Pass Along Your Pet Peeves

It's weird. I know I'm not that far along, but so far I don't have any pet peeves this time around. This is my second pregnancy. With my first baby, everything made me mad. I actually hit my fiance twice and threw food at him once.lol. All somebody had to do was look at me the wrong way and I was ready to fight! This time I'm much more calm and relaxed. I just hope it lasts.

For the most part, people have been really nice to me, but sometimes I wish people would refrain from saying anything at all! "You're carrying high." "You're carrying low." "I bet you're having a girl." Well, yeah, I am, but there's also only two options. What the heck? The baby's right in the middle. Then, I've heard that I'm way to big to only be 29 weeks. "Are you sure its not twins?" Please don't tell a pregnant girl that she looks like she's carrying twins. Its just mean. As of right now, I have 11 weeks left and I have gained 26 lbs. My doctor doesn't think its so bad so why should all of these random people. Ive been told a hundred times that there's no way I'm gonna be able to carry full-term. Its very frustrating. I wish I could go into hiding until delivery!
As for the acne....I've had moderate acne for a long time, but I use a prescription called Benzamycin and its always worked great for me. The doctor has told me that it is safe to use during pregnancy and it even though I still had some break through acne at first, I haven't had any problems at all since the first three months.

I am working til I give birth and I am sort of a workaholic, I feel like that movie groundhogs day, everyday, I wake up and I am still pregnant and I work like a dog, stay up late doing work in case I give birth, and get up the next day and start all over again, you start wondering if youre really pregnant

I am about 5 weeks pregnant and I have all day sickness. It comes in waves. One minute I will be fien then the next I will be so nauseated I am running for the bathroom.

I'm only 11 weeks pregnant, but already I am noticing my pet peeves. My husband and I have another couple that won't leave...we told them they could stay here for a little while until they got all their stuff moved to their new house (which they have). But now they've been here for 7 months and won't leave...I can't even stand to see or hear the woman's voice but she thinks I'm her best friend...it's horrible. I'm about to blow....I want them out...plus, I need the extra room for the baby.

as soon as I finally get into a good position and start to fall asleep (which is not easy) I have to pee. Then Im thirsty and need a drink before I lay back down and then I get mad because all I can think of is "great! there's two more trips to the bathroom tonight just from two little sips of water!
