I just need to vent unload, please ignore sorry and yes I did wake up on the wrong side of the bed LOL

3 things I HATE today.

IF one more BLEEPING person asks me in their annoying whiny voice "how are you feeling" I am going to scream
IF one more BLEEPING person tries to say hello and touch my belly I AM GOING TO SCREAM keep you hands off of me!
If one more BLEEPING person actually asks me "so are you excited" I AM GOING TO SCREAM actually this one infuriates me I mean how do you even ask this and what kind of response are you looking for???

    So sick of the 'how are you feeling?' as well. Get asked by coworkers everyday. I know they mean well but it gets old. I am not the type to ever say if I am feeling like crap regardless of if I am or not so I just say 'feeling just fine!'. Hope your day improves ;)

    Don't worry, this will turn into "didn't you have that baby yet!?" in another month or two. 

    I wish I could be rude IRL instead of just in my head. When I start to get asked this, my sarcasm mode will want to kick in full force.

    Reply with a blank stare, "Huh, I thought I left something at home."

    I tell people no when they ask if I'm excited, they don't usually push the matter plus their stunned faces are priceless. I manage to say no with a straight face too which makes it ten times better. As for the touching, I have mastered a I will kill you face when someone attempts to touch my belly. And when asked how I'm feeling, I tell them every little pain and headache I have had, most people don't ask again after hearing me ramble. The only people allowed to ask how I'm feeling are DH, my mom, SIL, and SMIL.

    I had someone ask me the other day, "isn't it an unwritten rule that pregnant women shouldn't wear horizontally striped shirts? They just make your stomach look huge!" as I was wearing a striped shirt. I about throat punched her! Then I suggested she start looking to find me some maternity shirts that aren't a solid color or striped, because that's all I can find. People are just so ignorant when it comes to pregnant woman.

    Ha ha ha!  Totally agree about the "how are you feeling?"  If one more person compares their slight morning sickness for 2-3 weeks to my 12+ weeks of horrible all-day sickness, I will scream.  Especially if they were pregnant 20+ years ago...eye roll!  I do feel a little better now, but that doesn't mean I feel stellar, I'm just finally maintaining my weight after losing 20 lbs and don't dry heave all day and night.  This isn't a competition by any means, but literally everyone says "I know how you feel" and for some reason that makes me feel worse instead of better.  I wouldn't compare my amount of sickness to someone who had hyperemesis.

    Also, I can't stand pregnancy advice from people who haven't had children in a million years (unless it's my Grandma because she's almost 90 and adorable).  My step-MIL (who hasn't had children in 35+ years) was talking to me about my 20-week appointment and said, "You should get to hear the baby's heartbeat this appointment!!!"  First of all, "duh!" and second, I've heard/seen it since my first appointment at 6 weeks.  I have perfected the smile and nod!

    I just re-read what I wrote and it sounds super bitchy...sorry all, in a dramatic mood today apparently!

    I'm so using these responses next time!! The how are you feeling response had me laughing out loud. I seriously get asked that question EVERY TIME someone sees me. Wtf?!?! I can't wait to describe every single little intricacy of how I'm feeling next time I'm asked *insert evil laugh here*.
