This is more of a brag than a confession. Around Thanksgiving I made white chocolate pumpkin fudge that I didn't boil long enough, so it stayed the consistency of a spread. I froze half of it and the other pregnant girl in my office asked me to bring it in today. I'm sitting here eating it out of a styrofoam cup with a spoon. The amount I gave myself would be the equivalent of multiple pieces of fudge... and I'm only getting started!
I have a confession...might as well get this party started...
DH often comes to bed several hours after I've gone to sleep (he attempts to watch TV, falls asleep on the sofa, wakes and stumbles to bed in the wee hours of the morning). Last night, amidst my tossing and turning, I somehow ended up on his pillow. And let's just say the sleep-drool has been REAL recently. I heard pregnancy results in excess saliva but holy hell! Anyway, I woke up at one point, realized my face was in a pool of drool (on his pillow), rolled over to my pillow and fell back asleep. At some point after that, DH came to bed and noticed the wet spot on his pillow. He blamed the dog. I didn't say anything and just fell back asleep. *shrugs sheepishly*
DS has his Valentines Day party at school today. Last night when I was filling out his cards, I noticed he was one short. I decided I didn't want to run out to the store at 9 pm to buy another box of cards just for that one that was missing. I'm crossing my fingers that there will be a kid who's absent today
I'm a SAHM. DD (who is 17 months) and I never miss a day of "Let's Make A Deal". We love Wayne Brady. Okay, maybe me more than her. But he voices Clover on Sofia the First, and she loves that so I feel it counts.
More people are starting to find out that I'm pregnant, which is fine. However, as soon as they find out that I'm pregnant with twins, the dreaded questions start. "Were you trying?" is annoying enough. (I figure if you didn't know that DH and I were trying, then we're probably not close enough for you to ask me that question now.) But, with multiples especially, I constantly get the question "Were you on fertility drugs?". I got it with our older twins too.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not ashamed of the fact that DH and I needed extra help to get pregnant with both sets. But again, if you didn't know that I was on fertility drugs in the first place, what makes you think that I'd want to tell you now?
I've always been very open about our fertility journey, because I know that it can be a very lonely road. But today the questions (and the person that asked me) are just rubbing me the wrong way.
OH! And the other question you get when they find out it's twins again - "Are you happy about it?" SERIOUSLY?! Yes, of course we're happy about it. I'm sorry that I'm not currently jumping up and down. But the fact is, I'm exhausted, I'm sore and damn it you're annoying me!
I keep oatmeal at work and brought a stuffed pepper from home for lunch today...and instead ate a McD's sausage biscuit and 2 hashbrowns for breakfast and the bag of chocolate chip cookies given to me by a student for lunch.
I've been having lots of sex dreams lately, which for the most part, are fantastic. They're usually about DH or a stranger I've never met.
But the other night I had the most inappropriate dream about DH's brother. I'm ashamed to say that I even reached the big O. In reality, I can't STAND my BIL! The thought of this creeps me out to no end. I might have to see him this weekend, and I'm already dreading it.
@shae86 lol your post reminded me of a dream that creeped me out! I've also been having those dreams about DH and sometimes reach the big O too. I had one the other day where DH and I were watching porn (which we don't do so it was weird dreaming about it) and the actor was Arnold Schwarzenegger (gross) and he was doing DISGUSTING things to the woman. I was SO incredibly creeped out when I woke up that I actually told myself out loud "please don't have another dream like that" over and over. Ew.
@AlwaysAuntNeverMomHa! Arnold Scharzenneger is a bad one. But I can relate to that too. I had a sex dream last week about Macaulay Culkin (grown up, sickly looking Macaulay Culkin, not the kid version. Ew.). I have no idea why pregnancy is f*cking with my brain like this. It's disturbing. I swear, I'm not really a sex maniac.
Rodney Dangerfield also made in appearance in a recent dream but THANK GOD it wasn't sexual. I don't think I'd ever be able to sleep again if that had been the case.
