30 Weeks, 1 Day

I'm so over being pregnant.

Why does everyone feel the need to point out that I'm "getting big." I'm not "getting big;" I passed through big a long time ago and now have reached what can only be described as "beached whale."

Also, why do people feel that it is completely appropriate to ask how much weight I've gained. Unless you're offering up your own weight, it's None Of Your Damn Business. You wouldn't walk up to a non-preganant woman and ask her what she weighed, would you. And if you would, you're just an idiot.

And stop touching my belly. I know it's there. I know it's big. Leave it the hell alone. I don't poke at your fat, do I? First of all, my skin is itchy, and when you pat my belly it makes it worse. Second of all, the baby doesn't like it. I swear, I'm going to start grabbing boobs. You touch my belly - I feel you up. Seems fair to me.

And I DO NOT "LOOK SO GOOD." So stop saying it. I'm in touch with reality. I own mirrors. I know how I look. Tell me I look tired. Tell me I look like I need a nap. Tell me I look ready to bite the head off the next person who looks at me sideways.

And I am coming back to work. So stop fricking telling me that having the baby will change my life and I'll stay home. Stop telling me about all the people that couldn't hack it being a working mom and cried every day until they decided to stay home. I realize the baby will change my life, but unless I decide that living on the street is better than being a homeowner and that I don't really need health insurance, my sorry ass is coming back to work. In September. Get over it.

God, I hate everyone.

EDIT: There are 69 days left.

Big hugs to you.....don't grab boobs, kick them in the shin!
I can't believe that people are actually asking how much you have gained!!

Wow, you're getting big! But you look so good! How much weight have you gained, anyway? Can I touch your belly?

P.S. Having the baby will change your life and you will stay home - I know so many people who couldn't hack being a workig mom and cried every day until they decided to stay home!

J/K - hope that all is well with you and people have decided to shut their dumb traps!

Um.....ya i'm sure! I want to say wow your fat are sure you are dieting! I had a girl ask me the othetr say if i was still with the father of my baby! I don't know if people are just really dumb now that i am pregnant or if i just didn't notice it pre pregnancy! i have gotten to where i just smile and walk away because i can't deal with it! Down with the idiots!!!!
