And the pregnancy fun begins. I know, I just blogged about this, but this is a new pregnancy, new hormones and new stupid people. These are all REAL conversations I had tonight at work. Complete with my responses.
Was it planned? (It was on my end, my husband was sleeping.) or (yes, my husbands so god damned good I cant take my hands off him, would you like MORE information?) Are you sure your not having twins? Or my personal favorite, are you sure theres not 3 in there? (And why would you think that would make me feel good? (Yes, Im sure, Im just fat. Maybe when Im a size 10 people will stop pointing that out). Then theres the ol' "you look huge today!" "(Again, thank you for making me feel like crap!) Usually then followed by a cover up, "its the shirt your wearing" or "I mean your baby belly, not you" or this was a good one "Its just the stripes" ( Nice try, but vertical stripes are supposed to make you look thinner".
Then there are the people who almost pity you, "I was going to ask you to do it, but I didnt want you to have to walk to the other side of the office". (Im pregnant, not handicapped, Im capable of walking.) Then we have the shock and awe"What? Your pregnant again? (as if you cant tell) Are you crazy? (followed by question one). My husband and I actually WANT children, what is so crazy about that?
It freaking drives me insane! Whatever happened to the old fashion "Congrats! Im so happy for you!" I started off the work day feeling pretty good. I wore a new maternity shirt and I was hesitant to wear it thinking it looked "too maternity". But 3 people told me I looked cute today so I started to feel pretty good. And suddenly, Ive lost my cuteness and pregnancy glow, and Im just this ginormous elephant. Yes, Im only 3 months, and yes Im already showing. Which, according to my doc, is perfectly normal from just having a baby earlier this year. Yes, the babys only 2 inches long now, but my innards (I.E. my uterus -must you make me say that word?- is already stretched out. I cant help it! I had a 9 lb baby!

People do suck but luckily you've got quick whit and sarcasm on your side! I'm glad you used those responses (personal fave is the one you planned "it", Steve was sleeping). Anyway, is it really anyone's business if your children are planned or not? You're obviously going through the with the pregnancy and announcing it...what goes does knowing do anyone? Are "you" going to be the person in this child's life that says, "Oh...you were an accident"???
We should all go back to Kindergarten and re-learn all the "laws". If you don't have anything nice to say, keep your f*@!ing mouth shut!!
You know what I would say to all of them?? Nevermind, I probably shouldnt write it, but you can guess!!! Seriously, who cares what anyone there thinks..They are just AAers..And you are actually happy, how many of them can say the same thing? So, quit being stupid! ;)
