I get it now... the world does not revolve around me!
Yesterday after my doctor's appointment I found myself very sensitive to a few different things. Picture this:
Scenario #1:
Man tries to cut in line at Aldi's as I am waiting to check out. My first response (which I didn't say out loud thankfully!)
"H E L L O! Can't you see that I am pregnant and about to give birth VERY soon??? Geesh!" (And now that I think about it, I had my winter coat on, he probably didn't even know I was pregnant!)
Scenario #2:
Driving home from the grocery store. EVERYONE was speeding and in a hurry! I was driving home with both hands on the wheel and found myself muttering...ok, wanting to yell, "WOMAN WITH CHILD HERE!!" They didn't slow down... in fact, no one seemed to care.
Again, for those of you not prego, you probably think I am nuts and are laughing right now. That is fine. I am sure I would be to if I was in your place. For those of you who have carried a child and were about to bring it into the world, did you ever have thoughts like this? I am actually quite amused at myself and can't believe I am thinking things like this.... and yet the other half of me is justifying my thoughts.... Praise the Lord for hormones!
Hmmm.

Serious! (To both Ambre & Leah's comments!) When I was pregnant with Miriam, and past my due date, Jeremiah was sick and I wanted to get him in RIGHT THEN for a doctor appointment because, you know, I was gonna pop any minute. I was completely put off by the fact that my telling them that info did not change their schedule to bend to my will and open up a slot right then and there. Needless to say, we had to wait till the next day and Miriam was super-de-duper late so it didn't matter anyway... but the principle! :)! Now is the time Leah to stick out the belly for all it is worth I guess, :)!

I remember feeling that, but even more so the first time I drive with Jake in the car. I felt almost drunk, I was SO cautious of EVERYTHING and EVERYONE! "Come on people, move aside, I'm carrying precious cargo here!"
