@Jackiep1023 don't feel bad. LO is over 4 months and just getting into size 1 diapers & 0-3 clothes.
She was only 9lbs 3oz at her appt last Monday. She can still wear SOME newborn onesies but nothing with feet because long.
People look confused when they see this newborn sized baby holding her head up so well or sitting up so well with just a little bit of support to keep her from toppling over.
@ivedonethisb4 in my experience, unless it's someone who has a tiny right now they're not confused. People forget how small babies are when they're new. I only feel the need to add "but he was premature!" When I'm at something like a BWI meeting where there are tiny babies everywhere.

This. People are all the time commenting how tiny LO is to be [insert activity, like holding up head], and she tops out size and weight charts for her age. So it doesn't matter; people just don't know.
LOL and I've had people (who don't know he was premature) tell me that he's so big. ...he's not even ON the growth charts for his actual age. He's just short and chunky.
On the size thing, we get some that tell us he's big and some that tell us he's tiny. He's dead on 50th percentile for everything. People just feel the need to say something.
And since we're talking creepy crawlies, I was picking up the boys from DC last week and DS1 found a dried up dead frog. His DC provider got all squeamish and was like "Ew don't touch it. Ill have DH move it later." Cue my son picking it up, saying cool, and asking her where she wanted it. Love him.
@bribbon@RondackHiker snakes creep the shit out of me, we don't have any where I live... Don't tell me y'all like spiders too!?
My grandpa used to tell us there was no reason to fear snakes or spiders, especially the big ones because, to quote him, "If they're that big, they're eatin' somethin'." Of course, he would then go on to list the even creepier things they could be eating. Like rats. EWWWWW.
And yes, I know it's not SUnday, but I get more bored at work than I do at home, so I have time to catch up.
Aw! At least those are harmless. My DD calls them "black erasers"
I usually like to catch them when they're not popping out at me. Three garter snakes scared me worse.
I was working at a farm and reached over head to pull a hay bale down from the pile. As it tipped to me three baby garter snakes fell off it and hit me in the face.

Spiders are fun!
I seriously can hardly bring myself to kill spiders. As in I am terrified. You would think my being a mom I would overcome this but no. Just today I became paralyzed when I saw a spider on my couch... The size of a quarter...chunky...I had to get the ant spray to kill it. I'm too scared to clean up the dead body. Ugggggg

I was wide awake after that.
