Comments to a pregnant lady

We all know pregnant women can be overly sensitive, shall we say?
These are a few choice comments I have had along the way during this pregnancy...some good, some not so good!
Enjoy!

"Oh yes, I remember last time...you got SOOOOO HUGE!!!"

"Mommy, that girl was REALLY fat!"

"It looks good on you, Ma'am"

"You must eat here A LOT!!" (the owner of babe's chicken restaurant

"It sure is hangin' low"

"You are carrying well"

"You look so cute!"

"You're belly is so small" (and then the next day:...

"Wow, you are VERY pregnant!" (really?? I hadn't noticed!)

"Hoping for a boy this time??"

"Can I touch the belly?" (only if I can touch yours)

"You must be dying in this heat" (yes...I am!)

Random updates


Hey all, sorry we haven't posted in awhile, it has been a rough month this month! Very busy and a lot going on!
Baby girl baking is still baking right along. We are right on schedule for almost 37 weeks...so, I'm starting to freak out a little b/c we don't have her room ready yet. Have made some progress as in Norm got the room painted, and we hired out getting the floors put in. What a relief that was. So nice to have that check in the box. Norm really wanted to do it himself...but there is just no time. So, our small little project of putting new floors in the baby's room turned into not only that, but new floors in the front room and new floors in the living room and foyer, plus new baseboard trim for everyone! I'm not so sure I would recommend major home improvement right before your baby comes, but hey...we like living on the edge.

In other news, if you haven't heard, we have a sick puppy, people. Our sweet Elvis was diagnosed with lung cancer a few weeks ago. I know, lung cancer, in a dog? Weird...too many cigs for Elvis I guess. : ) Not sure what his time frame is, we're just taking it day by day. Of course, the last time he was diagnosed with the stage 4 "very bad" tumor that we had removed, they gave him 2 months..even with the surgery. That was almost 4 years ago I think? So, we'll just see. The dr. said there isn't much they can do, and that we can make him comfy and feed him whatever he wants! He is loving that! Norm grilled him a nice new york strip the other day which made him quite perky. He has good days and bad, we're just loving on him the best we can and seeing how it goes. I don't think he's quite ready to "leave the building" just yet.

Other than that, we are just trying to get prepared for the new addition! Pepaw Snowden is coming down this weekend to help Norm put together baby furniture and try to get this room pulled together. I'm going out on a search for curtain material and other little things we need. Gotta get the co-sleeper out of the attic and the infant car seat cleaned up and ready to go! Etc, etc, etc...will keep you posted on any new developments!

An Open Letter to my Baking Baby

Why must you always stand or kick or punch mommy's bladder? Why????
