Pregnant 200 days and counting

Strangers come up and talk to me all the time.  They ask me lots of questions and then go in to a diatribe.  The first thing people always talk about when discussing babies, is always negative. 

*Better get sleep while you can.
*You won't be able to go on fun trips when the babies come.
*Let me tell you my horrible birthing story.
*You'll never be on time when the baby comes.
*You'll be broke once the baby gets here.
Etc etc.  This list is so long but I don't want to dwell on them.

I know all these things, but why bring up the negative people?  Why not tell me the good?  Let your first instinct be to talk about the wonderful and positive experiences of being a parent.  Let's be Optimistic Olivias!  Not negative Nancy. 

Let me hear
*Being a mother is the greatest joy ever.
*There is nothing like your babies for first smile.
*A babies laugh is so fulfilling.
*It is so wonderful to be in love with something that has done nothing but be born.
*What a wonderful feeling to see God's creation. 
Etc. 
That's what I want to hear! And what every first time mother should hear. 

And yes I will try to make the most of my time as a married couple with no responsibilities.   Jason and I love our sleep.  We also enjoy some quality time together.
