"How are you feeling?" This is ok, but it is not ok when followed with a head tilt and an overly sympathetic tone. If I'm not doubled over in pain, just assume that I'm not in labor.
"Oh, still no baby?" This question can be asked in a variety of different ways. "Oh, you're still here (at work)" is virtually the same question. Again-the head tilt and tone makes it worse, but this one is pretty much never ok. Does it still look like I have a basketball under my shirt? Yes? Then, don't ask the F'ing question.
"Oh, you still have a ways to go." Just don't even talk to me.
"Enjoy your sleep now because you won't be getting any rest for months." Who's sleeping? I haven't slept more than 3 hours per night for the past two weeks. Might as well get the kid out of me so that I have a cute little bundle to love on while I'm not sleeping.
I know people are trying to be supportive, but when you hear the same comments 30+ times a day, it gets old. Yes, I know the kid could be here any day. Yes, I'm anxious. Yes, I'm hormonal. Yes, I'm exhausted. Ok? Ok. Sorry for the rant, but really.
Haha. My favorite is the "Oh, still no baby?" comment. That just seems ridiculous. Love you lots and you are so close to having that adorable baby in your arms!
