Yes - exactly you are confused. I'm not having issues with the lady at the grocery store asking me if I'm excited. My mother isn't alive so it's not her. It's friends, well meaning but emotionally absent friends. And no they're not "worried about me" as you rudely implied in your last post, I smile politely at their…

On the plus side, there were only 2 individuals responding to my post criticizing me for what I shared. One was especially vile telling me that I am possibly on course to be a "bad mother." I shudder to think what kind of person thinks that someone who is on the precipice of giving birth needs to hear such mental…

Who said anyone is worried? You really just aren't paying attention to anything I've said here... I don't know if you're a parent or just a busybody, but you're really out of line making assumptions here. The whole point, and here (again) my suggestion to you: opinionated stranger on the internet, don't tell people…

People can be happy about whatever they want but it's not healthy to tell other people how they are expected to feel ever. Think about it.

You're a trooper. And your honesty is really wonderful and refreshing for me to hear.

Yes, for 9+ months, constant, on demand excitement. That's what pregnancy is like. Go forth in the world with your realistic expectations of women.

you said: "But in the end, if things don't go the way you're hoping, remind yourself that it's one day in your life, and coming out of that day healthy with a healthy baby is the top priority."

see you just did it! you just did exactly what i said someone always does.

Yesterday was my due date. Still no baby. It's been a hell of an interesting experience being pregnant in our society. Highlights include not being catcalled on the street, not that I enjoy strangers commenting on my pregnancy (some people just can't resist speaking out about a woman's appearance) but not being street…

Wow Gwen Stefani is adorable. Viva la 90's.

aviva is a palindrome and means spring in hebrew. just go for it. pretend you never saw the show.

I don't get the dream hate. Dreams are like little allegorical puzzles and if you analyze them you can help people figure out the answers to some things that are puzzling them in their real life.

a "great feminist anthem" premiered today: First track, "Is It Annoying" http://music.nehedar.com/album/the-warm…

Really puts that cameo on Louie in perspective :( Also I might be the only one that loved "what dreams may come" but this will forever change that film's resonance.

Thanks, the 3rd trimester is really in full force and I feel like a whale with plantar fasciitis (new as of yesterday) so yes, it is nice to hear from someone on the other side (who can relate) that it will be cool. A lot of people act like it will be wonderful as an assumption and I appreciate the wisdom of your…

I don't think that's a given. I am 9 months pregnant now and my husband is the one who (really) wants the baby. Yes they went through some trouble to get it (don't we all, sigh) but that doesn't mean that she couldn't have been mainly doing something to please him.

• You sit on the outer sea with an empty seat beside you on the bus/streetcar/subway."

Can't an argument be made that it's physical abuse?

it's also rude. i'm 8 months pregnant now and publicly snarking my image shouldn't only be ok in this state.

Sigh, please let this just be another season of Carnivale.
