Flame Free Friday Confessions?

[threetaboos]

No FFFC today?

I guess I'll get it started. I had been attempting to lose weight before finding out I was KTFU. Since I got my BFP, I've used it as an excuse to eat all the things I had avoided before. I'm sure I'll be gaining a little more weight than I should 1st tri.

[physiomeg]

We had agreed that we would tell both sides of our parents about the pregnancy roughly around the same time to avoid any hurt feelings. Deep down, I really don't think my in laws deserve to know sooner than the general public. I'm dreading telling them because I know it means that we will have to speak to them on a more regular basis. I'm working on getting over it for the sake of my husband.

I told my new boss at work, but I haven't told my mother yet. I think we're going to tell her tonight. She suspects something is up, because I've been looking off.

Another confession: In my new office, I'm listening to the receptionist and the coordinator discussing their diets and they are so. wrong. They are not following healthy or realistic nutritional plans.

I'm judging.

It's probably partially a crackers situation, because one of the girls irritates me a bit.

The girl I share an office with called in sick and I could not be more happy about it! She is always here (obviously) and always talking to herself

haha, I can relate to this! My office mate is sweet as pie but is super chatty, including having long conversations with herself.

I've never been to Jimmy John's. I have no idea what a Jimmy John is, actually.

I don't like the idea of hormonal contraceptives. I took BCP for a little while as a teenager and again 5 or so years ago so I'm not against it or anything like that. It's just not for me - something about disrupting the natural process of my body doesn't feel right.

DH's grandmother is town with her new husband and we told her about the pregnancy. I absolutely dreaded saying anything. She's a meddling, tacky, gold digger who says racist and rude things all. the. time. I have to spend the rest of my life listening to her comment and intrude on this pregnancy and the child itself. I knew it was inevitable, but it's still so infuriating.

Sandwich shop a la Subway or Jason's Deli.  Only they are on campus and deliver.  Some people go nuts for it.  It's fine.  The main attraction was delivery that wasn't fast food.

One of the biggest attractions of the new job was no longer sharing an office.  Granted - there are two entrances to my new office, and the safe, finance files and the keybox are all in here, so it's open all the time and I hear all the clinic conversation from reception, but the point is I can close both doors if I really want to.  HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Not only did I get congratulated today by my assistant principal but two out of the three secretaries. It seems my principal is on a tear with sharing my news. I only told him because I needed to make sure I got the day off for my ultra sound since it conflicts with state testing.

I'm the same way. I'd been on the pill since I was 14 and I went off them at 29. One of the reasons I'm happy for this pregnancy is because H will get a vasectomy right after #2 is born, and then we won't have to have the birth control discussion ever again. (H wants me to take the pill again; I make him wear condoms.)

cnf2013, how rude of your principal to be so indiscreet with your news.

[anonymouseliza]

So I told my boss and now whenever she sees me (infrequently, as I shuttle back and forth between departments and she's had a huge home disaster that involves all her work being destroyed and having to move into an apartment for 3-4 months)- she lowers her voice, leans in and says very meaningfully "How ARE you? Doing ok?"

Someone's going to overhear and think I have cancer if this keeps up. Though I appreciate her attempt at discretion and her kindness.

That would make me really irritated. Not just because it's so personal, but because it should be your news to share- and when you're ready.

mosy DH is getting a snip too. He's like all ready to schedule and I'm like I think we wait til the baby's here...

Yup. My same thoughts. I wonder if it maybe had to do with scheduling all us teachers to proctor. But even so he could have said I had any of a million reasons to be out that day, or not given one at all because he is the boss and decides if I can have the day off or not anyways and just said I would absent and not to schedule me.

I want to tell our parents pretty soon... but MH is all worried because our last pregnancy ended in MC... We still told them about the MC so I'm figuring it doesn't matter either way.

That is how I feel.  I'm going to tell the exact same people I told early last time because I would tell them if I had another loss anyway.
