People have asked me several times over the course of this pregnancy "Has anyone said anything crazy/rude/offensive to you since youve been pregnant?". I happily have always answered "no." Well, now I must recant that answer! I think the baby 'bump' has officially become more like the baby 'basketball' or 'beach ball' - and everyone else is noticing.
Both of the comments occurred yesterday - and it wasn't because of what I was wearing bc I had changed clothes (so I can't use that as an excuse - darn). The first: A friend's mom looked at me and asked "When are you due? Tomorrow???" (and then proceeded to laugh and make her eyes really big and reach a hand out to the belly). Haha - Glorious!
Then, last night at the Preview Party for Christmas Jubilee (the huge holiday market Junior League throws/sponsors every year) I overheard an older man at my parent's church (I think that is who he was?? I just recognized him but couldn't place him) talking with my mom about me. She said we only had a couple months left, and he looked at me and said "O she won't make it that long. There is no way she can make it that long." And then when I walked up to talk to them, he gave himself the opportunity to repeat himself and let me know that I will "not make it to January and should really be expecting this baby any day now." Because he knows. NIIIIIICE. Oh and he also said - "yes you are carrying it just like a boy - big and up high." That was the first time I have heard that one!!
Honestly, these comments just provided some humor and I didn't get upset or seriously offended by them. It just made me think that maybe I do really look like a cow and my vision of my belly is not shared by all. I am now anticipating the "are you having twins" comment any day now. So it begins!!! :) (See pic of the baby Beach Ball below)
