So much for the Afterglow

It's amazing to me that people will say such ridiculous things to a pregnant woman. Here are a few gems that I'm sure will echo in my mind for years to come...

"Oh, wow, you're huge!"

"You're eating again?!"

"You're bigger every time I see you!" (From someone I typically see 3-4 times a week...)

"Those buttons look like they're about to pop."

"You have jowls."

"It looks like your face is retaining water."

"Oh, you're wedding ring doesn't fit anymore? Is that because of the weight?"

Ah, yes. At just the time this 'glow' is wearing off, I really appreciate the kind words. And because it seems to be everyone's first question: 33 pounds. That's normal.

  2. Aw, I know some people say things you absolutely do not want to hear! The entire last 2 1/2 months of my pregnancy, SO many random strangers would ask me if I were having twins! After telling them nope just one, they would say WOW are you sure!? As if, just maybe, I might not actually know!!! haha or I'd also get Man! That's gonna be a biiiig baby! gee thanks! lol I was house-huge though! You are such a cute pregnant woman!!

  3. Wow. When I get pregnant and people say stuff like that I'm going to give the the look and then say, "Yes, I actually have another human being inside of me. What's your excuse?"
