I'm getting annoyed of hearing the following:
"How are you feeling?"
I know people care, it's nice to care, but when the same people ask me that several times a week and I give the same answer every single time, it gets old.
"See what you have to look forward to!"
Yes, I know what's coming, I chose to become a parent, and I do indeed look forward to it.
"Babies are harder than you think!"
No, they're really not. I don't expect a cute little angel. I know babies poop, I know babies cry, I know they need attention, love, 24/7 care, and I know you have to wake up with them several times during the night. I know I will have no time for me once the baby is born. I CHOSE that. I've had 23 years of "me" time, I'm ready to be a mom. I've never once thought babies are a piece of cake.
"You're not even showing!"
I'm not showing? None of my old pants fit, my belly is bulging and my face is rounding. So I just look fat then? Awesome.
I'm tired of being pregnant. I want the attention gone and I want this baby here!
Rant over.
Oh I got so sick of people saying those same things to me! I also got sick of, "Sleep as much as you can now, because once that baby is born you won't sleep at all!"
ReplyDeleteFALSE: I couldn't sleep at all while I was prego (too uncomfortable) and I honestly sleep better now with a baby here!
Don't listen to people - they don't realize that being a mommy is the best thing in the whole wide world even if kiddos get cranky now and then.
Hang in there! P.S. You ARE showing and you have the cutest little pregnant belly! You wear it well!
As mothers, we have an amazing, God given ability, to adjust to the needs of our babies. Is it an adjustment? Is it hard? Yes. And yes, sometimes. But we do it. And we fall more in love with the tiny life we created, in our very own body, every time we have to wake up for a feeding or change a poopy diaper. Creating life and being a mommy is a very demanding role to be responsible for, but it's also the most rewarding.....rewarding beyond measure! We make A LOT of sacrifices when we chose to bear children, but NOTHING can or ever will compare to the joy of motherhood! I 100% agree with Angelise...don't listen to people. Just turn it back on them and give them something to think about. Just because it's hard for person "A" doesn't mean it's going to be hard for you. Hang in there, cutie!! You do, indeed, wear pregnancy well.
