I am so tired of having to lie to people and answering their questions about my pregnancy and the baby with a smile. It's only 1:45 PM and I've already have had to have more than 5 conversations with random people either at work or on the Metro about when my due date is, if it's a boy or a girl, and how excited I must be. It's frustrating and annoying. But what am I going to do, tell random people in an elevator that I'm due in 4 weeks, but my baby is sick and probably won't live, so no, I'm not that excited.
I made the mistake once and told the lady in the fax room that my baby was sick because she kept pressing me and pressing me for more answers and I was always faxing medical records request forms. She just looked at me like I had two heads, smiled, and didn't say another word.
Just one more reason why I just want to stay home and avoid people all together.
Aww Linds, I know there are no words I can say to make you feel better but just know that I'm always thinking of you and your family and if you want to avoid people on the metro you can always carpool with me at 7am :) All my love, Colleen
ReplyDeleteHang in there sweetie. XOXO
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers are with you and your family! Love, Meredith
ReplyDeleteMy friend always had a hard time with that too. She would sometimes tell people depending on how much time she had - or how hard they were pressing. Most had the reaction of your fax lady. After is even harder unfortunately... when people ask how many kids you have or when you and Bill plan on starting your family... :(
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through Danielle Hobbs and your beautiful maternity pictures. I wanted to let you know that I will be praying for you and for God's healing hands to work on Stephen. I hope you have a Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a really difficult position to be put in. One that I'm sure, no matter how much you've prepared, you still dread hearing the questions.
ReplyDeletePeace to you, Momma.
