(Upon hearing that I'll have two boys 22 months apart) "Wow, you're going to be busy!" Ohmygoodness, I never thought of that! What was I thinking? I'm not busy at all now, but with TWO... uh oh...
"That top is really slimming on you. It makes you look less pregnant!" I know you mean it as a compliment, but all I heard was 'Wow, you've put on a lot of weight and that shirt hides it pretty well.'
"You're getting closer!" Why, yes, I am. In fact, I'm exactly two days closer to having this baby than the last time I saw you!
I'm sure there are more... these are just the ones fresh in my mind from hearing them all in the last week or two. What about you? What do you absolutely not want to hear (even from incredibly nice, well-meaning people!) when pregnant? Or have you been on the giving-end of a particular gem? :)
Awwww, poor panda kitten! I can't see you, but I know you look absolutely lovely. FACT.
ReplyDeleteYou're also an amazing Mama. FACT. :)
Love, Sarah
I miss you like crazy. FACT. :)
DeleteHere's a few (this is my favorite game by the way...):
ReplyDelete"You're how far along? Wow, you look SMALL." - Thank you...my goal is to grow a healthy baby, so are you saying my baby isn't healthy?!
"You were due two days ago? I'm so sorry!" - Really? Are you really sorry? Because I don't think you have a clue what I'm going through right now.
"You guys are great parents!" - Wow, thanks! Too bad you don't know me from Eve, but thanks for the compliment. Do you know I almost sold my toddler on craigslist today due to his sassy two year old behavior?! Yep, great parents.
{after the baby is here} "How old is he?...Wow! He's FAT!" - Uh, no he's not. Babies are supposed to put on lots of weight and get chunky...my baby is HEALTHY, not fat.
I could go on and on...
I knew you would have some good ones, Lynn. Did they all come from college students?
DeleteOh no. They come from people who should definitely know better. Congrats on Liam! He is perfect!
