What have you done this pregnancy that is ridiculous, absurd, out of character, or just plain old crazy hormonal pregnancy brain?

I got in a huge fight with Dh about money and forgot that because of the labor day holiday over $2000 hadnt yet been posted to our account.

I've eaten a ridiculous amount of payday bars. They are so yummy.

In the past 4 days, I've made six separate diaper purchases off of diaperswappers.com. I dont even really need diapers. Impulse buys. Sure, they will be helpful, but I didnt need them.

[loveandgarbage]

Ooh I like this thread already!! Payday bars have peanuts, right? Extra protein for your babies!!!

-Completely forgetting to get our mail forwarded after we moved, a month ago now. Whoops!

-Cookies for breakfast yesterday, 10 of them

-Walking around all day yesterday with a huge rip in the back of my skirt, showing my underwear, finally pointed out by a friend after I had already ran errands, picked my son up from his new school (including walking up a staircase with a lot of parents waiting at the bottom/looking at me) and took my kids out for icecream-- and yes, it was ripped all day because a few minutes after I put it on in the morning (and noticed it was really tight) it suddenly was loose and i had to keep pulling it up, not thinking anything was weird

-This one takes the cake-- a little back story-- our local college mascot is Bucky the Badger. A doc came out about a year ago called "Being Bucky" and I watched it one night when I was about to start my period and was all emotional and it made me cry. Since then I've had a weird crying response whenever I hear about Bucky. So last week we were all at the zoo and DH turns to me and says "Guess who's here?" And I turn around to see Bucky in all his glory, posing for pics with kids. It took every ounce of my being to not start balling. My kids would've loved to have interacted with him, but I just couldn't deal and we made a beeline in the other direction. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!

[HouseofPeace]

LOL!!!  love this thread-

-had cheesecake and coffee for breakfast, and plan to have more.

-started wearing earplugs at night so that i can sleep through all the little sounds in the house

-can't seem to keep a full set of clothes on when home, so always have some major part of the wardrobe missing (which kids don't notice and husband thinks is hilarious) and also have a set of 'throw them on NOW' clothes lurking in living room/bathroom/and bedroom just in case.

-start mumbling and passing out around 9:30-10pm most nights, and most days am totally loopy, giggly and spacey.

-right now i'm eating and entire plate of fried whole okra pods (which i just picked).  this is not uncommon, and OKRA has been a part of my daily menu

-have the CRAZIEST dreams that are usually totally inappropriate, or just plain weird, and have this urge to tell my husband about them.  once or twice wouldn't be bad, but pregnancy dream every night are just intense and i feel like i've got a bit of a duel life going on.  there was a bear, a squirrel, and a cruise ship involved in last nights dream.  and some delicious prime rib.

oh i'm with you on the crazy dreams! i've always had very vivid dreams, but now i wake up completely confused. last night i had a dream that i was watching our bank teller's little girl, and i completely forgot to give her back. amongst other more explicit and inappropriate dreams that i could never tell my fiance about.

i saw a maternity sweater at macy's weeks ago, when i was looking at nursing bras. i never buy clothing, but i put the sweater on and almost started crying because i wanted it so bad. i didn't get it. i went back to a different macy's yesterday, again to look at nursing bras (which i still don't have/understand!) saw the same sweater (ON SALE!) and bought it. it's still in the 90's here. but i felt like my heart would break if i didn't have it. it looks like oatmeal and feels so soft and amazing.

i sat in the parking lot of a local organic grocery store, opened a jar of baby kosher dills and proceeded to eat half the jar in my car.

[Adaline'sMama]

HOP- as soon as I walk in the door, maternity pants come off. My main attire is a maternity tank and some panties. That's it, no other clothes.

[josie423]

I also wear as little clothing as possible. DH loves it, of course. My almost 5-year old is getting a little weird about it ("Oh, Mama! I LIKE those underwear!") so I may have to stop, lol!

[Teles]

I love the pickle binge in the car story.

I've also been having crazy dreams. They're usually random but really vivid, but there was this one where I was having pretty fantastic sex with Jim Halpert from The Office - not the actor, the character - and I actually had an orgasm so strong that it woke me up! I didn't even think that was possible!

I've also found myself laughing out loud a lot at movies and tv shows. It's strange, it's like the same shows I've seen a million times are sudden really funny. It's pretty great to be so easily amused.

