It has recently come to my attention that once you are pregnant people forget that you are more than a container for a growing fetus. It is baffling. Conversations can only be about pregnancy and plans for the baby. God forbid we touch on real issues like global warming and swine flu. I would kill to talk about swine flu these days. Hell I would even get in a debate with Mitch over something absolutely mundane just to give my brain some mental exercise.
I guess the good thing is you can become completely stupid and out of touch with reality. All you have to do is answer the following questions:
How are you feeling?
Are you going to find out the sex?
Do you have names picked out?
When is your due date?
That's it. That's all it takes to be pregnant. Soon i am going to start wearing a plaque around my neck listing the answers to the questions above so I don't have to talk at all. I told my boss today that i enjoy coming to work even more than ever now because at least people will talk to me like a normal human being for 8 hours and not stare at me with a goofy grin and head tilt with the words "aaaawwwweeee, how sweet" oozing from their lips.
I am sure in a couple of months I will completely contradict myself, but as a pregnant person I think that is part of the norm! Heck, do you think it's too early to start parking in the "expecting mom" spot at the grocery store?????
