Crossing the line

Here are a few things that I believe are crossing the line when talking to a pregnant woman.

How much weight have you gained?

DO NOT ask a pregnant girl that, especially at the end of her pregnancy.  It's none of your business.  Let her be, let her eat her donuts, let her eat her brownies because her back and feet really hurt along with all of her insides.

Have you dilated any?

I don't ask you about your vagina, why are you asking me about mine?  I mean really - why do women think that is an appropriate question?  Sure, if we are close friends ask away because odds are you have probably seen me naked on numerous occasions but if I don't know you that well or you are a random person, don't ask me about my goods.  That's really awkward.

You only have two weeks left....unless you go over like I did!

Please shut up, I do not care.

Are you ever going to have that baby?

Nope, he is going to stay inside of me forever because it's so much fun.  I'm doing all I can do to have this baby other than stick my hand in and pull him out.  Yes, I'm going to have him and I'm so excited to sniff his little neck I can hardly wait! 

You haven't dropped any - you aren't ready.  
You're nose hasn't spread across your face yet - you aren't ready.
If you say "you aren't ready" one more time to me I'm going to knock you out...



This is me, almost 10 months pregnant.  I am actually at peace knowing that my body is doing what it is supposed to be doing...I wanted to cry when I left the doctors office this morning but I didn't.  Hopefully one day very soon Oaks will decide it is time for him to make his appearance and then I won't have to worry about dilation or swelling - and people asking weird questions that freak me out.

Cory and I continue to work on our house to get it ready for his arrival.  We are so blessed to have so many people who are willing to help us (mainly help me) work around the house since my legs and feet have kept me from doing a lot these past few weeks.

Oaks doesn't understand the amount of love he has coming for him or I know he would already be in this world taking in all those hugs and kisses.
