So being 26 weeks pregnant, living in the 'burbs' and taking public transit has to become an issue at one point in time, and believe it or not… the time has come.
With this third kid – I started showing a lot sooner than before and I feel like I am 9 months pregnant and not 6 as stated by doctors. I take go transit in the morning and since I get on on a second station from the start of the train route I always get a seat- on my way back home is a different story.
Sometimes I take the go transit and get a seat- but of the time I don’t. I try to hide the fact that I am pregnant by placing my purse so that people cant see me- I hate it when people bring the pregnancy to their attention (and not just to them but to the entire train wagon). I feel like people start to feel sorry for me and it makes me feel like pooo J I politely decline the seat and that’s that. I would rather decline the seat then be ignored all together.
The issue I have (and call me crazy if you would); is that on days when I take TTC (aka subway) or LRT people just simply ignore. Subways are much harder to stand in and get soooo busy and crowded that sometimes you have to push people just so you can get OUT of the train. With a belly in front of me- people don’t see so they push and shove and go crazy all the time.
So … people ignore me. I stand right in front of them- with my belly out … they look up (from either reading a book or playing on their phone or what-not) and go back to doing what they were doing. Some people pretend to sleep so they don’t have to get up.
YOU KNOW I CAN SEE YOU LOOKING ..and that’s what bugz me the most. Have some common courtesy/manners and ASK a pregnant person, elderly, woman with a child if they would like to sit down!!! Chances are (unless they really need to) they will decline and your butt will still be in the chair relaxing. Have some respect for people who are older than you!!
I feel that the lack of manners/respect/courtesy comes from a home.
Teach your children what a good person should do … teach them to hold doors, say please & thank you, speak to older people with respect, offer a seat to somebody who needs it and just teach them to be GOOD in general. It is amazing what a little bit of ‘culture’ would do to a child and to a community/world!

.. we have a live one here ...
Welcome!
Or should I say- you must be crazy :)
Lets start with a quick recap of events this past week:
1. Both of my daughters are SICK :(
The older one (she is 4.5) has a both ear and throat infection- yey me. She has been at home sick and missed picture day at school and of course learning about the famous letter "A".
Younger one (19 months) has a really nasty cough and one her ears is a bit pink- she is on medication (antibiotics) and HATES THEM :) She tries to spit them out, however the clever mother that I am .. I plug her nose so she is forced to swallow ;) dont judge- y'know you've done it as well just wont admit it.
2. I am now 26 weeks pregnant and gained 7 lbs :(
Not sure if I really need to elaborate on this but I will .. Since the beginning of the pregnancy I have lost some weight due to morning sickness and just plain not eating and not taking care of myself. Last month (my 5 month check up) I was great- did not gain any weight, there was really nothing to show.. you can barely even see that I had a stomach let alone that I was preggo. This month on my 6 month .. I gained 7 lbs in less than 30 days, and I look like I am 12 months pregnant- yes I said 12 months :) I am hoping to calm down my weight gain .. for I have three more months to go and I want to be able to walk in/out of my house using the front door and not the sliding door in the backyard!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3. I am looking for good deals on baby furniture & decorations for baby#3.
Since we know that it is going to be another girl- I am starting to look for furniture and decorations for this little girlie-girl. My older daughter's room is princess like and painted lavender, younger one has a pink room with hand painted flowers and butterflies (courtesy of ME :)) so I am really looking for something different and exciting baby #3. ANY SUGGESTIONS?????????????
That's all I have for now- be sure to check in again. Things come to me alllll the time. xoxo
