I'm On A Roll

For some reason I've been inspired this week.  I can't explain it, but I've been getting more ideas for my blog than I usually do recently, so I've been posting them.  A few weeks ago, I had a great idea for a post but I decided to save it for later in the week because I just completed one the day before.  Needless to say, I completely forgot what I was going to write....and haven't remembered it since.  (I'm convinced that it would've been my blogging masterpiece.)

Here is a list (not comprehensive at all) of things never to say/ask a pregnant woman.  A few of these have been told/asked to Em, but she has a pretty good sense of humor about these things.  She just comes home and tells me about it so both of us can laugh at what people will say.

Feel free to add your own in the comments section.

-Is it twins?

-You still have 2 months left?!?!

-You’re so lucky that you’re carrying it all up front.

-You look like you’re ready to burst!

-Ooooh, look! You have (insert pregnancy ailment).

-Wow!  You sure were hungry.

-Do twins run in your family?

-I know the producer of “The Biggest Loser”.  I’ll put you in touch.

-Can I touch it?  (Although that is slightly more acceptable than just groping a belly.)

-Is it mine?

-Were you trying or was it a surprise?

-My epidural didn’t work.  I was cut open from here to here.

-Now you’ll know what you put me through.  (For the record, Nancy did not say this to Em.)

-You’re naming her Gertie?  I had a friend named Gertie…..she’s an ex-con.

-How much weight have you gained?

-Oh!  You have more zits than usual….you must be having a girl.

-How long were you guys trying?

Hope you enjoyed them.  (And here is a picture of a large pregnant belly....so you won't confuse Em's belly as "large".)  ;o)