[josie423]

Today I had the weirdest dream during a nap. I don't really remember the dream, I just remember that I kept having the big O, like several times. And then, I was about to have what would probably have been the best one in my life... and I woke up. How is that for crazy? Why do the best orgasms have to occur in dreams?! 

[shazrael]

I weaned my toddler a month ago, following a huge drop in my supply, and have had no discomfort. I posted in the lactation thread and suddenly am engorged

Guilty! Hubby actually asked if it was because I don't have much that fits right now, and I had to tell him 'I'm just not a big fan of clothes right now, really just feel more comfy like this (sports bra or top and panties)'.  Soon as I walk in, off come the clothes.

[typebug]

I love this! I've been giggling all through your stories. ;)

I've been pretty cloistered but when I have gone out I leave stores without signing my credit card and without even picking it up off the bill fold. I end up with a clerk running down the street after me. I did cash back and left the cash lying there too. #facepalm

I've had to get taxi drivers to pull over twice to let me throw up on the side of the road. It's illegal to even spit on the ground so there I am with arms wrapped around a tree outside a mosque, looking around for cops and then being sick again.

I've been just as guilty of living in undies and tank tops with a few caftans on hand for when couriers arrive.

I'm a little obsessive about my Amazon wish list. I probably mess with it every day.

X-rated dreams? Um yes, often. How funny! I never would have thought that would happen. It's either that or I have nightmares about parenting.

[MaybeJ]

This is so funny!

Yes to more sweets, crying more easily, living at home half naked, and scary and x-rated dreams.  Just last night I had 3 scary dreams and two O's while dreaming.

Oh, and I could probably eat half a jar of pickles right now if placed in front of me.

Ever since I read about "baby brain" being caused by the baby sucking all of the omega 3 fat out of my brain, I've been obsessively pumping fish oil pills.  I don't want my brain to shrink.  It's probably inevitable though!

I don't really have any weird confessions - I ate more Cheetos in my first trimester than I'm proud of... and I still crave them, but am trying to resist the urge now that I'm not feeling so off appetite-wise.  I have had the odd x-rated dream too!  No scary ones yet though!

Eating in the car... I bought a big container of honey/vanilla Greek gods yogurt last week and made sure I grabbed a spoon from the store's deli section. I was alone in the car, which is a rarity, and I knew if I ate it at home I'd have four hungry boys begging like puppies, so I ate half the container then hid it deep in the grocery bag for later while the boys slept and my husband showered. Selfish, huh?

[Elodie's Mama]

Ok, I've got one:

I just cried (real tears) when I found out Amy Poehler and Will Arnett are getting a divorce. And I may or may not have had jelly beans for breakfast one day.

Not at all! Sometimes you just don't want to share. I get it :)

Nooooooooooo!!!!! Tell me it's not true......

[Imakcerka]

My husband found a costco sized container of Jelly Bellies in the back of my car.  Apparently they're mine... and half eaten... and I bought them 2 weeks ago.  That's a lot of Jelly Bellies.  The other day I bought two cakes, two because I couldn't decide on what I wanted.  And I ate almost half of both. 

I've been really nice to everyone.  So nice people are watching their backs.  I'm also suddenly very feminine.  Normally I don't dress up much but I've been doing my hair every day wearing dresses and skirts and applying make up.  I just feel pretty.

LOL!!!!  i'm so glad i haven't had a car to get out and eat in, cause i think i'd be eating way more candy if i could!  and baked goods, though those are usually harder to get gluten-free... and i'm sure the 4 little people watching me at all times would keep me in line, but if i ever got away on my own....

i love the second part!  today i put on a maxi dress, and a very shiny barrette in my hair (which i always do up, but have also been doing more), and maybe make-up would be nice.  but i always feel really awkward in it, and probably b/c i'm the lady who if she's wearing lipstick, it's smeared somewhere, teeth, side of the mouth, but not able to keep make-up looking put-together, but a little more kooky bag-lady.  i've thought about trying eyeshadow, as that might not be as much trouble to keep in place....

x-rated dreams are on constant streaming these days.  husband is pretty amused by it, though i've mostly curbed my sharing on it, as he might find it less funny if he knew details.

The only thing keeping me from scarfing down several cupcakes a day is that I now don't eat dairy and vegan stuff is harder to find/pricier.

i am vegan, too. i get most of my vegan goodies through girlfriends, sweet & sara marshmallows, and local place has awesome vegan nut/chocolate bars and raw vegan cheesecake that is to die for.
