Ok, so I'm not exactly starting to feel super pregnant in a physical sense, but I am definitely feeling hormonal and sensitive. And I notice it.... that's the weird part. While I'm being irrational I can totally recognize it. Does that make sense?
For instance.... I am totally fine until someone says something about my pregnancy/baby and then it's like I freak out inside. I know these are totally normal things people say and ask and when I think about it its not a big deal... but at the time of I always think the most sarcastic response first.
Comments I hate:
I hope your parents finally get another boy in the family! - yea they wish they could return some of those girls...
You'll stay thin, don't worry. - or I could gain like 100 lbs, what does it matter to you?
You'll have a great delivery. - or not...
You'll bounce right back. - ever heard of postpartum depression?
Your baby will be beautiful. -and if they're ugly we won't know and will love them just the same
Your baby will be tall! - observation of the century...
Do you want a boy or girl? - I want whatever I've already got...
Well it doesn't matter as long as they're healthy! - no it doesn't, and you're right I'd probably love an unhealthy baby less than a healthy baby....
And the kicker...
How are you going to afford a baby? / Does Lee have a job? - I want to shoot back with "and how much money do you make?" Clearly, we thought this through and come on, have you met Lee Coghill Master Planner?! Don't worry we'll still eat and have a house, we just may not be going on an exciting vacation any time soon.
And can I just say how happy I am that my bestest friend Amber and I are pregnant at the same time?! We talk everyday, all day, and it's so nice to have someone who is going through the exact same things and understands when I tell her these dumb things and also doesn't put it back on me when I tell her "You'll stay thin, don't worry!" or "Your baby is going to be beautiful!" hahaha :) Love you Amber!

dude, seriously. i have come to see what the other person says as revealing of THEM. clearly that is important/an issue for them. and to not appease them, to question them on what they said and why.
:high five:
If you're only thinking your sarcastic comments, you're doing better than I am. I say what I'm thinking. My (least) favorite: another one? You know how that happens right?
"No, please explain it to me."
One idiot guy said " you must like that reproduction thing." ....clearly he's not married. Who says that to a pregnant mom?
Having someone be pregnant at the same time is such a blessing. Tell her all your sarcastic comments and people will like you pregnant more than they like me pregnant.
People can be so annoying and dumb! It's like they find out you're pregnant and HAVE to say something stupid!
Love you too! So glad we're doing this together. <3
And I think if people ask how you are going to afford it you SHOULD ask them how much they make. Because asking about money ever is super rude and they should know better.
Your baby will be so loved and that's all that matters. Everyone else should go learn to bite their tongues! <3
