So typically we hear about people asking, "Are they identical?" or "Do twins run in your family?"...things like that. I decided to turn the tables a bit and had to share.
I am subbing a fitness class this week for an instructor at a gym who is on vacation. Its a senior citizens fitness class, SilverSneakers. I subbed for this instructor back in November, December and the first week in Jan while she was out recovering from back surgery. I havent seen this group since then.
I walk in today and am saying Hi to some of the members and getting my items needed for class. While making very quick small talk and getting my things together, I see all of the looks and almost every set of eyes I walk past are staring at my protruding belly Im 28w on my 3rd pregnancy, Im measuring about 7 weeks ahead.
Im ready to start class so I go to the front of the room and reintroduce myself to those who I knew and gave a brief and short intro to those I didnt. Then I said, "Alright, Im just going to cut to the chase and address the elephant in the room. Yes, its true ::rubbing belly:: Ive lost A LOT of weight. I know what youre probably thinking, and I want you to know that I worked REALLY hard to get this tiny figure that I have." Everyone is cracking up at this point and I say, "Okay, Im just kidding...Im pregnant!" One of the women said, "No way! Really?! Youre pregnant?" Hahha. Another gentleman, whom I was always fond of, says, "How did that happen?!" We were all having a good laugh. It was nice not to have the 101 questions that typically follow the "twins" announcement.
Just thought I would share.
