pregnant women are smug

If you haven't seen this, watch it. ?It cracks me up. ?It's kind of dark humor though, so don't flame me if you're offended, because I warned you.

If its the same one I've seen before (YouTube is blocked here), I had tears I was laughing so hard.

They don't. Why do you ask?

I think this video is hilarious, though!

I was just wondering really and I think it is funny and so true.

Nah.

But it is SO true! ?And I'm guilty- we don't share the name and when I know people are asking to be polite, I feel like a total schmuck being like "yeah, she has a name, but I'm not telling you!" ?So instead I just say "nope, still deciding!" ?;)?

I thought it was funny and true the first time I saw it months ago. (Someone actually did a clicky poll on whether or not people thought it was funny, and most people didn't like it.) Then when I actually became pregnant, however, I decided, "No, there are too many things that could go wrong to be smug. Too much is unknown and out of our control." So now I think pregnancy actually creates an attitude of humility to a certain extent (not accounting for naivete).

Plus, if we didn't make a big whoppin' deal over a new life, and were more apathetic in talking about it etc., that would be pretty sad. I don't mean to be a stick in the mud, but I go out of my way to try not to be obnoxious to my non-pregnant friends. At the same time, I'm not going to not talk about it and share my enthusiasm over certain things.

I've been meaning to post about this for weeks! I think MrsRosie or MC posted it first a couple months ago. I try really hard not to look smug but I can tell when I've beens standing at work or in line somewhere with a hand on my belly daydreaming and someone is giving me "a look" =P Luckily most of the time I feel so sick I don't think anybody would look at me and be envious or think I was smug in the least.

And I do try to keep in mind that when most people ask pregnancy questions they are doing so to be polite - I keep my answers short.

I sent that link to a newly pregnant friend of mine over the summer... I totally thought she'd get a kick out of it. But she didn't IM me the rest of the day (we work together). Then the next day she say that she was in a better mood and neither of us mentioned the video ever. I've been hoping she wasn't offended by that, but who knows.
