Confess, my pretties!

Assiram42 · October 2016

It's Friday, time to confess.

First rule of FFFC, they're not guaranteed to be flame-free.

mrlight · October 2016

I have told WAAAY more people that we are expecting than DH is aware of. I just can't keep a secret! (Plus, I'm in the mindset that I would rather people know that I had a loss, if God Forbid something were to happen, than for it to be secret. The more people that know, the more people to pray for us! Also, I wouldn't have to keep answering the "when are you having kids" question.)

wifeinraleigh28 · October 2016

Despite the fact that I have a really good job, went to school for a really long time, and paid a lot of money to be able to do what I do, I hate working and want to be a SAHM when my baby is born. DH doesn't know this and I doubt he would approve.

MotherofDragons · October 2016

I just got home from working out and am laying in my bed and sweat. I'm a disgusting human.

Edit: posted too soon

kdanjou · October 2016

@mrlight We have the same EDD!
@wifeinraleigh28 Don't feel bad about it - I was the exact same way when I had DD. I had a great job but it was just the right choice for me to stay home. You should definitely discuss it with your DH though!
My confession is that I'm so nervous about this pregnancy not working out that I don't want to tell ANYONE. Not even my mom or mother-in-law. My first u/s isn't until Nov 2 and I'm daily freaking out that something is wrong because I have barely any symptoms.

momma2char · October 2016

I started watching Christmas movies and listening to Christmas music with my DD today (1 year old). She's having so much fun, I love it! Not putting up the tree till after Halloween though

Jendink · October 2016

I'm not drinking nearly enough water. Not because I'm not trying but because drinking water actually makes me nauseous!

This was me my first pregnancy, I was so scared to tell anyone that when something did go wrong I was alone and isolated. I ended up telling people about the losses felt so much better. This time around I'm letting myself experience joy and to tell people (close friends and family). I know my excitement and happiness can't "jinx" a pregnancy anymore that worrying can fix one. I've also learned that too few or too many symptoms mean nothing

mrlight · October 2016

@wifeinraleigh28 I would love to be a SAHM, too! DH told me that I could only do that if we end up being pregnant with more than one.

verde1984 · October 2016

@mrlight Oh yeah I told two of my friends at work and DH has no clue. They've been told to tell him they didn't know until I hit 10 weeks.

brij2006 · October 2016

We told parents and siblings at 5 weeks we were pregnant with DD. This time I don't want to tell till 12 weeks for selfish reasons, because I want it to be our little secret for a while. #sorrynotsorry

I don't have many symptoms either, just tired and peeing all the time. This is sooo different from my pregnancy with DD that it is making me nervous. I try to keep telling myself that every pregnancy is different, but I also have to wait until November to find anything out. We have told close family and friends because I would want them to know if anything goes wrong anyway. I want to tell everyone, but am holding it in because I'm worried.

Same. I'm in no rush to tell.

I mean, I haven't even gotten around to actually telling my husband yet. To be fair, this is a crazy weekend and I'd rather he be able to focus on the things he needs to do.

Assiram42 · October 2016

I ate two lunches.

MotherofDragons · October 2016

I told my mom way earlier than last time because I know she'll help me around the house.

I'm a brat.

Oh my goodness, no way I would be able to keep my trap shut to my husband.
Our last chemical pregnancy I kept it quiet for 2 days. That was only because the positive test was faint. So I was waiting for a darker one before telling. That was still hard enough.

I'm not having a hard time not telling. He's doing charity work this weekend and needs to be able to do that without having to worry about me and what we're going to do with another baby. We barely have room for the one we have now.

I guess im also using this time to process how I feel about it, too.

That makes more sense. You have quite the willpower to not let it slip.

It's not easy, that's for sure!

verde1984 · October 2016

And I just told another coworker cause he offered me some whiskey and I turned him down. He just gave me a weird look and I couldn't come up with a lie fast enough. That's how the majority of my friends are going to find out I think. I wasn't even that bad a lush I think.....I just wasn't one to turn down a free drink.

jc_twomamas · October 2016

I just spent $160.50 at my girlfriends Lularoe party.

I feel like flaming myself. F.

