I"m keeping my fingers crossed for those of you still left over on the May babies thread too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-look-miserable-enough-to-give-birth-yet#post-162595 Fri, 18 May 2012 08:31:58 +0000 pastemoo 162595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@His Barista: :) Nice. I like smiling. I hope they aren't that tough on me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-look-miserable-enough-to-give-birth-yet#post-162590 Fri, 18 May 2012 08:25:06 +0000 His Barista 162590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The nurse when I went in said I was still smiling so it must not be labor. About 3 minuets later I puked up my lunch so shed and everyone else decided I had the flu. </p> <p>4 hours and an IV later I think they felt bad for doubting me. Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-look-miserable-enough-to-give-birth-yet#post-162532 Fri, 18 May 2012 07:28:35 +0000 pastemoo 162532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: How are you holding up? Don't see you on the May Babies thread much, but I know you're due yesterday. Good luck!</p> <p>@Running Elley: And that is why she is a JERK. Yuck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-look-miserable-enough-to-give-birth-yet#post-161839 Thu, 17 May 2012 17:52:04 +0000 Running Elley 161839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaLove: I literally just laughed out loud…that is the weirdest comment that I’ve ever heard! It just sounds so creepy and doomsday-y!</p> <p>When a lady at work found out I’m pregnant (I don’t like her so I didn’t tell her) she started with “But you’re carrying so well!” I was pleasantly surprised because she’s never nice to me UNTIL she followed up with…” I thought you were getting chunky but I just assumed it was just happy marriage weight.” Boo. She proceeded to tell me horror stories about how she almost died in labor with her daughter and about one of her friends who lost her twins at full term. What an awful woman! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-look-miserable-enough-to-give-birth-yet#post-161758 Thu, 17 May 2012 16:28:42 +0000 mediagirl 161758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Goldilocks1107: ha ha ha - "no, I'm not. I'm a figment of your imagination." That's classic.</p> <p>The midwife today said to me with a very happy face, "You have no stretch marks! You are so lucky!!!!" I love her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-look-miserable-enough-to-give-birth-yet#post-161752 Thu, 17 May 2012 16:21:21 +0000 MsLipGloss 161752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Goldilocks1107: Lol @ figment of your imagination. And YaY! for nice comments. I hope the trend continues! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-look-miserable-enough-to-give-birth-yet#post-161269 Thu, 17 May 2012 10:35:04 +0000 Goldilocks1107 161269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually had two nice comments yesterday. Both at the gym.<br /> 1. Girl at the front desk (who I've talked to a few times about my due date in 4 days): You are my inspiration for when I get pregnant - I'm rooting for you!<br /> I told her that I hoped it was the last time she'd see me for awhile!<br /> 2. On my way to the locker room, a younger guy (maybe 18?) says "Congratulations!"<br /> Something so small really made an otherwise crappy day perk up. I think I got in a better workout because of those two pick-me-ups.</p> <p>Of course, then I get to work today and have the requisite 100 comments of "You're still here?!?" No. I'm not. I'm a figment of your imagination. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-look-miserable-enough-to-give-birth-yet#post-161235 Thu, 17 May 2012 10:03:46 +0000 pastemoo 161235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: LOL. Love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-look-miserable-enough-to-give-birth-yet#post-160449 Wed, 16 May 2012 14:00:33 +0000 heffalump 160449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother and SIL just made fun of me because of my multitasking. I was eating dinner and trying to help LO drink from her sippy cup, and trying to stop the sippy cup from falling while not knowing what to do with the huge ear of corn in my mouth. They found it funny... but all I could think was they won't be laughing when they have their triplets soon and they will have even less time than I do to eat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-look-miserable-enough-to-give-birth-yet#post-160381 Wed, 16 May 2012 13:28:21 +0000 mediagirl 160381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaLove: what a weird comment!!</p> <p>@sorrycharlie: are you supposed to sleep sitting up? :)</p> <p>I guess this is more funny than anything else but the UPS guy came into the office today. I hadn't seen him in a few months...maybe 4 or 5. He looked at me, his eyes got all wide and pointed at my belly, then covered his mouth, then mouthed, "Look at you!" to me. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-look-miserable-enough-to-give-birth-yet#post-160373 Wed, 16 May 2012 13:25:39 +0000 MamaLove 160373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recently stopped to get gas, and the stranger next to me asked when I was due. I told her my due date and she goes "Good luck..." I started to smile, because I thought she was being sweet. And then she finished "... with the pain." Meaning the pain that comes with delivery.</p> <p>WHAT?! That's all you have to say about pregnancy? Good luck with the pain!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-look-miserable-enough-to-give-birth-yet#post-159584 Tue, 15 May 2012 17:36:16 +0000 sorrycharlie 159584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>UGH. I need to start keeping a vent-journal.</p> <p>On Mother's Day, my relatives that I only see a handful of times a year had all sorts of fun crap to share. Whenever they asked me something, such as "how are you feeling?" "oh, you popped a little!" "what's her name?" I got in return, "oh, you just wait!" "psh, you think you're big now?" (I don't) "oh please, you have no idea yet!" etc. Why the heck even ask me?! </p> <p>They also informed me that if baby hates her name I have time to change it. Unfortunately for baby, I'm not waiting until she's 15 to pick a name, so..she'll learn to like it.</p> <p>I was also told babies HATE when moms lay down (uh..) and that is why she kicks me at night. (oky doke). </p> <p>A few weeks ago I was told that by ingesting caffeine I'm giving my baby ADHD, and that even though my OB said I could I can't have tylenol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-look-miserable-enough-to-give-birth-yet#post-159577 Tue, 15 May 2012 17:32:42 +0000 pastemoo 159577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL. today the check in lady at the gym asked "how much longer?" and then quickly "sorry, i know i'm not supposed to ask"<br /> i said, this week, and DH said "we're hoping for today that's why we're here."