@serenaxo84 I'm definitely not deep cleaning or exercising, I'm mostly just fixing food for us and helping DD if she needs something. I've still been good about not lifting anything. Its just I've been on bed rest for 10 weeks and it's like enough is enough!
@amye102485 well that's good! I get it- bed rest with a toddler at home is near to impossible! I hope you are feeling well otherwise!
I guess my FFFC is that cupcake thing made me gag a little. In my defense, I've been feeling pretty crappy today so I'm blaming that!
My real FFFC: I've been letting the kids watch My Little Pony and Transformers all freaking day because I'm so huge and tired and uncomfortable, I have no desire to anything "fun." 18 days until school starts! Which brings me to another FFFC: I've yet to enroll DS in preschool. I hope they have space available.:/
On the creepy belly button, mine popped with my second baby and now it's just a disaster. I honestly have to hold it when I sneeze, cough, or laugh really hard because it shoots out. So there's that to look forward too. @kamroberts We spent a few days without A/C recently and it was AWFUL! I feel for you and hope you get it fixed soon.
I guess my confession is I don't think breakfast food is that great. I mean, I don't dislike it but I would choose leftover pizza for breakfast over tranditional breakfast food anyday.

My confession is also that I don't like breakfast food really. I mean, since I've been pregnant I crave scrambled eggs and grits, but before I would totally pick a sandwich over that.

I totally agree. Except for cereal, but I prefer that at night, so it doesn't really count as breakfast.
@annabenanna I do the same with my registry!!! Totally judgey... whatever lol.
@kamroberts UGH I feel you on the 100 degree heat! I'm in Los Angeles and it is so gross. I hope they get your AC fixed soon!
I also have an abyss of a belly button and it creeps me out that it is starting to poke out. My mom told me to put a band aid over it lol
My FFC's...
Just had McDonalds for the 2nd time this week. I have GD though, so I only have a quarter of the fries and half the burger... that makes it better, right? Hey, my blood sugar numbers are still in range! I also waited until DH left for work to get it because he's judgey about my love for McDonalds. But you're killing me with that melty brownie cookie picture!
I can't help watching Keeping Up with the Kardashians. If it's on, I try not to even turn it on because I know if I do then I MUST watch. And I feel like they rarely show one episode, it's always several back to back and then I lose hours of my day. I don't know what it is! I don't follow them otherwise, and it's not like I'm a fan. Once it's over they fade back into the other stuff I don't care about and I don't think about them. I just can't help it, like a train wreck.
ETA - I also told my boss that I'd start working as soon as I finished my doctors appt (I work from home), which I said may be as late as 1:00. I finished at noon, grabbed lunch, and have been bumping since. I obviously won't clock this time, but I could have been working instead.
@MRSCORKER@CopperBoom86@MorganL925 Awesome. I'll take all those pancakes y'all aren't eating because breakfast food has been my jam during pregnancy! At the beginning all I could really eat was grits, but now it's pancakes every weekend.

Also, I'm with you on the dislike for breakfast foods, @MRSCORKER #teamleftoverpizza all the way!
@AllyTheKid I'm sorry about the situation with your brother. I would make myself scarce too. It's hard to love someone unconditionally in that situation... You want the best for them, but they need to want the best for themselves too.
@AllyTheKid sorry about your brother. It sucks to have to avoid a family member, but it's probably much better for your mental well-being to avoid being around him.
@Julia70286@ignoscemihi I was pulling up to my house at 3:00, noticed his door was wide open (next door), didn't want him to see me pulling into the driveway so I pulled back out real quick and left to get a refill on my pop... I feel like such a punk. I'm back now, but only because my aunt stopped over there and I knew she would be a good distraction while I snuck in.
Not only is my innie now an outie, but I'm 99% positive that my navel piecing is infected (my OB looked at it and ASKED me if it was infected...), and it now crooked thanks to my no longer innie.
Breakfast food is the best! But I prefer it for lunch or dinner and I like cold pizza or sandwiches for breakfast. Today I had breakfast nachos for lunch. They were so bad for me, but so amazing.
@kamroberts I feel you - our a/c has been up and down all summer. We have been saved by window units. Unfortunately our warranty company has been completely uncooperative =( Here's hoping your fix is quick.
Okay this one is bad and I do feel bad but I'm at my prenatal class, waiting for it to start so I decided to go pee. Well the urge to poop came on (been poopin all day - think my body is trying to get rid of something) so as you know if you gotta go you're gonna go! Well there was a line up of pregnant women waiting for the stall. sorry pregnant lady that used the stall after me!!! And now I'm in class with her!
@LauraPCOS lol girl! I almost had the same FFFC earlier...because of all the gas this lovely third tri seems to be producing, I feel like everytime I pee, I can't help but fart too. About 4 weeks ago, I was shy about it and would hold it in if someone else was in the bathroom in the next stall or two. But lately, I'm like "i've got no time to pretend, and i really don't want to be holding in this gas, sorry folks".
Eggs Benedict will probably be the first thing I eat when I'm done being prego - even before booze or a giant espresso. I've abstained bc of my paranoia about poached eggs and hollandaise sauce.
I have a co-worker from India who said that one thing America really has going for it is breakfast: waffles, pancakes, eggs, bacon, etc.
I need a bagel every morning and if I can't have a bagel I need a waffle! Oh and cereal all day, everyday!! Eggs are an aversion right now.
Married 11-11-11 TTC only since Dec 2015. I had some weight to get off. Been working hard in the gym for over a year. BFP 02-15-16 with our first IT'S A BOY!!!
@MorganL925 That is almost the recipe I used! I originally got the idea from a package at William & Sonoma but I'm not high class enough to afford that store so I looked online and it basically said 1. Prepare brownies dough according to box instructions. 2. Prepare cookie dough according to box instructions. 3. Fill muffin tins halfway with brownie dough, then plop spoonful of cookie dough in the middle. 4. Bake according to brownie instructions. I had packaged brownie mix from home but made the standard toll-house cookie recipe and baked slightly longer than brownie box called for (because I used silicone muffin cups) and they are PERFECT. I apologize that that was so long, but everyone needs to have this recipe
I just want a damn waffle right now. Just one, fluffy, golden, perfectly crisp Belgian waffle... Blanketed with a thin layer of smoothe, creamy peanut butter topped off with warm, thick syrup
Bacon, scrambled eggs, and sausage links on the side, and screw it, give me some toast as well... maybe a ham steak instead of sausage?
I'll happily take all the breakfast food you ladies despise.
@allythekid I've been wanting an eggo waffle with butter and aunt jenima syrup and I can't seem to make one to my liking! Where it gets all soft and buttery and maple syrupy!
I'm pretty sure I'm not under the 200mg of caffeine a day recommendation... but I'm not tracking it because I don't want to know. I wouldn't be able to work every day without it!
I have no advice really, Eggos are my "last resort" waffles haha I will say how long you toast them and whether or not you flip them around while toasting matters. You don't want them too crispy or they just don't take butter and syrup as well.
I would pay somebody to take me to IHOP right now. I need a new waffle iron...
@ibabyloveb87 I'm making myself hungry. Alas, I have left my bed for no other reason than to urinate thus far... But I HAVE checked amazon for a new waffle iron, and looked up several different waffle batter recipes. So I'm kind of being productive... sorta?

Waffles are never my favorite bfast food. But for some reason I have wanted them! And Ive never thought to flip them! I'm more of a cinnamon French toast fan! But I usually order eggs.

Hate bacon, hate sausage and.pretty much everything else. I ordered the breakfast burrito with no egg.
Bring on the burger for breakfast!!
