Confession time, again... - Page 3  

post #41 of 171
I think this thread enabled me to eat like crap today!

Brownie for breakfast, Cheetos for lunch, and sour gummy worms for dessert.
Thanks ladies for making me feel ok for doing it!

I have a new one to add. I let dd watch 5 hours of TV so I could get some stuff done and relax my aching body!

Oh and two more:

1. I'm sitting here posting on MDC while my DH deals with our toddler, who is shrieking because he asked her to wash her sticky sauce-covered hands before touching the couch.

2. In fact, DH has been so good about getting up in the morning with DD and letting me sleep in that I've stopped trying to wake up early and let him take a turn sleeping in. I'm a meeeeeeeean pregnant woman.

OK, it's my turn finally!!

- I don't know I can survive another South summer!! It is finally here with all the humidity and I am misarable and not very pleasant to be around. I really hope next summer will be in WA.

- I HATE my dog!!! I absolutely can NOT stand him and I wanna give him up! If he's gonna bark one more freaking time at someone I am going to kill him I swear god. I feel bad about this one, not sure if it's the hormons, but I can't even look at him without saying something mean about him. : :

- I HATE my legs - they look like two very old tree trunks covered in cottage cheese :

- my son is watching TV all day or playing on the computer. We don't have a cable, but he's watching tapes and DVDs over and over and over and I don't care!

- I have to stay off sugar so ofcourse all I wanna eat is sweets and cakes.....Whole Foods has this brand cakes by "just dessert" and they are THE best cakes on this planet I swear. I have to resist though.

- I am also craving BBQ pork ribs - I could eat those every day.

- I don't wanna move any more. AT ALL. I have not done ANY excercise this pregnancy at all. And I don't feel guilty about it

- I only eat runny eggs too as someone mentioned here already

- I am reallt scared to have this baby. I feel like I am not going to be willing to do all the things I did for DS any more. I feel very close to DS, more and more every day and I feel like this baby is going to destroy this beautiful family we have.

- I don't wanna breastfeed, but I don't wanna FF either. Really, I am NOT looking forward to breastfeeding. I have my reasons since my last experience was really bad, it's the fear speaking here, but it does not change the fact that if I could I'd skip this part completely!

- oh and I don't cook either any more. NOTHING AT ALL. We go to Whole foods basicly every day.

- I ENVY you all that you can eat all the junk I guess bad for you and good for me, but I still envy you.

- I'm eating way more sugary crap in a day than anyone should.

- I'm drinking a half glass of wine right now. Mmmmm!

- We eat out more times a week than I thought possible. (I keep saying that I should start cooking more, but it doesn't happen.)

- My 2yo is becoming quite the independant player. As long as the house isn't falling down and she's not in immediate danger, it's good enough for me these days.

- My house is a wreck, and I don't feel motivated enough to do anything about it. (Although I did play "poor pitiful me" about it with DH this afternoon, so he's going to clean tomorrow. )

- I'm scared about giving birth - scared my pelvis isn't wide enough and scared that I don't know what labour is going to feel like.
post #46 of 171
Folks, this thread is WONDERFUL. I'm loving reading how normal everyone is, LOL! Hooray that I'm not the only one that:

-Hasn't taken a prenatal vitamin in weeks
-Except for a 6 week run of a prenatal yoga class, has done NO exercise this pregnancy (and I really meant to!)
-Eats out too much
-Eats too much crap
-Lets the older kid watch too much TV cause I need a second nap
-Drinks regular old caffeinated beverages (black tea in my case, if I want to skip an afternoon nap and get things done, I HAVE to have a cup of tea!)

Oh and to add a few of my own:

-I have outgrown all but one pair of my maternity pants. So I wear these same jeans every single time I go out (good thing I'm not working much anymore).
-My normal household attire is DH's tie-dyed boxers and DH's t-shirts. Everyday, all day. I look like a clown (especially when the shirt is a tie-dyed one as well).
-I'm clumsy and spill things on myself.
-On that note, I brush my teeth in the shower and tend to forget that the belly's there and I need to lean OVER it to spit out the toothpaste... I know it doesn't matter cause I'm in the shower anyway, but it's still a dorky preggo-brain moment.

K, I'm done for now
post #47 of 171
I'm a guilt free zone here - that should probably be a confession!

Having said that I can certainly relate to lots of stuff here. My house is a stinking pit and I do a lot of directing dd around, I take every possible advantage of dh saying I have to keep my feet up at just this moment otherwise my feet will drop off or something. I have one pair of trousers now for work (thank god this week I've almost stopped work) and - wait for it - they are white. And as I said, the house is filthy and the car is even worse!!

