What did you say?!

     Over the past year or so there have been a few things said to me that I have really had to stop and think "Did you really just say that to me?" So I thought I would write a list, just so I can find the humor....

     Before I ever got pregnant

• "When are you guys going to have a baby?" - Don't say this to a woman, you don't know what they are going through. They could be trying, and not having any luck.
• "You guys have been married for (insert time frame here) and you still haven't had a baby?!" - See above.

Once we announced I was pregnant 

• "You're FINALLY pregnant?" -Seriously people
• "You're starting to show already." -Nope, I'm just fat! Thanks though!
• "You look tiny." -I feel like a cow (I know, there is no pleasing a pregnant lady)

Throughout the rest of the pregnancy

• "You look like you were ready to pop 2 months ago." -Ummm....Thanks?! 
• "You look totally miserable, of course that could just be the way you look, and you could feel great." -Yes, this was really said to me.
• "I'll get you a parachute at the Army Surplus store  to wear." (Thanks dad) He was TOTALLY kidding.
• "I don't know how you're still walking." 
• "You don't walk anymore. you waddle." -NO lady wants to hear that they are waddling. We already know we look ridiculous....HA!
• "You're gonna do (Thing) with your son? Really?" -YES! He's our son, and we'll do what we want to with him.
• "How are you feeling?" -I know this is just a question, and you probably are really concerned, but when we get to the very end of the pregnancy, you feel like CRAP! You hurt all over, you're tired beyond tired, your feet hurt, if you're like me, your swollen, EVERYWHERE, and you just want to cry. This is a very loaded question. So if you're going to ask it, prepare yourself. 
• "You'll wish you were still pregnant once that baby is here." -What are you trying to say? That I'm gonna wish my son wasn't born? I have put in the time, I think it's time that I get to hold my baby boy. Will I miss feeling him move, yes, however, I'm gonna have a baby. A baby that we WANTED. 
• "A REAL mother wouldn't put their child into daycare." -Ummm.....I have nothing to say to that one.
• "Things are going to be so hard when that baby comes." -Why can't people tell me how WONDERFUL things will be, how I'm gonna love being a mother, and how there's nothing like it in the world when your baby looks up at you and smiles for the first time?! THOSE are the things we want to hear. 
• "You'll think of divorce more in the first 3 months of your baby's life than you have the whole time you've been married." -I'm sorry your relationship is rocky, my husband and I will be just fine! 

I'm sure there are a few other ones that I've missed, but these are the ones that have really stuck out to me! When people say these things to you, all you can do is laugh. I mean, seriously, just laugh about it, because if you don't, it'll make it worse!
