Wedding Woes

Secretly dreading today

My parents are in the process of closing on a condo here in Phoenix. They started driving down from Seattle on Wednesday and last night were in LA with my sister. They'll be here this afternoon and are staying with DH and I. I love my mom, but I can't live with her. A week on vacation is the extent. They will be living 45 minutes away from us, so that's good. Ever since I told her that I was pregnant, she constantly tells me that "being pregnant isn't an excuse to eat whatever you want". I am not feeling thin, especially since I balloon up slowly during the day. She told me that it was concerning that at 13 weeks I was wearing maternity pants and that I shouldn't gain too much weight. She was a L&D nurse for years so I think she thinks that gives her a free pass because she knows what she's talking about.I told DH that if she says one thing, I'll probably fly off on her. Extreme, yes. Can I help it? No. Juries always feel sorry for the fat pregnant woman who is teased by their evil mother.

    ugh, that sucks. You can kick her in the shins, though. That always makes me feel better!

    She would have gotten a junkpunch from me weeks ago.FTR? I moved to sweatpants at 6 weeks and, like, 3 days. It was like the stick turned pink and I exploded. And I was barfing up everything I managed to get in my mouth. If my mood keeps up this way, I'll fly down and junkpunch her for you.

    I've told her several times that I'm not stuffing my face constantly. She hasn't seen me since I told her, so I'm afraid something stupid will fall out of her mouth and I'll just cry. Thankfully, my dad is awesome.

    Should I c&p the gtg photo where there's a perfectly normal woman standing beside me? B/c there's no way in fresh hell you're gaining too much weight. FTR, I gained 36 lbs. in 40 weeks. It was fabulous.
