I was actually THERE when Rita was on the receiving end of the "boob" comment. Rita, you had such an "I cannot believe she said that" look on your face. Kisses and hugs to Iva/Darby.

You don't pour all that stuff on a first-time pregnant mom!! Where's the filter people??!!<BR/><BR/>Also, being well into your pregnancy in the summer is not bad, if you like the summer! I actually loved being pregnant in the summer! Flip flops, tank tops, swimming...I loved it.<BR/><BR/>I think both of your names are very lovely!Kelly Viahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11798253835828689334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733307244927080610.post-72237299830761328422009-04-02T13:48:00.000-05:002009-04-02T13:48:00.000-05:00I've had so many people tell me I'm crazy for havi...I've had so many people tell me I'm crazy for having a summer baby. I'm sorry, but who am I to tell God when to create my baby?! <BR/><BR/>And besides - summer babies get the best birthday parties. :)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472828825192990404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733307244927080610.post-48495100077955946402009-04-02T12:45:00.000-05:002009-04-02T12:45:00.000-05:00It's just amazing the things people will say to a ...It's just amazing the things people will say to a pregnant woman. As if she is no longer that same woman, she is now just something walking around with a baby in her belly. I don't know what it is about that that gives people the right to say ANYTHING and everything. I mean, would you walk up to a regular fat person (no baby) and make comments about the way they eat or the choices they're making or how hot they're going to be in the summer? What gives? People are RUDE!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I love the names you chose for your baby! They are so unique and special! I agree - your baby is going to BE somebody! With parents like you two + that name, they won't have any choice ;-)Mandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17600262045236960618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733307244927080610.post-48027879177910493572009-04-02T12:39:00.000-05:002009-04-02T12:39:00.000-05:00rita i love the names!! they really are great, an...rita i love the names!! they really are great, and i can't wait out find out which name it'll be!<BR/><BR/>and posts like this really help us non-preggy people, because - while i've never said things so extreme - i'm sure i've said some things that came across in ways i didn't mean them. so tips are always nice!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10684953568890752162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733307244927080610.post-16177906398045005392009-04-02T12:13:00.000-05:002009-04-02T12:13:00.000-05:00Rita - you are awesome.

It's happened to a number of my friends and I'm like...hey, personal space! <BR/><BR/>I also love both of those names, but I am prejudice, because, well IvaLee was awesome and she was part of the great Bishop family, and "Wee Polk" will be part of us too!

"Yeah, next time I'll tell the husband we can't share the marriage bed from the months of August to January"?<BR/><BR/>Also, and I'll again attribute this to being a dude, I didn't realize having a baby was a tithe or offering to your parents for their raising you.<BR/><BR/>And I'm a bit weirded out by how freely women talk about boobs. It's worse than being in a high school locker room after gym class.<BR/><BR/>In other news, I think both names are lovely, and I think your kid is going to be awesome, because you and Kyle are awesome.
