Thanks for checking out the blog, Mary. :) Congratulations on your big boy!

The comments… I just can’t get over how rude some people can be!

Just found your blog through Newly Wedded Wife and am loving it. I’m 34 weeks pregnant with a very large little man (who may be coming early) and am absolutely loving (insert sarcastic tone here) my one coworker’s comments of “You’re getting as big as a house!” or “That thing can be used as a weapon!”. Seriously, I’ve only gained 9 lbs!!! Gotta love the open mouth insert foot comments!

girl, I had people coming up to me all the time when I was preggo. They didn’t touch me, (thank God, I probably would have hurt someone-raging hormones)
At 6 months I started getting the same comments. Random people at work stopping at my cube, people at stores, including a check out cashier. It was all the same…twins? due any day? dropped yet?

Seriously. those days with morning sickness when I actually showed up for work? I stared a lot of people down. this did not deter them

My ultimate (nearly at the end of my pregnancy) when I went to the shops and waited in line and the guy in front of me said:

Guy: You’re expecting twins?
Me: No, just one
Guy: Give us a side profile…
Me: Ready to smack him over the head…

AHHHH! I am in utter shock that people would say things like that to YOU especially, a little model of a beautiful pregnancy! I’m getting nervous. In the UK, Scotland at least where I was pregnant with my son- British people would just NEVER say things like that. Sure, they were probably thinking them, but that’s where their passivity was a good thing I suppose. = ) Lord help me, I’m a sensitive woman!

Oh my word, I can’t believe some of the things people have said to you girls! I think it’s safe to say we all pretty much feel the same about those types of comments, right?

Nanette – I almost said, “Thank you!” about the boobs comment, haha.

“Your boobs are HUGE!” and a recent “You’re pregnant? Really?” have been the strangest comments I’ve gotten. The first one is true, but still! And the second one made me wonder if I still looked pudgy instead of pregnant.
