24w4d - What did you just say???

Hi all!

"Interesting" story that made me super mad...

DH and I were at a football game yesterday night, and our team was winning until the last play when the other team tied the game as time ran out. We sit in the same season-ticket seats every year, and kind of "know" the people around us. After the play, one of the older men in our area turns around to me and says, "This is HIS fault!" with a laugh and pointing towards my belly.

WHAT???

I said something dumb back to him about how my baby was screaming just like the rest of us for our team to block the play.

I can't tell you how protective/angry I felt that he would imply that my baby "cursed" the game. You would "blame" and unborn fetus even as a joke??? What is that about???

I know my hormones played a huge part in how I felt, and once I calmed down know that how I felt was an over-reaction, but don't ever say something like that about my child. It was the first time during the pregnancy that I felt like a lion protecting her cub. Don't you DARE ever say something like that about my little one.

I'm doing fine with it now, and know he just didn't realized that his "joke" was NOT funny, but was interesting to feel that kind of protective reaction about my little almost 25-week developing fetus.

Other than that, my "cankles" are doing okay after spending 9 hours at a football game, the left one has more swelling than the right. I'll put on some more kinesio tape to help it and keep them up when I can. I've also been very careful to stay away from salty items to not add to the problem.

Today, I'm sitting at home waiting for my possible employer to call me with an offer. I think the call should come before 11am, and am VERY excited at the possibility of working soon. I so want to be a financially contributing member of my household...oh yeah...and getting paid to do something I LOVE to do! Bonus!!!

That's it for now...thanks for letting me share my story.

xoxo Yo!
