Scorpios and Cancers are VERY much alike, emotional powerhouses. Pices have a little more head-in-the-clouds, idealist emotions. Aquarians get along pretty good with Pices (that's were Aqu are headed) and ok with Cancers, but often clash w/ Scorps.

My problem w/ water signs is that out of the 15 natal signs (the signs of all the planets plus a few others during the time you were born) I have ONE water and 6 or 7 air. Water is emotional, air is logical/mental (think Mr. Spock). I actually have several friends who are Cancers, but we just don't get how the other deals with things. It isn't that we fight or hate each other or anything, we just don't understand the way the other functions, so there is some WTH frustration.

EcoMama7: Your family is actually a very good combo of signs. Aqu and Gem are air signs and Sag is a fire sign, but is more of a philosopher then anything else. All three have deep emotions that don't show unless you really get to know them, so the Cancer doesn't feel out-in-left-field all the time.

papayapetunia: You have two air and two water. The Libra (dd) and Cancer will be the most likely to clash, but if you appeal to the Libra tendency to harmonize, it'll work great.

Back on topic:
- I'm no longer entirely sure that I can handle having/raising a baby.

- I hate that I can't (physically) do everything that I used to.

- I would commit major acts of torture and murder to be able to touch my feet or pick something up off of the floor without having to "recover" afterwards.

Hey, that just means you're paying attention! I'd be a lot more concerned about someone pg with their first baby who is absolutely convinced that they know what they're in for and is totally confident that they can do it. (I'm sure there are people out there with lots of much younger siblings or whatever who really do have a good idea of what it'll be like, but I don't think there are many people who are really totally prepared.)

In my case, we needed fertility treatment to get pg with ds, and it took 2+ years, but once I was pg, I still had lots of "Oh, my, what have we done?!?" moments. You'd have thought having all that time and work put into getting pg would have meant I'd be absolutely sure that it was a good thing, but there was still a lot of sheer terror. It's all turned out well, though, if that helps!

OMG I seriously did LOL when I read this earlier. In fact it got DD's interest up because I was laughing so hard.

"look of fear"... evil woman.

Okay confession time:

--I made a huge batch of cookies "for the kids" last week... and ate majority of them myself.

--I found some chocolate kisses in the cabinet the other night and quickly hid them for myself.

--I eat chocolate EVERY day. At least some, even if its only a handful of chocolate chips... which is sometimes several hanfuls by the end of the day.

--I've drank a glass of wine in the evening three times over the past week.

--the kids have watched too much tv lately.

--I'm now craving Krispy Kreme donuts... really bad!!

--I bought a big box of Little Debbie Oatmeal creme cookies at Sams and have eaten almost the entire box in less than a week.

--I'm sitting here eating a cereal bowl sized bowl of potato chips after eating a piece of pound cake.

--I ate sushi three days ago... and it was GOOOOOOD!!

--After playgroup today I was tired and didn't want to have to make lunch so I stopped and got lunch at McDonalds. Chicjen Nuggets all around.

--I carried 4 large storage bins of clothes and 2 large laundry baskets of clothes back upstairs this evening even though I know I really shouldn't have because it really hurt. But I was pissed off at DH because he STILL hadn't done it even though I'd asked him to do it three days ago.

[Caroline248]

Ok..just a little confession (for me this is a HUGE pet peeve when other people do it...)






I parked in a handicapped spot today when I ran in to pick up pizza.


I felt so bad.....but it leads to confession #2...I lparked there so I could leave 20 month old DS in the car while I went in.

The thought of juggling him and the pizza was too much. I did go late so I knew it would be ready, but still....

~C~

12. I'm suddenly feeling like I don't have things 'just so' for baby to arrive. I feel like there's still a bunch of stuff to get done but, in reality, there's not.

[rikiamber]

I am dying of laughter here. Who ever posted about haveing gas and blaming it on the kids made me laugh so hard that I had some BHctx. My confessions:

1. this is the biggest, I dont want my MIL to be around my baby at all, I am so sick of her and her comments, "Hey preggo!" and such, announcing to everyone within hearing range (and she is damn loud) that she is going to be a grandma, she talks about being a baby sitter, I dont trust her alone with herself let alone my kid. She smokes like a chiminy and stinks horrible like an old ashtray....Ugh i cant stand her some days.

2. I really want some wine, bad!

3. I have given up on eating right this last month, I forget to take my prenatals and to drink water all day.

4. I miss being able to shave my nether reagion and DH wont do it for me and I am tempted to ask a gal friend of our to do it.

5. After this baby is born I want to hybernate for a month and not see anyone, especially you know who.

6. I want to strangle my roomate cause he dosent clean up after himself and he is always using our hair brushes.

7. I am tired of pissing myself everytime I sneeze or cough. And coughing can send me into a fit of vomiting.

8. I want my mommy here so bad, I am terribly jelious of my sister who had 2 babies and had my mom there. I miss her so much.

