Hype!!! There is always so much hype about everything. Take for instance the Café Rio salad. For about one year I heard nothing but how amazing the Café Rio salad was….Everyone LOVED Café Rio and they LOVED the salad. Well, when I finally went into Café Rio and got a salad there were a few disappointments. First, I was yelled at by everyone who worked there because I had no clue what I wanted and they just wanted me through the line, which was another disappoinment because the line was 30 minutes long!!! Then once I got the coveted Salad and took a bite into it, I have to admit I was expecting more….I wasn’t totally sure what I was expecting, but I was expecting more. I had heard about this salad for over a year…I guess I thought it was going to change my life…but it only changed my waistline.
So now here I am, pregnant. And experiencing the pregnant hype. I have been given a lot of advice by people about being pregnant, when the baby comes etc… I am not a person who loves being pregnant. I have had a bit of a rough go and it seems that pregnancy is not my favorite gig. Maybe the Chinese were right when they said that I should have had a baby before I was 30. Lol! I have also been hearing all about when the baby is born and what to expect. I feel like I could write a book about it. What I am expecting from what I have heard is the following:
Piles upon piles of laundry. So much laundry that one person could never get it done in a day let alone a week. PILES of LAUNDRY! MOUNTAINS OF LAUNDRY!!!!!
No, and I mean absolutely, NO sleep. From what I have heard, I am planning on NEVER sleeping again!!! For the rest of my life, once this baby is born….NO SLEEP!!!
Disliking my husband. Now, I am NOT planning on this one, but from the things I have heard about having a baby…If all goes according to the advice I have gotten, I will hate my husband by day 2….How can this be possible? I am not really sure, but it seems that it does happen from the advice I have been given.
Never, ever, again having any time to do anything I want or anything I love to do. For the rest of my life, I am a prisoner to my child and they will consume and suck every bit of time and energy out of my life. I will be consumed with cleaning, laundry, feeding, changing diapers, etc… I wont even have time to go to the bathroom! And, I will never spend time with my husband again. EVER, we will NEVER spend time with each other again! NEVER AGAIN!
I will never get my old body back. I might as well just not try to get back into shape after the baby because it will never happen. I will never look the same. As far as I know my body is totally destroyed….gone!
I have to stop taking my dog for walks. Apparently, I can’t walk a dog and a baby (in a stroller) at the same time. It’s just not possible. I have even been told I should get rid of my dog…..GET RID OF MY DOG????? FORGET IT!!!!
This is just a smattering of the baby hype I have heard about and am planning on. Though, I am hoping that all this baby hype will be a lot like the Café Rio salad. Just a lot of Hype but not a lot of truth to it all. No offense to café rio salad lovers.
