Why do I bother?

Being pregnant I think it opens up the world to think they can offer unwarranted opinions, advice and comments. Does a belly that sticks out scream..."hey, you over there, tell me that my butt is big because.....
I mean come on!!! Ok so my butt is getting big but I don't need the world to point it out. My favorite is...your butt is getting wide, so you must be having a girl. Does that comment about having a girl void out the fact that you just said my butt is big???
Or, oh you have a glow, you are so having a boy! Or just because my face is covered in frosting from hostess chocolate cupcakes does not mean I am carrying a girl,. Did it ever occur to people that I just like to be a pig and suck down two of those lovely cakes with a tall glass of milk with ice cubes?!?!?!?!!? Yes, another discussion...I like ice in my milk :-)
Old wives tales crack me up. I love the one where you pee in the toilet with Drano and that will tell you what you are having. Or if you have zits, you are carrying a girl...or if you want steak it is a boy. Love them!!!!
My other pet peeve is when people, especially family ask you what names you are thinking about and I tell them...I get the ole...oh that name, I dated a ***** and he was a jerk or I knew a **** and she was a tramp! Oh folks I don't care...but of course I listen to them and second guess myself. So with that in mind I will keep our names to ourselves...weird, trampy, or silly to ourselves and on the day my child is born, no one will say...oh that is a weird name, they will ohh and ahhh and say nice fit.
Being a little curious about the gender I did seek out the "opinion" of the Chinese lunar calendar. it was accurate with my son so I thought I would give it a whirl...well they are telling me boy. Great, I have no preference either way, but a healthy baby. But eating all this sweets have got to mean only one thing. I LOVE THEM!!!!!!
So my advice to the woman at the Disney store who thinks that I like a complete stranger rubbing my belly....um. lady, thanks for the nice comments but um, you are so in my personal space!!!!!

I left a very long comment earlier today and then it disappeared!!!!!!
I'll try one more time!

First of all,even though I haven't seen you since New Year's Eve,I doubt very much that your butt is big and/or wide. Anyone who says that is just a big fat moron who is looking to be a jerk. No one in their right mind would say such a thing!!

As for strangers rubbing your belly,rub their breast if it's a woman or their penis if it's a man.
No wait,a man would love that. I'll have to think of a different strategy.

Everyone knows not to talk about baby names just for the reason you said. There is always some idiot,drug dealer,back stabbing ex-best friend,cheating boyfriend,bitchy classmate or hated relative with the exact name you have picked out.

My name advice has always been the same:Name your child something that you love to say over and over and over again. You're the one who has to love it since YOU'RE the one who has to keep saying it.

Ok,now that I've said all that,I demand that you email me the names you have chosen....lol.
The only names I would say no to would be Cody and Spencer since that would just confuse the crap out of the dogs,although I like both names!

My final note is this:if it's a boy,name him after TC's real name. I dare anyone to say that they know someone with that name! I double dare them!!!!!!!

Oh ya,and as for ice in the milk. Although I am not a milk drinker,I totally believe that all cold beverages must be poured over a tall glass of ICE!

Big hugs to you and your butt.
