And then he goes, "no! i mean, you're belly is big.... but.... you're filling out too! i mean, look at your face"........ ARGH!!!!! moron!!!!!!!!!!! if you got nothing nice and encouraging to say to a VERY pregnant woman which hormones raise from 0 to 100 in 2 seconds.... then shut the F up!!!! =S Why do people have to MAKE DAMN SURE, if you've put some poundage on, that you KNOW YOU ARE FAT????!?!?! i just don't get it. You can fart in their faces and they'll smiling, you can jump out a clif, you'll be good.... as soon as you get on with the pounds.... MAN! People just JUMP on you!!!! You know what? im F'ing TIRED of people telling dh: "oh, look at you! you are so fat"... he's not FAT!!! he's put on some weight since his scrawny days... yes, but fat?? no people, he's chunky, he's strong, and he's DAMN CUTE like that!! leave him alone!! i just wanna scream when i hear mean comments like that.....I came crying to dh… I said: "I just can't believe this is getting thru my skin!, im so happy Maddie is here! Im so happy I got a real woman's body and im making a little person… but his comment was very hurtful!!! =(", you know what my BELOVED husband said? "Vanessa, you're not fat, besides you look so cute with that belly,... and it wouldn't be healthy if you wouldn't put on weight! you are fine!" and he gave me a hug..... OMG! i just wanted to fly across the sky for him... i love that man, and he just made my day after that....., I also went to an interview and here i am (i feel like a horrible mother trying to hide my belly for fear of not being hired!!!) covering my 'midrif'... and when i stood up and was ready to leave the guy goes "so, when's your little bambino due?"... i said "mmmmmMay!"... but i hesitated!!!!! =( i shouldn't DO THAT!!! im also kinda down since my parents left.... the house is so empty now! lol... i know i was b*tching about my mom... but i DO miss them..... =( man!!! hormones cocktail anyone???!?!?! ;) Girls, thank you for letting me vent.... =') Now i feel eveytime i look at myself in the mirror i see a standing porkchop there...

What an A S S !

What happens to people's tact when they see a pregnant woman?!?

At the last place I worked, during my first pregnancy I got (repeatedly):

"You're as big as a HOUSE/COW"
"Wow.  You've finally got badunkadunk in your trunk!"
"Did your doctor say it was okay to gain that much weight?"

[Insert string of very profane words here.]

So far at my current job, people seem to be more polite.  Although I have heard "You're really showing for 5 months."

Ugh.

hehehe it's either that.... or that rendezvous night with hubby 7 months ago...........

actually i just received an email about the goodness of bananas! here it is:


> Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.
>
> Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.
>
> But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.
>
> Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.
>
> PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
>
> Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.
>
> Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.
>
> Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham ( Middlesex) school (England) were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
>
> Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
>
> Hangovers: One of the quickestways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, build s up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
>
> Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.
>
> Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.
>
> Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
>
> Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.
>
> Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.
>
> Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.
>
> Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a 'cooling' fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.
>
> Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.
>
> Smoking &Tobacco Use: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
>
> Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.
>
> Strokes: According to research in The New EnglandJournal of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!
>
> Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!
>
> So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, 'A banana a day keeps the doctor away!'
>



isn't that something?? I got the cravings for bananas BIG TIME since month 5!!! =P yum yum!!!! =)))

I have a wonderful group of women at work (SARCASM!!!) that feel they have to tell me how big my butt is getting every time I see them.  We had a meeting the other day and I had to squeeze by them to sit down and they're like, "watch the belly, and watch the butt too."  Then I sit and the one next to me goes, "you have a very Puerto Rican butt, did you know that?"  No!  I had no idea, thank you so much for telling me.  All this time with no mirrors in my house.  How did the Puerto Rican butt escape me? Some people are such idiots.  I feel like saying, you have a very ugly face, did you know that?  I don't care.  I'm ecstatic to be pregnant and soooo very very thankful.  I'm going to take it all one day at a time because I'm know I'm going to wake up one morning and my little one will be like 15 years old! Hang in there V~what goes around, comes around.

Nothing like you and me to hijack Missy V's post, huh?  Sorry Vane!  

I am okay, thanks for asking.  I lurk a little but not too much.  My daughter is doing well.  She has taken some time off and may be starting to think about trying again.  She thinks she will never get PG and carry to term, but who knows...  

I guess I am hopping back on the wagon and trying to figure out who is who and who is new.  

How far along are you?  How is the morning sickness?  

Again, sorry vanessa!  Hijack over!

I am absolutely sure you are gorgeous.  No way you could NOT be.  That a-hole would be lucky to have you, and your DH obviously feels the same way.  

What happened to the new job you just got?  Did I miss some stuff?  Why did your parents not come when the Maddiwoman is born?  

Sorry, outta the loop!

LOL!! aweeee!!!! I'm sorry you had a hard time at your OB's! it's just not that easy! I mean, even actresses put on some pounds! look at Salma Hayek, look at Hale Berry!... they look a little chunkier.... and SO WHAT!? nothing wrong with it.
Im planning on staying at home for maternity leave (about 4 to 6 weeks) and try to work it off with a borrowed threadmill, that way i don't spend more time away from Maddie in a gym, or bounce her around in her stroller while trying to jog out on the bumpy sidewalks! ;)
We are preggy! and our little ones are all what matters! =)

Thank you Meli! =)
Well, they were at work... my friends from my last job, the wife wasn't around... but yeah! that was a jerkish comment...., and overall! some people are like that!! They like to REMARK and RE-SCRUB it in your face you've gained weight!!! =S i've never been the skinny kind, but i'm not obese. I was always the chubby girl at school till i grew out of it when i was about 14 or so... so it's kinda hard to hear these kinds of things somewhat, since it brings me back to my chubby childhood... hehehe.... i know, DUMB!! so that's why i just decided i am chubby, but happy! and will do my best to look and feel good! ;) I think us preggies should be proud of our bodies no matter what!!! they are womanly bodies that WORK! don't you think?
