"Are you sure there is just one in there?"

Dear family and friends,

I thought I would blog about how completely RUDE people are when you are pregnant. It absolutely boggles my mind that some people, friends included, have the audacity to ask questions such as, "Are you sure there is just one in there?" The funny part is that they ask that question when they positively know that there is in fact "just one in there." The next time someone asks me that I will probably respond, very sarcastically, "Oh gosh I hadn't thought of that! I'm four months along and I've heard the heartbeat already but I bet we the doctor missed another heartbeat! Thanks for asking me that vital question!"

I suppose I shouldn't be blogging while I am angry. Tonight I found out that a friend said something behind my back relating to this issue and now I'm upset! I came home thinking to myself that the only person I can ever trust and who has never let me down is my husband, Ian. He is always honest with me and has never done or said anything behind my back, or at least I've never caught him! :-) But I suppose that is for a different blog.

I wonder why people do ask silly questions and make rude comments when you're pregnant. Are they jealous that they aren't pregnant? Are they mad that I still weigh less than them even though I'm pregnant and they aren't? Are they mad that I am happy and they are trying to bring me down to their sad level? Hmmm...I don't know, but this is a friendly warning that the next time someone asks me a question equally offensive as the title of this blog, they will not be happy with my response. Hopefully, a LOT of friends are reading this particular blog! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!

Many people made stupid comments while I was pregnant the first time as well. I am completely shocked that society thinks this is normal behavior! I mean I see pregnant women all the time and even think to myself, "Wow, she is pretty big!" Never would I ask her a question such as, "Are you having twins, triplets?" And yes I have even had strangers ask me said question!

So for the sake of all pregnant women; please I beg of you, do not, I repeat DO NOT, ask stupid, offensive questions or make rude, out of this world comments! Thank you for your fast cooperation with this urgent matter.

The End
