My boss is working remotely today. I think I'm going to go home before lunch and work. I'm supposed to get permission, but seriously, who's going to know as long as I'm still answering emails.
Love my DH to death but I'm a little excited about his business trip next week...I can come home from work and not worry about doing a damn thing...laundry, cooking, cleaning..just vegging out with the dog

I'm with you. I love it when DH travels because I can do whatever I want without feeling guilty. I do start to miss him after a few days, but the first couple of days are fun.

This is me on a regular bases.... Literally me after 3:30 DAILY for the past few years lol
My DH used to travel A LOT...but since he got a new position with his company he doesn't go nearly as much, which will be great once we have our child....but there are times when I get an itch for him to be out of town for a few days. :P

Maybe this is more an unpopular opinion but I HATE maternity clothes... I just do not find them flattering on me at all... Specially maternity jeans I don't know where everyone else crotch is but mine is not at my knees and it seems all the maternity pants sag in the vagina lol Body con or maxi dresses the entireeeeeeeee time.
I (with a small amount of help from DH) are an entire bag of jalapeño-flavored Lays chips yesterday, but I couldn't eat more than two bites of my well-done hamburger without gagging.
I used to be big into theknot/nest/bump but I've been away a few years. I'm having a little bit of a conflict about opening up here. I'm not one to hold back usually but 1. We haven't outed the pregnancy to the world yet and i'm afraid to get caught. 2. I've seen some crazy sh*t go down in these groups and I'm a little paranoid.
I also used to be the person that was so annoyed with dumb people not reading the rules and posting things "everyone" knows is annoying, but now that I'm out of touch with all the in and outs I cringe when I see people get jumped on so quickly for being new and not knowing the culture. I'm kind of afraid to post sometimes. I look forward to the newness of it all calming down and people knowing each other better.

@howdthathappen To give us credit, our BMB has been really nice about speshul snowflake symptom threads (spotting/threatened miscarriage concerns the exception) and even repeat offenders.

Oh for sure. I love that. My last one was like that too and then some crazy psycho stuff broke out. As far as the jumping on people, I wasn't meaning specifically this group as much as the bump as a whole. Reflecting on how things change and how being on the other side is different. But I will say that I knew better than to think my FFC to actually be FF.

Yes! Don't think I haven't rolled my eyes at some posts. haha I should have specified the bump as a whole opposed to it seeming like I meant just this group.
I haven't shaved my legs in a week because I ran out of shaving cream last time and with the pregnancy related increase in hair growth I'm starting to look a little like and Amazon woman!
@AnonnAni I'm with you. Maternity clothes just look ugly to me. I didn't buy any my last pregnancy. Just dresses and workout clothes that stretched. I think I will have to buy some this time around for work.
@mcdonald-bailey I got around the work thing by buying a bunch of regular open front (non buttoning) cardigans from target and a few maternity pants and tanks. When the bump got too big I would use a belt to hold the sweater in place, but I was the same way, work blouses and stuff I wasn't a fan of
I have no confessions because I have been on house arrest with my LO. I feel like a hermit, gazing out to the world.

Maybe my confession is that, in spite of being home 23/7 (we went on car rides), my house is a wreck.
Also, I can confess that on said car rides I have taken naps in multiple parking lots when she has fallen asleep on the ride. One of these days someone is going to bust through my window.

I emailed my friend yesterday in a total tizzy because I had gotten worried that they wouldn't do an US at my first appointment. We have the same doctor and she got one her first visit but I realized that might only be because she's high risk. She assured me that there will be something. I was going to leave that appointment really bummed out if I didn't get some confirmation of how things are going in there and I had also rescheduled it, moving it a week later, so that H could be there for essentially no reason. If we had to wait until 12 weeks, H would probably miss it, due to timing of when his schedule comes out and a trip I'm taking.
tl;dr I'm trying to be chill but I'm a little bit loony.

I have so much family drama that I am boycotting all birthdays and holidays after my son's birthday stuff this weekend. ALL of it. And I don't feel nearly as bad about it as I thought I would.
After reading this I have an overwhelming urge to create a whole thread about whether I can count my packet of freezedried tangerines as a serving of fruit today.
Also, while I was trying to get pregnant I had an acquaintance who'd make regular facebook posts about eating sushi, eating unheated deli meat, eating runny eggs, going on amusement park rides she wasn't supposed to, etc. It was like 1-3 posts a week and I didn't ever speak up but half of me feels bad for being so judgmental and the other half of me is still SO bothered by her choices and I seriously don't know why I can't just let it go because literally this woman isn't even in the same state as me and we were never close.
Food is one thing but what kind of amusement park rides are we talking about, @sunshine507?

@AverageAsh I was wondering that, too. I mean, you do you, but it's kind of weird to post about it that much on Facebook. Unless, of course, she was fishing for reactions? Then again I never post anything on Facebook so I can say with 100% certainty I won't be posting pictures of me eating soft cheese crusted swordfish on a rollercoaster. Pregnant or not.

My DH is gone for two weeks at a time and I honestly love it, sure I miss him but I think if he worked a regular 9-5 job I'd go insane, I get alone time and don't have to cook 3 meals a day for him lol.
@AverageAsh she wound up posting she rode "like nothing," idk if that means she went on literally nothing or things like a ferris wheel but she was trying to go on more- but she was really really showing at that point. Her inlaws went after her for that one.
We weren't close like I said but she's always been a pretty snarky, forge her own way type which is why we got along when we did live near each other, the pregnancy just brought out another level of it (/ was a sore spot for me).
My confession- I am actually counting down the days until my stepkids go home.. the last week has made me wanna hide in my closet. If i could drink, I'd have a bottle every night it's been that bad.
@librarymom917 I feel ya. MS sucks, but I think the worst part of being pregnant again is not being able to break out the wine as I do the finally I made it through bedtime dance.
TW* I have seriously disturbing thoughts about losing this bean. I don't know why I am so convinced that it's not going to work out... My first pregnancy was a breeze for the most part (before and immediately after my SCH hemorraged)... I'm really confused why I'm being so morbid but I can't shake this feeling no matter what I do!
@sunshine507 I can understand the frustration when someone is flippant about something that is so precious and, at the time, unattainable to us.

I had sushi for dinner (disclaimer: they were all rolls with cooked fish).
I think I need that tomorrow! All I want is soy sauce and rice. Gotta dress it up somehow!
