Hello Lexington FAMILY Magazine readers!
I was at my favorite watering hole tonight (otherwise known as the gym), and I couldn't help but count how many people stopped me to comment on the size of my growing belly. I kept getting comments like "Wow, you only have about a week or two left, huh?" and "Oh my gosh, your belly has REALLLYY popped out all of sudden! When are you due? REALLY SOON right?" Yeah, not so much.
My due date isn't until the beginning of December, but if you've read my post about the baby's sudden growth spurt ("Holy Cannolis"), you'll know she's suddenly growing very fast. The way the LFM office is figuring now, I could be due anywhere from the middle of November on. BUT, I blame the comments and stares on what I'm wearing on a given day. If it's something loose and flowy, I get nothing. If I wear a tighter fitting t-shirt (like tonight), I get the eyes popping from the heads.
I had a server say to me the other day that she figured I was "doing the healthy thing" because I didn't want cheese on my salad and the fact I ordered water (give me a break, I just don't like cheese on certain things, and I'm not having caffeine!) Apparently it's only obvious to SOME people that I'm so pregnant I'm about to pop! *stupid girl*
I'm wondering: what's the worst thing that someone has ever said to you while you were pregnant? Please, let me know!
Until next time, have a little couth!!

Well Karyn, I can't remember any specifics (I'm old, and memory is kind!) but I know I heard the word "huge" frequently!! Well, I delivered 10+ pound babies. Of course I was huge!!! People say things to pregnant women that they would never dream of saying to the general populace. Don't know why, but they seem to think that normal courtesy does not apply. Might have something to do with the fact that anyone who has ever had a baby knows that by the time your baby is born you will no longer have any modesty left, so what the heck. Just take it in stride and enjoy what is left of your pregnancy.
