I am not preggo.

[Writerbird]

I am not preggo, preggers, PG, or anything besides pregnant. I know my friend from college means well, but for heaven's sake, does she think a vengeful god will smite her if she says the whole word out loud?

Also, I'm not having a babe. I'm having a baby. I respect that other people are having babes. I also respect that other people have vaginas and vulvas, but I personally have a southern hemisphere and that is just the way I like it. I don't try to stop anyone from using THEIR words, why can't people let me use mine?

And for that matter, I am not moist from the constant, neverending mucus attacks. I am damp. My son does not have a birdie, he has a penis. And if I want to call my darling, sweet, supportive, very excited about the baby husband "my better half," I don't see why I should have to tolerate some miserable hussy in the grocery store telling me that I'm not taking my rightful place as the goddess of the home.

This bout of irrationality has been brought to you by a lack of cheesy poofs.

sending you cheesy poof vibes and much empathy.

[Jujubie]

Dammit, now I want some cheesy poofs. LOL

Big to you!

[happyhippiemama]

I'm not in your DDC, but this post makes me wish I were.

mmm, cheesy poofs. Tings just aren't the same, yk?

Birdie? My oh my. Someone else's children is going to be bankrupting them in therapy when the time comes.

Writerbird that made me laugh. I agree though. I had a friend comment on me being PG and I told her "I suppose, but sometimes I'm R, but mostly G!"
When I was younger my mom made me call my "southern hemisphere" a front bum. Even when I was like 6 it seemed silly to me.

Haha! Thank you for sharing, nice to know I'm not the only "wierd" one. Honestly I cannot watch anything on oprah after the first time I heard her say vjj or however the hell you want to spell it. It just drove me nuts and want to throw something at the TV. I hope you get your cheesy poof fix soon

Hehehe I try to be proper when I speak about my body (for the most part) and I secretly love watching my stbBIL squirm when I say uterus My southern hemi is occasionally refered to as my vajayjay (haha I love Grey's Anatomy ) or most often hoohaa/crotch. Not so proper, but hey no one is perfect


When it comes to DS he says pee pee for his penis. We haven't had a need to have a convo about "mommy's parts" yet

dd calls my boobs beebees. and her entire southern hemisphere is her bobo. oh well.

[True Blue]

That made me laugh.

We use mostly real words too. Though DD, after learning about the vagina last night and how that is where the baby comes out (she knows the whole area as her vulva) started calling it her 'vavulva' LOL.

I agree that "moist" just sounds....icky!

[smokeylo]

Dude, I also SO HATE THE WORDS PREGGO OR PREGGERS! They make me instantly totally irritated and pissy! WHY SHORTEN IT? Same # of syllables! Agh, just typing this annoyed me.

[flapjack]

Great smiley, Lauren. I haven't seen that one before.

Personally, I prefer "in the pudding club." It leaves people confused as to whether I am gestating or merely obese.

[gingerbane]

This cracks me up! Mostly because sometimes DH and I joke that we have our own secret language what with all our shortening and changing the words we use.
