My baby, not yours, and I'm NOT sharing

This is a blog I posted a few weeks back. Wanted to share:

This is my first baby, not your second chance

So far, I have noticed a plethora of rather annoying traits that come out from people when I they learn that I am pregnant. It seems that my growing belly gives people the impression that all manners are out of the window…

I barely have a belly yet, and you have an urge to touch it? For what, the extra five to ten pounds that have accumulated in four and half months? There's no baby kicking yet, you won't feel anything. You never touched me before I was pregnant, how is it okay to do now?

Leave me alone about my caffeine consumption. I have read in MANY books and forums that a safe amount of caffeine is anywhere from 150 mg to 300 mg. If I have ONE Diet Pepsi, I am not harming my baby. It has 35 mg of caffeine in it! By the lower range of safe, I could technically have almost five cans of the stuff!! Back off! It's not like I'm downing a Bud Light.

To breastfeed or not to breastfeed: This is my personal decision. I will learn as much as I can about both options and choose the one that works best for me and my family. This is not time to judge me for not choosing the "right" way to do things. What works for you works for you. I will find out what works best for me.

I want to find out the gender of my baby. Please don't look at me like I grew two heads. You can do what you wish when you are pregnant with your own baby. Please don't say I'm losing my chance at one of God's only real surprises. Wasn't a positive pee test a surprise enough? It's not like I'm choosing the gender. I'm just peeking at what God already gave me.

Okay, enough venting for now… Thank you kindly.
