I'm more pregnant than youuuuu... long!

Ugh, okay let the rant begin!

So there is this girl, she's exactly 13 weeks behind me in her pregnancy yet i swear to you that she tries to be/act more pregnant than me. She's not really showing a bump, more like prior belly (I had it too, i just tried to hide it) yet when we went shopping the other day she got out of the car, immediately unzipped her shirt and put her hand on her belly and walked around like that. Whatever, no big deal, just a pet peeve i guess. Anyway, she won't stop talking about how hard and tight her belly is already and then tells my friend that i even felt it and said it was so hard. What i really told her was this, yea it's hard, but feel my belly here (put her hand where the baby wasn't) and then feel here (put her hand where the baby WAS and showed her what hard really meant). I know it seems silly, but if i mention tiredness, nausea or heartburn she of course has had it like 10 times worse than me. Then she's going on about how we're really not that far apart (which in life is true) but I'm 7 months and you are 4... yes, there IS a difference honey! It's like she's trying to be more pregnant or a better pregnant person than me. Ugh its' just sooo annoying. Then she's all like, i'm anti maternity clothes and i don't want to buy any... well then stop pushing your belly out and acting more pg then you really are if you don't want embrace the whole aspect of pregnancy.

I'm probably just being a rude hormonal pregnant person, but she seriously irks me.

OH! i forgot a part! we were at BRU and she's picking up all these things and being like OH you should register for this and this and that. Most of that stuff i had already had on my registry so i said, already got it. But after the 9283723948 time, i was like, you are giving me NO credit i have ALL this stuff on my registry! Then she goes on about how she has pretty much everything she needs, furniture, playyard etc so i was like, well, just wait til you get the list when you go to register, you'll be no where near what you need. (i was basically trying to be a pain in her butt like she was being in mine). And she kept going on about how her df wants to go with her to register like he should be awarded father to be of the year for wanting to go. i'm like ummmm yea ben wanted to go too, and he did. I think most first time dads do!???? ( i could be wrong but again, i coudln't stand it!)

ok i feel a bit better now

Sorry hun! I'm laughing but I know it's not funny to you! People can be so darn annoying at times!! Sounds like she is doing it on purpose or she is just really dumb and doesn't get it. Either way, don't play her game, just keep your distance for awhile so you don't injure her, lol! Hope your vent helped some

We had friends like that (note I said "had"). Everything we did they tried to one-up us. It was so tiring. For a while we used to think up things that we would tell them that we were thinking of getting to see if they would try to outdo us. We told them that we were thinking of getting a hot tub (we weren't) and sure enough, they went out and spent $6000 that they didn't have to get one. For a while that was fun, but I eventually told DH I was done with them.

It makes me wonder what people like this are missing in their own lives to act this way?

how annoying!

jensma · #6 November 23rd, 2010, 04:46 PM

lol kim, thats funny!!

JessMitch · #7 November 23rd, 2010, 05:22 PM

Kim that is hilarious!!! I can't wait to get in a nice hot tub after this pregnancy is over! I love me a hot tub!

Anyway, thanks for the tips and advice. It's so annoying and nice to be able to vent here ya know? I do vent to my friend who was there that day and she noticed it too so that makes me realize i'm NOT just being a b*tch

dh on the other hand probably wouldn't understand. She's DEF one of those people that has to one-up everything you say. She randomly asked me and my friend how long we had been bff's and we said 7 years... she goes " yea me and my bff have been bff for 23 years". ummm ok!? wth lol

Ha ha...there are some aspects of life that really don't need to be a competition.

LoLo'sMama · #9 November 23rd, 2010, 05:50 PM

Kim...hilarious! I can't believe people are so nuts!

MommyPoky · #10 November 23rd, 2010, 10:15 PM

Lol, yeah just avoid her, she's obnoxious. I still haven't been in a hot tub since I got pregnant. Boo! Maybe with the long weekend, dh can watch Josie and I can go to the gym hot tub.

OMG that is super annoying! I used to have the one upper friends as well, but decided my life didn't need the extra stress! It's stupid that people are so lacking in their lives they have to act that way! I also had the friends who caused drama in their own lives and tried to get me involved. Uh no thanks! Life is so much better with sane friends! Haha!
