FFFC w/o 3/29

mrosek91 · March 2019

I am in all day training, and have no intention of paying attention.
Please make it good this week.

aukeev · March 2019

@mrosek91 Full-day trainings are the worst. Good luck to you!

I have eaten at least two popsicles every day this week. Not the little ice pops, I'm talking Bomb Pops and Fudge Pops. Oh well.

Also, I'm trying to use our lack of big anniversary plans to talk MH into going to get a very unnecessary 4D ultrasound today just so I can see the babe for fun.

when a kid asked me what I would do if he "punched me in the stomach, like, i mean super hard" I told him id report it to the police as assault. He's 13 years old. But I don't know the kid and I got super uncomfortable with the hypothetical question, so momma bear came out a bit.

aukeev · March 2019

@BigBadWolf12 That is an incredibly inappropriate hypothetical to pose to a pregnant woman. Not that we should be ok with hypothetical violence at all. What kind of kid asks that of someone they don't know? Thirteen is plenty old to discern situational appropriateness there.

BigBadWolf12 · March 2019

Yup. He definitely has impulse control/low maturity for a13 year old. He's also the size of a 10yo so not sure if he has any diagnoses or anything , but I'll probably report the threat to the school just do they're aware. We have so many pregnant teachers at my school.

cato99 · March 2019

@BigBadWolf12 that's really unnerving! Likely a 13-year-old testing boundaries, so it's great that you answered matter of factly: this is what would happen!

My FFFC is that I bought an irrational amount of bright floral pastel maternity/nursing dresses from Pink Blush last night (I blame @dogmomma096 lol). It's like I lost my mind and forgot I only dress in black or maybe gray, and convinced myself I am some springtime earth mother goddess. I'm going to force myself to wear them and like twirl in fields of bluebirds.

mrosek91 · March 2019

@BigBadWolf12 that's crazy, I think your response it totally reasonable
@cato99 That sounds so fun! I've been using StitchFix in an effort to add more variety/color to my wardrobe, as I am too usually a black/grey girl.

I decided I should probably pay attention to this training, and made it through a slide and half. I hate when the presenter just reads off the slide. If that's what you are planning on doing why not just send me the slides to read through myself and save me 7 hours of sitting listening to you talk?

MamaK225 · March 2019

@cato99 - "Springtime Earth Mother Goddess" ... I just pee'd a little. OMG, that's awesome

That being said, I did the same back in December. So I'm paying for it now. #errthangfloral

FFFC - You guys. I did it. Nothing against those who wear or actually like Crocs, but ... they're not my thing. However, I was perusing Amazon (helllllllllooooo, my dear sweet addiction) the other night, trying to find some work-appropriate alternatives for the summer that is slowly creeping up in the deep South. I found some sandals that were described as "Women's Sexi Flip" from Croc. [insert eye roll] (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B003YBSKLI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) They came in last night, I'm wearing them today. While they don't offer much arch support, they do have good cushioning and are stable to walk in, with minimal tripping threats. I have feet that are slightly on the narrow side and I would definitely size up (I'm usually a small 10, but ordered an 11, expecting some foot-spread over the next few months), but they fit well and are actually cute. So yeah, I did it and I'm ok with it. Sigh. The things we do for comfort.

I made a sandwich for lunch, then set it aside and ate a bowl of cocoa pebbles instead. I made the sandwich first so I wouldn't feel guilty for eating that cereal.

EmilyA724 · March 2019

I like McDonald's fries and Burger King burgers and they are conveniently located across the street from each other by my work. On multiple occasions, I have gone to McDonald's to get fries, then driven across the street to get a whopper.

lilmamabebe3 · March 2019

I spent $15 on Uber eats today because I wanted $3.00 fries but didn't want to pay the $2.00 small order fee.

I also have been avoiding any work with my two year old. I keep saying I can't lift him up and that he's kicking me in the stomach (which is true, but not maliciously, he's just silly) so that my husband has to get him dressed and change his diapers and I get all the fun stuff--the snuggles, the bath time, etc. It's pretty great.

Allycat11 · March 2019

@EmilyA724 that is a very good choice. Ours are across the street from eachother as well and that has crossed my mind several times.

grangerhp37 · March 2019

I went for my first wine tasting with friends when I was a senior in college. We had gone out drinking the night before, and I was super hungover that morning. Like almost barfed twice on the drive to the winery. Needless to say, in the middle of the tasting I felt sick so I literally ran to the bathroom, threw up in the toilet (this was a public bathroom so there were other women in there), then went back out to finish the tasting.

I did feel way better after getting sick, but there’s no way I could survive that now! I’d be in bed for a week if I was that hungover, and definitely couldn’t keep drinking all day!

grangerhp37 · March 2019

@BigBadWolf12 Ugh what an inappropriate and creepy thing for that kid to say. I like your response - no messing around!
@cato99 Glad I could influence your shopping spree! The dresses I bought were for a wedding and another party this summer, but I’m also hoping to find other reasons to wear them! Twirling in a field of bluebirds sounds like a good plan 😂

wanderlustsoul · March 2019

@dogmomma096, 2 days before I found out I was pregnant, I got so ridiculously drunk. I had been trying not to drink since we were trying but...2 drinks turned into a lot more. Like I got lost trying to get home, sat down outside and cried that all the buildings in Amsterdam look the same and I didn’t know where I lived. Then when I finally got home (still don’t know how), I threw up all over and my poor H just took care of me. I was so unbelievably hungover the next day and had to somehow rally to go to a drag queen show with my friends. I felt like I was dying and couldn’t even keep down water. I like to say that It was a good goodbye to drinking. Getting pregnant was good because I did more drinking in the 1st 6 months of my MBA than the last few years combined. 😱 I think this is all flameful haha.

goldfishcraker · March 2019

@cato99 you made me laugh so hard I almost peed...

