Last night, Jayden decided that Daddy needed his teeth brushed too.
Young And Pregnant. Let The Rudeness Begin.
February 21, 2010 27 Comments
Note: I’m not pregnant, sorry for the confusion! This post is about the pregnancy with our 22 month old.
Seeing those two pink lines instantly appear on the two pregnancy tests I took? Best thing ever. Calling Greg up while he was in class taking a test? Best thing ever. But when Greg and I announced our pregnancy with Jayden, we got some pretty rude comments. The general rule for replying to a pregnancy announcement is saying “Congratulations” or expressing some sort of happiness, no ifs, ands, or buts. These people obviously didn’t get the memo.
Greg: Sheena’s pregnant!
Anonymous: So what are you gonna do?
Me: I’m pregnant!
Anonymous: You know my sister doesn’t have it easy. (“it” referring to parenthood)
And now for the gem.
Warning: I don’t make a habit of cursing (often) on my blog. It’s offensive and unprofessional, but the convo would not be the same if I took them out. I asterisked the F and S bombs at least, happy?
Me: I’m in love and pregnant.
Anonymous: whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat daaaaammm. nooooo sheena.. what the f*ck. watttt. thhhhheeee f*ckkkk..well congradulationsMe: Well damn, THANK YOU!
Anonymous: daaaammmmmm, how do u feel. are u happy,sad?
Me: Errr…happy, why would I not want my own child?
Anonymous: no. of course not goofy. i mean ur in school (college) and everything, don’t want to give u any bad news but life is going to get hard with greg jr. on the way.. awww yall got a little family now
Me: No sh*t, lol. I’m not in school (college) anymore and I’m working at home, so I’ll be a work at home mommy.
What are some rude things that have been said to you after announcing your pregnancy?

Nowali Mocs Rock The Socks

Winner Announcement: Beth C
Colorful socks. Cute slippers. I just have to have them. So it’s only natural that I dress my little guy in such adorable accessories. Nowali offered to send us a pair of their Swedish moccasins. They fit snug like socks, but they have non-skid slipper bottoms. Let me confess, Jayden isn’t a fan of socks. He snatches them off every chance that he gets, but for some reason, he did not dismiss his froggie moccasins. Could it be because they are visually stimulating? I think so!
Usually, he’ll snatch off his socks to scratch his feet, leaving them behind on the floor. Well, when I replaced his socks with his moccasins, he DID take them off. He let me rub some eczema ointment on his feet and THEN he went to retrieve the moccasins. He ASKED me (in toddlerspeak) to put them back on. I thought to myself, “Whaaat, since when do you want to put your socks back on? Oh wait, these aren’t your everyday white socks with grey heels…” But just like your everyday plain white socks, Nowali moccasins are machine washable. Can you believe that? These mocs definitely rock the socks.
Nowali is introducing four new moccasin styles in time for Spring. Winter may be making an exit, but the tootsies can still catch a draft all year ’round. Check out Jayden in his froggie moccasins. Don’t tell him he’s not cool.
Price: $26.95

Greenworthy Stats: Hand-stitched, made of yarn and foxing materials that are free from harmful dyes or substances.
