Top ten comments about my pregnancy

[caracola]

I know I've been very free to share my complaints about pregnancy, but really it's not that bad! There are moments I love being pregnant. And truly there is nothing that compares to being able to feel Xavi all warm and safe and cozy in my belly -- We already have little games we play with each other, like the foot catching game. (HOURS OF FUN!!!)

People are SO WEIRD! Seriously the "are you sure there is only one in there" is the one that I'm getting a lot too and it's honestly infuriating. What on earth is the point of the question?

That last comment really blows my mind. Way to teach your son that women's bodies are public property, lady.

Serious social skills deficit! That's a great point about public property. It's the "benign" version of "look how big/small/hott/ugly her tits and ass are!"

Hahahahahahah OMG those are seriously hilarious!!! :D
You're lucky :PPP
From 5 to 1, they're simply glorious!!!

Foot catching sounds like MAJOR fun!! :D how do you play?

:-)
The foot catching really is awesome. He sticks his foot out, and I can almost always palpate his heel or toes. He pushes a little more, and then squirms his foot somewhere else. It's pretty adorable. I just wonder what he's thinking.

We do this too. He'll stick his foot out and I'll chase it around the right side of my belly until he retracts it and it goes on to poke me elsewhere.

haha #7 reminds me: when we were camping my mom's best friend's boyfriend and I were talking about what a belly button does while pregnant and I told him I kind of had a flatty at this point... not really in but not quite out. He, in front of like 7 people at breakfast, suggested that I lift my shirt up to show them all. So I said "Only if you pull your pants down"... I mean if we're going to get embarrassing here I should at least get to see his goods too. he just laughed... but no one lifted or dropped anything haha

[caracola]

Haha that's awesome. I can't believe he asked you to pull your shirt up! Sure.... let me just show you my darkened nipples and swollen vulva while I'm at it.

[tableforfour]

No kidding!! Men don't get it at ALL but I did find out later that he told my mom on the side that I looked absolutely beautiful and he could really appreciate the beauty of a pregnant woman...I hated him a little less after that.

[caracola]

That's always nice to hear. Why don't people start with that one? That's what I want to know.

What do you got in there? Puppies?

WTF? Why puppies?

Should we be concerned? You're not going to have it here, are you?

Yes. My life-long dream is to have a baby in a Sears. (or wherever)

[caracola]

I know!!!! Maybe I just come across as a bitch? (haha not unlikely)

And if I'm walking into a store with my shopping bag and nonchalantly checking out your candles and chocolates, chances are I'm not about to push a baby out of my vagina.

You know, it's funny how much people think "heavily, visibly pregnant = spontaneous labor OMG NOW". I blame television. Because seriously? Every television show I can think of has had at least one and sometimes dozens (ER, for example) of situations where a baby is suddenly delivered out of nowhere, in public, with no warning except suddenly a big preggo bellied lady just starts panting or bending funny and then there she is on her back with a baby coming out. Nowhere in the modern media do you see the many, many hours (sometimes days) that it takes

[caracola]

So true. Folks don't really get how much it takes for the baby to exit your body. I think birth is rarely as dramatic (in the "whoops, there's a baby" sense) as it is portrayed in the media!!!

[p0tat0es]

These are the same people who see what you're eating for lunch and ask "Whatcha got there?" I got a shank in yr neck, jackass.

Oy.

[caracola]

A shank in yr neck, jackass = priceless

Mind your own frigging beeswax, lookyloo!

I think I might get a hold of one of those fake pregnant bellies and wear it to local bars, getting soused just for LULZ after I have this baby.
