Not sure if anyone figured it out or not, but on Wednesday I was in love with the number 3! Why? Because I officially hit the 30 week mark. I've had quite a few due dates given to me, ranging from December 11 - 15th. Erring on the side of caution I always use December 15th here. (I'd rather figure later than earlier)
So what's the big deal about 30 weeks? 85% of women give birth before their due dates. 5% give birth on their due dates and 10% give birth after their due dates. This means that in the vast majority of cases there is never a "4" in front of the number of weeks pregnant you are. Home stretch!
Today should be my Friday Funnies post, but honestly...I'm just too annoyed. I get the feeling that once I start maternity leave I'm not going to want to leave the house at all. I am so sick of people commenting on either a)the size of my belly or b)attributing everything to the fact that I'm pregnant.
Some examples:
I came back from lunch today with a slurpee only to have one of the guys say: "Oh, the pregnant girl has a slurpee...must be a craving!" Yeah, never mind the fact that it's a beautiful sunny day, plus 25 degrees C and nicer than it was all summer. Seriously. I love slurpees even when not pregnant!
Reaching for something on top of a shelf at work only to hear this: "hahaha, pretty soon you're going to need longer arms to reach in front of that belly." I'm short, my arms are short, and very few things in life are made with short people in mind. This includes shelf height! It has nothing to do with pregnancy and everything to do with being vertically challenged!
Ordering a sandwich at a restaurant and asking for a pickle on the side (an option available to anyone who orders a sandwich). "Gotta love those pickle cravings hahaha." No you freaking imbecile! I just like pickles on the side of a sandwich! Like probably 95% of the rest of the population!
I swear this is worse than pms. I'm about to completely lose it on someone! ARGH! Is it too much to ask that I just get through each day without being bothered? I'd be much happier if no one even mentioned the fact that I'm pregnant. Please, strangers in my life...go back to ignoring me. We'll all be a lot happier!
On the upside, it's a long weekend this weekend so Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Canadians! Also been a good week on the rainbow front. One more rainbow baby confirmed on the way (Congrats Z!) and one due to enter the world at any minute now (Congrats Jen!). Always brightens my week to get that kind of news. Happy Friday to all and yay for short work weeks next week!
