F-R-I-D-A-Y = Confession time!
I CONFESS
That even after a great conference weekend and feeling like I need to step it up, it only lasted a few days before I feel back into my old habits. NEED TO DO BETTER!
I CONFESS
That when Steve was on vacation we barely, um, you know.
But now that he's back to work, we've, you know, almost every day.
Thank you pregnancy!
I CONFESS
That I'm linked up to my church's roll call, and I wonder how many of those women read this and take offense to what I'm blogging about. I'm an open book. I try really hard to not share everything, but sometimes I just can't. Oh well.
I CONFESS
I know that I live in Oregon. I know that it rains. Not as much as Seattle (trust me, I've lived there too), and it's warmer down here. But all this rain is driving me insane! I want it to be 65 and sunny and to be able to spend more that 45 minutes outside because it's too cold and windy, or the rain comes. I'm ready for summer!
I CONFESS
I hate Utah.
There, I said it....AGAIN.
LOL!
I keep seeing all my friends posts on FB about snow.
And when I see that, I am sooooooooo glad I'm not there anymore!
So what if it's the "best snow on earth", I don't want or need it from October to June.
And I don't care that it's hot there and you don't get much rain.
I'd rather live in a place that can get just as warm, where I can drive 1.5 hours to the OCEAN and play in the sand to escape the heat! And, we get summer rains! Those are the best!
I CONFESS
My diapers are stinky.
I tried my sister-in-law's method of getting rid of the stinkys, but it didn't work.
So, I just order some Rockin' Green and I'm going to wash ALL my diapers as soon as it gets here.
My super sensitive pregnant nose can't take the pee smell or the ammonia that my Leo is producing in his pee.
I CONFESS
That I hate going pee while pregnant.
I'm LDS and went to the temple.
That means I wear the "special" underwear.
The problem with the maternity ones, they are huge and create a thousand and one layers.
So, being this pregnant, I go from not having to go, to OMG I'm going to pee my pants NOW!
I have done the potty dance a million times now while pulling things up and down in order to make it to the potty. NOT cool!
Oh and my pelvic floor isn't what it used to be, so I can squeeze all I want, and still a little bit of pee comes out.
Thanks Steve for breaking my body!
NOT
I CONFESS
I hate using public restrooms because I can't shut the door without my belly getting in the way.
There is just no room between the toilet and the swing of the door for me unless I'm standing on the toilet. Couldn't you make it just a few more inches from the swing and the toilet?
Or, have it swing the other way. Really, people, did you not think about pregnant ladies? Come on!
So, what do you need to confess?
Why don't you share!
And make sure you link up with Mamarazzi!

I remember the extra sensitive nose I had when pregnant. My hubby ate raw onions once for lunch and I swear I could smell those onions for the next three days--even after he brushed and everything.
lol - imagine if you couldn't close the stall door ALL THE TIME simply because your belly was generally too large and you WEREN'T pregnant...ahhhahaha
Wait that was mean I shouldn't laugh about that...
I wikipedia'd LDS Temple Undergarments - as always I learned something new from you. Although I'm not sure my employeer would appreciate my use of company time. :)
Lol this is hilarious! All the fun things I have to look forward to when I'm pregnant. Although, my nose seems to already be extra sensitive so I can't imagine when I get pregnant :)
I think you say the things that most of us want to say, but don't have the guts to say in a public forum - so kudos to you! (I've told you that before, that's why you are so awesome!) I totally agree with you on the public bathroom doors. I went to a bathroom the other day, where the doors swung out and was like "hallelujah, someone was thinking!!!" I remember that you hate peeing while pregnant, but how do you not go like 15-20 times a day like I do? Or do you? I have never tried the maternity bottoms. But I just have to laugh, because even the maternity tops are half way up my stomach this time. I am huge, trust me! I was going to ask you what you clean the diaps in. Do you have to wring the pee out before you wash them? How are you not getting majorly grossed out with those being pregnant and all???
So I've always heard, and please forgive me if you know this, that usually an ammonia smell means your detergent is building up in the diape causing the ammonia to be trapped. What you could try is running rinse cycles until you get absolutely no suds to get out the excess detergent. Then when you wash I rinse excessively. I rinse the waste out in the bathroom, then I run a prewash on warm (no detergent), follow that with a regular wash (with detergent), but with two rinses. We also make our own detergent and it is great! The big thing I know is using very little of it. Most diaper companies will recommend two tablespoons to a 1/4 cup...companies tell you to use way too much because you'll end up using more and buying sooner. If you have super hard water you may have to use regular detergent and just cut down the amount and increase you rinses. Sorry, if this isn't helpful or excessive. You know what they say, there's a reason advice is free. ;)
I laughed HARD at your confessions this week. You be an open book, I love that about you!
Oh & OMMMG I totally know what you mean about public restrooms. I don't usually use them because I can't pee in public BUT I have to take my girls to go sometimes & it is such a pain shutting the door when I have a little lady standing infront of me.
