Pet Peeve

I have a new pet peeve. I hate it when you tell someone you are pregnant or you are talking about the baby with someone…and they decide to tell you all these awful stories about when they where pregnant. I hate when people try to tell me how to live my pregnancy. What to eat, what not not to eat. I know that they are just trying to be friendly and helpful, but really I just don’t want to hear it. You do NOT need to tell a pregnant woman all of these things!! We have enough to worry about. Sheesh. So of course, when I can’t feel the baby moving around, I get all paranoid and think there is something wrong.

I got a little snappy today at work with a co-worker. I just simply said that I didn’t want to hear about her pregnancy stories and walked away. After that happened I felt really bad and mean. I went and spoke to her at lunch and she said that she understood what I meant and didn’t think anything of it. I still feel very mean 🙁

I drove Char home tonight. I love talking to Char. I guess you could say that she is very good close friend. I find it hard to open up to people, but talking to Char cames really easy. In the same way with Matt. She is just a stong person. She has had a interesting life and I love to hear about it. Being a mail order bride and being bought over to Australia. I just love her stories.

Matt and I have picked a name for our little man but we aren’t telling anyone. We want to be sure that this is the name we are going to use, plus we like keeping it a secret from everyone, My Mother keeps asking and asking. Sometiems I feel like giving in but I think somethings have to kept till the end. My friend Lisa from work was trying so hard to get it out of me last night, but I held my ground. She even tried the old “What if I want to get him something personalized with his name on it?”. I said “Too bad”…lol. But thank you away.

I love my growing belly. Its getting bigger and bigger. I’m finding that people are wanting to rub my belly all the time. I feel like my belly is a public rubbing place. I don’t know how to deal it with it and say please don’t. I would just like to be asked first.

I can’t wait to hold my little guy for the first time!

Aww thats so slack for people to do that! It’s been happening to one of my friends who’s nearly ready (Or possibly even given birth by now) poor thing was so hysterical!!! And thanks for returning my note 🙂 I wont be updating there anymore, sadly, I am just annoyed with that site so I moved on, hence why I asked you if you had another diary elsewhere 🙂

I know I had a real hard time when I was pregnant and everyone was wanting to rub my belly as well. People I barely knew would just walk up and touch it and it annoyed the crap outta’ me. LOL

Oh, I hated all that. I didn’t ask anyone for their opinion, stories or hands on my body, but they had no problem doing it!

Have you ever seen the movie “Dazed And Confused”? When they pregnant lady walks into the liquor store smoking a cigarette and buys a fifth of whisky? And the liquor store clerk says, “Remember to eat something green every day!” That’s what I always say to my pregnant friends. It cracks me up. “Eat something green every day!” tee hee

i hate that too. especially when you tell them something you’re planning on doing and they counter it with a horror story of why you shouldn’t. bleh. i don’t really want to tell anyone the sex lol since we found out. Not sure I want to share names just yet either. I get guilt tripped for that though @@ ~ajaye

RYN: Thanks girly! I understand about people telling you how to go about your pregnancy… i feel the same way when people try and tell me what I’m doing wrong or right while we’re TTC #1. Or one of my friends who’s a virgin, never had a boyfriend and she’ll be 21 this month. Basically never been close to a guy.

Her sister has 2 kids and she was trying to tell me how hard breastfeeding is and how people just think it’s so easy. I’m like your kid’s where? oh, you don’t have one! 🙂 MUAH!

hope you have a nice weekend!

Yes I remember the “my belly is your belly” syndrome! Just when you get over that when he’s born – everyone will want to touch him instead. People love the smell of babies I have found out and several of K’s female friends keep trying to inhale James lol! Just caught up on all your entries I had missed. I’ve left notes 🙂 I’m so glad you’re doing really well. I hadn’t forgotten about you..

RYN: i’ve been feeling *things* since my 14th week, but this is the first time it was absolutely certain. =)
