Observations.
Ever since becoming pregnant I anticipated my labor and delivery as I thought it would forever, at least until I conceive again, end the nagging questions such as, "When are you due?" "What are you having?" "How many months along are you?" "What are the names you've picked out". Oh how wrong I was.
With labor and delivery comes a new batch of annoyances; granted I will never grow tired of talking about my little boy, not even when he is not little any more, but these prepartum questions have been replaced with postpartum ones, "What is it?" "How long were you in labor?" "Did you do it naturally?" "Did you dilate on your own?" "Did you tear?"... All kinds of shit. I was guilty of all these before I actually experienced it. I think curiosity fuels an uneducated mind. Now, I have a much better understanding of what is not acceptable, but more well tolerated, to ask a new mother and what will likely piss her off on the inside as she hides her true feelings in a somewhat talented, mature manner.
I remember one pay day when I stop in Hannafords to get diapers and some other groceries; of course I have grown to tolerate any trip everywhere usually taking an additional 5-10 minutes longer as everyone in the world loves babies and must stop and talk to them along with making the most hideous faces that sometimes you really wish would freeze, a woman was asking the normal postpartum q's. She seemed nice. Not too nosy, not to invasive, but then she did the unthinkable. As we said our good byes and out seas separated she glanced at my stomach region. I seriously feel like she did so to almost check, no rather, clarify in her mind weather I was being truthful or not when she asked if I gained a lot of weight through out my pregnancy.
