unwanted attention

Ugh ok so I know there is nothing I can do about it. But I am so tired of having random stranger people comment on me being pregnant or asking how far along I am. Its so old and annoying. Maybe I should ask how ok they are in response. Lol but seriously I am almost to the point where I just want to ignore people but I know I wont because its rude.  I am still a human being and my happiness with my child has nothing to do with them and is none of their busniess.
So ready to be done.

I'm sick of being told how "huge" I am, how I'll "never make it to June" (I've been overdue 3 times, so this is not comforting!) At the docs the other day an old couple topped the lot for rude comments though, first commenting that there would be a big age gap between my daughter and this baby, when I replied that I had 2 other children I was told I needed to "get a TV...or a hobby" rude or what??!!!

OMG! I'm right there with you, I'm so done with small talk! I've never liked it but now that I'm a whale I hate the 21 questions! And the awkward "can I touch your belly?" Uh, I don't know you. Haha

I would love to have the resting ***** face but I dont I look like a kind approachable blonde women.  I guess I dont have too much longer. It sucked though last night was my brothers wedding and all I wanted to do was do shots and have a good time with him since its been a long time coming for him to get married. And I feel like a whale.though I think I picked out a pretty dress.  I also felt so unbalanced and I usually love yo dance.

***** face TOTALLY works! And I just shaved the side of my hair so I look extra bad *** when I'm in public! No annoying questions for me!!! Oh, but I do this lovely thing now, when ppl say something to me when I'm not expecting them to I always turn around and say, "I'm sorry?" or "pardon?" Once, a girl was asking what was having, her face turned beet red! She was like, "wait, you are pregnant, right?!" Lol! That was fun!

I find I don't mind when people ask questions or comment on my size. I had a very hard time getting pregnant. Why should I let it both me? This is what I wanted. I have other things to worry about than some strangers comments

I have been working on improving my resting b*tch face for exactly this reason. People don't randomly approach me quite so often. But when I've got my 4-year-old with me, he's so friendly that other people are pretty hard to avoid. I try not to let it bug me too much. Only a few more weeks to go of my very last pregnancy... I can't let it bother me that someone else noticed!

I haven't really had anyone make direct comments to me or try to touch me. I heard a few people at stores make comments to their spouses or people they were with about remembering when they were pregnant or something similar to that, but no one has approached me with any questions. I guess I'm lucky. I don't think I'd handle questions or someone trying to touch me very well.

I hate that too, I had the lady at the drug store say "oh you're getting ready down there for the big day eh?" When I was buying razors and wax and I'm like uh no actually I buy things when they're on sale

When it's strangers I just make stuff up. They don't need to know how far along I am or the gender or name, so I come up with new answers each time :-)  What really bugs me is when people ask if I am going into labor just because Baby kicks real hard and I hold my belly, and when I say no they just keep asking. That's super annoying.
