That being said, I am ready to be done with this pregnancy so I can avoid comments like these:
Upon greeting a friend and her puppy and exclaiming that the dog had grown so much since I had last seen him:
Friend: "He's probably doubled in size since you last saw him. And I think you have too!"
Me: (blank stare)
Friend: "You look so good though!"
Me: (leaving)
Friend, dumbfounded after I had to inform a lady I was pregnant: "I don't see how she couldn't tell you're pregnant!"
Me: "I know! Wait.. What?"
My pants: <falling down every time I bend over>
Me: !!! long string of very profane curse words !!! coupled with my repeating my brilliant future invention of a set of suspenders that hook the bottom of your bra to the top of your pants
Friend: "How much weight have you gained?"
Me: "Enough."
Seriously???? Like poor Steve doesn't have enough work cut out for him already? Now he's got to reassure me that I don't look like the side of a house??? PLEASE people. When you spout out these seemingly innocent conversation starters (HA), some pregnant lady's poor husband has to do damage control. Not that these things have gotten MY panties in a twist. I could really care less. Doc says that I'm "right on track" and her professional, medical opinion is really the only one I truly care about (besides Steve's). I am just amazed at some of the things that come out of people's mouths.

What;s worse is when everyone tells you afterwards that "You were so big when you pregnant!" They didn't say stuff like that when I was pregnant but were more than willing to express it afterwards...lol...I guess it comes with the territory! Are you starting to get excited to meet your new little one?

ReplyDeleteThat's funny, because seeing pictures of you pregnant, and then at Sebastian's baptism, I was thinking, "Good Lord, she didn't gain ANY weight at all! And if she did, she lost it IMMEDIATELY!"
You looked great while pregnant (and after, of course). I am one of those people who is just not cute during pregnancy (or immediately following). LOL
I'm excited to meet the new baby, but also nervous about dealing with TWO instead of one!
LOL! Ahh yes, pregnancy remarks. I. HATE. THEM. I feel for ya. I had some dumb things said to me before too. You're almost there!! I can't believe you're in the 3rd trimester, so exciting. :)

ReplyDeleteThey can be so entertaining, yet, to some people, so offensive. Luckily I find them entertaining! I can't believe 3rd trimester is here either-- SCARY. :)
BAHAHAH! Love that last sentence- with a chair! LOL!!

ReplyDeleteRIGHT??? ;) lol
Hi Jenn! Thanks for commenting on my blog, and thanks for the kind compliments. I use a Nikon D3000, which is pretty low end as far as DSLRs are concerned. I cannot say enough good things about a 50mm lens and using either Lightroom (my fav) or regular Photoshop to clean up the pictures. Hope that answers a couple of questions for you! I'm a beginner, too, but just sharing my very very little experience thus far. Your blog is funny and really well done!
ReplyDelete@Ruthie
ReplyDeleteOh I have the D3000 as well (yay!), but only the original lens. I've heard great things about Lightroom but have not bit the bullet and gotten it. It gives me hope that you take such great shots with the same camera that I have! ;)
People are the worst. So rude. I got so many horrible ones when I was pregnant. Have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteYeah that dog didn't seem to mind that I'd grown since before Christmas! LOL Ah people say things. It's life. :)
