hello! i had an assignment in advanced visual media to create a podcast. it had to be 2-3 minutes, be narrated by me, include music and at least 20 images. well, i couldn't imagine doing something serious like a portfolio so I decided instead to do what I do best- be bitter and cynical- so I created: how to ruin a pregnant lady's day. Just know that I am not being serious- so if you have said any of these things to me, its OK, we're still friends. I have learned to have slightly thicker skin during this process- which is a great thing for me. So hopefully you'll enjoy it- it was pretty fun to make (except listening to my voice OVER and OVER- does anyone actually enjoy that?)
On Monday I am 31 weeks- 7.75 months pregnant. Its crazy to think that now she can come in a month and that would be OK. I feel so unprepared, but I think we are going to get that first crib pictured- it has come back in stock so that's good. Other than that, a totally uneventful week, even with the major candy holiday.

GUILTY!
Sorry, yo. I really just thought it was freaking cool that in my very inexperienced opinion your belly had grown significantly since the past pic we all saw of it. I thought maybe you'd be proud? :/
I'm just amazed that's all!
It's the miracle of life...
Thanks to your informative video, I will now try to remember that even if a woman has a big excuse (um, a baby) for being bigger, she still doesn't wanna hear about it.
i'll stop talking now...
hahah no seriously, its fine! remember my disclaimer before the video! don't feel guilty AT ALL! ahhh no apologizing was supposed to happen as a result of this video!
Ha ha ha! I LOVE this! I'm sorry to tell you that it only gets worse after the baby is out! Then you get to hear how complete strangers think you are a bad mom and lots of other snotty remarks. Gotta love that. I did a scrapbook page on the things that annoy me now that I'm a mom. Just a little more excitement for you to look forward to. :)
Those pictures were awesome. Some of those women were HUGE! You put in some shots of women with multiples, didn't you? I admit I was shocked you didn't slip one in of me and the twins--like on my way to deliver. Boy, was I huge. 72 pounds is hard to hide, trust me!
Anyway, that girl better not come in a month--too tiny! But I remember thinking at 36 weeks with each of my pregnancies that the baby could totally be fine if it showed up then. Wishful thinking.
Remember the time I was at walmart and the chain smoker dude behind me (buying more smokes) asked me "How's he ridin? Looks to be ridin low!" And he certainly was riding low, I delivered not long after, and used the many jumbo pads that I was at the checkstand buying. Not embarrassing at all!
yes, there was some multiple pregnancies in there...
is it so wrong to make myself feel better?
Hmm...I wonder if I've ever insulted a pregnant lady. One time I told Rayna when she was pregnant that she looked cute in her coat and she was like, ugh it's too small now and I think she said something about being too fat. So, I'm thinking that no matter what you say to pregnant ladies they will pretty much be offended haha.
PS Seth told me nic used one of my photos for photographics, that's really cool, which one was it?
haha Maddy- you are probably right. But Rayna was like the cutest pregnant lady ever.
he talked about your family pictures that you put on the society blog- they are so cute and everyone loved them.
I laughed so hard when I watched your homework assignment. That rocked me to the core! SO TRUE! Though I have to admit, I'm sure I've said at least one of those things to someone, probably someone I didn't like though, she probably gained far to less weight and it ticked me off. JK, Seriously, great job and you looke great! I'm so excited for you!
haha...good work! I think the worst is, when a woman has had the baby and you unkowinly proceed to ask when that baby is due?!! (maybe it's happened to me) But very FUNNY informative video. Rule Number ONLY ONE: just remember a pregnant lady is VERY fragile! Check!
You crack me up!
Ceci- yeah! i did that once to a lady who had just had triplets. she had the CUTEST little pregnant belly- so i told her that, and she looked and her husband and they both laughed and she said: this is my first time out of the house since having my babies and i told my husband that i still looked pregnant (she was SO skinny everywhere else) and he said: just wear this pretty broach and no one will notice!
yes, we're fragile and you'll find that out for yourself probably sooner than you think :)
ok so this isn't in response to your blog but is in response to the comment you left on mine. I agree with you about how fun it is to keep up with eachother via blogs since we never see anyone! I honestly try almost daily to talk Kjell into going to CO. Southwest airlines have these deals called Ding Fares and you have to download a program to get them but they will have a special like 79 each way from Oakland to Denver. The problem is we would have to by 3 tickets pay for parking in Oakland (about 10/day) not to mention the 3 hour drive each way and the cost of gas, which has gone down to 2.50/gal the lowest it's been here since I lived here. Also not many know this but we are in escro maybe to close on the 21st this month so things are going to be tight 4 a while. I would love to see everybody before we have to pay for 4 tickets in May when Chaz turns 2. We've talked about going to daphne's blessing but I would love to go when everyone can be together.
Oh I loved it. Good work!
Sometimes people can be so clueless.
Oh that was brilliant! I LOVED it. And Death Cab no less. Since I have to commiserate, here was my fave from Lady in my Ward:
"oh I remember being pregnant and going to the doctor when I was 7 months pregnant and seeing the scale go to 120 and I burst into tears".
This lady (who MAYBE weighs 90 pounds) STILL approaches me and makes comments about my weight. WHAT GIVES?!!! Yeah, I about decked her as I stood there hugely pregnant and definitely "over 120".
oh wow Adie- thats a good one.
that lady should def. be punched.
i wish i was 120 when I GOT pregnant, that would be nice now :)
