Negative people (kind of long)
I have a lot of friendly acquaintances at work & during the past couple of days they have been asking me how I'm feeling, etc about the baby. So today I tell everyone that we are most likely going to paint the nursery this weekend before the weather turns. A co-worker asked me if I already ordered the crib & what colours I am doing & such, so I tell them. Well there is a BTDT mom who comes down with us who ALWAYS has a comment about something. She is like,"What kind of colour is that for a baby's room," and "You wasted so much money by buying that crib, what are you crazy?" Um, ok I already ordered it, and I told you that my MIL bought it.
The other day she is like, are you ever going to dye your hair. I tell her no, I don't feel comfortable sitting in a stinky salon getting my hair done while PG. She says, don't be stupid I get my hair dyed every 5 weeks while PG.
W T F??? When I want your opinion I'll ask for it

Tell it sista! 
You will get comments about EVERYTHING you decide to do.  Just take it with a grain of salt & do what you and your DH want to do.

Re: Negative people (kind of long)
i hate when ppl just won't keep their opinions to themselves.. hmmm... who does that remind me of..? ah! my MIL. ppl just need to understand that picking out colors for the nursery to picking a name for your little babe may seem easy as 1-2-3 but but not quite so. after all the thoughtful effort put into the task and then get pee'd on is very disappointing, let alone annoying as freaking HELL! argh!!!!!! i hear ya, girl!
just be stern with her while 'friendly.' if she's anything like my MIL.. hahhahah! good luck! cuz she and i aren't talkin' and that ain't bad!

Re: Negative people (kind of long)
Ppl have opinions and think the belly bump makes it open season for advice. Ignore them!
I also got sick of baby anything at the end - just b/c I have a belly it doesn't mean I want to talk about being PG ALL DAY LONG
I can't wait to see how efficient I'll be when I'm back at work

Unfortunetely there will always be someone who will offer their unsolicited advice. Try your best to ignore it which is very hard to do.

Argh. I know what you mean. I'm not even showing yet and I get a lot of unsolicited advice. A well-placed snarky response might make 'em take the hint!

Re: Negative people (kind of long)
I especially love when they launch into horror stories.
As in:
Co-worker - "How far along are you?"
Me - "23 weeks"
Co-worker - "How've you been feeling?"
Me - "Really good, thanks."
Co-worker - "Just be careful, I know someone who felt fine up until the 23rd week and then...."
Why????? Why would you fill my already paranoid pregnant brain with more horror stories?

OMG this is my other new pet peeve. PSA: I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR HORROR STORIES Thank you.
