FFFC (4/8)

Let's hear them, ladies!

emmaaa · April 2016

I took my bra off on the way home yesterday because it was too tight and small!

PeggyOlsonFTW · April 2016

I have no problem lying to my child. I mean, I'm not telling him things like his head is gonna fall off if he doesn't eat his vegetables, but I do tell him things like his favorite TV show isn't on/isn't working if I don't feel like watching it again for the 9,876th time this week.

FemShep · April 2016

I plan on eating at least two ice cream cones today. Drumsticks are my huge craving at the moment.

early30mom4031 · April 2016

I miss drinking. Went to a couple breweries with my husband for date night, and I was really sad about not being able to partake. I just really enjoy have a couple beverages outside with the hubs. It's going to be a long 6 months plus breastfeeding, but it's all worth it.

sjo_thetwins · April 2016

I too hate that I am pregnant during the summertime when all I want is outdoor patio summer drinks and appetizers with SO. Not to mention the smokes, I love and miss them so much sometimes.

I I also don't feel guilty for feeling this way, even though I tried so hard to get KU. I'm human and allowed to miss what contributed to our great memories and time spent together.

mothernorth · April 2016

@samijrichards I miss the smokes too. Take away my sanity sticks and then give me hormones and feels? Ugh.

I may have exaggerated the 'sanity sticks' part, I did enjoy my little smoke breaks, and I miss them.

I have a friend who I've been in constant, but silent, competition with for years. She got pregnant back in September. Well, yesterday, when we posted our announcement photo to Facebook, I went back to see how many likes they got on their announcement photo and was secretly hoping to beat them. After 24 hours, the final tally is 408 to 368... we win!

Ridiculously petty and pathetic, I know. But after months of her telling me what worked for them and what we should try (they got pregnant on their first cycle trying), it feels good to best her at something, even if it is something as trivial as likes on social media.

408 likes?!! I think you have way more friends than us. We posted our announcement on Wednesday and got 140 likes. DH and I were like "woooo we went viral!!"

AshleyGemini24 · April 2016

I was playing with my niece and was pretend crying, actually turned into for real crying.
And I'm with you ladies on missing the nick sticks. And up until our hellish last weekend I smoked a couple a week. After that, I swear I'll not light up again.

Lol we got 74....though I only have 166 friends

CopperBoom86 · April 2016

@kmalls - Haha, I wouldn't say we have more friends... we just know a lot of people. There's definitely a difference!

msBlackandGold · April 2016

We aren't posting on social media. I figure if I see you, you'll know. If I don't see you...then not knowing won't change they way they live.

A girl I know announced she was due in September on Easter and they got over 900 likes. I don't even know 900 people.

CopperBoom86 · April 2016

@emmaaa - Cheese and rice, that's a lot of people! She must not be very selective when it comes to adding friends.

I know a lot of our likes were because DH is the technical director at a large church (1,500+ membership) in the area. We have a lot of "friends" from church who know us because of his position in the church, but we don't really know them.

Flew to Arizona last weekend for my cousin's wedding. We flew Allegiant and got in late one night, rented a car and drove straight to the hotel room. The next day we drove to Tucson for the wedding and drove back on Sunday. So coming back, I typed "Phoenix Airport" into the GPS. As we got closer, my husband kept saying, "Are you sure this is the right way?" Yes, of course! The GPS isn't wrong! Dropped off the car at the rental return and then started looking for our gate, but couldn't find it. WE WERE AT THE WRONG FLIPPIN AIRPORT!!!! The other airport was 40 minutes away. Luckily, my aunt was close by and able to pick us up. We made it on the plane right as they were finishing boarding.

I would blame this one on pregnancy brain, but it could also be the fact that I am too "small town" and used to only 1 airport where I live. I need to get out more, apparently...

It's really not about "changing how they live." It's just a super easy way to let everyone know you're pregnant. Honestly, I want to avoid having to say the words "I'm pregnant, not just fat." I also don't want to have to have a huge conversation about it every time I see someone I haven't seen in a while. When you post on Facebook, everyone knows and you can move on with your regularly scheduled programing. I'd rather announce once and get it over with than to announce individually, over and over again, for months.

missmaehurt · April 2016

This week has been a week from hell. Monday our mortgage company emailed me that they can't do our loan despite pre-approval and us putting money down already. We've been fighting with them and trying to get another company to approve us all week. It seems our dream home has slipped through our fingers and we'll be renting still when the baby comes which just makes me rage.

Work has been incredibly stressful this week dealing with a "better than thou" manager who's super condescending.

And to top it all off I've just wanted broccoli cheddar soup from Panera all week and we finally went to get it yesterday and the person before us in line got the last bowl. I almost cried. It's my birthday today so this shit better improve.

lilbabybrown · April 2016

Happy Birthday @nataliemaephotography! Hope today is much better than your week has been!

blaf322 · April 2016

Happy birthday @nataliemaephotography!!! FX that things improve today!!

cd92007 · April 2016

DH and DS are leaving today to visit some of his family.. when they made the flights a while ago we decided I would stay home to save some $$. Now I'm pregnant, and I have SO MUCH stuff to do to get the rooms ready (we are moving DS to the spare bedroom and baby in his bedroom), but I have a feeling I'll be 50% productive and 50% lazy this weekend. I love my boys but I can't wait to have the house to myself for a couple days!

annabenanna · April 2016

@samijrichards @AllyTheKid and @AshleyGemini24 , I feel ya ladies on the drinking and the smoking. I smoke only about twice a year, when I go out of town on my girls' weekends. We drink a ton of wine, and like 4 of us from the group smoke cigarettes when drunk. In February at our girls' trip to Joshua Tree, the cigarette club had their cigarette party outside, while I couldn't partake.

