Appreciating the dedication you put into your website and detailed
information you provide. It’s nice to come across a blog every once in a
while that isn’t the same unwanted rehashed material.
Excellent read! I’ve bookmarked your site and I’m adding your RSS feeds to my Google account.
Yep. And after delivering – have you lost all the weight yet? Really?
Or even worse….after delivering…”When are you due?”
I don’t remember much about what people said..I ignored most of it. What aggravated me were the people who thought they should be allowed to touch me. Ummm noooo. ..pregnancy is not an open door to be groped by random people. Or anyone who is not my husband.
People are jerks…they think they are funny, but they are dealing with the most hormonal people…and well, I’ve bitten my tongue more than once, and might have not a couple times, too!
I’m only 5’2″ tall and so my babies have no where to go but out. A gentleman from my church asked how soon until I was due (at the time I was like 26-28 weeks along) and he said “Wow….you’re gunna be huge!” I’m pretty easy going and know he’s just a teaser so I just laughed and said, “you know, even if she’s crowning, you never say that to a pregnant girl!”
That is hilarious. Only from the brain of a man can that be laughed off.
