    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Confessions : I stupidly think "future-shmuture." and light another one. my H told me this morning he wants me to quit at some point. he is a smoker, but he can easily go without cigarettes. if I were to quit, he'd have no problem quitting, he's done it before. but when I've quit in the past (for like 3 months at a time) I became super ninja depressed. apparently you feel that way for about six months.
    Posted by laladypoet[/QUOTE]

    I think it depends on what kind of smoker you are though too.  I smoked a lot in college, but would never smoke walking to classes or between classes or anything because I hated the way I smelled from it, and wou;dn't do that to other people.  So mostly I smoked when studying and always at parties while drinking.  So mostly I was a social smoker, but would smoke at other times too.  So for me it was actually really easy to quit.  But I think the more you smoke and the more you have it tied to other things, like driving, work breaks, etc., the harder it is.

    Confession: I would go on mine once in a while solely to feel better about myself.  I would see everyone freaking out about deadlines and getting things done, and it made me feel better to know that either I had already done that, or just didn't care enough to get that stressed.

    I went a few times, posted once, and was thoroughly frightened at the puppy-and-rainbow soup they were all eating.  I fled and never went back. 

    I'm ALMOST that bothered by my month board on TheBump.  Holy crazy!

    Mag, no need to be scary.  :D  Personally, I'd probably be begging for the induction since you're past 38 weeks already, but I'd go with the doc in the end.  Perhaps not happily, though.

    My sis and I were both over 9 lbs.  My whole family has huge babies.  H's family they tend to be 6 or 7 lbs, so I'm hoping for that.  But I'm already showing a tiny bit and I need to go get some maternity pants this weekend.

    I know where you're coming from. There was a job opportunity with Home Depot HQ in Atlanta, but FI decided not to even interview, and took a big paycut to take a job in the city we currently live in. Obviously, I want him to make the decision he's happiest with, but part of me still thinks it would be really cool to go live somewhere else and the money would have been extremely nice.

    I'm ashamed of this one. I went to the OB today and talked about getting the IUD. I've pretty much decided to do it, but haven't scheduled it yet. The thought depresses me because I know my chances of accidentally getting pregnant will go way down. We can't afford to get pregnant by any means. But I want it so bad I can't even describe it.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Confessions : I absolutely hate running, but my friends like it and I would always get talked into doing 5k's and 8k's with them.  I was playing soccer regularly so I always insisted I didn't need to train.  I tried an 8k at the gym on the treadmill once before doing it, but that was it.  I always die when I do them.  Shin splints, sharp shooting pains in my sides, heart attacks (or at least the feeling of it).  And every single time I swear I'll never do another one again.  Then I forget about all the pain and sign up for another one.  I'm dumb.
    Posted by dnbeach12[/QUOTE]

    I did a 10k 2 years ago, and it really motivated me to have a normal workout routine in a way that the gym wasn't. I did a half marathon 6 months after that, and ditto. But since then, I sort of go "eh, I've done this before, I would rather watch TV than go run 3 miles to prepare, it'll be fine." So what really frustrates me is that the thing I found to motivate myself no longer works, and I don't know what to replace it with since I do not have the money for a personal trainer who would force me to keep our appointments.

    SQUEE!!! My friend is 18 weeks and not showing one damn bit. I'm getting really anxious to see something! She goes for the sex ultra sound in 2 weeks and if she's not showing by then, I'm boycotting the baby.

    Late to the discussion...I confess that I hate myself for smoking.  I quit both times when I was pregnant and then subsequently nursing, and both times I started smoking again without missing a beat when they stopped nursing.  FI and I keep trying to quit, and we keep sucking at it.  Last time I started thinking about how I could die an early death and orphan my children every time I wanted to light a cigarette, and it worked for a little while, and then I started again.  So now every time I smoke a cigarette it's accompanied by visions of my children at my coffin, and I just sit there and wallow in self loathing and smelly clothes.  So I pretty much suck.

    Aww, LVB, I don't think that's bad. I really do not want to have a baby right now for a lot of reasons, but even so there is a tiny part of my brain that thinks how nice it would be, so if you already want it and just know it's not the right time, I can see how you'd feel that way.

    My month board was decent, but now on TN I find it really boring and never go there anymore.

    The way you guys talk about smoking, is how I am about food.  I truly think I'm addicted to eating in the same way people get addicted to anything.  I try to eat healthy, but it never works.  Then I eat bad and feel terrible about it.  I tell myself how unhealthy it is, I think about the fat in my arteries, whatever... and then I eat a cheeseburger.  :/

    We're pretty sure that my sister didn't stop smoking while she was pregnant, and she's still smoking now, while BFing.  She claims she pumps and dumps, but that's about the dumbest thing ever because it's not like the chemicals are in and out of your system like that.  Idiot.  Makes me extra mad when a smoker won't stop for their baby.

    My Mom got pregnant with me when she had an IUD.  (The one pulled off the market around 1984/85) She said she remembers watching the coverage of the women crying because it had made them infertile, and she was more than a week past her due date.

    anddddd now I have an IUD.  Hopefully medicine has evolved a little more.

    I suggested to my dr's office that they have an aesthetician employed at the office for this very reason.  Come in for your check up, and when you can no longer see it, have it taken care of by a professional.  Since they didn't take my suggestion seriously, I just resorted to apologizing throughout delivery whenever someone new came into the room. 

    Me: "I'm sorry, I swear it doesn't normally look like this."  
    My doctor:  "I've seen it before, I can vouch for her!"

    I think my sister is lying to me as we speak.  She's saying she can't go to Chicago because her son has a basketball game (for school) on the day after Thanksgiving.  Has anyone ever heard of that?  A school sports function the day after Thanksgiving? 

    My sister is notorious for story telling.

    Yeah, I wander over to my month board and they're all way too sweet over there. Sometimes I feel bad giving them a reality check. I've kind of stopped doing it because I feel like a big meanie telling them they don't have to have even sides, their BMs don't have to have matching dresses, etc. It's like I've broken their little hearts. They started a facebook group and everyone was all gung-ho on joining it, I most definitely did not.
