Why do people stare?

Ugh. We went to the grocery store and all over people just stop and stare at me with their mouths open. What? You've never seen a pregnant lady? Oh and if one more person goes 'ooh! Almost done!' I will through my ensure shakes at them. Nope. Not almost done. Only 18.5 weeks! Imagine how huge I'll be later and then you can make me completely uncomfortable by staring at me somemore. Grrr!

    I interviewed a lady yesterday and i was only 30 seconds into walking into the lobby and asking her name and she said "Oh my you are huge, are you going to pop right now" SERIOUSLY!!!! KISS MY ASS and you can forget the interview even if you are totally qualified!

    Yeah, I'm getting kind of sick of it.  I feel like I'm constantly on display and, unlike starting at "normal" people (considered rude by most), people seem to find it perfectly acceptable to stare at pregnant women.  The worst is when it happens in a restaurant.  I feel so akward like a cow eating and being stared at when I get up (multiple times) to go to the bathroom.

    With DD I walked by a lady who goes "Wow" to whomever she was walking with.  DH had to restrain me from going after her.

    Speaking for those who don't comment, I recently went to see a live band at a local club (don't worry, it was non-smoking) and there were other pregnant women there who looked farther along than I am and I was thinking "geez, I wish I could look that good when i get bigger".  No lie.

     So, hopefully some of those onlookers are a bit more well-intentioned.

     And to those that cannot keep their thoughts in their heads, shame on them!
