Things NOT to say to a pregnant women.

I admit-I have been an emotional roller coaster for months: thanks to the pregnancy and other things but mostly because of all the extra hormones.  I take comments too seriously at times-I take things way too personal-and I will either cry or scream if what I hear "upsets" me.  Over the last couple of weeks I've decided that there are a few things that people (mainly those of the male species) should not say to a women in my current (pregnant) condition. And NO--my husband wasn't the one that said all of them to me. 

 I'm going to share a few of them:

*"Wow-you really look tired."
       Really?! I had know idea.  Did looking like I just exited a boxing ring give you that clue? I thought bags under your eyes and pitch black circles were the new fashion statement.

*"Did you just pop the button on your coat?  Maybe you should wear a bigger coat."
      Grrrrrrrr----yes-let me get my "fat" coat out of storage.

*"Why are you so moody?"
    Hmmmmm--I wonder??? 

*"Did you know that you cry a lot, especially when you're tired?"
    Nope-I hadn't noticed.

*"Are you really going to eat all of that?"
   Yes I am!!!  Gotta make sure I fill up my fat coat.

*"Oh---I thought you guys were done having kids."
   As you can see by the belly--you thought wrong.

* "How can you be tired?"
   Seriously???

And one of my "favorites"

*"Wow-I couldn't get to sleep last night, I just couldn't get comfortable."
    I didn't even bother with a response on this one.
