FFFC - Time to Confess!

[icequeen]

Hi y'all! So what do y'all have to confess today? Flames may or may not be involved, so spill your guts at your own risk

[icequeen]

I've already starting parking in the "Expectant Mothers" spots at the clinic and BRU. I could probably stand to walk 20 extra feet to the regular parking spots, but my RE said as little exertion as possible. I'm just following Dr's orders, OK?! Or, I could just be lazy

[sconnie2015]

icequeen, you're just following doctor's orders! Let people judge away :-)

My confession: I had a pregnancy-induced full-on internal temper tantrum last night. My husband has been working crazy long hours (as in gone 14+ hours everyday of the week including weekends for the last 3 weeks) leaving me alone with my DD every night. This is a temporary situation and I've managed to deal somewhat okay, but I had a particularly stressful day at work yesterday and I just full-on lost it when he told me he would be home late yet again. Lost it to the point that I basically told him we weren't speaking and refused to talk to him until this morning. I refused to talk because if I had opened my mouth I would have ripped him a new one for something he really has no control over. I cried most of my drive home. In other words, I was a hot mess. Thank you hormones.

sconnie2015, that was me last week!! I spent one night crying uncontrollably for a good 2-3 hours!!

icequeen, just like sconnie2015 said, you are just following doctors orders!

As for me a confession eh? Hmmm.... I need to think about something good!

Oh I love to wear mens deodorant. Irish Spring or Old Spice. But I normally won't wear it until right before I go to bed or on the weekends so people don't think I'm weird.

+1 - I grab H's alllll the time!! I think it just works better - FFFC I wear it almost everyday and if anyone notices - I have lied on multiple occasions lol

[mrsoscarfelix]

sconnie2015, @erin2021, my horomones are out of control. Sooo many tears lately. OVER NOTHING!

[Deleted]

mrsoscarfelix, it smells so fresh!! I just can't get enough of it!

[walkek85]

icequeen, you better believe that the next time I go to BRU I'm parking in the expectant mothers spot! It makes me feel really happy!

sconnie2015, sorry about your H's working situation. My DH travels for work and can be gone for many days (currently 6 days) at a time so I understand how frustrating it can be to take care of a LO alone.

My confession is pretty lame. Yesterday we were listening to the Kids channel on Sirus/XM on our way to a play-date and the 'Under the Sea' song came on from The Little Mermaid. I cried the whole song, like a little baby. IDK if it was just the nostalgia of remembering singing along as a little girl or if I was touched that my DS might love the song like I once did. Either way, I was a hot mess!

[cindylouwho]

When my H came to bed last night, I pretended I was sleeping so I wouldn't have to have sex. I know he was planning on it, but I was not feeling it last night.

walkek85, I know the full dialogue of that movie, from beginning to end. I'm pretty sure I would cry if I watched it now too! Lol

I started crying last saturday watching DWTS because Allison was tearing up about how proud of Riker she was. Ridiculous.

I find it works better than women's!

This will sound really odd, but I just feel like women's deodorant ruins razors when you shave your pits, even if you scrub right before. I should just get that clear women's deodorant and not worry about it anymore.

[germaphobe]

hmm i never thought about that but now that you mention it @erin2021,

[germaphobe]

My FFFC is I wish for once I could be sick by myself. DH and I always get sick at the same time and his is ALWAYS worse than mine. For once I would like to be the only one sick and have DH do all the parenting and take care of me. *FANTASY*

Oh, just wait until you get sick because of LO.  Just as they are on the upswing it will hit you, and then you have to care for LO and yourself! Totally not fun.

[germaphobe]

walkek85 oh yeah been there, it isn't fun. I guess I should have included LO in that fantasy too.

My husband accidentally locked one of our dogs outside last night. One can came back in and the other smaller black one (my baby!) he thought she was in too. Well 30 mins later he hears something and gets his flash light goes outside and it's our dog! She was locked out! I said "you find out today you are going to be a father and you lose our dog...this is just great"

[silverspoon]

I see baby stuff at the store and I feel nothing. I've never been one to want to hold babies or gush over how cute they are. Kids that I know I'm good with once they are like toddler size.

I'm way better with dogs. I'm like, "Oh, cute baby", than it's all, "Aren't you the sweetest, cutest, most loveable ball of fur on the face of any planet ever!"

I'm sure it will be different with my own kid. I'm banking on that being true.

I definitely just sent an email to a supplier, and spelt my own last name wrong...and sent it.

That's the day I'm having.

EVERY time I sign my name I forget the letter "N". Not on purpose just the way I sign my name some how excludes it. Instead of Brittany it's Brittay. Oh well.

[mrsoscarfelix]

I really, really dislike all that "pretty, pretty princess" crap for little girls. If this babe turns out to be a girl - we will not being doing a pink explosion princess nursery or outfits.

[itsmeally]

I couldn't STAND when people who had kids "Just wait"ed me. Now I find myself doing it to other moms. I HATE IT.

DH and I's sex life hasn't changed as much as I thought it would. I thought that I wouldn't feel it at all during 1st tri but we've still been pretty regular.

Oh I have a really stupid confession. When I'm pregnant, I'm terrified to have sex! I did my last pregnancy but I was terrified every time!

** I know it's irrational, I know it's fine but I'm totally freaked out by it!

[reagan1010]

Tonight we are taking DS to Kidz Watch (drop in child care) so we can have a date night. I planned this specifically so DH and I can have sex. Sex wasn't allowed during my TWW after transfer, and I am so exhausted by bedtime that I haven't had sex in over 3 weeks. Mama needs to get some! We are dropping DS off and then coming back home to cook dinner together in a quiet house It will be totally worth the money spent on child care!

[diamondsndaisies]

I never have a good FFFC. Maybe I will think of one soon.

I feel the same way - Our friends have started to have babies, and now when one hands me a baby, I really have no idea what to do - I don't feel any special maternal instinct 

I've mentioned this to my mom and she swears she was the same way - and that it really does change when it's your own

I had never held a baby in my entire life until mine came. They handed me 2 and I just sat there like... "ok... umm what do I do now?!"
EDIT- it does come to you quickly though!
