Don't get me wrong - I love being pregnant. But of course there are some things that are testing my patience to say the least.

1. My MIL is so selfish I sat through 90mins of her crapping on until she asked me how everything is going with the pregnancy. This is her only son's first baby so you think she could show a tad more interest. When I showed her the 12 week scan pics, she proceeded to tell me how tired she is & how she didn't get anything done over the weekend because she's so exhausted. Hello - I haven't cleaned the house in weeks darl

2. Yes everyone is an expert & it's so annoying!! As if none of us has done any pregnancy research ourselves!! I have gotten "You know you shouldn't drink any alcohol/eat ham/soft cheeses/drink coffee/smoke etc" "Oh you know you should be taking folate don't you?" "You know you should stay away from kitty litter" "16 weeks is too early to feel the baby move, are you sure you know what you're feeling? It should feel like butterflys" & "You know natural childbirth is very painful." The last two comments were from somebody who has never even had kids

3. People telling me I am having a boy or a girl because of my stomach, my hips, what side I feel movements on or how many letters in my maiden name.

4. People saying "You're not finding out the sex are you?" Yes I will be hopefully, if bubs co-operates. "Oh that's so disappointing, you'll ruin the surprise, you will regret it." Personally I believe that it's these people who the surprise is ruined for. I will be excited no matter what - I am having a baby after all. What is more exciting than that?

Oh well, at least we have a great site like this where everyone understands
