Here's an idea....keep it to yo' self

I'm writing another blog now because the baby hasn't come yet and when it does, I suspect I won't have as much time to write as I would like to, or at least that what everyone tells me. Since I've been with child people have told me a lot of things. Here are some other funny things people have told or asked me as I've become noticeably pregnant.

1) "Are you pregnant?"
2) "I have a feeling you're going to have a vaginal birth" (told to my by the old Second Cup lady)
3) "If you're anything like my wife, you're going to be ripped to shreds" (nice one)
4) "Why would you ever choose to do that to your body?"
5) "Is it yours?" (granted this was by a crazy man on the subway who may or may not have been high on opiates)
6) Me: "I'm pregnant"
Him: "Gross"
Then of course there's those classic people who LOVE to tell you how hard it is to be a new parent.
You tell them you're pregnant and the first thing out of their mouth is: "Say goodbye to sleep" or "Have lots of sex now"
when really I think the word they're looking for is "Congratulations" or maybe "You're a slut".
No one I really liked has ever said that stuff to me, just the annoying people and annoying they are. I'm 31, I'm not the star of an MTV show about being a teen mom so trying to scare me about the realities of newborns is stupid. It's kind of like those preachy ex-smokers. Just because you got through it doesn't mean it's ok to tell people how shitty it is, that just makes you a pain in the ass. Anyhow, my lack of sleep and celebicy is meant to come in 4 days so I better go hump and nap.

  2. a) It's kinda weird someone predicted you would have a vaginal birth...dis-tur-bing!

    b) The guy that told you you're going to get ripped to shreds is an asshole. What a weirdo.
