FFFC: I'm the biggest baby when it comes to scary movies. Even more so now with my crazy scary pregnancy dreams. I went to sleep last night refusing to let go of hubby. Every time I got up to go to the bathroom last night I avoided looking into any of the mirrors in our apartment. (We watched Oculus if that clears up anything. Bad haunted mirrors.)
That was a really scary movie so I do not blame you. It scared me and those movies usually don't.
Both my husband and I kiss our dog and tell her we love her before we leave the house. It has become such a habit that I didn't even realize this morning when the old lady who lives across from us commented on how cute it is that she hears my husband and I do this to each other, that it is actually each of us doing it to our dog. I am in bed when he leaves for work in the morning and he isn't here when I leave.
+1 I can't leave the house without telling my cat I love her.
Cat haters gonna hate.
Yeah...i do this with both our cat and dog and then tell them I want no reports of bad behavior..
My first FFFC contribution. I already hate my post pregnancy body. I've already started researching boob jobs, lasers, Botox, the works. If I'm already hating it so much pre-baby I can only imagine how it's going to be post-baby.
My FFFC: I have a million things to do to get ready for baby, and then another half a million baby-unrelated things. I desperately want to be productive, but I want just as desperately to have a nap. All week I have been getting nothing done because by the time I'm ready to do anything I'm exhausted and need a nap and then when I wake up I don't do anything either. I am so worried that this will never end and I won't get anything done and baby will come and I won't be half ready!
Nesting. True nesting will hit and you will be a fiend, and everything WILL get done because otherwise you will go BSC on everyone around you. We got our hard stuff done early, so I have no idea what true nesting will look like this time (last time I changed out all the hardware in our bathroom. It seemed critical at the time.)

With DS1 overdue, by the time he actually came I washed down every single door in the house and washed every trash can. I'd already done the baseboards and vents. Nesting is no joke!
We didn't finish our Labor & Delivery class. We went to the first day and skipped the second (it was two days). I was feeling a little worried about this, but it's not like the doctors are going to look at me and say "Didn't you learn about that in your class" mid push. I'm tempted to not go to anymore classes but DH has never changed a diaper - so we're going to the newborn care one.
We skipped our last class as well there were four 2 hour sessions and by the last one I was so freaked out because they kept emphasizing how long the first stage of the first stage of labor can take that I was ready to cry. I actually did cry about it in my ob's office come to think of it. Why would you keep freaking out a room full of pregnant ladies? Mention it, talk about it some when it's relevant, sure. But then leave it alone already.

This is exactly why I ended up deciding against going to the classes offered at the hospital and instead am just reading and researching on my own. I don't want anything fear-based creeping in and messing with my head. I figure I can ask all the questions I want to my OB, and I trust her to tell me what I need to know. It is so frustrating that there is so much emphasis placed on all of the things that could go wrong, or not necessarily wrong even but just on unpleasantness (the length of time, the amount of pain, etc). I want to be informed without being scared.
My husband and I do this as well!! I have a whole conversation with the dog before I leave. Tell him to have a good day and to be a good boy for daddy (DH is currently unemployed) When DH leaves to go run errands or what not, he has the dog sit on the couch gives him a kiss, tells him to leave his sister (bunny rabbit) Alone and that he will see him in a few hours. I wonder if my neighbors can hear us! But I have been doing this with my pets for as long as I can remember!!
+1 ...I say "be a good girl! Have a good day!" every day after she gets her "mommy is leaving for the day cookie"
It's often the only cookie she gets a day...I started it so she would associate my leaving with something good and it stuck.
Our dog totally gets a treat when we leave her alone for the day. The only other treats she gets is when we are actively training.
Fed my kid lentil soup and carrot sticks for dinner. Ordered myself a pizza to be delivered after he went to bed. Also, I hid in the kitchen to eat the last of the ice cream the other day because I didn't want to share.
When ever I eat ice cream ( which is pretty much every day) I lie and tell DS that it's Greek yogurt and then I give him a seperate yogurt:)
Babies who are born with a full, thick head of hair freak me out. I will be just as freaked out by it if my own shows up that way. I will get over it but it will still freak me out. Sad and shallow, but true.
[br
I feel the opposite. A lot of newborn babies look line old men to me if they have no hair at all. So I'm less freaked out by newborns w hair.

I, too, hate reddit. I call it SO's mistress and often accuse him of spending more time on that app than listening and/or paying attention to me. And if he needs to poo it takes half an hour BC he won't put down the phone. -.- then asks if I want to see something "cool." Yeah. Nothing on that site is cool. Last time he showed me some guys head being eaten by maggots.

Lucky for him, he is cute and I love him.
We only have 1 bathroom in our house and I get so mad at DH when I see him walk into the bathroom with the phone. I KNOW that means he's going to poo and be in there for at least a half an hour. My pregnancy bladder can't handle it so I always text him while he's on the pot and hurry him out
