Confessions....

Thanks to Cecily who referred me to the Baby Center website... I read a post all about confessions. You can come here and just confess all you want pregnancy related or not, it's such a fun thread to read! I'll start.....

I confess:

I give into my cravings regularly, right now I'm craving a thick fudgy chocolate milkshake and just may venture out into this horrible rainy day (I'm in FL) to get one after lunch!

I wish the Olympics were over so my husband would join me in bed before 4am!

I wish Tropical Storm Fay would kick into gear in my area a bit more so I can go home!

I've gained 8 pounds already in my first trimester!

I wish I would go home every now and again to dinner already prepared, even if it is just take out!

I'm craving the boneless habanero wings from Chili's a little too often... it's all about the spice for me right now!

****

I guess mine aren't so bad... but this is just today!! What do you confess?

I confess to eating alot of junk since I've been pregnant, way too many cheeseburgers and fries.

I confess to not drinking enough water, although I'm trying but I hate water unless I'm in Spin class and I'm not doing that right now.

I confess to sometimes wishing that my bf didn't already have 2 kids so this baby could be our first.

I confess that since I've been pregant his kids get on my nerves a whole lot.

I confess to speaking my mind a lot more, telling people off who've deserved it for a long time(like my Father) since I've been pregnant too.

I confess to constantly looking at other pregnant girl's fingers to see if they are married because I'm not and it sometimes bothers me.

I'm sure I have more but I don't wanna confess too much :/

hello,

i confess that i have been giving into cravings alot too. i eat dessert everyday.

I confess that i too have not been drinking enough h20 as well, ( even though i have been continuing my daily exercise of at least an hour) and have been enjoying a diet pop once and a while.

i confess that i have been worried about my weight, even though i have only gained a pound so far in the first trimester.

That is all for know:)

 No joke!  My husband doesn't have to work today.  My daughter's out of school.  I'm still here.  :(

I just ate a 10 piece McNuggets.

Juliemae... my kids have been off for two days. Tomorrow they're on an hour delay! And I just sit at work.... *sigh* I think they're all getting cabin fever at home!

I have a really gross confession! I gave in and got the shake... it worked wonders on my pregnancy constipation, but WHEW, do I ever feel better!!!

oh boy......here i go:

-I confess that I don't pick up the phone when I check the caller ID and it's members of family I don't want to talk too-  and blame it on me/baby sleeping/BF'ing.

-I confess that I've been eating way too much chocolate and have been using chocolate as a meal replacement

-I confess that I need to take colace every single night to get myself to go to the bathroom!

-I confess that I"m letting the baby cry a little more while I'm writing this

-I confess that in my heart I don't think my DH is excited to be a dad nor does he take any interest in me-  he works way too much and just planned a biz trip for a whopping two weeks next month.  I think he thinks that I purposely didn't take my pill to get preggo.

-And, finally; I confess that I use a dishtowel as a burp cloth at 4/5AM b/c I'm so freakin'tired and can't see straight!!!

wow-

Oh Vanessa, you are in that postpartum funk hun. Get someone you can talk to about it (besides us). Men are slow to come around to things sometimes.  Though they shouldn't be!

My confessions...

I confess to being relieved that my baby's father isn't involved now. I rather like having all the choices myself and not having to deal with things I hated about him; the smoking, the drinking, the going nowhere fast lifestyle, the no returning phone calls...

I confess to being happy that I have not gained weight in the last 8 weeks. I know baby growth is fine, so I figure less to lose.

I confess to being an exercise addict even in my pregnancy and having guilt when I don't get in a workout.

I confess to having NO cravings this pregnancy. LOL! Wierd, I know.

I confess to having no real close friends around me and never having adult time.

I confess to wishing for a beautiful baby and wishing my ex had been a better donor. LOL!

 

 

I confess to having ice cream...every night.  Yikes!  I try to make sure the portions are small.  :)

I confess to being desperate for the baby to be born.

I confess that I spent good naptime yesterday playing on the internet instead, trying to find safe, natural ways to induce labor.

I confess to trying some of the labor acupressure techniques I read about (like massaging the webbing between your index finger and thumb, or right above the inside of the ankle). 

I confess that I'm jealous my husband is sleeping right now, and I'm with the 2 year old (hubby worked a 24 hour shift, so I know he's tired). 

I confess to really wanting to have a boy this time..... already have two girls.

 

I confess to

Having a donut for breakfast the last three mornings :[

Not having worked out in over a week :( :(

I confess that I am very jealous with this pregnancy.

I confess that I am very grumpy!

I confess that I hate it when things dont go my way.

I confess I don't want my in-laws at the birth of this baby.

I confess that I wish we were rich and done with school before we have this baby. (not going to happen..that is why it is a wish)

I confess that I want to eat all the time.

I confess I get mad about my weight and then eat a cheeseburger for dinner.

