I love my mom but every time we talk she asks how the baby is. Normally I just say good but today I was feeling annoyed and said "I don't know, just swimming around in there"
My question for all you ladies is how do you answer that question? Just because I am carrying her doesn't mean I can read her baby mind. Am I being crazy for being annoyed by the question?
Sorry for any errors. Mobile bumping hates me.
Re: How's the baby?
Love it. I get that one too.
I also get that question and never know what to say. My mom asks me "how is she behaving?" umm... she's kicking me all day. I'm not sure what else I'm suppose to say.
It's flippin annoying.
I hate this question, too, especially considering our history of loss. I always think people are expecting the worst.
This.
It doesn't bother me at all. I have a coworker who comes in every day to ask how I am feeling (he knows how bad the morning sickness was/is). And to see if I need anything. It's really sweet!
When other people ask, I just say "as far as I know, the baby is good!"

Lol! I posted on this a little bit ago. I find it less irritating now that I feel kicks etc. then before. I usually answer "she's in my belly, probably." Because it's so weird the conversation is changed away from baby stuff unless it's my mom who is used to me being nuts.
Thankfully no one asks me about my weight. I probably wouldn't mind that too much considering I've hit a wall and havent gained anything in my last 2 appointments. I would be like "I haven't been gaining enough actually, so give me your food nom, nom." Actually, I think that answer is appropriate in any situation. Or just "enough," I think I'm becoming a guy because I'm starting to believe that "yes, no, and enough" can answer any question.
I think your response today was perfect! And I'd love to borrow it.
