Last night Hubby got a finger wag–the full-on, arm-extended finger wag, complete with my tilted head and pursed lips. He was in the living room playing a Hot Wheels video game with G when I came in from the kitchen with two cheese sticks. He was a bit surprised. “You’re going to eat those now? Dinner is soon.”
True, I did have dinner cooking on the stove, BUT I AM WITH CHILD. And you never ask a pregnant girl why she is eating, or if she really wants to eat again, or anything at all related to food. You think he would know this, as he has been through two pregnancies with me.
So I looked at him and wagged my finger and said “I am hungry.” And that’s all that needed to be said.

I am STILL sensitive to certain people’s comments about how much I ate and gained during my pregnancy. And that was over 4 years ago! I hope you enjoyed those cheese sticks! : )
Oh yes, that is one of the rules all men need to learn. Life really is so simple for them: learn to aim in the bathroom, no that doesn’t make you look fat, and when she’s preggo anything goes.
You go girl! Sometimes we just have to gently
remind them to be more compassionate to us when we’re pregnant.
This ranks right up there (or is it down?) with Hubby’s observation during your first pregnancy “Honey, your feet look like blocks of pudge”.
