"Oh you just wait..." or "You need _____ kind of diapers because that's the only ones that worked for us"...

Re: I am so sick of hearing..
YES!!! I am due Aug 1. So when people ask and I tell them it is always: Ohhhh it's going to be so hot; you're going to be miserable.
Really? The thought had never crossed my mind people!!! It's like they think that I am blissfully unaware of how summers get here in the Ozarks.
The "You poor thing" response does get old when someone finds out I'm due in July. 1) I happen to love the heat 2) I had a baby in Aug so I am quite aware of how it feels to carry a baby through the summer.
I also get tired of hearing comments on the size of my bump already. I'm not quite 5'2" with my 3rd kid....there isn't much space to spread this baby over. Keep the comments to yourself!
"You better get your sleep in now!!"
"Why are you buying baby stuff now? You should wait to see what you get at your shower."
Baby BOY is due May 23, 2014!
Whenever I see people I haven't seen for a bit or tell them I'm pregnant for the first time I get "how are you feeling". I know they are just being nice but being asked that question so many times a day really gets old, especially if I just told you a few days ago that I am feeling FINE. It's not like I'm going to get into the finer details of my bodily functions or aches and pains with most people either.
I also get the ones above about having a baby in the summer and that is certainly old too. And the 'a baby changes everything, you just wait' REALLY?! A new little person in our lives will change the way our lives are currently? I had no idea!!! Thanks!
Before our wedding I was constantly told "don't stress about (this and that)". And by the last few days before our wedding hearing that phrase just stressed me out. So I'm just trying to smile my way through the above comments and not let them get to me
I have literally had ALL OF THE ABOVE! I'm a teacher, and I only really get to see the other staff members at school when I pass them in the hallway, so there are several one-liners each day.
My favorite is (one day away from the THIRD TRIMESTER) is "are you having any morning sickness?" I told you two weeks ago no, that I never had it, and guess what? Nope again!
I've also had the "make sure you get lots of sleep now...you won't get any once he's here." I LOVE the blog post from the Pregnant Chicken "10 THings to Never Say to a Pregnant Woman." She addresses this comment...with something like "if you knew about an all-you-can-eat buffet opening up 4 months from now, you wouldn't fast/starve yourself to get ready for the grand opening. My sleeping habits are just fine, thank you!
)
1) How are you feeling? (I hear it EVERYDAY from ppl at work. EVERYDAY its the same thing...good. I don't really have any typical preggo symptoms.).
2) Ohhh your due in July, its gonna be hot! (No crap, we live in south FL, its hot every month)
3) You don't look _x_amt of months pregnant! (While this is nice, it makes me worried that I am doing something wrong/not giving baby enough room or something just because I am not showing/gaining as much as they did when they were pregnant....usually 20+ yrs ago).
all of the above.
it just gets old. i know they mean well.
Or if i talking to a friend she'll be "wait until She gets here, you;ll see" just like when i wasnt pregnant she said ""Just wait until youre pregannt youll see" Its as if people try to one up you.
YES to ALL of the above.
The summer heat thing....so annoying. I'm due at the beginning of July, first of all, so I'm lucky enough to be spared the SUPER hot months. Secondly, there's this newfangled contraption...it's called AIR CONDITIONING...If I'm uncomfortable, I can just hang out inside. It's not that hard.
I totally agree with the heat comment!! Soooooo sick of hearing it!! I just tell people that i'm actually happy that it's going to be warm out so we don't have to bundle her to death & that hubby & I can walk outside to help me lose the weight. This tends to put an 'oh yeah..' look on their face.
Another one i'm sick of hearing as well.... How do you think the dog is going to do with the baby? Well, aside from the fact that I don't do very well predicting the future (no mega millions win for me, ha), he's going to be just fine. Just because he is a police k9 does not make him a baby killer. Grrrr. It's not like we will be leaving dog to babysit or anything, so why is it any different than your dog (who is way less trained)??
Ahh, thanks for the vent ladies
Upon hearing about my pregnancy, someone once told me "Just don't have your kid in the summer!"
..Really? I'm due July 27th. What do you recommend I do, have him/her 3 months early or cross my legs until October?
