family... gotta love them!

The other day someone had a post about the annoying things people say to you when you're pregnant... I just went to my nieces birthday party and walk in the door. My grandma says "I think you are having twins" grandpa "you look pregnant" sister "how's my nephew". Grandma after having 2 ultrasounds I am only pregnant with one... I'm 23 weeks and I know you mean no harm but what I hear is " you are big". Sister, I know you had 3 girls and I have 1 girl but what I hear is "if its another girl, that's annoying" I'm excited for whichever I have.

Its just funny b/c my step dad will call me "fatty" which I'm not offended b/c he's saying it as a joke. But when ppl seriously question how many human beings I have in my tummy! Lol. Which I'm not mad, just annoyed that ppl don't hear what they say.

It seems like people lose all tact around a pregnant woman and just say whatever they want to not realizing that they are talking to somebody hormonal and emotional and will more than likely take their comments offensively... I was at the bank and some lady asked me when I was due... I said June 5th... and she said "you still have 2 more months where are you going to put it?" -- im actually not that big and I was much bigger with my last pregnancy... it was just soo rude!!

Huh, here this out..
I told my mom was she insisted buying smth for me, as my hubby went back home on a visit.
She wanted to have him smth for me.
So I took advantage of this n asked her to send me some nice comfy, tshirts.
She goes "oh but how will I know what size u are, I saw a picture of u, u look big plus I don't know ur style anymore ". Mom m just pregnant.. Which will change! Gawd!
I'm like wtf?

Well, today my mom wanted me to try on a shirt that she bought but was too big for her. So I asked, "are you calling me fat?" She then proceeded, "well you are.....pregnant." As if she had to catch herself before she finished her answer. I managed to keep my feelings in tact, but it's the freaking principal. So, I can relate....lol.

My family irritates the crap out of me, thankfully they don't live near me and I just ignore calls when I'm not in the mood to speak to them.
