My LO is always very alert when we're out so people aren't scared of waking him and will always ask questions. A lady started to grab his feet at a restaurant a couple of weeks ago until DH reached out to stop her and said 'Careful. He bites!' lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-baby-is-like-being-a-celebrity#post-925079 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 21:45:15 +0000 wonderstruck 925079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septemberlove: Yep, those are the exact questions I get in that exact order! Usually followed by, "Is this your first?" I thought people asked a lot of questions when you had a pregnant belly, but it's a whole different story when there's a baby they can actually see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-baby-is-like-being-a-celebrity#post-925035 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 21:32:54 +0000 Ginabean3 925035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septemberlove: omg, we have the preemie issue too! If I say 5 months they say "she's tiny" and theni have to explain she was 2 months early...next time I'm just going to say she's 7 and see what happens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-baby-is-like-being-a-celebrity#post-924945 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 21:07:57 +0000 chopsuey 924945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cause your baby's cute!! :) ppl love looking at my chubby baby too though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-baby-is-like-being-a-celebrity#post-924276 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 18:50:43 +0000 aprk 924276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, especially when I am wearing him. I guess it's a novelty? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-baby-is-like-being-a-celebrity#post-924224 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 18:38:48 +0000 MrsStar 924224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had a few old ladies stop me in the grocery store to talk to lo. Once it was horrible though because lo was in serious stranger anxiety mode and one lady got in her face and lo freaked out! Then we were stared at because lo was distraught. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-baby-is-like-being-a-celebrity#post-924214 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 18:36:42 +0000 MaisyMay 924214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, but it's kinda fun. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-baby-is-like-being-a-celebrity#post-924198 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 18:33:31 +0000 Dandelion 924198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always said I felt like a puppeteer. DS was my little muppet and no one really noticed I was around too, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-baby-is-like-being-a-celebrity#post-924176 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 18:28:13 +0000 Andrea 924176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: @yin: yeah, I feel sad when people only comment about the baby when my older one is there. It happens all the time. I usually try and say something nice to my older one when that happens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-baby-is-like-being-a-celebrity#post-924063 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 18:06:21 +0000 yin 924063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO was a celebrity as a baby but not so much now as a toddler. People love to comment and ask questions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-baby-is-like-being-a-celebrity#post-923696 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 16:21:05 +0000 Smurfette 923696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! But I love people telling me how beautiful she is. Now leaving the doctors office with her screaming from shots I don't like people staring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-baby-is-like-being-a-celebrity#post-923675 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 16:16:47 +0000 BoogieBea 923675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha. We used to live in asia and they LOVE babies there. At restaurants, the wait staff would take him and walk him around the restaurant to let us finish our meal. A group of middle aged women stopped us at the airport once to take a picture with them. I had my son in the ergo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-baby-is-like-being-a-celebrity#post-923652 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 16:10:28 +0000 autumnlove 923652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but I kinda like it now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-baby-is-like-being-a-celebrity#post-923651 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 16:09:56 +0000 lomom 923651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All. The. Time. The grocery store is the worst. </p> <p>I feel bad because I'm always rushing through the grocery and they always want to ask 1,000 questions!</p> <p>Boy or girl? (Even though lo is always decked out in very obviously boy stuff)</p> <p>How old? (Which always brings about this whole discussion of him being a preemie, though I've started lying and he's started catching up so we don't get this AS much as we used to)</p> <p>What's his name?</p> <p>And then sometimes they even launch into discussions of their kids/grandkids lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-baby-is-like-being-a-celebrity#post-923631 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 16:04:43 +0000 Foodnerd81 923631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby's not here yet, but people stare at me and my belly all the time. Getting to the point of being uncomfortable (I'm 37 weeks). I don't mind a nice comment here or there but don't just stare! (and please do NOT say I look miserable!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-baby-is-like-being-a-celebrity#post-923624 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 16:03:38 +0000 heffalump 923624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It stopped after she became a toddler. They're always looking at her baby cousin instead. I feel kind of bad for LO. I know people are obsessed with babies.... but she's cute too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/having-a-baby-is-like-being-a-celebrity#post-923617 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 16:02:09 +0000 Andrea 923617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People stop and stare and try to look at the baby constantly. Mostly middle-aged/old ladies. Lol. </p> <p>Does this happen to you? </p>
