FFFC 6.3.16

LastMango · June 2016

I didn't see this up yet. Please ignore if I missed it.

If not, let's hear your confessions!

emilyn2012 · June 2016

Ohhhh these are my fav!!!

i don't have a good one.... Although when I stopped at Dunkin this morning and ordered my bagel and they offered me a free donut for national donut day I totally took them up on it and had both for breakfast.

emilyn2012 · June 2016

Oh and also.... Sometimes my only motivation for going to the gym after work is that it means I get some "me" time before I have to handle my crazy 18 month old. Worst. Mom. Ever.

I ate a hot dog and a cold deli turkey sandwich on Memorial Day

I haven't washed my hands with soap in a public bathroom since becoming pregnant. The smell of the soap they use makes me dry heave even when I'm not pregnant. (I do run them under water and then use my personal stash of germ-x though).

Ugh! The struggle is real! I posted about my aversion to hand soap on another thread.

I have been going into the community section for Jan 2017 in What to Expect and making some serious judgey face. The last week has been consumed with a fight about the community being "too negative" because people, like, keep posting about their miscarriage, and it's just like, totally bumming everyone out, and shouldn't these women take their sadness over to the grief and loss board? This PGAL lady is getting pretty PO'ed...

So my FFFC is that I've decided that The Bump is clearly the superior community. After extensive research and being a Judgey McJudgerson.

emilyn2012 · June 2016

@poetryandoceans so I ALMOST used that bc someone told me the bump wasn't so great any more (which I disagree with) but when I looked there were like THOUSANDS of people. I couldn't deal. And yeah if you have a m/c you get to post where ever you damn well please.

poetryandoceans · June 2016

@emilyn2012 I will say that they have weekly videos that tell you about what is going on with your bean, which I really enjoy, so I'll continue to use those. But I am staying away from the community like the plague.

colleenkevin · June 2016

@poetryandoceans YES! I've lurked over there and I just can't anymore. It hurts my brain.

susykat77 · June 2016

@poetryandoceans I watch those videos as well - even though that lady drives me bonkers. I wish she would wear a different shirt each week.

My FFFC: I am so excited that the Bachelorette is back on! While watching that show I usually cringe out of embarrassment but I just have to watch it. In fact, no once in my group of friends watches that kind of TV - or really much at all. I am a closet bad TV watcher.

ashanne88 · June 2016

@susykat77 I love the bachelor/bachelorette. It's like a trainwreck, you just can't stop watching no matter how cringe-worthy it gets.

Josie3=5 · June 2016

My FFFC is that I haven't been really focusing on work today. I have a shitload to do but I've been making a ton of 'have you seen me? Lost cat' posters because my cat is missing I'm so so sad and i can't stop my mind from playing out horrible scenarios.

Other confession - i want to eat my feelings in food but my stomach is not accommodating my desire. So I've been eating until i feel sick and then wonder why i ever did it, knowing that i feel worse than when i started. I'm failing at logic today.

Jkp7749 · June 2016

I've given up on cooking and cleaning. My house was dirty as could be this morning and I decided to go on a playdate instead. When dd napped, I watched TV. Yesterday, I skipped everything too and took dd to look at toys to get ideas for her birthday. When dh gets home, I'll just act like we were too busy. Maybe soon I'll find my motivation again...

poetryandoceans · June 2016

@susykat77 I agree, I find that woman a bit annoying too. But solid info and I really like the computer imaging of what the wee one looks like at that stage of development. I admit I didn't even notice she was wearing the same shirt in all of them. Would it have been so hard for them to rotate out a few different tops???

ThePax89 · June 2016

@cjs260 nooooooooooooo stop! I'm glad you use some sanitizer. My purrell gives me the heaves.

KimC85 · June 2016

The bump app also has videos. When you click on "how big is baby" and scroll past the development and symptoms stuff, there's a weekly video.

I hope you find your cat soon! That must be so scary.

ladysaceb · June 2016

My confession: Other than doing the minimum of what I had to get done today, I pretty much laid on the couch the rest of the day. I am just at the 6 week mark today but I am so tired it is a bit ridiculous.
It is only 7:30 and I am ready for bed.

ETA: hit the button to soon.

christac1010 · June 2016

Sometimes I go up to bed early just so I can burp and pass gas without DH knowing about it.

I talk to my belly alllll the time. I don't even think DH knows I do it.

I heard on a podcast if you've had a cat for an extended time and changed the litter, you're fine to continue doing it throughout pregnancy because you've already contacted the virus. I'm just not going to tell DH that one. Not that I think he would let me do it anyway.

Wait seriously?? What insensitive witches. Yeah, definitely stay here please *hugs *

Dinozaur · June 2016

I can't actually tell if this is bloat or poor lifestyle choices. I feel like it's too early for it to be the former.

TinaBelcher · June 2016

::hugs:: @Josie3=5!! I hope you find your cat ASAP!

loveinak · June 2016

@Josie3=5 I hope you find your cat! That's so nerve wracking

azwildcat62 · June 2016

I still think about wanting an adult beverage nearly every day! Sigh...

I'm sorry to hear about your cat

any luck finding him/her?

Josie3=5 · June 2016

Thanks all for the check-in. We still haven't found her

Trying to manage my four year old's expectations while not dashing them to the ground. This cat is like a dog in a cat suit - she's SO awesome with my kids and has been through so many things with me. The bright spot is that our posters have been working and we've gotten four or five phone calls from people who have seen her. We've combed the neighborhood each time we get a call and so far, have come up empty-handed. I'm remaining cautiously hopeful that a miracle happens? Ugh, I miss her. But thank you all so much for asking and thinking about us.
