mamaelle27 that's what I had to do last weekend. We had to bail on our friend's Halloween party because I couldn't even get myself out of my pajamas on Saturday. Just pure exhaustion!
I have the day off but I sent my son to daycare for the morning so I could take a nap and a long shower.
This is the best. I have Veteran's Day off of work, and daycare is open, and DH has to work, and you bet your ass DD will be at daycare. Probably not for her normal 8 hours, but for at least 6 of them. I am going to nap and it is going to be amazing.
In a couple of weeks my students (I teach microbiology for nurses) will get their "unknown bacterial samples" to spend the last part of the semester culturing and identifying. I'm already planning out which groups I want to assign the smelliest, ugliest looking cultures to. Every semester I pick the whiniest, most squeamish group to get the grossest ones. I justify it to myself by saying if they're going to be nurses they need to get over "ew, gross, it stinks" but it's really mostly for my entertainment.
@mombod I've been guilty of the same before. No shame!
I've had pizza for lunch, dinner, breakfast, lunch...and my in laws just called and said they'd like to bring pizza for dinner before they head up north.... That's 5 meals of pizza and I'm not complaining.

LOL! This is great!!

not sure how eating things and resting are confessions? Lol!
The teaching thing is hilarious. Someone has to have something really juicy.
I'll go... I have the most perfect baby boy at home 15 months old and I'm terrified that this new baby will distract from him and how much love we pour on him everyday. This baby was planned and prayed for and I'm sure I'm gonna love him/her but I can't wrap my head around loving someone else as much as I love #1 and seriously how can another baby be nearly as cute/perfect?? Another layer... I was also terrified when I found out I was having #1. I'm just terrible with change and adjusting. I know once this one is here I will love them both and they will both be amazing.
Lesser offense: I literally cannot stop eating. Anyone want to send me a pizza?!
@neludelu Before I had my son I was so scared that my husband would love him more than he loved me. And even though we had planned for him, I was really stressed my husband wouldn't pay attention to me.
It's funny to think about that looking back. Because it doesn't matter one bit to me now. And my relationship is even better when we became parents.
I am also feeling similar to what you've described. I can't imagine this magnitude of love for another little person.

I felt the same way. My first son was amazing. People were in awe of how he slept through the night ever since coming home from the hospital. Never cried. All of it.
Then my second came and boom I laughed at myself. I loved him so much! it didn't matter if he was like or not like DS1, he was perfect.
I'm terrified of the possibility of having twins as a first-time mom. What if I can't handle it? What if we can't afford daycare? I'll be blessed either way, but I know it would be a challenge.

@neludelu , @Wino0920 - I feel you. DD is such a sweet baby and we desperately want her to have a sibling but now I'm like, what if this baby isn't as good, what if it ruins DD's life? I'm sure it'll all work out when the baby is actually here, but I worry about this every single day. It doesn't help that I've been feeling awful and I feel like I'm wasting my "last months" alone with DD.

I'm even more terrified of having them as a STM! Going from 1 -> 3 would be INSANITY. (Note - ob doesn't think it's twins, and there's no reason to think we're having them. Just a panic!)
I'm the most terrified of twins lol. 4 kids is a lot anyhow, 5 would be... just no. I have no reason to expect them, except that my symptoms are stronger this time and my mom and husband keep 'joking' about twins.
I'm sporting my 5 week blump like a legit baby bump around the house, complete with mindless rubbing while I watch TV on the couch. Even DH rolls his eyes. He can suck it.
I taught my 8th graders about situational irony today by tricking them with a jump scare video. They definitely learn what it is through this technique, but really I just enjoy making them jump and scream.
I just want to spend Thanksgiving with MY side of the family and skip dealing with my MIL. I know we're supposed to share our great news with everyone, but I so just wanna phone it in...

Also, my cat loves it for some reason and won't leave me the fuck alone whenever I dig in.
I'm also terrified of having twins, but more so because that would make this my last pregnancy, and that makes me sad.
