a place to put random discourses on life
Stay out of my bedroom....

What makes some people think that it is okay to start giving my husband and I unsolicited advice about sex?

I don't care if I am pregnant and overdue.....You DON'T need to start turning to my husband and suggesting that he "start doing his job". There is no need to wink and suggest a "little more time in the bedroom might help speed things along." I do know what got me into this situation and yes, I do know that that may help us get out of it. Thanks for the suggestion. Now go away.

What is it about being pregnant that suddenly gives people, including perfect strangers, the sudden urge to tell me I need more sex? I do know the fact that sex can help me go into labor...and I know the reasons why....thank you, thank you. But do you really have to try and embarass my husband? Why is it suddenly a competetion between every person in the room to look at him and demand "why is she still pregnant?" in the most personnal way possible?

I'm tired of being pregnant. I'm tired of telling people when I am standing two feet in front of them...."Yes, I AM still pregnant. Thanks for telling me. I may have never noticed if it wasn't for you."

I'm tired of people pointing out how little time my husband has left in the states. Yes, I do know that he is going back to Iraq. Yes, I realize that if we don't "hurry up", he may miss the birth of his daughter. Once again, thanks for letting me know the obvious.

I'm tired of my mother, my father, my siblings, my mother-in-law, my other in-laws, my coworkers and people from church calling me to see "how I am feeling". I am tired of answering the phone..."Hi, I am still pregnant." I want this to be over as soon as anyone else, but since I have given up any hope of having this baby anytime soon, please, please just quit pointing out the obvious and quit telling me to have sex. otherwise, I may just start telling you just how much sex I have been having.....in graphic detail. Do you think that would make you a little less intrusive next time?

I'll be praying for you, that when it happens, you will both be happy and healthy. And if you need anything, let me know.

Ah, the joys of late pregnancy when everyone thinks that they have an inherent right to touch your belly and ask about your sex life.  How I detested it!


It'll happen....and if I can be of any help either before or afterwards, please let me know!

Courage my dear! Soon all the pain and waiting will be replaced with the joy of seeing a new little one that will be an awesome replica of you and your husband. Keep your peace even while it is difficult to wait. My prayers are with you.
