"Best" comment you have received since announcing...

Last night my SIL and MIL announced to everyone they think I will be having a girl because my "a$$ is so HUGE!". Awkward moment of silence...then I thought to myself that this will make an interesting conversation if I end up having a boy.
What about you ladies, has anyone pulled this with you?! It's going to be a long next few months until February!

Re: "Best" comment you have received since announcing...
How nice of your SIL/MIL.
One of our buddies posted on FB. "I love you both, but I hope you know your lil Ginger baby will be a demon."
Lil Ginger is because my husband has bright red hair, and demon because both DH and I were crazy as kids. Although some people wouldn't find humor into someone calling their kid a demon, I thought it was great.
My uncle at my Grandpa's funeral this weekend:
"You aren't finding out what you're having, are you?"
"We are, yes"
"Well don't tell me what it is."
((annoyed)) "Okay, I'll keep that in mind..."
"I just think not finding out until it's born is the way it's supposed to be. All babies are miracles, but it's so much MORE of a miracle when you're there and find out after it's born."
My uncle was never married, no kids, has definitely NEVER been in a delivery room. If my child wasn't as much of a miracle because I knew he was a boy ahead of time and this one won't be as much of a miracle again, maybe I just won't tell him when the baby's born at all...
A possibility was born the day you were born and will live as long as you live.
I haven't received anything yet (well, except for a douchebag contractor who said "that's permanent, you know" and then probably felt like an ass a few minutes later when I told him my first child died), but I had a few during my last pregnancy.
DH's aunt was angry that nobody told her I was pregnant (we weren't telling yet except for our parents, but apparently she could tell). Later that day, she told me she said she knew I was pregnant the second she saw me. Then she told me that I was carrying in the back. I said, "I'm 10 weeks. I'm not carrying anywhere yet." Biitch.
a girl who I went to high school with now lives her life as a man- had her breasts removed, takes testosterone, and all. I grew up with him and we are friendly- I don't at all judge the lifestyle he has chosen. We ran into each other at church and when we were talking about the baby he asked if we knew what we were having- i said who knows, boy or girl, we are waiting to find out. He replied 'or it could be like me haha'.
It was just an odd comment that I had no idea how to respond to- I was just like haha, yeah.
I am also sick of being asked if #2 was planned and told how much my life is going to suck when the baby gets here- yeah, it will be a lot of work, i get it, thanks...
Proud mama to a boys- 6/17/09 - a girl 2/23/11- and a boy 8/20/12
My supervisor who literally said, "You're not going to leave for three months are you???" as her first comment after I announced in a meeting I was pregnant. I was like, "Um, yeah. I am. I think it's really important." And not to mention guaranteed by FMLA.
Since then I heard she's been telling everybody she thinks I will leave. I am SO tempted, if only we could afford it...sigh...
Funny, I never knew elephants are the only creatures alive to not get m/s.
Directly after calling me an elephant, she asked if I'm REALLY SURE I'm actually pregnant.
Brothers are the best at "nice" comments.... First off when I told my youngest brother he asked me if I went to the sperm bank ( I have no idea where he got this because me and my boyfriend have been together and serious for four years) the he looked puzzeled when I said NO!!!!!! Then my other brother replied with "I was wondering why you were starting to get a gut!!!!!!" Geez.... They made me feel so good!! LOL
i've gotten a few strange comments, but i think my top annoying one is when people ask immediately what i'm going to do about work. i am a teacher and i did just get a new job, but still, i don't think people would ask if i worked in a job that did not have a summer break.
the immediate comment that dh's best friend asked was how long we had been trying. we told him and he responded that it took a while and implied that there was something wrong with dh. we know it took a while, thanks.
My dad's reply when I got "forced" to tell him at 4 wks pg was "Ok. Sorry if I don't get all excited just yet."
I've had 2 losses so I understand the apprehension but jeeze, I went home and cried.
Now he knows how far along I am, without even having to ask. So his excitement is starting to show.
Someone asked me if I was going to get rid of the furry beast in my sig pic.
Wow, people are amazing. Why do they think it's okay to say these things? My brother said, "Holy crap." And then after a few minutes, "You guys aren't going to be any fun anymore." Ok, then. Thanks for your support.
Another thing that bothers me is when people say, "Is this a good thing?" or "Were you trying?" You know what? We were trying, but either way it is NONE of your business. If I'm telling you, it's obviously happening right? Argh!
I got this from my mother! Told her she wouldn't have a relationship with her grandchild if it was brought up again.
I think it's a tossup between:
1. My sister is mad at us that we haven't found out the gender yet. I was abt 13 weeks at the time, and asked her if she knew who had found out the gender so early... she referenced a character on a freaking soap.
2. The people who verbally count back to see when we got pregnant, whether or not it was before our engagement
3. The coworker who asked me how I got pregnant.
Geez, I've had so many "great" comments, that it's hard to pick just one. They're all comments about how large I am for only being 14 wks.
It's my second kid, and really, I've only gained 6 lbs. But yeah, I know I look further along than I am. It makes me worry that I'll be huge by the end of my pregnancy, and that my baby will be ginormous.
One terrible comment which is not funny at all came from my grandfather. His one and ONLY comment about me being pregnant was "You better not think about working after the baby is born!" Well Pop, if I had the option of being a stay-at-home mom I'd take it in a heartbeat. But unlike all your other grandchildren, my husband and I support ourselves rather than relying on your money! I swear I can't do anything right in that man's eyes.
I'm the only grandkid that lived my life the way my parents and grandparents wanted me to live it, yet I'm the only one to ever disappoint. My parents don't feel this way, but he has made that quite clear! Maybe I'm just being overly sensitive, but my grandfather has always been like a second father to me and I've always had a lot of respect for him. But this whole pregnancy thing is a last straw with him. I'm going to have to have a talk with him.
I like this one it sounds like the one my older brother said ? ?Wow! U?s too! - Now I?z gota clean ta well thes somethin? in ta wadr.?
