch.

    Just reading that makes me feel better. its like I know all of these things, but then you let your brain wander just a little too far and it's making up scenarios and telling you bad stories!
    I am definitely ready to see everyone's babies and my own! So close, yet so far!
  • I totally understand. It's hard to know that everything we do is right for our babies. As long as we do our best, our babies will be ok. Just keep your chin up!
  • @thisusername I can completely relate as well. Been battling those thoughts and feelings the whole pregnancy. I've beat myself up pretty damn bad over it. Just know you are doing great and the absolute best you can do to be healthy for your baby, and that is in return loving her! Just know you're not alone. You are doing great!
  • I hate when people are flamed and leave here, then they come back with one or more AEs and are extremely obvious that they're the same person... :| You're still just as irritating.
    Especially when they don't even bother to cover their tracks...they tell the same info about themselves and talk in exactly the same way they used to and look down on the same kinds of things...
    But the 15 year old in me acually kind of enjoys it...

  • @thisusername you are not a failure, if anything you are already a good mother because you do what is necessary to be healthy and to take care of your daughter the best way you can, proud of you :)
  • @thisusername your baby girl will never think you couldn't love her on your own, she'll think my mom loves me so much that she wanted to be the best mom possible for me! I think most of us would by lying if we said we never had a doubt in our mind about being a 'good' mom but just having that concern means you care and are going to be an awesome one :)
  • Thank you so much everyone for your kind words and responses!! I think I just need to see her face and see her cute little eyes look at mine and then all these inferior worries will start dissipating. It's so nice to have such a supporting community to help ease this anxiety! I can't wait to see everyone's babies and to one day say I conquered parenthood!
    Your words all mean a lot :heart:
