I plan on using pregnancy to get out of going to a Super Bowel Bowl (edit to change and add, yea having some BM problems, Freudian slip?) party..... The backstory: A couple friend of ours was supposed to come over our place and just canceled. Our other option is a party with friends we haven't seen in 4-5 months and I know H would like to go. I really don't feel like going across town to a larger party with people we are not close to anymore. I get tired by eight now and the thought of being at some else's place with so many people that late sounds terrible. Some also know that we were TTC and I'm not ready to tell them and they will not buy the antibiotics or whatever excuse. I'm not as football liking as him and I know he wants to watch the game with more than just me. I really don't think I care if he goes without me, now to convince him to do so or else he will sulk about it.
There's a kid from my last BMB that can do a whole alphabet puzzle with very little help. He even says most of the letters and coresponding items. My kid barely speaks. We have the same puzzle and mine just tries to eat the letters. FFFC I hate that mom for shoving her smart kid in my face. Stupid hormones! I hate everyone
DH had the face to ask me if I wanted to change spot with him since he was tired! I wanted to kill him. I told him that no, I am fine working full time, being a mom of a toddler that requires my attention, that I really enjoy the need of cooking when I cannot deal with smells and just really want to vomit, that my body is working double by the time I am growing our new LO, all of that when I just want to really rest.
While I was washing my face over the sink this morning, DD walks up behind me, grabs my butt with both hands, and exclaims, "your butt is like a bouncy ball!"
DH took DD to sell Girl Scouts cookies at her cookie booth last night. DD really wanted me to take her. As horrible as I felt telling her "Not this time", 1 - I'm beyond done with "cookie season" and 2 - damn it I'm tired and just got home from work! I want to remove my bra and pants and veg out for the rest of the night.
*Side note - my phone originally autocorrected bra to brain. Some nights I'd like to remove that too....
it took me forever to come up with an unpopular opinion yesterday, and even then, it was still really lame. So my FFFC is that I'm sooo mainstream. I don't even have opinions that don't align with a solid majority.
When I read mommy articles sometimes, I realize that at times I can be a sanctimommy.
-my mouth will hang open if your 2yo walks across the high kitchen counter and you don't reprimand them. Said kid fell off the bar chair a few minutes later.
-I will look at a 2 year old on a playground jungle gym with their parents a good 20 feet away. The playground is made for 5 year olds and there are holes for ladders where your kid can fall right off. I will shoot a glare in their direction.

Re your second judgment - that's me. My two year old is fearless and will scream at the top of her lungs at me if I make any attempt to help her on a playground designed for older kids. I let her do her thing. If she falls, she falls. Luckily, toddlers are smarter and nimbler than we give them credit for. No broken bones or major injuries.

I'm there with you on those things, and have two of my own to add. DH and I were told in the prenatal classes we took with DD that it's not safe to prop bucket carseats on the front of shopping carts (it's not sturdy and they can fall off). We hard core side eye anyone we see doing it now. (Which is actually funny because we totally would have done it if we hadn't taken the class.)
Likewise, shopping at Target recently I saw a mom that had her 16 month old daughter standing and playing in the base of the cart instead of strapped and seated in the front. I like to think I don't coddle my DD, but I also try to prevent her from participating in what I see as dangerous activities. Particularly while she is one.

To each their own but I still stand on the outside and make sure when there's a hole a good 5 feet off the ground that she's not going to slip and fall off.

I guess you're lucky to have a toddler that doesn't demand complete independence.
I let my LO take the blame for a super nasty Dutch-oven fart in bed last night. DH blamed him and then said, "well...SOMEone let out a nasty one anyway," so I think he knew it was me. But I pretended to be asleep and silently apologized to my LO.
I let DD stand/sit in the base of the cart sometimes. She's 2.5 though so she's balanced and controlled enough for it not to be dangerous. She likes to watch over all the items. She's very cautious by nature so it works, but I would never allow my nephew who is the same age do that.
Today's my 30th birthday and my suspicions have been building that DH has a surprise party planned for this weekend. If this is the case, it would be very nice of him to have done so and I would be grateful for not only him but also anyone who attended to help celebrate. But if I'm being totally honest...I don't really feel up for 'entertaining'. I mostly just want to sleep and be lazy. And I certainly don't want to put forth the effort that would be required to hide my pregnancy to everyone who shows up. And don't even get me started on how much of a disaster my house is right now. I have been soooo lazy and just haven't kept up...definitely not the time to have company! If there is a party in the works, I hope DH hired a house-cleaning service to come first. LOL!
I had to go so bad today during school, so I chose the student bathroom over faculty. Two seconds after I shut the door of where the bomb went off, a disruptive student from last year walked into the same exact stall.

hahaha, I may have said those last 3 words to my husband earlier today.

I have another confession. DD has had a ridiculous amount of screen time since my 1st tri symptoms kicked in. Like on week days when she doesn't go to mom's day out it's 2 hours a day, sometimes more. It's winter and I'm sick all the the time and I am a terrible mother. I feel like I am rotting her brain. At least it's mostly PBS shows??? I am on a mission to keep a record of her time in front of the T.V....as soon as 2nd trimester starts.
@TheTamedShrew I hear ya. Yesterday DS refused to nap so I brought him into my bed so we both could rest. We watched this God awful triangle detective show that was on PBS or WSKG. It was all about who stole this birthday cake and it was just making me want every existing dessert, but couldn't move bc DS was laying on me half asleep. In case you were wondering, it ended up being the butler and maid (also another random ho) as the main culprits. Crime solved.
@TheTamedShrew@RedMar I am right there with ya. I feel so guilty about how much screen time DS has had lately, but I just keep telling myself that it's only a few weeks and he's not going to be permenantly scarred. (From the screen time, at least )

In light of recent threads, I confess that I am so so so happy that I don't need to spend half my pregnancy obsessing about unmedicated birth this time around. I read all the books and spent sooooo much time worrying about it that it sucked the joy right out of my birthing experience. I still dream about that nap, that grape popsicle they gave me, and my cervix going from 5-10 in an hour after I got that epidural. Props to you hypno-birthers, but gimme that anesthesia STAT!
I am looking forward to my R/C. No wondering if today is the day I will go into labor. I'll have that day scheduled months in advanced! I'll be able to plan who is taking my other kids and when. And I'll get to eat whatever I want up until 12 hrs before surgery time.
Re: FFFC
I had Cheerios. Straight from the box.
Stupid hormones! I hate everyone
I took it as a compliment.
