STOP staring at me! Vent.

So, I know I am huge right now. I am at just about 40 weeks and even my Maturnity clothes dont fit right anymore. I know I look like a friggin BARGE.

But please... random strangers, stop staring at my belly like I am some sort of alien life form about to explode a super secret evil weapon at you.

Hello? My face is up here? AND, at least have the decency to look embarrassed when I catch you staring. Also, i am not remotly prejudiced so dont flame me, but why is it all the hispanics are the big time stare down people around here?

Yes, I am Preggo. Yes I have a huge belly. Leave me alone and let me do my grocery shopping. OMG!

 

*this vent brought to you by, a visit to the local grocery store.*

    I've been getting that a lot too... some of them, when they eventually look up at my face and see that I saw them staring for a long time, will ask me when I am due, as if that makes up for looking me up and down.

    I wonder if they're imagining what would happen if your water broke just then...

    My husband is Spanish and Portugese and claims it's a cultural thing to be overly interested in pregnancy.

    When we got married, all of the Hispanic workers that I would see everyday at the casino I was at were on baby watch with me.  Always asking me when we were going to have one and on 3 occasions, asked me if I actually was pregnant. I am a pretty slim person who appears to constantly have a small baby bump, so I have the lovely experience of being asked if I am pregnant when I am not at least once every 6 months or so.  It's great...I love itSad

    I get that too! I am also dealing with a major back issue that makes it hard for me to  walk so I also have a crutch to help me walk or am in a wheelchair. 

    So yeah, I am not only the size of a sumo wrestler, I also limp around with a crutch. Everybody stares at me. I also get all kinds of comments. Sometimes people try to be helpful and indicate where the little electric carts are at the grocery store (duh, if I wanted one, I would get one!) Sometimes I get weird and random comments from old ladies about their hip replacements, not sure why. Today, I got in the elevator after a doctor's appointment and a lady just looked at me and said "Wow, talk about adding insult to injury!". Um, my baby is not an insult or an injury!!!

    Amen...  That's my baby in there, get your prying little eyes off of him! 

    I am more comfortable with someone staring at my huge boobs than my huge belly...
