due date shmue date


My temperament whilst writing this entry: pissy. I know that it is very common for first time mothers to deliver past their due date by a week or even two, but like many others before me I assumed she'd come a day or two before. Why, I have no idea, just wishful thinking. I was done around 28wks honestly. Which is when this photo was taken. I've been that huge for a long time. My body is so done. I am happy that she has made it this far. It does please me beyond anything to give birth to a FULL term baby. I remember rejoicing every week we progressed to a level that reduced the risk of immature lungs or other developmental shortcomings. Thank you Jesus for this huge blessing. So I guess my temperament is more: Thankfully Pissy.
Now that I have a little extra time on my hands, I thought I'd blog about something I forgot to a while back; Top 10 worst things to say to a pregnant woman, more specifically this pregnant woman!
Now please people, if you recognize yourself as the offender please do not feel the need to apologize, defend or anything what you have said. These all make me laugh and without them my life would be much less colorful and I'd have nothing to blog about. So own them with pride! I will leave most of these anonymous, however there are some you will be able to figure out, enjoy! Did I mention my temperament...

#10 Oh, I thought you couldn't have kids. (this comment was followed with a bumbling explanation of how he/she assumed because we were adopting that I was broken or something. Nice! Stay out of my uterus!)
#9 Oh, does David have a job yet?
#8 Oh, was it planned?
These two comments were in response to telling people we were having a girl
#7 Three minutes of evil, condescending laughter, that had been building up over the past 26 yrs... -my mother
#6 Oh, are you disappointed?
This comment was in response to telling people her name- Talitha
#5 Oh, really, what about Suzanne?... - can you guess who said this?
#4 Awww, how far along are you?-30wks-WoW! That's a big baby! Grabbing my stomach and then saying, And she's already dropped too, wow you have to be further along than that!...- Some crazy lady in an elevator, I was very scared because I was trapped with this woman attempting to give me her "medical" opinion.
This comment was made to me while I was standing on the big scale at Publix when I was 34wks preg (don't ask why I was doing this)
#3 Oh! "How much did you gain?" me- excuse me? I'm only 34wks but 27lbs so far if you must know. "Oh girl, I gained six total with my 6th child, ha beat that!" ... Made by this crazy woman who was missing 3 front teeth and had about 4 kids trailing begrudgingly behind her. Maybe she would have gained more weight if she had some teeth to eat with... Just saying...
This one is a positive one because I don't want to loose any followers with this depressing blog. It was made in response to saying we were having a girl.
#2 AAAAAAHH!!! I'm gonna buy her a bra and teach her how to shave her legs when she's four, cuz she's Italian, oh and i'll teach her quintillion! followed by 2 more minutes of high pitched squealing!... No other than Aunt Vita!
I wish this were a lie;
#1 Oh really you're pregnant, you probably shouldn't tell a whole bunch of people because the chance of a miscarriage is pretty high in the beginning... Omfg...

Well People there you have it, my grumpy blog post. Hopefully my next one will include a beautiful baby girl as opposed to her mean and evil mommy venting! Is it obvious I am in need of prayer...

  1. so glad I don't recognize any comments as coming from my mouth! but, you're right, they were all horrible. (and that one who said the thing about Suzanne - she already got a granddaughter with a middle name so hush!)
