"Clever" comments from strangers..

"Clever" comments from everyone, really. I've had several in the last few days.

Older lady at work told me, "You're preceding yourself," pointing to my belly.?
Waiter at the Mexican restaurant was the 3rd person in 2 days to ask me if I am having 2. When I said, "No, just one," he replied with, "Ohh, just a big one!"
Random employee at the hardware store told me I was "just about to pop!"

I'm 8 months pregnant, people. I have a short torso. Oh, and just like in first tri, I am magically full of gas and poop all the time, too. So add bloat to the baby in there that, with my luck, is built like my husband, and yes- I'm going to stick out a bit.

I know, I know. It's part of pregnancy- I just haven't been in the mood for the bombardment of "cute" comments in the last few days.

Anyone get any gems lately??

    One of the adorable little old ladies at church pointed out to me that I was going to have an awfully big baby.  I informed her that I'm totally normal sized for where I am and that she's just remembering the tents they had to wear when they were pregnant so she never knew how big any of her friends really were - today's clothes show off the bump more.

    I have had so many people tell me how tiny I am (trying to be sweet) that I actually dreamt that LO was a dwarf, this is one time in life where looking big doesn't bother me.

    I can't say any of the ones I've gotten are clever. I get mostly the "look how much your spreading" comments which make me want to throat punch someone.

    I got the old "are you sure it's just one?" last week from a coworker. Ugh. And, from a chubby frienemy, "wow, you just keep getting more huge every day." Ugh, and throatpunch on that one.

    Yup, I'm big. 5'4", and over 180, easy. I love my big huge bump. One of the perks of bedrest is that I don't have to listen to these stupid comments anymore!

    I work with annoying older lady who constantly asks me if my baby is "getting fat".  Um, first of all, I can't see my baby so I don't know what to tell you.  Second of all, how you do you really want or expect me to answer that question time & time again?  The next time she asks me I'm just going to have to tell her that I honestly don't know how I'm supposed to answer that question.

    i don't know if you heard, but summer is hot.  if one more person tells me, "wow, you're gonna be huge in the heat of the summer", i'm going to scream.  really?!?!?  oh, well, that changes everything!  i'm 28 and had no idea summers were hot.  oh, and let me hit the pause button; i definitely don't want to be pregnant if it's hot outside!

    forgive the sarcasm :)

    The claims manager at the insurance agency where I work is convinced I will have a 10-pound baby.  DD was 9 lbs, 8.7 oz.

    (I'm not sure I doubt her though.)
