Re: Comments from Strangers Thread

  • Random creepy guy at the post office today: So you're having a little girl, huh?

    Me: What? Me? No, it's a boy. 

    Creepy guy: Oh, no? You hide it well. I can usually tell these things. <stares intensely at bump>

    "so...what's the deal with water breaking?"

    We were grocery shopping today and I saw a mom and a maybe 4 year old walk past me and she whispered to him "she has a baby in her belly!" Which is fine, kids have questions I get it.
    ...but then dragging your kid back to stair at me, look me in the belly button and say loudly "see! She has a BABY IN HER BELLY" while your kid is pulling to get away is just weird.
    This would have been a perfect time for a confused and offended "no I don't!!"  It would have taken her days to work that one out with her kid :hushed: 
    I've had the kid thing happen so this post just had my dying laughing! Like, I snorted while laughing.

    Every time we are around my FIL, he tells me to fill my plate again because I'm eating for two.  Two what?  Adults?  Ummm, no.  That is the single most annoying comment to me.  

    We were having dinner with some of DH's college friends (some were just acquaintances) last weekend and one of them (horribly awkward guy...DH really can't stand him) said, "so, Cherie, how you doin with this whole pregnant thing?"  Well, I made it out of the house, completely showered and have make-up on and I haven't gone into labor in this pub, so I think I'm doing pretty friggin good.  What a weirdo.

  • I've had an odd about of people say they're praying for me. I'm not a religious person and they're total strangers. 
    I do find it sweet though.

    Not pregnancy related but baby related....
    we went for our first walk yesterday with the stroller and this woman who works in the pharmacy peeked in the stroller bassinet and asked " what do you have in there?" And reached over in what looked like an attempt to pull down the cover top. I swerved the stroller away and said "it's a baby" as flatly as I could and walked away... Don't try touching my baby you crazy lady! 
    What?! I would have smacked her. Wtf are people thinking.
  • I'm not due until Thursday and the ladies at See's Candy were like, "And you're HERE?! Buying CHOCOLATE?!" I just laughed and said, "Yup! I could be in the hospital on Mother's Day...wouldn't want to be without the good stuff!" Then the lady working at Costco told me I was, "Getting around very well for how far along you are!" 
    Thanks??

    I have to share this one because I laughed so much!  First, it came from my MIL who I love very much!  She treats me better than my own mother.  I was telling her how uncomfortable I am and am ready to have this baby now.  She says "It won't be this weekend or next weekend I think it will be the one after that!"  I immediately burst out laughing and say "Oh you think so? That is my due date" and we both laughed! It is funny to me because before she said that she told me she thought I'd go early.  I guess she didn't realize how little time I had left.  
  • I feel like every Monday I have a new "church people" story.  This one takes the cake.  As the pastor was sitting talking with the kids for children's time, he quoted the verse, "You knit me together in my mother's womb..." and I knew it was coming.  I braced for it.  Sure enough, in front of the entire congregation, he calls to me in the back, "Have you been doing some knitting in your womb there, Emma?"  I'm sure the expression on my face was not a happy one as I grimaced a little fake smile and didn't say a word.

    Church people...ENOUGH!
