Because we haven't done this in a while, and it's always good for the soul! Lay 'em out if you have any.

Took the first one down. Realized I didn't like having it on the interwebs for all to see.

There are 11 new books sitting on our foyer table, with at least one more on the way. Some of them are pre-pubs for review, but most are new buys. We're ridiculous.

I'm thinking about flying into MI to see the Titanic re-release with my sister. We have a love-hate relationship with the movie. It'd be fun to see it together (again).

it's not a really big one but today I got for four hours to sit on my but and read my kindle under the guiese of baking cookies, geting in my clients mail and being there for her meals on wheels delivery. where was she you ask. well she was at teh doctors until 1:30 and went right to sleep when she got home. Oh and I also ate three of her cookies.

Here are mine: I feel like I've put on an embarrassing amount of weight since getting pg. I know that 5 of the lbs are Christmas, not baby, related, but weight is weight, no matter how you cut it. I'm not even at the halfway point (next week!), and I'm up 12 already. It doesn't make me feel very good, as I'm popping out slowly, and figure there's an explosion of weight gain ahead. I didn't want to gain any more than 25 lbs, and I'm beginning to feel like that's not going to be possible.

Also, I had a dream last night that one of my students tried to kiss me (much to my dream self's horror). I woke up in a cold sweat and felt SO gross after. I couldn't even look the kid in the eye today.

I confess that Jennifer Aniston annoys the crap out of me. I just saw a headline saying Rudd and Aniston comedy gold in a new movie. 1. she looks horribly desperate 2. I wish the media would stop telling me that I have to love her.

For me, I confess that having things on the table for DH's job is stressful. I just want him to find a place to be and be happy. His nerves from waiting and wondering and talking the past few weeks are starting to show.

I am nervous about the next month and a half. I am studying for the final part of my professional certification which is all hand drafting, :/my office is moving and we have a huge event in our new space at the end of March as well. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with it all.

I am mad at myself that I haven't been running like I was. I feel so much better when I do, but the weather and the studying have gotten in the way.

kaesha, as the many wonderful mothers on this board said to me when I was afraid of the same thing, it happens. You might pack on more weight that you'd like, but mostly it's what your body needs. That, and it will come off. I'm rather embarrassed by the fact that I pretty much totally stopped exercising and have put on 30 lbs. I look at the picture in my sig from Oct and it sort of makes me sad. I know I've put on weight/bloat in my face. But, my numbers are all good, my BP is normal, I passed my GTT with flying colours, and I'm growing a person. I decided to cut myself some slack. I've got a off year to get back into shape. Heck, I've got a year off to into even better shape.

My confession? I'm SO not motivated to work. I now have 7 weeks of work left and I just don't wanna. I've been slacking hardcore.

I couldn't agree with this more. Here I'll make you feel better. I was a little over weight to begin with and prior to knowing there were 2 babies in there, they recommended only gaining 25 lbs the entire pregancy. Then when we knew it was 2 they said 40-50lbs. Ummm yeah, I gained 75. Here I am 19 months later and not quite at my pre-pregancy weight (only 5 more lbs), but I am ok with it. Don't worry. As long as you are not always eating crap food, who cares you can lose it after.

My conffession now. My boss is on vacation this week, and even though I have a ton of work to do, I have slacked some. I even left a little early one day. At first I felt guilty, but I don't know because I feel like for the past 6 months I have given this place 150% or more, and not really gotten anything in return. This week, I just don't want to be here, so I'm doing what needs to get done and nothing more. I need to find my groove again though.

My confession: the nest and all of its slowness is really pissing me off today. When I take a short break from this report I'm working on with my boss to "check my email," I would really appreciate it if the nest would cooperate. Instead I'm actually checking my email and then getting right back to the report. Because of all of this I'm not in a very good mood. Is it Friday yet?

crystaljkbj · February 2012

I was doing so good with the 30 day shred until I hadn't lost a darn pound on it. I skipped this weekend and lost three pounds. Screw you jillian!!

I am also starting to get kinda worried about money. I really wish I could find a way to really skimp and save. I really really really wanna take my kids to disney next year.

