OKAY.

OKAY. THIS POST IS GOING TO BE CHUCKED FULL OF MY PERSONAL OPINIONS. AFTER ALL, ITS MY BLOG, WHY CAN I NOT VOICE MY OWN OPINION? WHERE TO BEGIN. OH, YES. HERE.

I BELIEVE THAT BABY NAMES ARE SOMETHING PERSONAL. THEY ARE YOUR CREATIVE WAY OF EXPRESSING YOURSELF THROUGH YOUR CHILD AND TRYING TO GIVE THEM A NAME THAT WILL HELP THEM EXPRESS THEMSELVES AND BECOME THEIR OWN PERSON. IT IS WHAT THEY WILL BE KNOWN BY HERE ON THIS EARTH AND IN THEIR LIFETIME. HOW THEY WILL BE REFERRED TO BY FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND LOVED ONES. | AND MOST OF ALL, ME WHEN THEY ARE IN TROUBLE. TEEHEE | BUT WHEN SOMEONE FINDS OUT WHAT NAME YOU HAVE CHOSEN AND THEY COME OUT WITH "I DON'T LIKE IT." OR THEY TRY TO RUIN IT SOMEHOW FOR YOU, THAT'S JUST NOT NICE. WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO PEOPLE BEING NICE TO ONE ANOTHER? OR EXCITED FOR ONE ANOTHER?

WHICH BRINGS ME TO RANT #2. PAHAHA. I HAVE BEEN TOLD A MILLION TIMES AND HAVE LEARNED THAT EVERY PREGNANCY IS DIFFERENT, ESPECIALLY IN THE ASPECT OF THE MOTHER! JUST BECAUSE YOUR MOM WENT THROUGH SOMETHING, OR YOUR SISTER WAS SICK OR GOT STRETCH-MARKS DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN THAT I, MYSELF, WILL BE SICK OR GET STRETCH-MARKS. I'VE RECEIVED NUMEROUS COMMENTS ABOUT EVERYTHING UNDER THE MOON:
Q: ARE YOU GOING TO DRUG YOUR BABY OR HAVE IT NATURALLY?
A: I AM GETTING AN EPIDURAL. YOU'D BETTER FREAKING BELIEVE THAT! HAVE YOU NOT SEEN MY GIANT HUSBAND??
Q: ARE YOU PLANNING ON HAVING YOUR NEWBORN GET SHOTS?
A: I AM.
Q: YOU ARE PROBABLY GOING TO NEED A C-SECTION, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT? | AND NO, THIS IS NOT MY DOCTOR SAYING THIS, SO IT IS NOT A NECESSITY AS OF NOW |
A: IF THAT IS THE WAY HE HAS TO GET OUT, IT IS THE WAY HE HAS TO GET OUT. I WOULDN'T CHOOSE IT OVER A V-BIRTH, BUT WHATEVER IS NECESSARY TO MY HEALTH AND THE BABY'S HEALTH.
Q: OH, YOU THINK YOU'RE IN PAIN? MY BABY WAS MUCH BIGGER THAN THAT AND BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH....
A: OKAY... GOOD FOR YOU. WANT A COOKIE?

THIS IS WHERE MY INNER MEAN GIRL COMES OUT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE... I AM 5'3" AND I HAVE A SMALL FRAME. GAINING BABY WEIGHT AND HAVING A TORPEDO SHOOT OUT FROM MY BELLY HAS BEEN PHYSICALLY EXHAUSTING. I HAVE NARROW HIPS AND A SMALL/SHORT TORSO, THAT'S JUST THE WAY I WAS BUILT. OBVIOUSLY SOMEONE BUILT DIFFERENTLY THAN I AM, WILL GROW DIFFERENTLY THAN I DO. DUH. I CONSTANTLY HEAR THE "OH GIRL, YOU THINK YOU'RE BIG? I WAS MUCH LARGER THAN YOU ARE!" OKAY THAT'S AWESOME. OR EVEN, GOOD FOR YOU. THIS ISN'T A CONTEST AND IT'S STARTING TO DRIVE ME ABSOLUTELY BONKERS.

ANOTHER REASON NUG'S BLOG IS PRIVATE. I CAN COME HERE, EXPRESS MY HAPPINESS AND BE COMPARED TO NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON. I WELCOME ADVICE. I WELCOME YOUR THOUGHTS AND YOUR OPINIONS BUT WHEN YOU JUST COMPARE AND COMPARE AND COMPARE, YOU CAN KEEP IT TO YOURSELF, PLEASE & THANK YOU. THIS RANT IS NOT POSED TO ANY FRIENDS OR FAMILY MEMBERS, ITS ALWAYS THOSE RANDOMS... DAMN YOU, RANDOMS.
