pregnancy prompts ( pt. 1 )
iโm seeing a lot of baby fever on the dash lately, PLUS a lovely nonnie asked for angsty pregnancy prompts and i wasnโt able to, so have some lighter baby prompts instead! love to all!
โ isโฆ is it mine? โ
โ have you thought of any baby names? โ
โ i thought the doctor put you on bed rest? โ
โ hey! i got you starbucks! decaf, of course. โ
โ have you had any cravings yet? โ
โ ahโฆ i know. morning sickness is no fun, huh? โ
โ youโre going to be a mother/father/aunt/uncle/etc. โ
โ i saw the pregnancy test in the trash. โ
โ the pregnancy testโฆ itโs yours. right? โ
โ does the father know? โ
โ whoโs the father? โ
โ it doesnโt matter about the father. iโm here to support you and this baby, no matter what. okay? โ
โ youโre not alone. it takes a village to raise a kid, right? โ
โ i wantโฆ a cheeseburger. with fries. and a strawberry shake. and onion ringsโฆ โ
โ is it a boy or a girl? โ
โ what color paint do you want? for the nursery? โ
โ we need to go shopping! baby clothes, maternity clothes, furniture, all of it! โ
โ iโฆ we should get married. right? thatโs what you do, whenโฆ when thereโs a kid? โ
โ i know it was just a one night stand, butโฆ iโm gonna support you. whatever you decide to do. โ
โ shitโฆ umโฆ i-iโm the dad. right? โ
โ you got that pregnancy glow. โ
โ heyโฆ this is new for both of us. but i reckon youโre going to be a terrific mother/father/parent. โ
โ iโฆ i slept with someone else while we were separated. they wonโt pick up their phone, butโฆ iโm not sure if youโre the father or not. โ
โ maybe we should move in together. n-not permanently. just until the babyโs born. โ
โ wait a minute. heartbeats?! plural?! weโre having twins/triplets/etc?! โ
โ woahโฆ this pram costs more than three months rent. โ
โ ikea really knows how to make building a crib stressfulโฆ โ
โ god, iโm a mess. i cried yesterday while watching an advertisement for fence paint. hormones are something elseโฆ โ
โ can i have your fries? donโt judge me, the babyโs hungry. โ
โ my backโs been killing me for the last month, and i have four more months to goโฆ my chiropractorโs gonna have a field day. โ
โ i know we want this to be a secret, but people are getting suspicious. i can only turn down champagne so many timesโฆ โ
โ wanna go with me for the next scan? itโs a big one, we get to keep a copy for the baby book. โ
โ oh, you best believe iโm signing up for all the babysitting duty. โ
โ would you like to be their godfather/godmother? โ
โ iโm their honorary aunt/uncle, let me spoil the little kiddo! โ
โ they have the instructions for this crib in every language except english. they have it in irish! who has it in irish?! โ
โ no! no mayonnaise! itโs bad for pregnant people! โ
โ i took the test nine times, okay, and all of them are positive. this is real. this is happening. โ
โ i always wanted kidsโฆ โ
โ that kidโs gonna be the most insanely loved baby in the world. โ
โ donโt look at me like that, okay? weโre going totally tee-total until the baby comes. โ
โ i swear, if i read one more baby bookโฆ โ
โ i wouldnโt mind, but all the women i meet when i go outside the door, all have different advice for me. the bump is like a magnet to themโฆ โ
โ i wouldnโt blame you if you walked away, you know. you never signed up for a baby. โ
โ one thingโs for sureโฆ everythingโs going to change the minute people find out about the baby. โ
โ here! i got you some take-out. and i researched like, fifty mommy blogs to make sure this stuff was totally safe and healthy for you. โ
โ i donโt know if i ever had a plan for my life, butโฆ if i did, i think pregnancy was later down the road. โ
โ my love, starting a family with youโฆ itโs my greatest wish. but if youโre not ready, thatโs okay. what will be, will be. โ
โ hey, why donโt we plan a baby shower! โ
