I wasn't hungry toward the end of my pregnancy either. I read that it's common because your stomach is so compressed that it tells your brain "I'm full"! :)

Good for you, telling that obnoxious boor to lay off. Elegantly done!

The pliers story made me laugh. I swear, we married the different versions of the same man!!!

Our church is having a similar event this Friday and we're finally taking advantage as well. They do it every month and charge $10/ child, but it's worth it to have 4 child-free hours and have them feed the kiddos dinner!

I never experienced loss of appetite, until Russ. Maybe it's a boy thing...

Take care friend and enjoy DATE NIGHT!

I don't know whether it is normal not to be hungry at this stage but I know I wasn't. (Although I wasn't hungry most of the time while pregnant.) I remember going out for a meal and having a starter as a main course and that was it while everyone else had starter, main and dessert.

I've never understood why people think it socially acceptable to comment on a person's size just because they are pregnant. People even started asking me if I was sure it wasn't twins and I was nowhere near big enough to be twins.

33 weeks - the time is flying (well probably not for you, but for your friend over the other side of the world!!LOL)
Yeah I carry my babies all around as well when pregnant - totally understand where you're coming from.
With the twins from about 30 weeks I couldn't eat much because I was never hungry & couldn't fit anything in my stomach due to baby squashing! I lost heaps of weight! Glad the party went well - I do think you did the right thing in taking that obnoxious person aside as there is no reason for comments about age etc. Have to go & get school started!
Have a lovely day!
Renata :)

Heather, Loved your post today! I am so glad you said something to that "age fixated" man. Why is it that some people find humor at the expense of others? I never understand that mean mentality. I usually suffer silently when someone does that to me, but next time I will take a page from your book and stand up for myself!!! So proud of you!
Laughed about the onesie and the pliers! I love how differently hubbies seems to see things!! Makes life an adventure!!
Enjoy your evening out next Friday!!!
(by the way, got your Christmas card today!! On my birthday! LOVED IT!!!! I love getting to know you better! You continue to be such a delight in my daily blog reading! Have a great day.)

I remember the sudden feeling of "I have to pee, RIGHT NOW!" I decided that if I ever did pee my pants in public I would just gasp, hold my belly and announce "My water just broke" and then waddle out to my car as fast as possible. At least with that excuse no one would get in my way! Thankfully I never had to use it.

Enjoyed reading through some of your blog today!

I would have never thunk he was so much older...he looks so young! Age doesn't matter...you two seem so perfect for each other.

My husband is 14 years older than me and we have heard the same snide comments. I hated food by the end of my pregnancy. Thank you for the Christmas card. Glad you had a good weekend.

I also applaud you for saying something to the man about his age jokes. I am 10 years older than my husband. I will be 47 on my next birthday. I get tired of the age related jokes, myself. My father in law was one of the first to start this. He really enjoyed pointing out that I am only 4 years younger than his wife (which, by the way, is a few years younger than him!). I don't know why people, at our age, make such a joke or deal about this subject. Anyway...good for you for calling him out on it. Hang in there with the pregnancy!

I'm at week 32, and I am envious that your little one is dropping down. Our's is happily playing wii-fit on my rib cage! And, I have no appetite too. I often forget to eat and remember when laying awake at 2:30 suffering from insomnia.

Just wanted you to know that I feel your pain!

Hi Heather - I LOVED the observations on marriage in Mercy. (Although Anne Tyler's Back When We Were Grown-Ups and/or The Amateur Marriage are probably better revelations on marriage.) Since Mercy is one of her older books many people haven't read it. I also read The Tenth Circle which was so-so: I actually have a hard time remembering the title of this book which probably isn't a good thing. (I recently looked it up, b/c it was bugging me.) Someone also just recommended 19 minutes but I haven't read it yet...I'll let you know. Try to at least enjoy the quiet time to yourself. Its about to come to an abrupt end and you'll be wishing for even 5 minutes of it soon enough. Happy Holidays, Kim

I am glad you survive4d the Christmas party and especially that you silenced the guy about the age difference thing. He needed to be told about himself. And be careful with all the cleaning you are doing!
