Scene 1:
Random Guy: "So, when's the big day?"
Me: "November 10th."
Random Guy: "Oh man, that’s a Scorpio... uhh... maybe you should try to push it back so it's a Sagittarius instead."
WTF?
Scene 2: (My friend's mom)
Her: "Oh my goodness, you look like you're about to pop!"
Me: 🙄
Her: "How much longer?"
Me: "6 weeks."
Her: "Gosh, I just hope you can make it through two more weeks so you hit the third trimester and can finally catch your breath. Is it a girl or a boy?"
Me: "Nope..." It's Johnny 😍
Her: "Aw, it's such a shame it's not a girl, especially since he already has a sonb> (yeah, he has a son from a previous marriage)...
😲
And oh my gosh, how many times have I heard variations of that exact same thing... "Oh, another little boy..." "Ah, it would've been better if it were a girl since he already has a son..."
I mean, seriously... so what if he already has a son? So what, he gets to have another one too! ☕ Besides, this is my very first baby... 😍
Honestly, everyone needs to just get off my back (as Tony would say) 🤣
And as far as shopping for clothes and gear goes... honestly, I would have loved to start buying everything the second I found out I was pregnant, but hey, who am I kidding, nobody's letting me do anything! 🤣
Finally, after what feels like an absolute eternity, I’ve stumbled upon something in this thread that actually makes me want to lose my mind—I honestly think I’d be absolutely losing it if I were stuck in that situation myself.
And the rest... I don't know. Honestly, I was being a total jerk to a friend too—I actually asked her how much weight she’d put on. God, I felt like such an idiot. I think I might have looked a little surprised when I finally saw her, too, which didn't help, considering she had already gotten pretty huge. 😍
Look, she’s a friend of mine—really—and she says all sorts of things to me. Honestly? I just don't let any of it get to me. I tend to just tune it out.
It doesn't bother me one bit. 🤷
Honestly, I don’t get it—this whole idea that you shouldn't buy gas for a kid... it’s just plain nonsense. I really can't wrap my head around that logic.
