I am a stay at home wife and really don't go out around people very much so I have not had to deal with endlessly rude comments so maybe that is why people's comments don't bug me but I thought I would share the couple that I have had and see what other people have heard. A couple of weeks ago a random lady asked if this is my first when I told her yes. She proceeded to tell me to stop at two. I thought it was kinda funny, my husband thought it was rude and none of her business. Told at Mcdonald's I came out of the bathroom and the guy that worked there said "we should have asked the pregnant lady she would have taken it." I just smiled and asked my husband what they were talking about. Apparently the made the wrong milkshake or something and were going to give it away but nobody wanted it so they threw it away. I still thouht it was kinda funny but I could see how it could be taken offensively. Like pregnant woman will eat anything, we are supposed to be human garbage disposals. My brother in law asked my if I was getting uncomfortable cause I sure looked like I would be uncomfortable. None of these really bother me probably because at 28 weeks they are the only comments I have had. wondering what other people have heard.
Re: funny comments people make
My mom was telling me about a dream she had. In it I was hugely pregnant "like you are now" she says. Thanks mom!
)
I had a little boy come up to me at an indoor water park and just say "Congratulations!". That was cute.
I have people ask me constantly why I'm still pregnant because they think I should have delivered by now. And yes I look that big. I know this.
My mom said she was talking to my step-MIL on the phone and step-MIL asked how I looked because she hasn't seen us since I was 9 weeks pregnant...mom says "I told her you looked big as a house." Thanks, mom!

lol, everytime i come downstairs when i see my mom, she makes a comment about how i've gotten bigger. I think it's just a mom thing.
I think the only really funny one was the older guy at my pharmacy who told me i wasn't allowed to have a baby. When i asked him why, he proceeds to tell me "I'm not ready to leave this world, honey...don't you know that's the way it works? One comes in, one goes out" it was kinda sad in a way...but the guy was adorable and totally sweet.
I was getting a massage yesterday and the massage therapist (she was very odd, but gave a damn good massage) asked me if this pregnancy was planned. I stammered out a yes. It was so awkward. Then at the end of the massage she told me my baby and I inspired her to become a midwife and doula and thanked me. I was all, "Um, glad I could help?" Lol.
On Saturday my second cousin had her baby (although we're second cousin's, were super close because we are only a year apart). I was talking to one of my friends at my baby shower about how my baby and her baby were going to get married one day. My mom butted in and said "I thought Natalie was going to marry Dylan (my second cousin's new baby)". I said "Ewww, that's incest." My mom goes on to continue putting her foot in her mouth and said "Well, Emily is your second cousin, so Dylan is even more far removed. So it's like their not even related." My grandma and I had to just go "No, no, no, no, no. Gross." Lol.
I don't post much, but I have one to share.
My MIL lives in Texas and this is her first grandbaby. She really hasn't been too involved because of the distance. My mom, who lives in town, has really been enjoying herself. We go shopping for the baby together and she has even come with me to a few of the doctors appointments when DH couldn't be there.
I've been feeling bad that MIL hasn't been able to be involved, so DH and I invited her to our last ultrasound this past Tuesday. I was 28 weeks and 1 day that day. Note: everyone I talk too says I don't really look pregnant and I don't normally take offense or anything because I wear baggy clothes a lot of the time. I can still see a difference though..
Anyway we are at the doctors office and the tech comes in. MIL proceeds to tell me "you don't look pregnant, you look like a little fat girl."
Nice. I don't know that I will go out of my way to think of her anymore..
