You want to have an epidural? That isnt really good for your baby you know....
SHUT UP

[eighmelin]

oh, everyone knows. those are really good. i haven't gotten to a point where people say that to me. i'm sure i will and i'll have to revamp my list to include comments about breastfeeding, diapering choices, and then there are the inappropriate post delivery questions...

[piv_]

my favorite conversation (yes, cuz we expecting fathers get questions too) was always...

Q "so are you gonna find out the sex?"
A "Yes, we are"

Q "well don't you want to be surprised?"
A "we will either be surprised at 20 weeks or 40 weeks...what's the difference?" (not that the result of a coin-flip can ever really be classified as a "surprise")

[eighmelin]

i'm with you. except in your case, wouldn't be it 20 weeks or 35 weeks??
