One of the many reasons why I love my Dr.....

At my appointment yesterday, I mentioned that I get tired of people (mostly older women) making comments about how small my belly is and how I must be starving the baby and blah, blah, blah.... and my Dr. asked me if I knew what a "Boss cow" was.  He then proceeded to tell me that it's someone who pretends they mean well with those sorts of comments, but really they just want to be in control of everything... He then (jokingly) told me to respond to them by saying, "My Dr. told me that my measurements are on target and the baby is just fine....however, I guess if I were as fat as you, my stomach would probably look as large as you think it should."  And then he told me to smile sweetly and then blame my saying such things on my pregnancy hormones.  lol

This Friday I had a second co-worker tell me about how big my tummy looks. She said that it looked like I was about to pop and not to be offended. (My hubby assures me that I am right that I am nowhere near that big. My hubby is an honest dude and will tell me when something makes me look fat.) Anyway, since this was the second time, I was prepared. I lifted my shirt, pulled the panel of my jeans down and exposed the 6 inch scar running across my stomach and proceed to explain in graphic detail how the scar tissue is making it look bigger and the way I was opened up and the direction the surgeon went in to remove part of my bowels last Spring. (I was about 30 days from work. Did these same women who say I'm big express any concern when I was out? no. Did they say anything to me when I returned? no. I had emergency surgery and these btches don't want to say anything but they apparently think it is fine to tell me how big my stomach looks...). Anyway, even though on on the opposte side of the spectrum, I totally feel you.

 I just don't know why anyone thinks they need to talk about the size of anyone. Complete lack of tact. When my MIL made similar comments about my hubby's cousin not gaining a lot of weight and starving the baby, I was livid. First, my MIL is morbidly obese so she needs to keep her mouth shut about any person's weight. Second, to suggest someone who intentionally harm their baby...I just think that is terrible.

My teeny little sister is 115 lbs soaking wet and 5'6" each time she was prego she just looked bloated for the first 7 months like she ate a gigantic thanksgiving dinner or something, she didn't really start "showing" until right before she poped. Some how this broad had 9 lb youngins each time!!!! Her kids are so healthy and roliepolie you just want to eat them up. Were all just past the half way point and I couldn't even fully feel my little charlotte until like a month and a half ago. When I got into this I expected to look prego wayyyyy sooner and the fruit of the week really puts it into perspective. Just blame it on superior genetics that those hatin broads didn't get lol. Ide love to not have to put on 3 shirts every time I go out until I find one that doesn't make me look like a redneck.