Edit- words

HgPa · October 2016

I'm wearing my jeans unbuttoned and held together with a headband at work. I don't think Friday is supposed to be quite this casual

LMMama · October 2016

My mom is planning a trip to Disney World in early May for my DD. She's paying for all of us to go. She was going on and on about where she wants to book and all the things she wants to do. And I don't know if we will be able to go because it will be too late in my pregnancy. And I couldn't bring myself to tell her that I was pregnant because it's so early.

delujm0 · October 2016

@assiram42 when I was pregnant with DD Second Lunch around 3pm was a daily occurrence for at least the last 5 months...probably more like 6 haha. Like a full complete second meal. It was glorious.

I sent a pic of my bfp to my two besties more than 12 hours before I told my husband. Don't even feel bad about it haha. I kept the first one a secret from all but one friend until after my 8w scan because DH wanted me to. This time I make the rules haha.

sagehens47 · October 2016

@wifeinraleigh28 I was there before DD just a few years ago. Had just paid off 150k in grad school debt and left my job to be a SAHM. It's seriously the hardest job I've ever done, but only get a few years to experience it! I have other friends who did the same thing, after a decade of higher ed and training.

My confession - I'm already using pregnancy as an excuse to be lazy in bed.

QueenNub · October 2016

I'm having a small glass of wine tonight. It has been a long week.

Mrs.DeRuysscher · October 2016

My confession, as much as I want to be I'm not as excited for this pregnancy yet, I'm more scared, I'm also questioning everything can we really afford another baby, I just bought a puppy which I probably shouldn't have but we thought it would be good for our other dog to have a friend, dd isn't listening, and I'm on ei till may, trying to start a home daycare so I don't have to go back to work, but I have a deadline I really need to get it going soon otherwise I'm going to have to go back to work so we have the extra income coming in when baby is here. I really just want wine, my husband (he's gone to work 3/4days) and a good hot bath.

FSUNole31 · October 2016

Disney junior is my babysitter right now and probably for the rest of the evening. Give me all the screen time right now.

FSUNole31 · October 2016

Also completely being a brat right now...my H is at his second happy hour of the week so I knew he would do pretty much anything I asked right now to keep me happy so I ordered myself some outback to go for him to pick up on his way home. Not even feeling guilty it is a tad out of his way too.

amberp1528 · October 2016

@kdanjou have told only my close family cause they would know just by my actions but I am the same way my first u/s is November too and every little thing I freak out!

NamelessAria · October 2016

It isn't a good confession till at least one person is silently judging you and some of these are really good confessions.

Knottie42089123 · October 2016

I told my coworker today because her team is batshit crazy and I need her to keep them the fuck away from me

kahlan82 · October 2016

Sometimes when people talk to me I am screaming, "Shut up, shut up, shut up." Usually they are being perfectly nice and sometimes it is my husband and my 3 year old that I am silently screaming at.

MotherofDragons · October 2016

@NamelessAria Now I'm feeling silently judged.

NamelessAria · October 2016

@MotherofDragons haha you'll get no judgement from me for not jumping in the shower right after a work out. True story: one time I had just finished a 10 mile bike ride (which is a lot for me because I'm a bum) and I was just absolutely exhausted. My legs felt like jelly. I went upstairs and promptly collapsed into my bed, fell asleep and woke up a couple of hours later to realize that I was still wearing my sweat and rain soaked clothes and my bed was all wet. Being lazy like I am I just took my clothes off and threw them on my bathroom floor till the next time I did laundry. A day or two later when I was collecting all the dirty clothes for laundry I realized the shirt I'd worn biking had actually molded and I was never able to get the stains out. I really liked that shirt too.

QueenNub · October 2016

Didn't have wine last night. But the crib shoes I ordered arrived yesterday.

keniialise · October 2016

I had my first appointment yesterday and they told me not to travel out of the us or to Florida during pregnancy (Zika) ...Florida is my home state and a really really really long drive away with three kids and two dogs. I'm secretly so happy that they told me I'm not allowed to go! Thanksgiving or Christmas is called off for us

williamsmm2 · October 2016

I am being such a terror to my husband. This will be my second baby and I was not this mean last time. I feel like he cannot do anything right, and I am taking everything he says all wrong. I know it's me and not him, but I can't stop myself!!! Please tell me I'm not alone. I really don't mean to be.

QueenNub · October 2016

@keniialise I live in Louisiana and we are home to both mosquitos that carry Zika. The few cases of Zika originated from other places but I'm still nervous. Mosquitos bite almost all year.