MandeeFoFandee · February 2012

I've eaten nothing but junk since becoming KU. my body hated healthy food up until recently. I don't even feed bad about it.

also, I really give the side eye to some of the girl on my BMB. like some who are only 17 weeks pregnant and have their nursery essentially finished. wtf?

aryl · February 2012

I was suppose to study last night for this huge test tomorrow but I sat on my butt, drank wine, ate chocolate, and watched TV. My excuse? PMS.

starsailorr26 · February 2012

My boss is out of the office the rest of today and tomorrow. I plan to work as little as I can get away with so I can finish reading the first Harry Potter. Also, the fact that I haven't read it yet is a confession in and of itself.

charity5115 · February 2012

I was worried about gaining weight when I got pg as well. I gained 30 total and by 2 weeks pp I was back down to the same weight. I started out over where I should be and this should have been motivation to keep going on weight loss. Nope, sure wasn't. I really need to get into a workout/eating healthier routine but I use being a new mom as an excuse. Shame on me!

The best thing about reading it now is that you don't have to wait years for the next one to come out. Enjoy the journey it is a great story.

My brother and his girlfriend bought a condo which cost twice as much as my house. It's a downtown penthouse, and it's beautiful. And they're hiring an interior designer to work on it. I'm really happy for them and excited to see the place, but I'm also kind of jealous. Not really sure when I became the low-key sibling and he became the high-roller.

rxbeth · February 2012

I'm very anxious at what my body will look like post baby. So many women tell me that in the weeks following birth their stomach looked like a deflated balloon. What worries me the most is that this will affect my mood so adversely that I will be miserable and it could add to PPD. If I have a day where my pants fit the wrong way, it will throw my mood off so it seems like this had the potential to be like that x 1000.

The idea of no exercise for 6 weeks is pretty terrifying. I haven't taken more than 3 days in a row off in maybe a few years. It's my stress relief.

I can't imagine this either, and it's also been something that makes me very nervous about having a baby. I think 3 or 4 days is the longest I've gone without working out in the past decade or so! I get very stressed out when I don't work out, and I tend to beat myself up over it which further adds to the stress. Maybe you can make a habit of going on long walks with the baby carriage? Is that allowed?

For my confession, I haven't had my hair highlighted or cut since last May and it is starting to look ROUGH. The only stylist I have found that I like in the last 6 years is super expensive and I simply cannot afford to pay $300 to have my hair done every 2-3 months like I should, so I tend to put it off. I started thinking maybe I would try to grow my hair out and return to my natural color so I could end this whole cycle of highlighting so I haven't gone to the salon in like 9 months. I've been telling myself that my natural color blends pretty decently into the existing highlights, but I think I'm fooling myself and now it's starting to drive me nuts. Also, my hair is getting so long that I am worried I'm a month or two away from looking like a Duggar. I finally bit the bullet yesterday and called to make an appointment. I'm kind of disappointed that I will probably never get my natural, healthy hair back and I'm also nervous that my stylist will judge me for letting my roots grow out SO much.

LesPaul · February 2012

I have a mountain of work to do, and zero motivation to do it. It's all deadline-driven, so I'm just screwing myself in the long run, as it all absolutely has to get done on time. The impending acquisition of the company is driving everyone bonkers, and I'm 99% sure I'm going to take a severance package if it's offered. As much as I love my coworkers, I work a great deal of overtime, and I just want to get off the hamster wheel. I want my life back. Fortunately DH agrees.

Just remember, it's all temporary, and it's all worth it!

I don't have any confessions but since pregnancy weight is a common topic in this thread, I just wanted to pass on some friendly advice. If and when you ladies breast feed, try to work out and eat healthy then. Even if it is just a little. I totally regret doing this, it would have been SO much easier. When I weaned Makenna I could almost immediately see how fast I started gaining weight since my body wasn't working in overdrive to produce that milk. Now I have to bust my butt to get the weight off before I get preg again. Boo.

I know, right? I haven't even finished turning the room into a guest room, let alone a baby's room! BMB are a little crazy.
