Rattle off those confessions ladies.

I ate sour patch kids as part of my breakfast this morning! And I am going to the fair today and am going to be eating even more crap. :-D

I have a few.

1. I searched BR & PR things on Pinterest the other night, and got trapped for over 2 hours looking at them.

2. I Googled our estimated due date for this cycle.

3. We are trying to be better about not eating out. I had $4 cash in my wallet, so I stopped at McDonalds and got a Pumpkin Spice Latte. H won't even know.

After reading yesterday's baby poll I bought myself some baby alpaca yarn.

My only hesitation with adoption is that I think family and friends will feel bad for us. I hate being pitied. I hate it when people say "I'm so sorry." I'm genuinely scared more of the "oh, the poor Vinos...." than anything else.

I realllly need a "me" day where I can sip my macchiato, get a mani/pedi, back rub, and read my book but I feel terrible taking that day bc DH is working his ass off to get shit done on our house to ease my anxiety.

I can't stand that I'm not pregnant and everyone I know is getting KU, the constant reminder that it's been 10 months from everyone that knows we are TTC it going to make me explode soon.

Part of our construction on the house is doing a master suite and we built in an on-suite nursery area and I literally feel sick to my stomach every time we stand there with the contractor, electrician, plumber discussing that section of the master. They all look at me with raised eyebrows and I have to cheerily say "not yet, but in the future.."

I hear you on this one. We haven't told a lot of people, but the updates of pregnancy announcements on FB are so old!

I can understand this for sure. Especially now that my brother/SIL are expecting. I don't want people thinking "oh, the RABs couldn't get pregnant and now that bro/sil are expecting, they must've felt pressured to adopt to catch up. That's so sad that they haven't had bio kids". I try not to think about it because really... whatever... and we've always wanted to adopt, but it has crossed my mind because we may be starting that process sooner rather than later.

Dh works evenings now and hates being away from me at night... I on the other hand love it! I feel bad that I love it but I get so much done and actually get to watch what I want on TV, woohoo!

I'm so sorry you feel this way...

LuckyAngel07 · September 2013

@fembrist, that is so NOT an FFC. Anyone who would ever think to flame you for feeling that way is probably of the same mindset as your ILs. I'm so sorry they think about you that way, and I hope any grandchildren you give them will be loved unconditionally.

H and I are short on $ for the month, and we were trying to figure out why last night. We had a big conversation about how we both probably need to tighten our belts.

This morning I logged on to our bank account and realized that the reason we have no money is because I paid all the bills twice this month, because I'm an idiot, apparently.

So I treated myself to lunch.

brij2006 · September 2013

@notmrssmith11 I probably shouldn't admit this, but I've done that more than once.

HAHA! Oh geez. I know way too many people this has happened to in the last few months. You're all way too freaking responsible. See, that's a bad thing!

Glad you got to enjoy a yummy lunch out of it! Your secret is safe with me.

I talk to my aunt on my dad's side more than I talk to my mom.
My mom and I have always been close, so this is really strange.
I don't know how I feel about this. :-/

I'm so sorry you feel that way. I hate it when people say "I'm sorry" when I tell them we are planning to adopt b/c I believe that adoption is a positive thing and not something to be sorry about. I also get a lot of "would you still consider having bio children later? So it's not impossible right?" as if bio children are superior to adopted children.

((Hugs)) to you.

@brij2006, I look up my possible EDDs every cycle. I run through all the possible scenarios.

DangerMuffin23 · September 2013

I do too. Glad I'm not the only one @brij2006 and @uptown2009 8-}

I'm glad I have never thought to do this! Although, now that I know, all bets are off!

I am drunk and I ate a lot today. I need to get back on my diet since we are going to Hawaii in less than a month now, but I'm really liking eating too much. Hopefully I'll be sober enough to make it to the gym in the morning.

DangerMuffin23 · September 2013

I don't even have to google it. The app on my phone for ovulation etc will do it for me if I just say "start pregnancy".

I didn't even have to do all of that. I just looked at a calender and counted 40 weeks from my last period...

poppies717 · September 2013

@fembrist - my parents are 14 years apart and have been together over 30 years! ((hugs)) @iloveredvino - whenever DH and I talk about our openness to adoption, that comes up. I'm afraid ILs won't love adopted grandchildren as much as bio grandchildren. My FFC: I'm terrified of being pregnant. The anxiety I feel about TTTC? I can't imagine how bad it will be when (not if...thinking positively) I do get pregnant. I hate that I already know I won't enjoy it because I will be terrified something will go wrong.
