Questions, questions, questions

Excuse me as I sneeze...achoo, sorry darn allergies.

So I have told my family and a few close friends before posting it here, and since posting and telling friends I get the usual congrats and usually followed up with a question or two. Of course I am excited about the little baby growing inside and so is hubby, but every now and then I get a question, where I want to answer sarcastically sooooooo bad. So I figured why not share some of the questions and my thoughts and answers here.

1. How far along are you? Currently 11 weeks, the baby is the size of a lime. So remember that when you order your margarita.

2. How are you feeling? I am feeling ok? Excited? In my head I really want to say, "I am excited and enjoy every moment of silent burps and flatulence that happens. Oh and the morning sickness, out of this world!"

3. Are you having morning sickness? Not really, a little nauseous here and there, but nothing major. (In all honestly, this is true, but why would someone want to know if they are having an exorcism or not? So they can help and get a priest? I had what I call an exorcism once one crazy girl's weekend, and I hated it. So why is morning sickness exciting news?)

4. Do you know what you are having yet? I really say, "Oh no, not yet. In just a few months" In reality I am thinking, I am 11 weeks! The baby is barely over an inch, so if you can see through my baby's soul and find out, go right on ahead, this should be fun. It's more fun to predict via wives tales.

5. How did your parents react? "They are ecstatic, very excited to be grand parents." All I will say about this is that my mom nearly knocked my dad out of his recliner to tackle me out of pure happiness.

6. How does it feel?  It feels fine...the baby just stopped looking like a tad pole, so there is no kick yet if that is what you mean.

7. How are you feeling? Again, I get this a lot.

8. Is Hubby excited? What was his reaction? Hubby is very excited. I don't think people want to hear how even though guys get over the moon and can't wait, 85% of men freak out but the girl never knows. Did Hubby freak out, you will never know...

9. Is Ollie excited about being a big brother? Ollie just thinks Mom is getting a little bigger. Seriously? Yes my puppy is doing back flips that a little human will soon be riding him like a horse. Ollie does back flips just to get a jerky bite. I do predict him to be very protective.

10. What are your cravings? What do you want it to be?It's different week to week and they are not crazy. Just fruit here, beans here, and cheese and I are in an off and on again relationship. Does everyone think we crave pickles and ice cream?

I was just reflecting on how the past couple of weeks I get all these questions, both from people that have been or have never been pregnant. And it just gets me how some of them don't make sense to me to ask when things are to early or what not. I am probably going to be that pregnant woman that makes people feel awkward if they just rub my belly with out my permission. Just because I am that sarcastically mean. So just a heads up, if you rub my belly with out clearing it with me, I will rub your belly too. It would be my luck if you are a hot model with rock hard abs.

In all honesty, I am very excited. Hormonal, but excited. Being sick with sinus issues is not helping a whole lot with the nausea, but God Bless Hubby. He has been so patient and spoils me rotten. I thank God every day for sending me this man, preggo or not. Hopefully once I finish my first trimester the hormones and the weather will clear up for me to have a normal pregnancy. Thanks for all the well wishes and love, we appreciate it. As always, Live, Laugh and Love.