Ahhhh very good idea flgirl!  :)

I confess that I went to the doctor and at 29 weeks i've already gained about 35-40 lbs and it took everything in me not to cry in the examining room while i was waiting for the doctor. At this rate I'll gain a good 65-70 lbs by the end!!

I confess that even though my weight gain is bothering me so much, I'm still giving into cravings and not exercising... bleh. This is actually why I'm on here... to start logging my food so I won't gain any more.

I confess that I couldn't sleep last night because I'm freaked out living alone right now.

I confess that for the past few days I've been putting off going to the bathroom because it's a pain in the rear to unfasten the safety pin and get it back to where it was beforehand....

 

this is such good therapy!  I have more confessions as of today LOL

-I confess Shill is right and was going through major postpartum funk.  But, the hormones are easing off; I'm feeling much better and now I can actually go to the bathroom without feeling like I'm in labor all over again :-P

-I confess that every time I go to the store  I buy some chocolate for the house.

-I confess that I do have coffee and then breastfeed a few hours later (yikes)  She hasn't had any tummy issues or sleeping issues at this point....

-I confess that sometimes I let her cry it out for a few more minutes  b/c it takes me a while to get my sorry a$$ out of bed in the morning.

-I confess that I weigh myself before and after I breastfeed; and there is somewhat of a difference.

-I confess that when my milk drops in (is that let down?) that it feels like there are electric currents flowing through my boobs and it hurts really bad!!  But, I don't mind b/c i want to BF for as long as I can!

Vanessa--

Don't feel bad if you let your little one cry for alittle longer.  It isn't going to hurt her at all.  To tell you the truth...sooner or later it will help her learn to soothe herself.  As for coffee and breastfeeding...I wouldn't worry about that either!  There are much worst things you could be doing!  Like drinking a beer and going straight to breastfeeding...lol :) And lets face it...we all need some pick me ups from having a newborn around!

Your a great mama!  Don't let these little things bother you.  I am glad that your feeling better.  I know when I had my first--I was horrible.  I felt like Tim didn't find me attractive....and the baby was a pain!  I gained over 60 pounds with her..... I wouldn't have blamed him if he didn't want to touch me...I was gross looking! haha  We worked through it though....and are even closer today because of it.  The second time so far has been much easier than the first.  Guys need some time to adjust and sooner or later they learn! :)

 

 

Nothing wrong with coffee and breastfeeding.  Just google it and you will see plenty of support for it.

No worries my dear.  I drink 2-4 cups a day.  4th kid.  If thats the worst thing they get ahold of then great, lol.  And he still sleeps ALOT!

Confession--

I confess that I ate and ate and ate just to be eating all weekend long. I confess that something in my head triggered my mouth and I couldn't quit. I was bored not even hungry.

I confess that I have gained 6.5 pounds since my last Dr's appointment and I am only 23 weeks along. (shhhshhh fatty! haha)

I confess that I hate how my clothes look on me...but then turn around and eat more...and try and block it out of my head.

I confess that I want to look pregnant but in some outfits I just look fat! (Which bugs me to no end but yet I keep eating!)

I confess...that I say I am going to get on track and then don't do it.

I confess that I am mean to my family when I am mad about the way I look.

I confess that I need everyone’s support to help me get back on track. I want to do the right thing and eat healthy and get the exercise that my baby and I so desperately need!

I confess that calorie-count is the only reminder that I have that I need to do these things!

I confess to wishing I didn't like my boss so much! I would really like to find a new job in an atmosphere I am more comfortable in. All the men around here (electrical contractor) make me feel uneasy most times!

I confess to wanting to "bitch slap" any and every person who thinks it's cute to call me a name like "pudge" or "chubby cheeks" (again, at work!) instead of by my real name.

I confess to calling one of my office people a "bitch" today (yelled it down the hall actually) for telling someone on the phone to hold on, she has to waddle back to her office to find your answer (I'm only 15 weeks pregnant, this isn't cute, nor will it ever be!)....

I confess that I may be overexagerating today, I'm running high on the emotions.

I confess that while I feel better for eating less lately (my body is actually filling up quicker than it was in the first trimester), I actually wish at times that I could have "just one more bite" because it tastes so good.

I confess to eating a vendor cart saugage dog for lunch with the works after I found out I didn't gain ant weight again. Figured I needed it. I did need it, right??

I've been eyeballing that cart since they opened in the Walgreen's parking lot in June! They sell the best quality local product.

I confess I now need to go poop. Eh?

 This is my confession list to a T! I know exactly how you feel, melissa_bruce! I stress out about my weight almost every waking moment yet it doesn't stop me from having that scoop of ice cream (it's "light"!). Some days I feel really good about myself and then I'll see a photo and remember how I really look! Oh well, it's almost over!

I also confess that some days I'd rather sleep than spend time with my daughter and that makes me sad :(
