A lovely stranger asked me today when I'm due. When I said, December 28, he did a double-take and asked if I was having twins. Gulp. Yeah, I'm kinda big right now. It snuck up on me but apparently it hasn't snuck up on anyone else.
Upon seeing me last week my dad commented, "Wow, you're getting big!" When I showed Roger a photo of me at 37 weeks pregnant with Delaney and asked him if I look that big now (at 33 weeks) he said, "Oh, yeah. The kid's gonna be a linebacker...not that I'm happy about that." (Roger's not exactly a sports fan).
Despite my only gaining 18 pounds so far (I guess there is something good to be said about enduring 16 horrible weeks of morning sickness), I'm gigantic.
Today, while feeling new baby's position and declaring him "heads down" my doctor also mentioned that, "he's got a pretty big head!" The good thing to be said about that? Hello, C-section.
Hey, my daughter was born Dec. 28! We'll have to confer about how to have a decent birthday celebration between the two biggest holidays of the year.
I think you look beautiful.

How DARE that EVIL person ask if you are having twins!?!?! That happened to be just once and I'm certain that convenience store clerk was a moron. No one with half a brain asks a woman that.
I'm with Kelly O: you look lovely. See you tomorrow!

you look awesome! love that shirt!
when pregnant with big girl, i got into an argument with a woman who was certain that i was having twins, going so far as to say my doctor and my ultrasound were wrong. if i could have got my leg into the air, i would have kicked her.

Yup, I was right there with ya. I think I said the same words, in fact. But hon? When it's not you? You know, the person in the mirror? You can see how lovely you look. And you do!
Strangers need swift kicks in the nuts most days, I find. :-)

Pttthhht. You look great.
Stupid people saying stupid stuff to pregnant women. It will never end.

I got HUGE in my second pregnancy, too, outgrowing even my largest pregnant pants and causing my mother to recommend I consult a tent-maker for new dresses. I was not cursed with morning sickness, though, and so had gained about 50 pounds! Everyone thought I'd be birthing an elephant...but Lars came out a mere 1/2" longer than his brother had been and only 7lb 13oz. Anyway, if you find yourself having outgrown everything in sight, give me a call. I'm sure I still have Beullah's number around here somewhere - she made a very nice tent...
