FAQs and Other Crap I'm Sick of Dealing With

1. Due date is November 23. Order may be delayed due to imprecise dating methods, first-time jitters, or congenital tardiness inherited from both parents.

2. No, we don't know what gender it is, and at this point in history it shouldn't make a damn bit of difference. So STOP ASKING.

3. No, we don't have a name picked out yet. The naming office is not accepting any additional submissions at this time.

4. Just because I'm eagerly awaiting the birth of my own child doesn't mean I'm interested in hearing about / seeing pictures of / making stupid noises at someone else's, particularly if I don't know them and I've got work to do.

5. Just because my body is currently slightly preoccupied with growing another human being doesn't mean I'm incapable of carrying on a conversation about some other topic.

6. If you don't know me, don't even think about touching my belly if you want to keep that hand.

7. The Alien reference was funny the first half-dozen times. Now? Not so much.

8. Thank you - I wouldn't have noticed I was "as big as a house" unless you pointed it out. Placenta brain, you know. And no, it's not twins. I think the ultrasound would have picked that up pretty early.

If you would like an enforcer to follow you around and assist in kicking the shit out of people who irritate you along these lines, do let me know. :)

given the crowd around these here parts, that may have the opposite effect.

Boy, I sure can't wait for your little boy... or is it girl... to be born. What's the due date, again? I guess you don't have a lot of time to think up a name, so you probably want help. I think "Poseidon Cuc" is nice, don't you?
Have you been to allbabypics.com? My goodness, but there are some adorable children there. Do you think yours will be as adorable? Do you worry that maybe he or she won't be? Parenthood must be stressful, with all the worrying about names and gender and adorableness. I'm sure it's all you can think about.
Anyway, consider this a virtual pat on the belly... unless you've got an ALIEN in there, because that would be dangerous. Hahaha. I kill me. But it must be TWIN aliens, because you're sure getting pretty big. Are you sure you've just got one kid in there? People have been surprised before...

G-, who is a three hour drive away and is pretty sure you won't squeeze in behind a steering wheel and spend that much time away from a bathroom just to murder her

C: For you... December 2

T: The offer is appreciated, but I think I'm plenty scary enough. You can get away with a lot when people suspect you're a hormone-addled psycho who wants ice cream RIGHT FRAGGING NOW.

G: Don't tempt me, biatch.