Every time I watch House of Cards and see Robin Wright drinking and smoking, I get a little jelly.

TurtleMomma · April 2016

I'm considering taking one of my anxiety meds today because I feel like my coping reserves are 1000% tapped out. I was told by my psychiatrist to be extremely conservative with taking them during first trimester because too much can have an effect on the fetus. I haven't taken a single one since my BFP and was doing great until the last few days. I'm a hot mess.

MRSCORKER · April 2016

@annabenanna I have the biggest girl crush on Robin Wright in HOC. She is terrifying and gorgeous and brilliant and sexy. I would also like her wardrobe.

Many FFFC is that I have been partaking in diet coke about every other day. My OB said it was fine but I still feel guilty.

annabenanna · April 2016

@MRSCORKER , omg her wardrobe, YES! All her dresses are so fashionable. And her SHOES. oh the shoes. Have you seen the last season? We watched it in like 4 days. ha.

krzyriver · April 2016

I was definitely needing a smoke today too. I just had to listen to my coworkers talk for 20 minutes about how they don't mind gay people, but they're not ok with it. And then going on about how wrong it is that they're having children. I almost punched a bitch.

UponAStar16 · April 2016

I'm still hungry after having the piece of pizza and apple I brought for lunch, so I'm contemplating sneaking another break and going to pick up food to smuggle in and eat with my office door shut...

mrszoess · April 2016

@nataliemaephotography THEY SELL IT AT THE SUPERMARKET OUR SHOPRITE HAD IT AND IT LIVES IN MY HOUSE NOW

also @turtlemama I took one a few weeks ago when I was having a rough time during a bad windstorm and couldn't sleep. it was better than my heart racing at that point. have to outweigh the situation

MRSCORKER · April 2016

@krzyriver I would not have been able to keep my mouth shut. Why are people so judgy?!

@annabenanna I haven't watched this season yet. I've been binging Parenthood so I'll catch up when I'm done.

BoyMom44 · April 2016

There was a naked man in our grocery store parking lot this morning. While my entire town seemed to be disgusted and concerned I was laughing

nlane0723 · April 2016

I moved DD to the dog bed (my mom is in town and sleeping in her bed) last night so I could get 4 hours of sleep without a foot in my face. It was glorious.

krzyriver · April 2016

@MRSCORKER If it wasn't my third day back, I would have said something. But the new manager doesn't know me yet. But two of the women involved in the conversation know me from when I worked there before....and they know that I'm bisexual. And still continued on with the conversation.

sjo_thetwins · April 2016

@krzyriver I'm a real bitch when I hear people verbally confirm their hick-ness.

mariefox16 · April 2016

I too, miss drinking. I just want a margarita. Or a glass of wine. Or champagne. Yes, yes, I know, in the grand scheme of things 9 months is nothing, but it doesn't make the cravings any less real.

FFFC: My DH has been doing almost everything around the house for a few weeks now, and I feel super guilty...but not enough to actually get up and help. I'm a terrible wife.

LMNOBaby · April 2016

@MRSCORKER I, too, indulge in a Diet Coke like every other day!! You may be able to take my wine from me, my cool glass of white wine on a warm summer evening, but thank goodness I can still sip an ice cold Diet Coke every now and then. (But, yeah, I do feel a bit guilty every time...)

Also, I'm not much of a beer drinker, but I'm suddenly dying for a tall, frosty glass of beer. It's like only beer commercials are now playing on TV and everywhere I look, someone's holding an ice cold pint. So. Jealous.

LMNOBaby · April 2016

@UponAStar16 I fully support your decision to eat in secret. There are things that just must be done sometimes. I may or may not have occasionally sneaked a snack in the car in the middle of the day...as it already looks like I'm pretty much eating all day long at my desk.

Blonde1817 · April 2016

@krzyriver That would make me so mad! I'm so glad I work with people who are as liberal and tolerant as I am. One of my coworkers has been married to her wife in a stable relationship for over a decade. They have wanted kids for a long time and finally became foster parents to a one-year-old boy who was abused and neglected by his birth mom and grandma (dad was never in the picture). How could anyone really think bio parents are better for this kid just because they're straight?! Kiddo has flourished so much already in the few months he's been with them.

ejmo68 · April 2016

I had one tiny sip of my husband's wine the other night...and then I felt super guilty afterwards but it just smelled soo good. Come on Oct!

smmatt08 · April 2016

I convinced my entire family (9 people) to travel an hour and a half to our house, instead of DH and me going to them, for my dad's birthday in a few weeks and I don't feel the least bit guilty!

mothernorth · April 2016

I confess I'm questioning my parenting skills for being at such a loss with our 8-year-old...

Posted a big long history on the parenting board if any mom's want to have a look-see and maybe add their two cents.

rozANDbenSINCE2001 · April 2016

My confession: I happen to love boys/unisex names on girls and I know it's a super unpopular opinion on the BNB and I've been too chicken to post on our own name thread. DD is Dylan Rose and if we have another girl, she will be Cameron Olivia. I think it's a bit strange that so many people get mad about calling sex gender, but are quick to say giving a girl a boy's name is cruel. Either you believe in gender neutrality or you don't. I don't think having a masculine name will define my girls in any way other than the fact that they'll have cool, quirky names. Ashley, Kelly, Lauren, and Lindsey used to be considered male names too so I'm not too worried about my girl(s)-they'll be tough and confident.
