What were your biggest pregnancy surprises and pet peeves?

slybadger99 said:Haha, I haven't even gotten to that yet. It's still way too early.

I don't have my meeting until 11:00 tomorrow.

I really ought to add the ticker symbol.

Your little tests actually seem to be quite lucky, 😁

yeah, apparently 🙂
because they’re blessed by fate—bringing nothing but good vibes 😍
you're already 11 weeks 😲 put a pregnancy bar in your signature and get over to City Hall... you seem pretty hormonally charged... I dig that vibe 😍
come on, get to City Hall

😛 How am I supposed to admit that? 🙈 Since 🙂 you guys 😛 will just

A colleague told me she can't wait to find out the gender so she can go on a shopping spree—statements like that 🙂 I actually thought I might overdo it with baby stuff too, but I didn't

Plus, every single talk with my mom about sterilizing bottles ends up... well, a disagreement. 🙄

I know exactly how that goes...🙄

man, you really think 🍿

There’s this one thing that always cracks me up—not that it actually bugs me or anything—but it’s hilarious how people constantly try to guess if I'm wearing eyeliner. It’s like a weird little game they play, except everyone comes up with a totally different reason why they think I am. One lady told me I was definitely rocking liner because I wear my hair low, then literally the next day, someone else swears I’m wearing it because I wear my hair high. Like, okay, thanks for the input, I guess? So, what do you think, 🤣

I think I’ve heard that theory floating around too, you know, the one where they say if you’re carrying low, it’s gotta be a boy. But honestly, how is anyone supposed to actually tell if it's low or high? I haven't the slightest clue, really 😬

I think I’ve heard that theory floating around too, you know, the one where they say if you're carrying low, it's gotta be a boy. But honestly, I have no clue how anyone is supposed to actually tell if it's low or high, I guess it's all just guesswork to me 😬

Since I was zero years old, everyone—my husband, my mom, my dad, even my mother-in-law—has been telling me they feel like this guy is 😵

My dear little home prophets also love to chat about stuff like how I'll look on the beach, if I’m gonna turn into Rambo, whether I'll be able to see my own feet, and all that junk... 😛

Yeah, 🤔—I'm also sitting here wondering what counts as high or low. 🤔

Honestly, those ridiculous "old wives' tales" about guessing someone's gender just by looking at their baby bump really get under my skin.🙄

It’s always the same story with people constantly trying to guess what 🙄 is... people can be so incredibly exhausting. Some woman actually had the nerve to tell me I still have a waist, implying it must belong to a man ☕
... It honestly grates on my nerves how everyone feels entitled to know exactly how many pounds I’ve gained 🙂 why does it matter to anyone else 🙂 🙂
...

Yesterday, the cashier at my local bakery asked me—how much longer do you have left?
Me: Two months.
Cashier: Oh, and what’s it going to be?
Me: I don't know (and honestly, I really didn't feel like getting into a debate with a stranger about my baby's gender)
Cashier: Well, it's a boy—I can just tell by the bump!

🤣 😬

I still don't even know the gender, so just imagine the sheer amount of guesswork going on here 🙂
Everyone’s out here pushing their own little theories, and they all contradict each other 🙂
Honestly, you don't know whether to laugh or just cry...

God 🤣
I didn't have a clue during your weeks either, so I just sat back and listened to everything... but somehow, everyone seemed convinced it was a boy, though they were all just speculating based on random things😂😂😂

Everyone keeps telling me I’ve "filled out," which is basically code for saying I have a masculine build now

I can't tell if people are actually trying to be nice or just being blunt, but honestly? They aren't wrong—there is definitely a more masculine energy to my frame these days🙂

Everyone keeps telling me it’s going to be a boy, too. 😂

There's an old saying that girls make their moms look ugly, while boys make them glow...
Out of my three pregnancies, I was actually pretty too during the first one... with my first, I dealt with hemorrhoids, and this time I'm breaking out in spots everywhere🙂
it's honestly pretty gross

I wear men's clothes, so I ended up getting some attention 😂 😂

I actually wrote a few pages about this before my aunt's mother-in-law even said anything.
My uncle: You're carrying a boy, aren't you?
Me: Yeah, it's a boy.
My uncle: Well, usually women glow more when they have boys, but you don't seem to be glowing at all.

🙂

Was she just trying to insult me, or does she honestly think she knows more than the doctor who confirmed the gender?🤷