My FFFC... 6 days ago DH woke up with a sudden sore throat. He thought it was strep. Last time he had strep, he got septic (super, potentially dangerously sick).
So I babied him. Built him a little nest, got him different drinks all day, cooked for him, fetched meds and lozenges, catered to his every whim.

2 days later it became obvious that it's not strep.
Just the dreaded "man-cold".

I keep laughing at him as he lies there "dying" from the sniffles.

And I've stopped waiting on him hand and foot.

Part of me feels bad when I find myself laughing and rolling my eyes.
Part of me wants to say "suck it up princess".

I'm a terrible wife, and worse human being 😂

peachy0709 · March 2019

HAHA, @chillycanadian that reminds me of when DH had Hand Foot and Mouth (thanks, first born in daycare!!!). I had had it first and it was HELL ON EARTH. DH basically dismissed it and was like "It's fine." So fast forward to when he had it a few months later, I was not at all sympathetic and made him walk a ton on burning, blistered feet during our vacation in NOLA. I actually still don't feel bad, but I feel a little bad that I don't feel bad.

sourlemon · March 2019

@dogmomma096 the first time I met MIL, we took her wine tasting. I had chocolate cake for breakfast that day because thats all that was in my house. I had WAY TOO MUCH and was feeling sick on the way home (in my defense, I was in the back of the car on a windy road and I get car sick). Well, about 20 minutes into the 45 minute drive, I puked. Yeah...I'm sure that left a great first impression! DH and I had only been dating for about 4 months at that point...I'm lucky he overlooked the little incident!

goldfishcraker · March 2019

I've got a new FFFC..of sorts.

I'm suddenly panicking.
*TW*
I guess the confession is that when I got the BFP, I didn't really think I had any chance of being successful. Every single day I was scared and convinced that "this will be the devestating day I lose it..." With my history, and then the daily spotting, I honestly didn't think I would actually get my rainbow.

End TW*

So now, I'm almost half way there. I'm starting to actually feel baby move. I started getting excited that this is actually real. And suddenly now I'm starting to panic that it is actually real. It's like I'm not mentally prepared because I spent so much time worrying and expecting the worst.

I know there is so much I don't know. There are so many "what ifs". And no way to know what's gonna happen until it happens.
Holy crap.

suzycupcake · March 2019

@chillycanadian 💛 You’re not alone. 💛

Beauxbaton · March 2019

@sourlemon the first time I met my MIL she was still in rehab. I didn't even know she was a drug addict. Lol.

goldfishcraker · March 2019

@suzycupcake thank you! ❤️
And to everyone else for the love

jrm_14 · March 2019

@chillycanadian I’m in your boat, too. I am still pretty resistant to making plans for when baby comes vs if baby comes. We have this, though 💜

MamaK225 · April 2019

@chillycanadian - I'm right there with you. I *just* bought a set of onesies and two outfits that loosely match a few of DD1's ... and I had this moment of dread like "I just cursed this!" I don't think it ever goes away until you have that soft squish in your arms - and then the new worries start. Just one day at a time

FFMC: I meant to do this stupid annual training this weekend for work. This week is super busy and I have zero time for it ... but I didn't do it and No Ragrets. Honestly, I think I'll start it now just so I can have it done with AND have a decent excuse to delay actually working today.

agpandme · April 2019

I had no idea roses didn't like to be in pots. DH got me a rose in a bag 9 years ago for our first Valentines day. I've had it in a pot ever since then. I've changed the soil 2 or 3 times, I never fertilize it. It looks like shit. I just re potted it and gave it new soil. Our 10 year anniversary is today so we bought another rose yesterday. The professionals said roses hate to be in pots. Now I feel horribly guilty about this poor plant that has been essentially tortured and starved for 9 years and somehow hasn't died. I'm planning to plant them both in the ground now after we built something to keep the deer and goats away from them. But my guilt hasn't subsided.

wabash15 · April 2019

@chillycanadian When we got pregnant with the twins (before we knew it was twins) we had tried for years and done a year of fertility treatments, TW** with a loss** and I woke up one morning thinking "holy shit, what did we do!" its a totally normal feeling. You have plenty of time to get a plan together and really in actuality all you need to have are some diapers, a car seat and a few onsies for when this kid arrives, everything else can be sorted out later.

goldfishcraker · April 2019

@jrm_14 @MamaK225 and @wabash15 thank you ladies! ❤️ It's nice to know that I'm not alone or crazy for being nervous!

I'm trying to not worry about breastfeeding, because I know stressing will just make it harder.
And last night I was looking into doulas again. DH says he is willing to do whatever I need. (Also looking into prenatal/birthing classes, but there don't seem to be many good options around here. And for $200 for the class...it seems like maybe a doula would be a better investment...)

Just keep breathing...
We've got this!

MamaK225 · April 2019

Breastfeeding just is what it is. You can learn all the theory and holds behind it and it will help, but ... you just gotta do it and decide what works. And either it is "for you" or there are alternatives (exclusively pumping, etc.). You'll figure it all out in due time

purplg8r · April 2019

@wabash15 thank for that! There have definitely been a couple of times lately that I’ve thought, crap—I’m too old to have my life turned upside down. Then immediately felt guilty after everything we’ve been through.
