would you say to someone who was not pregnant.."wow! you're huge" or "can you get any bigger?" or just plain "hhhoooollly!!!!" or, would you look at someone and let your eyes open so wide and stick so far out of your head that the recipient of your comments feels like she should bend over and pick your eyes up off the floor?
i would seriously hope that your answer would be: "Me? no, i would never say that!"
good. glad we have that settled.
so.
why would someone dare to say that to a lovely young expectant mother such as myself? someone who is obviously pregnant and in turn highly emotional and hormonal?
your guess is as good as mine.
BUT
today, for the first time (no joke) in the past 2 months, it didn't happen to me. no ones eyes feel out, no ones jaw hit the floor, and best of all..no one stared!
guess why?
CAUSE I WOKE UP BIGGER THAN YESTERDAY AND DIDN'T LEAVE THE HOUSE ALL STINKIN DAY!
although i almost went mad from cabin fever, the break from peoples ridicule was much-a-welcomed.
Its such a weird feeling for people to comment on your size all the time. I mean, i know they don't mean to be rude, but how is it not rude to make such comments? in actuality, how would they like me to respond? really...
should i laugh it off? should i just say "yup, a 10 pounder!" should i say thank you? should i ignore them? just tell them things are on schedule? honestly, what should i do?
the thing is-- I am very happy and excited to be pregnant. I am happy that my unborn child is growing well, i am happy that i have a healthy (beefy) child growing inside of me. shouldn't i be worried if i am not big, if the baby is not growing well..if i was too small for my size...? a few people have almost brought me to tears lately. enough is enough! i know i am big, i know October is a long ways away, i know my baby will be large. so. now that we have that sorted out, LAY OFF!
In real
and then here comes the millionth but...
things are not looking as promising as they once were..
- a previous section
- a baby over 9 lbs
- possible placenta previa
- a bit of protein in my urine from the last 2 visits which can lead to pre eclamsia (toxemia)
- the fact that his baby is going to be a hefty one..
well, enough of my b!tch!ng and complaining.
if you are still reading..
thanks for listening!!

don't we look like babies? wow. this picture was taken just after we got married. 2005..babies i tell you!