9. I cant not clean or organize, wash and fold baby stuff, and freak out about the smell of my house.

10. I spend a terrible amount of time on the computer.

thats about what I can think of right now...Oh yeah I think this baby has caused brain damage cause I forget everything and I am a total flake.

Let's not forget the contributions of the pregnant digestive system...

I was walking through Barnes and Noble and a burp slipped out that was so loud it startled an employee who was on the phone.

[SLY]

"I can go at any time"

Heres another one:

I told my Dh yesterday after my appt w/dr that she said "I could go at anytime"... a big fat lie. I'm 37 wks and have a C section scheduled for the 39-th week, he knows that, but I really want to light a fire under his butt to help me get the stuff done that I need help with!

(You know, like rearranging our bedroom so we can put in some dresser or something for baby clothes, etc etc.... Help getting stuff out of storage that I cant lift... etc etc etc)

So I lied. And followed it up this am with comments about pricks and twinges, small pains...etc. It better work....

Haha, these are great.

- I sleep on my back half the time. Hey, it doesn't feel uncomfortable or cut off circulation.
- I slouch on the couch. Baby is still magically anterior.
- I ate 2 Wendy's Frostys yesterday. The first I sneaked after lunch, and the second my husband brought home as a surprise. I did tell him I already had one though, so I made him split it with me.
- I stopped taking my prenatal vitamins a few weeks ago.
- I am planning on physically assaulting my mother-in-law if she says one more thing about how she's going to come over and give the baby a bottle of formula so I can sleep. I'll blame hormones.
- I still haven't picked a pediatrician, and I think I just won't.

[rikiamber]

a few others

I crave Mc Donalds like crazy, normally I hate McD, grosses me out.

I am using my pregnant condition and the impending baby to glean the house of left over bachlorehood crap that was here when I moved in, this include a couch we can really do without.

I am becoming anxious to bf and cd my baby so that I can show off in public and having a natural labor and delivery is another way of showing off....I kinda feel stuck up about it...am I weird....I dont know where these feeling come from.

I am looking forward to harassing the nurses at the hospital when I go into labor, and prove to them that a L&D is about the mom, dad and baby not their protocal.

I kinda wish people would try to touch my belly, do I have cooties cause no one has attempted yet, excpt my mil who I dont want to touch me.

If DH ask for a massage one more time and dosent offer me one first I am going to scream.

Oh yeah Yeah for pregnancy bowls, never been so regular in my life, gerrrr!

[chiromama]

Hmmmm let's see what I can add....

I haven't taken my prenatals in at least a month

I eat a few double stuffed oreos everynight.

I haven't exercised regularly. at all.

i acutally am enjoying being pregnant still (other than the tailbone pain when i sit for too long) and have no desire to rush having the baby.

I think that's it. Do you hate me now?

[MyLittleWonders]

I stepped foot into a regular grocery store for the first time in at least a month and a half (shop only at HFS and Trader Joe's usually) and bought:

*a package of Oreos
*Fruity Pebbles
*Cocoa Pebbles!

I've already had a big bowl of the Fruity Pebbles and shared with my boys ... dh said, "I don't know which is worse ... that you are eating those or that you are feeding them to the boys." I told him that at least I used raw milk in the bowl!

I too haven't exercised in forever ... my mw gave me a personal "how am I doing" type survey just for fun (she wasn't interested in the results) and one of the statements to rate was: "I break out in a sweat at least once a day." When I read that I . Sweat? The only sweat I've had is when the weather warmed up and my personal thermostat shot way up!

I haven't cooked in a couple weeks (usually cook dinner almost each night - and dh will take leftovers for lunch). We've been eating out, eating junk, and dh is trying to get creative with sandwiches, yogurt, and cottage cheese for lunch.

My only eating saving-grace has been that I make sure I start each morning with my power smoothie - then I can justify eating crud the rest of the day.

I totally know hoe you feel. When I was pg w/ Marley I had REALLY REALLY bad morning sickness and I swear the ONLY thing I could keep down for like, a month, was friggen fruity pebbles!! How terrible is that?!?! I'm soooo glad I didn't have morning sickness w/ this one!

[mama in the forest]

Hi everyone. I'm not due till July but I was lurking here & this thread is too hysterical to pass up......I hope you don't mind my butting in with my confessions.

Here they are:

1) Instead of buying clothes that fit, I took a scissors and cut the waistband of several pairs of pants so I could get them on.

2) I drink a Bailey's Irish Cream over ice every few days. Man, it's good.

3) I let my children watch two hours of Sponge Bob today so I could lay on the couch and rest.

4) I never do the spinning babies positions even though most of my babies have been posterior.

5) I have faked labor pains to get out of talking to someone I don't want to talk to.

6) I love diet coke and would drink it all the time if it was in the house. MMM, the burn going down.
