No, I have not yet had the baby.
Yes, I am tired of being pregnant now.
No, I am not having twins (thanks Dillard’s saleslady).
Yes, I do realize I have a BIG BELLY (thank you, nurse at my OB’s office). Your comment of “you can’t even tell you’re pregnant from behind” only partially made up for that remark.
No, I’ve actually lost 15 lbs since the beginning of the pregnancy.
Yes, my bags are as packed as they can be.
No, I don’t think you can ever feel prepared.
Yes, the new recliner did arrive, but I don’t think I’m going to get to sit in it.
No, we don’t think the J-man has a clue about any of this.
Yes, we think he’ll be a wonderful big brother once he realizes this “new baby thing” is here to stay.
NO, YOU MAY NOT TOUCH MY BELLY!

i’m a mommy on tbw, i’m serialmommy there (keeps things consistent in the chaos)…my oldest son is in “autism land” i guess you could say…he’s “high functioning” (i’ve always wondered what that meant anyway) and we are STILL working on a “formal” diagnosis and he’s 10….apparently high functioning means “less imperitive” or “focus on the behavior, screw everything else”…we started homeschooling this year…i’m pregnant with twins (so at least i can use that “excuse” for how big i am) and due in august…my youngst son is non verbal, though autism (or any part of the spectrum) has not been suggested by anyone (he had seizures at birth and was put on VERY heavy meds to prevent them as he would stop breathing when he had them, and the docs currently feel his speech delay is still a carry over of the 1st year being spent as the waking comatose basically), we do use signing time and a lot of basic sign to get izzy to communicate with us…this first post that i read strikes me so true and humorous at the same time because i have found myself saying MANY of these things!
That is AWESOME!
I love it when people say that they cannot tell I am PG from behind, though. It means my butt is nowhere near as large as I sometimes feel it is… small consolation (would you like some of the oatmeal cookies I am chowing on?
)
I don’t mind belly rubs, though, but prefer to be asked first… no surprise fondling of my belly allowed, thank you!
