Okay... so do I have a little radar on me that lets people think that it's okay to be watching every little thing I put in my mouth? Do I have an advertisement on me that says "hey, if you think I'm not eating something I'm supposed to, would you stop me and question me?" I don't think I do... maybe it's the helplessness that I exude and the child like appearance I have as a 5 ft almost 29 year old PREGNANT woman??? Not sure. TWICE today people have questioned what I was eating. Coworkers at that- whom I really do love... really! But come on- I have gotten control over the Diabetes, I know what will spike my blood sugars and how much of it will as well. So, eating two Tootsie Rolls will not make my blood sugar go out of control. Brownies on the other hand, will- do I eat those? No, as much as I desire and crave them, I don't. I have a little guide for fast food restaurants that tell me what I can eat at them, and fancy that- I can have an 8 piece nugget from Chick-fil-a if I want!!! EVEN A SANDWICH! *gasp!* So, when I'm asked "Is that bag of Chick-Fil-a yours?" and heaven forbid I react to it or defend myself- I get the "Whoa!!! Watch out! She's pregnant...don't mess with her!" crap. Their excuse is, we're just watching out for you! Thank you, really but again, does something about me say that I'm incapable of watching out for myself? Do I seem like I’m an out of control eater? Does the fact the doctor told me to take my blood sugar screening down to ONCE a day mean anything? Okay. I'm done.
So, I want to go to our Ward Temple day this Saturday. What do you think? Safe? I mean, I know I'm still 3 weeks away- but he's dropped already. And I'm having a lot of tightening and cramping... what if I went into labor at the temple? Cool? I guess... more embarassing than anything I think. I have a doc's appt on Friday morning, hopefully we can see if there's anything to worry about (or get excited about). We also are having a baby shower that night thanks to our loverly Ashley and my mother in-law. It's going to be fun, all the boys are coming too and we're lovingly calling it a "Baby BBQ"! Cute huh!? So I hope we can make it until then. I think we will... even though I'd be okay if he decided to come TONIGHT. Sorry mom... I want you here, but I just want him out. :)
Okay, I'm going home now. Yay for traffic.

I love how as soon as you are showing you are pregnant you are either incompetent as a female and you have some how lost all brain cells or everyone smiles oh so sweetly at you and touches your stomach like they know you. if it were me and I was you i would start carrying around a bag of candy at all times. and occasionally put your hand into it as someone walks by. Can you tell how well I'm doing with this pregnancy..lol. I hope you can make it to the temple one last time before you have your little one.
People were totally like that when I was pregnant. Oh, wait. I'm a dude. Huh... That was a weird nine months.
Well, I'm totally looking forward to the Baby BBQ anyways!
Gah, I was a week overdue and my MIL insisted we go to the temple (we were in brasil, remember?) I gave birth the next day... it makes me crazy just thinking about it!!
Ok...believe it or not, my sister-in-law, Dani, and I have had this conversation. Not about your tootsie roll consumption, but about going into labor in the temple, because lets be honest people, lots of preggos in UT. And we decided that there are few places in the world that would be as accomidating to someone in that situation than the inside of the temple. All the little old women that work there would be super doting an caring...it wouldn't be all bad.
Yeah, what a great story to tell your little guy about the day your water broke in the temple! I say go for it!
P.S. The unsolicited advice just takes on a whole new level of crazy when you actually have the kid. Ugh! People you didn't even know you knew will give you their 2 cents on everything from circumcision to breast feeding to installing the car seat. And no matter what you're doing... it's wrong.! Comforting, eh? I say just start barking at them like a dog as soon as they start "looking out for you". That'll shut them up!