@shae86- I must be evil because I'm giggling away and can't wait to tell you this. I heard one time that our brains are not capable of making up people in dreams - anyone you see in a dream is someone you have seen before at some point in your life - whether you remember or not. These "strangers" you're getting it on with are reeeeeeeal!! bahahahaha
@UnwritteN12 I also can't stand it when people ask me if we were "trying". I had to go back to my campus to day to do an NCLEX (RN exam) prep test with my whole class and one of my instructors had overheard people talking about me being pregnant (I told my class, they're my people). First thing she asked me was "Were you and your husband trying to get pregnant?". My friends have asked me this and it doesn't bother me. But it skeeved me out that my instructor asked me. I usually end up joking and saying something along the lines of "no, who plans to get pregnant in their final semester of nursing school?".
My FFFC for today though is that I yelled at DH for not keeping on top of the cats s*** box. We just moved into a 1 bedroom suite, and the only place to put the litter box was in the bathroom. And since I'm in there like 75% of the time I'm home, and I can't scoop it anymore, he promised to do it once a day. Well this morning I walked in the bathroom and stepped on a cat turd that had escaped the box because it was so overloaded with...leavings. Needless to say, I tossed my cookies immediately, and then continued to dry heave because of the smell, and then started yelling at DH who was sleeping to come clean it up, and clean up the crap that was on my foot. Now he's mad at me for "being a nag". So I told him if he didn't keep on top of the cat box, I'm going to put dirty kitty litter in his pillow case.
@RedMar I can't listen to BSB or NSync without blasting them.. Get it girl!
@shae86 haha, isn't that the worst?? I hate when I have dreams like that and then the next time you see the person, you feel like they know?!!! It's the worst for me when it's someone at work, I get so embarrassed even though obviously I'm the only one who knows about it.
My FFFC is that I spent the first hour of work today watching an hour of Chelsea Does (Chelsea Handlers show on Netflix) since no one else was in yet. Sorry not sorry!
I like when DH works graveyard because I get the bed to myself and ultimately sleep better.
Yes!! DH works 3rd shift 6 nights a week (mandatory overtime) and I've just now started sleeping in the middle of the bed. I use his pillow in addition to mine too. Most of the time ever I end up stealing his even when he is home....no shame!
@mamadomino - Congratulations! You'll do great! I was really torn about hoping for a singleton or twins again. A singleton would be awesome and probably feel a bit easier. But having twins, no matter the difficulty, has its perks! The biggest thing I've found (outside of twice the love & joy) is that they have a built-in BFF and playmate. Let me know if you ever want to chat.
@UnwritteN12 Out of all the people we've told, only one person hasn't asked if our twins are "natural." I keep wanting to scream "Well, they're not aliens!" but restrain myself.
Yes, we did IVF. No, I'm not ashamed about that, but I don't think that everyone needs to know that, either. How your babies were conceived is personal business. People don't seem to realize that they're essentially asking you about your sex life.
Today was the first day I've actually kept down water and food since 5 weeks (8 weeks 3 days now). I went and spent $$ on Arby's premium sandwiches because I needed something good that I didn't have to cook. DH got mad because we're saving money. So I went and bought a living locket at Michaels.
Petty, yes. But dammit I haven't eaten food and it stay down in so long, I deserved it!
My husband is away on business next week and I put in for two PTO days. It's not that I don't want to take time off when we can share it together, but sometimes you just need a day or two all to yourself
Ummm....I totally back y'all in enjoying time by yourself! My husband is in the military and frequently away for work and he knows I love it when he's gone and I can do whatever I want here at the house! It's normal!
I've been waking up in the middle of the night every night and moving into the guest room.....mainly so I can fart without shame....this Blump is awful. Each morning my husband comes and curls up with me and I just tell him I was tossing and turning and didn't want to wake him up.
Thanks @UnwritteN12 I really appreciate it! Our first was a singleton so this really took me by surprise. I'm so freaked out about how to handle two newborns plus a toddler!
@shae86 I'm confused as to why you have my profile pic up as your own? I'm reading your post wondering when did I post this only to find you are using my picture. Please remove it!

For me, she doesn't have your picture. I will say a few weeks ago, I was checking in on a thread that I had commented on, but was confused because I didn't see my pic of my kids as I was scrolling through the post. Somehow there was a glitch and I had a random picture in place of my kids. Refreshed, and it was normal again.

About 45% of the lyrics I was singing were spot on. My version is way better.
