Holy Hormones
Okay, I know hormones are a thing that comes along with pregnancy. I have only had an issue with them once or twice. Today was a different story. The things that are coming out of people's mouths is dumbfounding. Let me get on my pregnant lady "soap box."
Things Not To Say To A Pregnant Lady
1. You are looking pregnant from behind today.
-Come on...why would you say that. I am pregnant and I know I look pregnant.
2. Wow, you sure are waddling today.
-Yes, I know...you don't have to point it out every time you see me.
3. You are getting huge.
-Would you like me to talk to you about your weight? Especially if I weigh less than you right now.
**Also...never tell a pregnant lady what to eat or what not to eat. I am a grown-up..unless you want me to tell you what to eat don't give me advice on nutrition.
**I really can make it through a day without hearing your pregnancy horror story...or your friend's horror story, or your aunt's friend's cousin's story.
**If you don't have anything positive to say to me....don't talk to me. Seriously.

Okay, I'm done. :) Usually, none of this would bother me one bit. It is totally my hormones getting the best of me. It is none of you saying these things...it's just some people who speak before they think. :(

I love being pregnant. I love the way my pregnant belly looks. I am taking good care of myself and the growing baby in me. Everything just got to me today. Tomorrow is another day. :)
