Finally - some nice PG comments by strangers...
This week I have had THREE instances where instead of people acting like complete jackholes and making me feel like I'm a walking whale, they have given me compliments about being pregnant!
1) Flu shot nurse at work - asked me when I was due and when I told her she said "oh my! you look fantastic!!!" It made my day
2) Today at my baby shower - the same woman who asked me if I was having twins when I was pg w/ Avery at 33 weeks - came in and realized it was a baby shower and she thought I had longer than a month left. She was amazed I was already 8 months along!
3) (My favorite) - Today I was at Sam's and the cashier didn't see I was pregnant right away. She finallly realized it and said "woah! look at you! you're pregnant!" and I was waiting for the ass-tastic comment to follow along...however... she told me that I "rocked the pregnant belly"! and that I was super cute! She even called her friend over and pointed me out! LOL!
It made me feel so good about myself...

It is so nice when people are polite instead of jerks. It always amazes me what people think they can say to complete strangers!
I saw your earlier post about scheduling the repeat C-section and I hope that you are feeling better about the decision. I understand feeling like you have to "defend" it though, even if it is medically necessary. I had a scheduled C as well and it was such a roller coaster of emotions/ expectations. It was still a great birth experience and remember... at the end all that matters is that you and Ryan are both healthy and fine!

BFP#3: 12/23/11 Progesterone started 12/29/11 Stick, baby, stick!
That's awesome! I haven't had any comment yet but I am mentally getting ready for them...lol
That is fantastic!!
I work at a turoring center, and we have these long sort 'u' shaped tables where the teachers sit in the middle and the table is around us. The other day I got up to go to the bathroom and one of my newer coworkers looked me funny and goes "wait, you're pregnant?! I had no idea!"
I know part of it is the table hides me, but it still made me me feel pretty awesome!
