Back-handed compliments...
I thought I might not be the only person to have been given a back-handed compliment since getting up the duff, and thought we might like to share. My fave from DH last night:
Flush: I'm so tired. And I look awful
DH: You look pretty! So pretty I could kiss you.
Flush: Oh thank you, that's so sweet!
DH: I mean, especially compared to dinner time. You looked awful then. But now your face isn't pale green you look so pretty by comparison.
Flush: Hmmmm.....
Anyone else experiencing something similar?

I think we should punish them when we go into labour... that'll teach 'em!!!
I'm planning my revenge now....mwahahaha
Well I am really!
Also, I have, ahem, two tummies (you know what I mean!!!) and he keeps pretending the 'top' tummy is where Angus is, 'cos its slightly bigger than the 'lower' tummy!!!
He's generally ok though!
I feel so mean most of the time - I get home from work and flop on the sofa and just nap! Then when he gets home, he wants dinner, and although he never says I 'should' - I always feel like I should start dinner. I can't be arsed. Cooking smells, ick. Raw meat, ick. Food in general, ick!
So I forgive him for the odd comment 'cos he's being a superstar Daddy to be all of the time.

"If you reverse you'll start to beep"
"You're supposed to look like a whale, you're pregnant!"
Isn't he just the most loving person ever
Am so tired all the time at the moment, and am massive with baby bump ( but he still seems to expect dinner and tea ready when he gets home - this morning i told him i didnt mind doing that, but i was tired most of the time and that i dint need to find the dishes by the sink the morning after, especially when we have a dishwasher (he tried to make it backfire with well yours are there too, to which ireplied whats the point in me putting everything in the dishwasher for you......?)
I was in a shop the other day, and the assistant, probaly trying to be nice (I hope) said you musnt have long left to go now.....
I'm only just 4 months pregnant!!
I do look horrendously huge though. And its all baby because I'm losing weight... (got a massive, worrying surprise last night when i weighed in at a stone less than when i got preg, and i've not had much sickness, just struggling to eat...)
If i say I feel like sh!t, he will reply well you dont look much better yet either
Oh, and I'm not allowed to lie on 'his' couch until I'm too fat for the chair.... ? I guess that in a way is a compliment as hes saying i'm not fat.....?

Bless him, he actually thinks thats a nice thing to say!

my lovely younger sister said to me when i was 20weeks 'you just look really bloated,like you have eaten to many pies!'
then last week 'oh my your huge!'
mother in law said to me the other night 'goodnight fatty'
Allso oh said the other day 'oh your huge,you look funny from the back your all slim and you dont look pregnant then you turn round and woooo,your huge!'
have to admit i havent got upset about it,i think its quite funny.though i dont know if anyone else has noticed but when people talk to me they stare at my bump,i feel like waving and saying 'hellloooo im up here':\)
my partner likes to say 'your such a beautiful mamouth'
mamouth i aint that bloody big am i ?
dont worry though ladies im planning my revenge
my OH hasn't given me any untoward comments yet.... we shall see i'm sure they'll start coming thick and fast once i have a good sized bump
actually i've just remembered when i was 12+5 the gp cldn't find peanut's heartbeat with his doppler, and OH said maybe that was due to my extra padding! hehe to which my gp replied "look who's talking" lmao i was "thx mr doctor" haha completely backfired on OH as he is of the cuddly variety too hehe

Also i am sick of the comments from friends "oh - you're looking really well......dont put on too much weight though, you'll regret it blah blah blah"! Its making me feel shit! Im nearly 20 weeks and can still fit into pre preg jeans ( size 18 admittedly) but that shows i havent put on weight anywhere but belly. Why cant people just be accepting and say "good on ya - why not have a nother sausage sandwich!!". Ive got loadsa time to join slimming world after the birth. Humph. Sorry to lower the jovial tone! lol!! xxx
