  I think the comments we get from people are interesting.  Like I just got a text from a friend asking about any baby news, I wrote back "Nope no new news!  Still just working and waiting!"  and she wrote back "Sooooo sad for you!" and then something about a gift she bought me.  I would rather she wrote "Sooooo excited for you!"  What's to be sad about?  I am not exactly crying myself to sleep because I am still pregnant.  I mean, of course, I am anxious to have the baby but I don't think it's necessary for her to feel SAD for me... 

   Then another friend texted asking how it was going, I said I was still waiting, no news!  She texted back "did they give you a timeframe?"  I want to write back "yeah they say around 40 weeks generally...." 

   People and their interesting comments.  I know they are just asking and mean well but sometimes I have to question.

  HA Sounds like something I would say!

  I haven't had any comments like that, but just the same ol' "how are you feeling?"

  I always responded to those (especially at the end) with "like normal ..."

  I generally respond to the "any new news?" questions with "everyday is like Groundhog Day. Just waiting for something to be different."

  LMAO, I will need to borrow your remark about the timing.  I hear this all the time and am so over it!

  My step MIL who never had kids has some great ones....

   

  She told me 2 weeks ago "wow! Aren't you getting plump?!"

  In a public restroom, she pointed out that I would probably need the handicap stall.

  When DS was 10 days old, she asked if he had "started pooping yet"

  Last week she asked if I still had to go to doctor appts now that I'm so far along (to which I totally wanted to respond "nah, they just want e to te them know when he arrives..."

   Grrr.....

  My friend who has 2 children called me today, 6 days after I had my baby.  She knew how annoying those end of the pregnancy calls were and purposely waited to call me.  I got tired of telling everyone that I was fine even though I didn't feel fine.
