A patient caught me stuffing a laffy taffy in my mouth today. Without missing a beat he said, "Are you eating for two or three." It was hysterical.
Tom's wanted to post pictures of my belly for weeks. I've been stubborn and have said no multiple times, hence the rain and soccer pictures. I figured I'd post a picture and then add a list of my favorite things people have said to me over the last few months.
-When I was 6 months I was in the elevator with a maintenance man who spoke enough English for us to have this conversation:
"Two more months?"
"No, four."
"Two? Twins!?!"
"Nope, just one."
"Oh! No."
-At church, just as the first speaker started: "Wow, you're ready to POP! Your back must be killing you."
-At work, talking to a patient on the phone: "You're the one that's pregnant right? And you are having twins?" (I have to cut this one some slack, he's 85, and he remembered me.)
-From a co-worker: "Your back is getting really wide."
And my personal favorite:
-"Any day now." As if it is a whole sentence, and they always rub their own bellies while they say this.
I'm sure that everyone who has ever been pregnant or who has friends that have been pregnant can add to this post. The stories are endless. In the end you just have to smile.

Yay! You look so adorable. People have no tact....but some of those comments are a little bit funny:)
My favorite was the wide range of comments about how big you are. In the same day I would have someone tell me how tiny I was for being 8-9 months pregnant and then someone ask if I was having twins. Also all my co-workers who for the entire last month before I went on maternity leave said "you're still here?" At least 3-4 times a day. There was one CNA that said this pretty much everyday. (I went on maternity five days before I actually gave birth)
PS. you do look adorable--you're all belly!
I'm so glad to see this picture!!! You are sooo cute. Love you, MOM
I don't know why being pregnant makes it okay for people to say rude things about your body, but apparently it does. You do look cute, but pregnancy always looks cute on other people.

You are ALL belly. You still have a tiny little booty. I think you look great.
Holy cow the rain pictures are crazy. It rains like that here and it kind of freaks me out. I always feel like my house is going to float away. Those are cool pics though.
So are you having twins?

What is wrong with people? I swear they are trying to be nice by commenting and then they just end up making a fool of themselves. Regardless, you look great! It could always be worse, you could look like me when I'm prego. You have no butt. It's mandatory to get a big old booty when your pregnant. Hang in there, it's almost over!!
I remember I was about six months pregnant, and a lady came up to chat with me. She asked me when I was due, and she said, "Really? I would have said next month." I said "No, I'm definitely due in October." Then she said, "And you're SURE you're not having twins?" LIKE I WOULDN'T KNOW IF I WAS HAVING TWINS! I didn't know what to say after that. My favorite comment was from people that would come up to me after my due date and say, "So, when are you having that baby?" As if I knew. But anyway, we think you are so cute! Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy and the baby's birth. It's a great experience!
Love, Cole and Jessica
I think your tummy looks adorable. You are all baby. My favorite comment from people was have you had that baby?? Duh??
Can't wait to see him when he comes out. See you in October. I can't believe you are all grown up. Em told me to go home and look up your blog. Love ya, Kelley
I think you are pregnant! When is this baby due to arrive? When I was 4 months pregnant with Natalie and Nicole a lady said to me " If I was as big as you when I was 4 months pregnant I would shoot myself". My doctor told me I should have said back " If had a mouth as big as your's I'd shoot my self".
Leave it to Jim to be clueless. Last summer when G and I were pregnant he had the guys all stuff their shirts with beach balls. They thought they were so funny--thinking we all looked exactly alike. Their beach balls only weighed two ounces. Try walkin' around with the real thing! I always got the waddle comments.
