As I was checking out of Sprouts yesterday, the cashier said these exact words to me. I don't know this lady, even if I did... I do not want to hear this. I am the one who carries this belly around, ALL THE TIME!!
I looked at her and said, no actually I am due in March.. just a big baby... and she says, "I certainly hope it's a big baby." Why in the world would anyone hope I was having a big baby????????
Mind you this is after I left my doctors office, where he told me.. I have gained too much weight with this baby. If I could I would have slapped him, but Jamey was in the room... and I am teaching him.. we do not hit!
I guess this in one of my pet peeves... I do not start off a pregnancy, saying to myself.. hmm.. I think I am going to gain a lot of weight during this pregnancy... and not a lot the next one. My body does what it does, and I do not have a lot of control over it.
With both boys, I gained the exact amount of weight with both. I worked 12 hour days on my feet with Caleb... eating healthy and getting exercise. With Jamey, I had problems from the beginning.. and I couldn't be on my feet a lot, and I certainly didn't exercise. I couldn't, it was a doctor's order. Yet, my weight gain was the same as Calebs. Explain that one!
Now with this little lovey I am carrying. I started gaining weight even before I found out I was pregnant. I couldn't understand why my clothes were not fitting.. I wasn't doing anything differently that would cause me to gain weight, Yet, I was.. and since then it has been non-stop. I am more active this pregnancy, then I was with Jamesjames.. yet here I am.. gaining to much weight!!!
I am convinced our bodies do exactly what they are suppose to.. we gain the right amount of weight for whatever reason. Would I like to be one of the skinny pregnant woman, who loses it before she leave the hospital?? Absolutely!!! But! I am not, and I have come to terms with that... I just don't want people telling me that I am a big fat cow!

Why can't people just say "Wow, you look beautiful!" ?????
Seriously, people!
Ann, you look beautiful!!!
You poor thing! Whatever- you're just fine. People just feel entitled to say whatever random stuff they want to. I can't tell you how many people have scolded us for giving Odie a "boys" name. My grandmother asked if we were going to call her by her first or middle (girly) name right after she was born and when I said first she answered "Oh, I was hoping you would call her by her middle name..." Now what do you say to that?!
I think you look lovely.:)
Ann- YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL- don't let those stupid doctors tell you otherwise- tell them it's their job to deliver the baby and that's it!
