Just for fun

Yesterday I walked into work and saw someone I hadn't seen in a while.  She looked at me and said, "Wow, your hair is so long."  I wanted to hug her!  Twenty times a day people tell me, "wow, your belly is so big," or, "wow, your belly is so small," or, "ooh, it looks like you're getting ready to pop!"  I know it comes from a good place but I am so sick of everyone constantly telling me what my belly looks like to them.  I was so tickled by a comment that had nothing to do with my belly that I had to laugh a little.  Is anyone else sick to death of smiling politely all day while people comment on your bumps?

Yes!! I'm so tired of hearing I'm small! (I know it's backwards than how it usually is.) But it makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong! I constantly hear "oh did you just find out?" or "You're hardly even showing, how far are you?" Then I have to answer, oh 7 months! Then I hear "oh my, you must just be waiting to pop out any day now!" GRR!

I get these exact same comments all the time. It doesn't help that I'm a high school teacher and kept having to deal with the comments of ignorant and uninformed teenagers.

Yeah, it's getting a little old.  I mean, I sort of appreciate the extra attention and it was REALLY exciting during my first pregnancy but this time, I'm like "ok, I get it.  I'm HUGE.  I'm having a baby. It's a boy.  No, he doesn't have a name yet.  Now back off!" 

Today, I am wearing a figure-flattering outfit and I have a pretty nice suntan to go with it.  So a lot of strangers have said "you look so cute...when are you due?" And yes, that's a compliment but even that is getting annoying.  I'm ready for people to start telling me how cute my baby is!

Im used to it by now. It's really not that big of a deal.

I totally feel you!  I am so sick of, "how are you feeling?" - Umm, like I'm almost 36 weeks pregnant with twins.  So like I'm carrying one 11lb baby with extra fluid... tired, sore, ready to be done. 

Or "OMG, you are SO small for twins." -Uhh, thanks.  I can never tell if this one is a compliment or not.  

Or, for those who don't already know, "Are you SUUUUURE there's not two in there??"  -Yep there are... are you saying I am HUGE?

I prefer, at this point, if people just ignore the fact that I am pregnant.

that must have been nice to receive a compliment like that. I had an older lady customer tell me today "you're a really pretty girl" it just made my day because the LAST thing I feel is pretty lately....
