oh and i forgot to tell you...

...that i did use my bitchy words about the comments. but then i felt guilty. to the first person, i just said that it didn't make me feel very good for her to make a comment like that. but to the second, she got an unfortunate tongue-lashing, for which i had to apologize for later.

i even used the f-word. yikes!

here's the most beautiful picture of my son, duke

i should write a book...

...about the comments people make to pregnant women.

1/12/07 - rant and rave #3:

*yesterday, at work, the first thing someone said to me was , "what, no baby yet?"

*then the next was, "oh look - your tummy has gotten even bigger since last week!"

*and the last, " is this your same pregnancy from when you worked at Saks?" (mind you, i haven't worked at Saks Fifth Avenue in OVER 2 years!!! nor was i pregnant there).

my girlfriend, jen, can't believe the amount of comments that i get on a daily basis. i can't believe it either. i'm sure i'm hyper-sensitive with massive amounts of hormones wreaking havoc through my body, so that makes me even more touchy.

don't you guys think it's weird, too?

i actually think i look cute. so that's a good thing, i guess.

by-the-way, we found out we're having another boy!!!

names we are toying with are:

*gannon (lisa's choice)

*atticus (both like)

*scout (both like)

*romeo (kelly says no)

*xerxe (not sure - we do like it, but no one can pronounce it)

obviously we like very different names.

and the latest unkind remark is ...

"Wow, you look great! Do you think that your baby will make wait to make it to the New Year?"

GRRRRRRRR!

People - I AM ONLY 4 1/2 MONTHS PREGNANT! I am NOT due now!

I cannot believe the gall or the nerve of people. It's absolutely asinine. I have actually lost 8 pounds so far into this pregnancy (should have gained around 7 lbs.), so that is a 15 pound spread ... can you imagine how rude people would be if I had not lost any weight, but gained it as the doctors would have me do? I am not obese, in fact, I am not even that much overweight. I just have a big tummy for a big baby.

Lay off me, people, or I will have to start using my bitchy-words to put you in your place.