<br /> She laughed and wished us good luck.</p> <p>That was pretty much the best one. I've gotten all the same crap as the PPs too, but that's depressing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-look-miserable-enough-to-give-birth-yet#post-159527 Tue, 15 May 2012 16:36:25 +0000 Mrs. Cat in the Cradle 159527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: That is so rude! I've been told I pretty much lived in onesies during my first summer, and I imagine that is quite often the case when it is that warm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-look-miserable-enough-to-give-birth-yet#post-159524 Tue, 15 May 2012 16:34:48 +0000 Mrs. Cat in the Cradle 159524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"You're getting fat."</p> <p>o_0 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-look-miserable-enough-to-give-birth-yet#post-159390 Tue, 15 May 2012 15:00:11 +0000 Mrs. Pen 159390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: oh my gosh! That's awful. Sooo many babies jus wear onesies all summer. </p> <p>@mediagirl: Lol</p> <p>@PBandBaseball: so true too!</p> <p>@MsLipGloss: Me too!!! My brother in law said that to us alllll the time, they had a really high-maintenance baby from day 1, he seemed to think we'd have the exact sane experience, our son is totally opposite! Completely calm and quiet. Bow he says to his son (as a joke), "why can't you be more like your cousin!" lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-look-miserable-enough-to-give-birth-yet#post-159370 Tue, 15 May 2012 14:52:00 +0000 kiddosc 159370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a guy stop me in the grocery store the other day, point at my belly and ask if I could send some of that his wife's and his way. I just stared at him kind of dumbfounded and I think he realized his creepiness then. He apologized and said congrats, then walked off. </p> <p>Otherwise now at 39+6 I just get a lot of "oh you're still here" comments when I walk around at work. If I didn't have to pee so often I'd never leave my office. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-look-miserable-enough-to-give-birth-yet#post-159352 Tue, 15 May 2012 14:43:01 +0000 Foodnerd81 159352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think any of these compare to my sister's experience with an old couple. She was on a date with her boyfriend and this cute little old couple next to them kept looking over. Finally the old man asked, Sorry we keep looking, but we were wondering when you are due? </p> <p>She wasn't pregnant. She just likes loose dresses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-look-miserable-enough-to-give-birth-yet#post-159341 Tue, 15 May 2012 14:36:41 +0000 MsLipGloss 159341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@WinnieBee: And what is with the random belly touching? By a man?! I just don't get that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-look-miserable-enough-to-give-birth-yet#post-159335 Tue, 15 May 2012 14:34:27 +0000 LuLu Mom 159335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sister: Are you retaining water (while poking my ankles)<br /> Me: Nope I don't think so, I haven't gained any weight as of my last appointment &amp; according to my scale.<br /> Sister: Oh you look like you have gained a lot! I'm sure it's coming</p> <p>Thanks sis....ugh! For someone who was pregnant not even a year ago you think she would have a little more compassion with the weight comments! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-look-miserable-enough-to-give-birth-yet#post-159331 Tue, 15 May 2012 14:33:14 +0000 MsLipGloss 159331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What What What?!? *earssteaming* That sounds like it would come from the same person who gives ass-vice. *augh*</p> <p>Comments for me are usually *you are still pretty small* (I am 24 weeks this week) and my least favorite *just you wait.* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-look-miserable-enough-to-give-birth-yet#post-159322 Tue, 15 May 2012 14:29:04 +0000 winniebee 159322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: He asked when I was due and "what do I think of all of this!?" Whatever that's supposed to mean. I mean, he was probably over 60, but still, odd. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-look-miserable-enough-to-give-birth-yet#post-159318 Tue, 15 May 2012 14:27:51 +0000 mediagirl 159318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: HA HA HA - I am so surprised I have not heard "Oh bless your heart" yet!! :)<br /> @winniebee: a MAN? Yikes. That's odd. Did he say anything to you while he touched it?<br /> @autumnlove: uggghhh. People!<br /> @PBandBaseball: that is so true! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-look-miserable-enough-to-give-birth-yet#post-159314 Tue, 15 May 2012 14:26:09 +0000 chopsuey 159314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HAHA. :D Everyone asked if I was having twins and commented on huge I was.<br /> Thanks. It's the 50lbs I gained. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-look-miserable-enough-to-give-birth-yet#post-159313 Tue, 15 May 2012 14:25:37 +0000 winniebee 159313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Goldilocks1107: hehe. or, "nope! just carrying around a beach ball under my dress for fun." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-look-miserable-enough-to-give-birth-yet#post-159311 Tue, 15 May 2012 14:25:07 +0000 autumnlove 159311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yesterday, I took my LO to Target for a quick in and out trip for a light bulb. It has been really hot (92 degrees) so she was dressed in just a onesie with no pants, etc. I heard some guy grumbling to his wife about how that baby is almost naked in public and how some people don't need to be parents... Wow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-look-miserable-enough-to-give-birth-yet#post-159291 Tue, 15 May 2012 14:12:28 +0000 Goldilocks1107 159291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: To which you want to reply - "Nope, just left the kiddo at home." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-look-miserable-enough-to-give-birth-yet#post-159289 Tue, 15 May 2012 14:11:26 +0000 GrapeCrush 159289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was told the exact same thing the day before my due date. They said i was too happy and cheery to go into labor. I just thought well I feel miserable but I can't be miserable all the time, especially at work. But trust me I was ready! Lol </p>
