Confessions
Mine is that DH and I did not DTD last night after all. We were both too tired and too full by the time we went to bed. I didn't really care last night, but I hope this pattern doesn't continue for much longer. It's been like 2 or 3 months since we last had sex.

Re: Confessions
Try not to feel too bad. I was right there with you until I just gave in and forced it. I had the worst dizzy spells and cramps after, but I think it was still worth it. Hopefully you guys can find some time this week or weekend. Maybe set aside a naked Saturday just for the occasion.
My confession: I definitely have a bump pic that I took, but I feel more fat than anything, so I don't want to post it. Hopefully I can get something better at home that doesn't look terrible. I'm praying it's bad school bathroom lighting. We'll see. I'm working on it, but this whole constant growing thing is freaking me out.
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
We didn't DTD last night either. Since J got hurt in Sept I think we've DTD maybe 6 times. Between his knee hurting and the medication they put him on he's never "in the mood. "
My real confession - Every women at my office received a flower delivery yesterday except me. I told J not to get me anything, but when I saw all the pretty flowers I wish I hadn't told him that or that he would have got me something anyway. I feel like a total cow for thinking that....
Nope, we didn't either. H claimed he was too full and bloated from dinner, but I think it also had to do with the fact we had sex 3 (THREE!) times the night before. We haven't done that since probably the first few months we were dating.
Snoop, you should post your bump pic! I'm sure it is adorable, but I imagine most pregnant women go through the "ugh, I feel fat" stage.
Raynes, was the party in question you or your H? Ouch!
So far 3 of our rsvp's to our party are pregnant.... and P swears they'll prob be more since every other day we seem to hear about someone else's. I'm think I might only serve soft cheeses and cold cuts..... (kidding... well, half kidding)
Seriously though, I'm pissed how P's one friend broke the news to him... It's not that I think people shouldn't be overjoyed, but it'd be nice if they had some tact when telling a couple who just suffered a miscarriage... it's not only the woman who is sensitive. P suffered a loss just the same.
I'd be 20 wks this Saturday. Instead, I'm going to someone else's baby shower and will probably be getting my period. Awesome.
....sorry for the bitterness.

Snoopy I think you should post your picture too! I wanna see your bump. FWIW, I've taken a few pictures here and there, but I delete them because I think I just look fat and not pregnant so I know how you feel.
Eouellet, three times, I'm impressed!
SS, I was about to post that I don't think I've seen any of your bump pics either. I hope both of you will post them! I have bump envy :-)
Erinn, I'm sorry, I can only imagine how frustrating and difficult that would be. Hang in there.
Erinn, soft cheese sounds delicious.
Oh, and it was Derek's junk, not mine. :P
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
Erinn I think you should also include alcohol only drinks. I'm sorry P's friends was insensitive, that is so cruel, especially coming from a friend.
SS- It is a Beer Tasting Party
haha. He wasn't overly insensitive, he just wasn't sensitive - was just more of a "yay, look at us, be happy, etc"... I guess guys aren't as aware, but I know it really upset Pete...
Raynes - I love soft cheeses, so we'll be having plenty.... cold cuts obv aren't my thing, but I'll prob make some pinwheel wraps for the carnivores...
Thanks for the support ladies... I hope I didn't suck the joy out from the post. Some days are harder than others.

My confession is that I lurked on my month board on the Bump and Oh.Em.Gee, those girls are insane. They post things like: "WHY HAVEN'T I GOTTEN AN ULTRASOUND AT 4 WEEKS?!?!?!?!?!?!?" I judge a lot of them. Part of me wants to join but most of me feels like I would just be the b*tchy girl on the board, so I haven't.
Erinn, I'm sorry your friends are being insensitive. I have to admit, the soft cheeses and cold cuts comment made me laugh out loud.
We didn't DTD last night either. DH hurt his junk pretty bad and hasn't been able to walk for the last 2 days and is on antibiotics because of it. I also haven't been in the mood. The last time we tried I was in so much pain after just getting started that I was bawling my eyes out and had to soak in the bath to be able to take the pain and swelling away. We haven't had any in about 3 months.
I'm about ready to kick most peoples asses right now. I was at work yesterday lifting case of water and I had 3 of my coworkers just look at me like you aren't supposed to left that. It wasn't a full case of the regular sized bottles either it was the mini bottles that weigh less than lifting a 12 pack of soda. Between people telling me what I can and can't lift, how small I look and that I look like I'm about to pop any day I'm really getting fed up and what to tell them to F off.
Personal experience, I would just stay away from the month board until second tri or so. It's too hard early on, too many ups and downs.

1. yesterday was the worst day I've had in a really really long time. It was one of the days where I am extremely bitter not only at people who are pregnant, but people who have no issues whatsoever getting pregnant.
2. Dh and may or may not have had sex 7 (seven) times in the last 2 days.
3. I STILL haven't had a post partum period so unless I have a period by the end of the week it's back to the land of pregnant women aka the OB/GYN office, and hope that there wasn't permanent damage done by the emergency D&C
Wow that was a bad news sandwich.
Thanks. I think that's good advice.
I confess that I have 9 more minutes in my office an I locked our showroom door because some homeless looking dude just came in and wasted my time and wanted EVERY kind of catalog we have. All i can think is you are not going to buy a kitchen from me, You don't want design services. You are probably going to use that for toilet paper!
Yesterday with did DTD. We aren't usually week night kind of people. Kind of like Liz Lemon on 30 Rock "There are rules, people have to work in the morning!"
My confession - I told one of my co-workers today that he was being a douche. He can be so annoying that it's unbearable to be around him.
