Have you heard the one about if you've got two fishing hook-shaped blood vessels under the iris of your right eye, you're having a girl, and if they're under the left iris it's a boy? I'm having a girl if that's true (that or a haddock

this made me

yes i have heard about the eye theory, i have them in both so i think that does mean girl. still convinced im having a boy though!

-Having to repeat myself to people who don't listen.

There is a woman at work who thinks it's her job to share my pregnancy symptoms. If I'm tired she's tired. I have round ligament pain, she has a funny pain in her side. I have a funny taste in my mouth, her coffee doesn't taste right. My trousers are too small, she's ever so bloated today. I honestly would like nothing better than to get a bat and beat the living shite out of her-maybe then she'll truely understand what pregnant feels like!!!

Oh I feel so much better for getting that off my chest. I wonder what she'll say tomorrow if I tell her about my increased vaginal discharge?

Oh my gosh! The exact same thing is happening to me. My manager who has never had kids before tries to compare my pregnancy to her menopause every day. I have had enough of her and can't wait to go on mat leave so I don't have to see her everyday. If I have hot flashes, she compares it to menopause. If I have a sore back, she compares it to menopause. She even says to me "see Kristen, pregnancy is alot like menopause." Yet she has never been pregnant, what does she know. That is my biggest pet peeve at the moment, and all the crazy drivers in my town. Running red lights and stop signs. The ones that kind of just stop on the road without a signal or actually pulling over to the side. I am trying to keep my swearing under control, don't want the little one to hear...hehe.

That all sounds decidedly work-orientated, and aimed at very specific individuals... am I right??

It does bother me how many armchair experts emerge about pregnancy. I've done nothing but read about pregnancy for the past four months, yet I've one friend who's never been pregnant, who just can't seem to acknowledge the fact that I know more than her about it.

I know!!! Ugh, it makes me so mad. I try so hard to ignore her. I think it is also the fact that she likes to always be the center of attention and now that I am pregnant, everyone pays attention to me. So she complains about her menopause so people will sympathize. I mean I am sure that dealing with menopause is tough, but WE WILL ALL go through it at one point in our lives!She's not the only woman dealing with it. Sorry....I get all riled up.

How did you guess? Just one individual.

^^^^^^ Lol!

No 287: People who make out something is SUCH a huge deal to them, to the point that you worry yourself sick on their behalf, then you discover that it can fall to the bottom of their priority list in seconds when something shiny distracts them (metaphorically speaking!) and you've wasted your energy for nothing.

No 288: being coeliac, especially when you're out and about in town and desperate for a semi-healthy snack/lunch... it's sushi or nothing, and if you can't find sushi you're f***ed.
