Re: Confession Thursday

    I confess that I'm scared to go back to doing 30 Day Shred today! Yesterday was a rest day for me, but today I have to go back to the torture that is Level 2 of 30 Day Shred. I know it'll get easier over time, just like Level 1 did, but still!

  • I confess that even though I'm going to set up my classroom today, I have no desire to do so, and I have zero excitement at the thought of going back. 

    @minionlover, I would have judged. I judge, but keep it in my head. I know I'm judged. I'm a fat girl and I wore my fat girl bikinis at the beach last week. I was judging other fat girls for theirs, but in a good way by thinking, you go girl.

    My other confession is that today I had my yearly pelvic at my OB/GYN. We started talking about what I need to do for us to start TTC next year..I think there was someone who said they were starting prenatals. She told me I could go ahead and start those, that I'd be able to take my anti-depressants during pregnancy, and she will be the actual person I deal with through my pregnancy and she will deliver. I wasn't sure because I thought she was just a nurse practitioner, but she's a clinical nurse of midwifery. I'm glad because I really like her! I confess that it makes me want to start TTC now, but that's not gonna happen. 

    Edited for good reason. Just trust me ;)

  • I confess that I'm looking into doing a figure competition.  I'm not anywhere near the shape I'd need to be in, but I think it would be a fun challenge to go through and at least do it once in my life.

  • I also confess that even with my Nest name change, I think my mother just found my Nest posts. Mom, if you're reading this, STOP and get out of my business!

    My kid spit up this morning on himself and me. I changed his clothes but I'm still wearing the gross tank top. I would shower but there is no hot water because I've been using it all to prep new diapers I just bought. H won't be home until late, maybe I will get a shower in when he gets home.

  • I confess that I just lectured DH about spending money, and then bought myself lunch.  Oops, forgot to pack one.
  • I confess I'm really, really worried about tomorrow (my first apt at 9 weeks). There have been a lot of losses on the BMB this week and with my friend finding out at her 8 week that she had a MMC at 6 weeks, I am just way too aware that I could get bad news. My symptoms have been different the last week or so, but I know that doesn't mean anything. DH doesn't like the negativity, so I don't being it up to him, but I can't help but worry. A heartbeat is the only thing that would be reassuring.

    image
  • And on a not so depressing note, I'll also confess that DH is going to be gone a few nights in 2 weeks and I'm not going to go down stairs in that time because the basement of our house still creeps me out and I'm not 100% convinced there isn't a ghost or something!

  • I confess I'm having a really hard time "enjoying" my baby. Don't get me wrong, I love him unconditionally. But he's had such a difficult time with the no breastfeeding and now reflux and super upset tummy ALL the time. He never goes to sleep for me unless I put him in the carseat and take him out of the house. He's a perfect angel for anyone else, he doesn't even spit up when others are looking after him. He looks at me and then starts howling. I feel like my kid hates me and I feel like I'm failing as a parent.

    And now I'm crying on the bus.

  • I confess to being hesitant to book any weddings for summer 2015 because I am still hopeful I could have a baby born by then. and apologies for mentioning babies so frequently.

    Have you taken another test yet?
  • @goatlady12 yep, this morning and it was negative.  I'm currently on CD 40 and am waffling between waiting it out for either AF or going to my dr to get a pregnancy test done.
    Daisypath Anniversary tickersimage
  • Christina, I think at this point, you just wait it out. Most drs will just have you do the same urine test you are doing at home. But I think you should go if you still haves got a positive or AF by cd 60. They can start your cycle.

    it was a long cycle that pushed me into charting or at least using OPKs. They may help if you get to next cycle.

    I'm sorry you are in such a limbo!

  • @christinafromflanders, I was going to ask you the same thing. Sorry it's still negative :-/ Hopefully soon!

    I'm so sorry you're having a hard time :( Just a suggestion, but have his doctors checked him for any intolerances? One of my friends has a 3 month old and she said he was non-stop fussy for the first 6 weeks he was alive because it turns out he has a dairy and soy intolerance. He had really bad acid reflux and was excreting stomach acid which was turning his bottom raw. Once she cut dairy and soy from her diet and started supplementing with a specific formula, it took about 2 weeks, but it made a huge difference. 

    *hugs* I hope it gets better soon!

  • @LDubHawksFan I understand how you feel.  After my MMC last year, I still get anxious with this pregnancy.  I knew my doctor would see me right away, so I waited a few days to call for an appointment to confirm so I would get an appointment after 6 weeks and see a heart beat on the ultrasound machine.  I am always nervous and if I wake up and I don't feel the baby move within an hour, I start poking and shaking my belly to stir it up.  My mom told me a few weeks ago that I will regret it when the baby gets here and remembers what I did.  I didn't want to tell her I was doing it for my own piece of mind.

    @snuff9861 Don't get stressed, I know it's hard.  You are a great mother.  Definitely push your doctor to explore options.  My nephew had similar symptoms to what you're describing.  SIL's pediatrician kind of brushed her off as a first time mom and it wasn't until about 3 1/2 months when a coworker of my brother recommended Alimentum.  It's extremely gentle and it was exactly what my nephew needed.  The pediatrician reluctantly told SIL to try it.  My niece displayed similar symptoms to my nephew and SIL had her on Alimentum within 2 weeks.  Seeing the way my niece is behaving, my nephew was truly miserable for all that time.  We all feel so guilty knowing now how miserable my nephew was.  Best part about Alimentum is it's covered by insurance :) 

    @minionlover I would have judged.  Some people are in great shape, but I don't need to see your vagina when I work out.
  • I have 2 confessions.

    1.  I love almost everything you all say, but I always forget the "love it" button.

    2.  I was the union rep for my school and got a nice sized check for it the other day.  H doesn't know about it and I cashed it and stashed it in my drawer.  I feel guilty for hiding money, but I want a secret stash.  It'll be good around the holidays when I have this money to buy gifts without touching our regular income.
  • @sjs1013‌

    The doctor is starting him on Zantac tomorrow for the possible acid. I have a referral in to a pediatrician for a different issue so I'll bring this up as well. And I doubt insurance in Canada will cover formula, they don't even cover pumps.

  • Thinking of you @snuff9861‌! You are a great mom and doing the best you can! Just remember, this is temporary and it WILL get better.

  • @snuff9861 don't be surprised.  Insurance here covered this formula for a long time before they covered breast pumps.
  • @snuff9861: hoping things get better for your little guy ASAP! and you'd be surprised what is covered under Canadian health insurance...I believe pretty much anything can be added as long as it's doctor recommended. Good luck!

  • So I took my second Zumba class yesterday and I got there early to get a good spot. Then in the middle of class the instructor make everyone change "rows". I ended up barely being able to see what was going on which I would be okay with since I would follow everyone else but there was this girl (who I thought was about 12 yrs old until I saw her wedding ring) flailing around in front of me like a fish out of water. I mean she couldn't even march to the beat. I had to watch out that she didn't hit, kick or step on me the whole rest of class.

    So my confession is that I wish people that had NO rhythm what so ever had their own Zumba class or just stayed in the back where they can't maim anyone.

  • HAHAHA! There's at least 1 person in every Zumba class who has absolutely no rhythm!

  • ^^^ That's me!!  Hence why I stick to riding my bike.  image
    HAHAHA I love Elaine's dance. SIL and I were trying to recreate it on the beach when we were winning at Bocce Ball. It was our victory dance. I couldn't remember it exactly, but I had a leg hiked up and wiggling and contorting in weird ways...I think this became another confession. haha.
