"Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't and believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it'd be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

Please Comment On My Belly

Each week I get emails from babycenter.com. They have a section of what other moms due in March are saying at this point in their pregnancy too. I thought this section was pretty funny this week, so I will share:

Evidently being pregnant projects an invisible sign above one's head stating, "Please comment on my belly." It usually goes something like this:

(Here is what one mom had to say)
Person: When are you due?
Me: March 20.
Person: My sister is due with twins in March and she's WAAAAY smaller than you.
Me: Aww, thanks. That's so sweet of you.

Here is one of my own...(this was back around Thanksgiving keep in mind)
Person: Oh are you going to have a Christmas baby?
Me: Nope, March baby
Person: OH...(then silence)
Me: (thinking...jerk)

Here are some comments that other moms are getting that make me laugh:

This one girl at Walmart looked at me and said I would be really pretty if I wasn't so fat. I looked at her and said funny I don't think bitches like you could ever be pretty and walked away lol my husband was so confused at what had happened.

"Are you sure you're not having twins?"Unless there's an invisible baby in there, yeah, I'm sure I'm not having twins. And right now, because my mind is such a mess, I'd really like to thank you for bringing up the thought of "INVISIBLE BABY" because it seems totally possible in my pregnant brain.
"Are you sure that's the right due date? You look ready to pop RIGHT NOW."It's what the doctors have said. I mean, should I go running and get another opinion because you, who has only ever worked at fast food places, think I look ready to pop? The due date is March 1st, take it or leave it. I feel fat enough already, without your comments, thanks. And I'm stressed enough as it is, not feeling ready for a baby that should be here around March 1st, I don't want to think that it may come NOW.
"Are you sure??"NO I'M NOT SURE!!!!! This is my first pregnancy, does it really make sense that I'm sure about ANYTHING other than I really want a freaking rare steak right now!?

My friend asks me how much the baby weighs every single time I see her like I have a special scale for him in utero.

Yesterday the lady checking me out at the supermarket took a look at my belly and exclaimed "oh my God, I hope you're due soon" with her eyes bulging out of her head.


I love the comment "You look really pregnant"
Well, duh, at 33 weeks, I AM really pregnant!
Or the "you didn't have that baby yet?" comment. Do I still look like I swallowed a basketball? Do you see an infant nearby? Am I here at work?? Then NO I haven't had this baby yet ..
