I normally never disagree with you (ESPECIALLY on "Things That Annoy Me Thursday!") but I have a little different perspective on this one.<br /><br />You probably remember that it took us FOR-E-VER (picture that in the Sandlot voice, if you know what I'm talking about) to get pregnant. Before we had Colin, we spent five years doing literally everything we could to have a baby. We spent over a year of that time seeing a fertility specialist while we were in Germany.<br /><br />I had to go there daily, but Curtis never missed one single appointment. He was forced to do his, um, "business" in a cup no fewer than thirteen or fourteen times. He held my hand while I got my blood drawn because I was a big chicken. He learned how to administer the Gonal-F injections to my abdomen. He put up with the hormones making me crazy and moody, and held me at the end of every failed cycle while I cried and cried ... and sometimes even cried with me. It was totally hard on both of us.<br /><br />So when I got pregnant after all that madness, I'm pretty sure I used the term "WE'RE pregnant." Because he'd gone through so much with me, and continued to, in order to get that way ... I felt he deserved more credit than someone who simply put his you-know-what in my you-know-where and ended up a father. I guess I could've used the term "we're expecting," but, like, ... who says "expecting" any more?<br /><br />Although for the record, since we've not had any more fertility problems? I'm pretty sure I'm the only one taking the credit. :)Rita Templetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10332325707063104082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-20053111163682795122012-04-22T21:33:16.208-06:002012-04-22T21:33:16.208-06:00LOL it's very twee

Just like I said "we're in med school" even though my hubs was really the only one enrolled. I say "we" because I feel like we're both going through the process. Believe me, my husband KNEW every miserable thing about being pregnant because I made sure he did. ;) Just like I felt the stress of every miserable test he had to take. True story.<br /><br />So sorry to annoy you, but I would probably still say it were I to get pregnant again. But we can still be friends, right?! :DJanet Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12688012956157161889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-78067298828079057172012-04-19T19:35:59.205-06:002012-04-19T19:35:59.205-06:00I like to announce to people that WE'RE CONST...I like to announce to people that WE'RE CONSTIPATED!Claudya Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17034216831504207496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-86535274997322660902012-04-19T19:22:03.579-06:002012-04-19T19:22:03.579-06:00Shoot one out and feed from your nipples and then ...Shoot one out and feed from your nipples and then tell me - nothin'.

I've never been pregnant, but when that time (hopefully) arises, hubby better not utter the words "We're Pregnant!" It's just...weird. <br /><br />Also, while we're at it, can you write a post on the other things that need to be said?<br />1) Preggers is not a word.<br />2) Husbands better not say they're "baby sitting" when watching their own children. Dad told me that was something Mom said while they were dating: That he would never be "baby-sitting" their kids. He would be a parent.katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15738251806241310569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-44050194849706633342012-04-19T17:13:57.570-06:002012-04-19T17:13:57.570-06:00I totally agree.
