images via Lavender and LiliesToday has been one of those days where the contractions have made me cry. Trying to hang in there..I decided this morning at breakfast that i really want to write a small book on the etiquette of talking to a pregnant woman. i am not even joking… haha. i have had soooooo many crazy interactions that i want to share and i know that plenty of you have had them as well!! shoot me an e-mail with your crazy stories! Even if it’s just an ebook or whatever.. “guidelines” for people need to be out there!! haha. if they only knew how they sounded… 

i’m linking up to these parties today!!

    You are so awesome! I saw your thumbnail on my sidebar and I was like, “Wait! That’s me!”. Thanks for featuring me. These would be great colors for a nursery.

    I love this color combination! Fashion fact: coral is the color that is most flattering on almost all women! I’ve gotta go check out Lavender and Lilies to find out where that skirt came from. Praying for your pain! This baby just really wants to meet her loving mama :)

    Orange is my favorite color!

    I was at Pottery Barn when little kid was 3 days old and a sales lady said, “Oh what a cute baby…and it looks like you are expecting again?”

    Clearly, she had never had a baby.

    Gorgeous colors and I can see why you would like her blog… great taste! I agree about the book on things not to say to someone expecting. I have heard the most outrageous things that people say and think it’s perfectly fine. Hang in there!

    her color posts are so fabulous. These are two of my favorite colors too:)
    I am so sorry you are having so much pain! You are almost there! Remember that as soon as you see the face of that baby it will all be worth it! <3
    And seriously, I could contribute to that story book. I had a waitress ask me if I needed a highchair at a restaurant when I was pregnant. …?!?! I didn’t have the baby yet! Seriously…he he he

    Just found your blog and really like it!!!
    When I was preganant I had a lady tell me…don’t cross your legs at the ankles because it could do damage to the baby…and proceeded to tell me how a family member of hers had not “heeded this tidbit of advice” and birthed a Still born baby! I at that point was about 7 months pregnant….not something I wanted to hear at all!!!