Chocolate, no yoga, lying anyway that feels comfotable, blah blah...
went to my friend's wedding yesterday (quite a new friend) and the second I walked into the church I was in tears as if I were her mother or something...

it's all good
post #48 of 171
ok, i knew i'd have to come back-Pavlina reminded me...
we have 5 animals, right-i'm a total animal lover, they've been our kids for years..all rescues...wait for it...........now i hate them all! i feel horrible saying it but jeez-between the cat hairballs, the litter boxes, the endless meowing (now that windows are open the cats want out and they can't) and the stupid dogs barking EVERY time ds falls asleep, i swear they are all bad for my blood pressure at this point...hopefully i'll get over this after the birth?!

and i'm totally scared of labor and breastfeeding...and how the heck am i gonna take care of 2 under 10mos old?

oh and despite my doc complaining about the weight loss, i secretly think it's pretty cool that the baby is healthy and i've lost weight .
post #49 of 171
This is the first time in my life that I have thought how nice it would be NOT to have a dog.
post #50 of 171
I don't think I have anything unique, but I'll list anyway.

Keep forgetting the vitamins (although this thread has helped )
Almost never kegel
daily coffee, 2 cups at least, sometimes soda
very little exercise, although I feel like the toddler and house are keeping me really active
feeling sorry for myself that I can't afford the fun baby purchases I want to make, even though I know we're completely set (Does anyone else LOVE Cow&Lizard clothing? There is this seller on ebay with these awesome prices... oy)
all my shirts have stains. either food, or from my leaving tubes of lip balm in my pockets and tossing them in the laundry :
I sometimes sleep hours of each night in a sitting up but leaning back position, which is horrible for preventing posterior position (this is another thread actually, but it's the only position that's comfortable and I need to freaking SLEEP)




Good things, although I can't really take credit - my sweet tooth is reduced and my house isn't too awful, but I'm nesting like crazy - kind of insanely.
post #51 of 171
I am feeling no love for my dog - why does she keep on following me round the house with that sad expression on her face - and does she really have to eat her own poo?

Also i've deferred my course early and am supposed to wait for the exam board to get back to me but i'm past caring and i've stopped doing any work and i'm not going to hand in my assignment.

I really enjoyed pregnancy last time - this time i've just lost the will to live and i think i might just stop at two children.
post #52 of 171
I just wanted to say how I love MDC and all of you!! Real people lately just SUCK! Especially mainstream one's. : It's really hard to relate to someone IRL when you are so extreme thinking like I am. I LOVE being the weird witch though Not many people can put up with that.
post #53 of 171
I confess...
That I want a six pack of beer in a bucket of ice whilst sitting in a pool.
I want to call up an old "friend of mine" just to have sex with him. (I am single, and could REALLY use it..TMI?)
I drink iced mocha's occasionally.
I have not been taking my prenatals.. they make me sick
I still have not unpacked my house or gotten ANYTHING ready for my homebirth. yikes!
I am afraid I will have a boy
I still carry my 6 year old son occasionally :
I have not been drinking my pregnancy tea
there are days where I want someone else to take this baby, because ˆ am so afraid of doing this on my own, but I know it will be ok.

did I mention that I REALLY want a beer? *sigh*
post #54 of 171
Wow, this is such a great thread & I am only just now discovering it. I feel so much better about myself. I thought I was being so bad. Nice to see I am just normal. So I had ice cream for breakfast. Are fries a vegetable? If not, well I haven't had any veggies in a while. I still sleep on my back because it is the only way I get any sleep & I figure not getting any sleep is just as bad for the baby as sleeping on my back. At least this way I can function during the day. I do have one confession that I am a bit embarrassed about & haven't seen on this thread yet so it might be a bad one, but here goes...my kids are down to two sometimes one bath a week because it is just so much work for me to reach in the tub & bathe them properly. Somedays I will wash their hair in the sink & we do nightly scrub downs of dirty body parts, but oh I know they could probably use a full bath every night. Side note: they are pretty neat girls to begin with so please don't be thinking my kids are all smelly & dirty Well, I feel a little better now. Thanks all!
post #55 of 171
My kids have never been bathed daily. Right now we try for twice a week, and frequently settle for once. I do make sure they get a bath on Mondays when they go to Grandma's in the afternoon (but I don't have to do that one!). I know I'll be more diligent as the summer rolls in, when you've got sunscreen and sand to deal with, but for now it's "as needed".

It got so hard to do baths for Hannah a few months ago, she now just hops in the shower with either my husband or me and actually considers it a treat. I figure even if she's just getting 'hosed down' it's good enough!
post #57 of 171
I made dh take over bath duty about 2 months ago. I just couldn't do it anymore. We have a deep tub in the master bath and I just can't bend that far. Right now, I make him do it every other night because they are in school. I can see us getting lazy after school gets out next week.

-I pee so frequently, but so little, that I have stopped flushing the toilet. It seems so wasteful to send all that water down just for three drops of pee and a square of toilet paper.

Heh! I've stopped flushing too which is bad because I let it build to the point of when I do flush, it clogs.
