Was sure it would happen sooner than later....people are just clueless

I manage a restaurant, so I'm out and about the restaurant chatting with people all of the time.  People always ask me questions, how far along I am, is this my first, what is it, any names yet yadah yadah.....these questions are the norm and I have become very used to them.  Although I knew it would come soon, from previous experiences with my first son, some of the questions or things they say just blow me away.

Soooo, lady asks me (mind you a woman that later on tells me about the birth of her childrem) when I'm due, I say May 6th....she seriously widens her eyes and stares dead on at my belly.  Well that's an awfully big baby in there...ummmmmmm, awkward.  Thankfully enough I'm not easily offended, but her reaction was sooo dramatic, I just laughed and talked about something else.  Can't you just be nice lady, don't you remember what it was like being pregnant, oh that's right your an old miserable wench...hehe

Just waiting for the, are your sure there aren't twins in there chuckle from someone....ugh

    Same thing happened to me yesterday! I work at a bank and I am usually behind a desk.  I stood up yesterday and one of our regular customers was standing there. His eyes bugged out and he stared at my belly.  Talk about awkward lol

    Same here!

    My co-worker told me yesterday that she has a hard time believing I still have 3 months to go.... Well, I have to admit my belly really popped again lately and I look pretty huge. I laughed it off, but the image of me having to go down the 6 flights of stairs of my building to go to work at 8+ month preggo is really terrifying...

    I get asked all the time if I am having twins......I almost want to say, "are you implying I look fat"?  They seem serious about the question too! 

     Everyone just tell me I am glowing and radiant and nobody gets hurt.

    I get that all the time... I just smile and say "well daddy is 6'5, so yes we expect a big one"

    I don't find it offensive myself :)

    I have this woman at work who is due exactly a month before me.  She is same size as me and comments all the time about it.  Then I hear her talking to the girl in the cube next to me about how she is so concerned about how big she is and how she is watching what she is eating.  Seriously! We are pregnant, I love my belly and don't hold back if I want sweets!
