Huge congrats seige! I hope the rest of the pregnancy goes perfect for your wife!
I think julyshemustfly's post was perfect!
Also, the annoyance tends to come from the implication behind the 'advice' rather than the advice itself... the implication that I'm an idiot, the implication that the average joe loves my child more than I - the MOTHER - does, etc...
That is what I get annoyed by, even though I understand it's not done in a nasty spirit, but babies bring out the emotions and so things tend to get communicated on a higher intensity plane than other advice... I'm guilty of that too...
We just smile, nod, reaffirm that WE are the Parents, and go on with our lives...
