i can't be that big

While at Sam's Club yesterday, I had a lady say to me out of the blue..."How are you even standing up?"

I turned around and asked her if she was talking to me. She said I was so pregnant that she couldn't believe I could even stand up let alone walk. She asked when I was due...I told her a couple of days. As she and her husband/boyfriend walked away, they were talking about how "busy" I was going to be with four kids. Like I'm not busy now or I wasn't busy with two kids or even one child.

Anyway, my point is how I find it so interesting that now is the time in my life that people think it is flattering/complimentary to tell me how "BIG" I am. I often get asked, "Are you having twins?" Or told, "Man, you look ready to pop!" And on and on and on. Coming from friends and family...no problem. But total strangers, it gets a little bit old. Yes, I am pregnant. Yes, I am due soon. Yes, I'm sure I'm fun to gawk at. But, please...enough about how darn big I am.

Seriously, at that point in my pregnancy, I'd have (at least wanted to) take that lady out. Who says that!? I always try to compliment very pregnant women: "You look so great!" "Hang in there!"

And, SO excited for you that baby will be here SOOO soon! Can't wait to hear the news!!!

I feel for you. People did the same thing to me and I was about to smack the lady but chose to just turn and walk away. I'm so excited to "see" him soon.
