You said what?

Ok, I've got to say it...strangers say the craziest things when you're pregnant. These are some of the best ones that have come up recently

Standing at Home Depot checking out.....

Checker: Do you know what your having yet?
Me: Yes a boy.
Checker: Well, hopefully he's nice to you over the next few months...
Me: Ummm, yeah ( I was 39 wks pregnant)

These are from my husband....

He's had a few comments that are making me laugh...

In reference to a new stretch mark....'Oh Hon! That's just awful!!! He needs to come out before he makes more of those' (Really, thanks like I hadn't noticed it.)

To me before he left this morning, points at me 'YOU! Go into labor, I need a vacation!' (he thinks it's going to be a vacation?)

In reference to making smartass comments, 'Well, I'm safe from her punching me right now...I'm faster than her'...(you just wait buddy!)

My mom upon hearing that I was STILL pregnant on morning this past week.

''Well, he needs to hurry up and arrive. This is becoming very stressful and hard for your father and I to schedule around''....REALLY? I know they have a business to run and have to travel from Texas but still.

This one from the guy putting up Nora's swings:

Him: ''Is this your first?''
Me: ''Uh no, we have a 2.5 year old''

(Here's your sign buddy! WHY would be be buying a swingset, have a playhouse and toys scattered all over the yard if we didn't already have one kid?)

These are random comments I've gotten from neighbors seeing me on a walk.

''You haven't had that kid yet''

''Still carrying him around, lazy isn't he?''

''Look, I told you she was huge!'' (from a female friend that I know gained twice what I have)

I'm sure that there will be more comments that I remember soon enough. This post may become VERY long.

Told ya there'd be more!....

Lady at the nail salon ( I was getting a pedicure to see if the acupuncturist points that induce labor could be massaged)

Lady: 'When are you due?'
Me: Yesterday
Lady: Yeah you look sort of ripe.

I think I just laughed under my breathe...RIPE! Like a watermelon or something.

this post made me laugh and shake my head. People just say the STUPIDEST things to pregnant women. It made me remember a post similar that I wrote towards the end with Mark... here's the direct link if you want. I went back and reread the stupid things people said to me. http://katezramblings.blogspot.com/2008/11/general-public.html
